3. Check Individual Skin Prices: Click on any item in your inventory to see its current market price as listed on the Steam marketplace. This price reflects what other users are currently willing to pay for that specific skin.

4. Calculate Total Value: Steam does not automatically provide a total inventory value. You will need to manually sum up the prices of all individual items or use a spreadsheet to track the total value.

Factors Affecting CS2 Skin Value

Several factors can significantly influence the value of each skin in your CS2 inventory:

• Skin Float Values: This is a measure of the skin's wear and tear, ranging from 0.00 (Factory New) to 1.00 (Battle-Scarred). The less wear (lower float value), the more valuable the skin generally is.

• Skin Rarity: CS2 skins are categorized by rarity, from common (Consumer Grade) to extremely rare (Legendary). Rare skins are typically more valuable.

• Special Features: Features like StatTrak, which counts your kills with that weapon, and Souvenir, which are skins from special events, can also increase a skin's value.

How to Make Your Inventory Public

To use some features and tools that require public access to your inventory, such as third-party tools providing a cautious approach, you must make it available for public view:

1. Edit Your Profile: Click on ‘Edit Profile’ located to the right of your profile name.

2. Adjust Privacy Settings: In the menu on the left, select ‘Privacy Settings’ and set your inventory to ‘Public’.
