Do CS2 knife skins go up in value over time or is it better to just trade them?
Been holding onto a knife skin for a few months now hoping the price goes up. Is that actually a smart move or should I just trade it while I can get a decent deal?
Depends on the knife. Some hold value really well and some do not. Generally if it is a popular type it will stay stable but rare patterns can go up over time
Rare patterns are the key thing here. Most people do not know enough about what actually makes a knife valuable before they decide to hold or trade it. I made that mistake and ended up holding something that barely moved while other skins went up. https://www.pieandbovril.com/general/1051-cs2-knives-how-to-safely-trade-the-most-coveted-skins was one of the more useful things I read when I was trying to figure this out. It gives a decent picture of which knives are worth going after and how to trade them without getting a bad deal. Saved me from repeating the same mistakes
