“Two skins with the same name can be 10x apart in price. Float and pattern are the whole story.”
About Remy
I'm Remy. My inventory is mostly things I bought because the
pattern was just right, not because they'd go up. On the SkinWise team I cover the
skins themselves: floats, patterns, finishes, cases, and what actually makes one
worth more than the next.
What I care about: the float and the pattern over the hype, honest wear
previews (some skins are gorgeous at FT, some are ruined by 0.16), and case math
that doesn't pretend opening is an investment.
Currently chasing: a clean low-float Case Hardened with the right blue, and a
Doppler phase I keep talking myself out of paying up for.
