Counter-Strike: Global Offensive games can provide players with rewards in the form of crates or other items that they can use for their own benefit or directly choose to sell them to earn a few cents or euros, depending on their value. However, among all the elements of the game that are for sale there are some very rare and coveted.
What would happen if you had one of those and you had no idea? Well, that’s what our 3DJ colleagues say has happened to a Steam user who hadn’t connected to his account for almost a decade. To his surprise, he found that he had a series of items in his inventory whose value amounted to a whopping amount of $ 446,894.60.
Yes, as you read, someone has been willing to pay almost half a million dollars for a pack of stickers corresponding to the Katowice 2014 event. This is how another user who has participated as an intermediary in this lucrative operation has told this curious anecdote, who has taken 1% of the income for participating in this type of agreement as a trusted person to demonstrate that it was not a scam.
Apparently the seller did not have not the remotest idea that those stickers were worth so much moneyHence, he was left in check when they contacted him to tell him what they were willing to pay him to sell them. In fact, he even decided to go to a tax lawyer in case this matter could get him into trouble with the treasury of his country.
The stickers in question are from competitive teams that aren’t around shooting any more in Valve’s FPS and that participated in this 2014 event. What’s more, the stickers that are part of the holographic series are even more valuable, hence why all this adds points to its level of rarity and is paid for some amounts that around $60,000 or even more.
In the following image you can take a look at the user’s inventory, where you can see three stickers marked in blue that corresponded to the Titan team, each valued at $70,000, while the one marked in red was from the iBUYPOWER team and it is so extremely rare that a fixed price cannot even be established. Of course, the rest of the stickers that appear are not far behind either.
Therefore, the sum of all these articles has allowed this user to become rich overnight without expecting it. Even so, one of the last updates that has been enabled in CS:GO Dropped the chance of non-stop crates with rewards, so now you can only get one a week and having leveled up tooTherefore, both requirements must be met.
