Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) Akun, Skin, dan Peti

Prime status is the first divider. Without it an account is limited to the unrated pool, and everything competitive people buy an account for sits behind it. That is why so many listings lead with Prime and why an account without it is a different product rather than a cheaper version of the same one.

The inventory is the second, and here Counter-Strike is unlike most games on this catalogue: skins are tradeable and have an independent market price. A knife or a rare case item is worth what it is worth regardless of which account holds it, so the value of an inventory can be checked against the market rather than taken on trust. It also means an account is sometimes worth less than the sum of its skins — and sometimes considerably more, when the account itself carries the things that cannot be traded.

Those untradeable things are the third lever: competitive standing, FACEIT level, hours played and a clean record. A tenth-level FACEIT account cannot be assembled by buying items; it was earned in matches, which is why it prices above a fresh account with the same inventory.

Last comes the Steam account underneath — age, the games attached to it and whether there is anything on the record. An old account with a library is worth more than a fresh one for reasons that have nothing to do with Counter-Strike, and the numbers above reflect the whole distribution as it stands in the catalogue right now.

Access first, and in this game that means more than usual. You need the mailbox on the account, the ability to change it, and control of the Steam Guard authenticator. An account handed over with somebody else's authenticator attached is not yours in any practical sense: they keep the trade approvals and a route into the account.

Second, the bans. Check for a VAC record, a game ban and — the one people forget — a trade ban or an active trade hold. A trade ban does not stop you playing, but it locks the inventory in place, which turns a skin account into a display case. Every card on this shelf states the record rather than leaving it to be discovered after payment.

Third, decide what you are actually buying: matchmaking or an inventory. If it is matchmaking, Prime and the competitive standing are the fields that matter and the skins are decoration. If it is the inventory, price it against the item market and treat the rank as a bonus.

Fourth, the Steam side. Account age, the attached library and the region of the wallet all travel with it. And if you plan to play from a different country than the account has been used from, expect the first login to ask for confirmation — which is exactly why you need the email, not a promise of one.

Valve prohibits transferring Steam accounts, and Steam Support restores accounts to the person who can prove they created or paid for them. Proof, in practice, means purchase history, payment methods and product keys — and those survive an email change indefinitely. Of every game in this catalogue, Counter-Strike carries the highest recovery risk for exactly this reason, and it would be dishonest to sell it any other way.

What follows from that is practical. The cleanest accounts are the ones without a long purchase history tied to a stranger, the authenticator must end up on your device, and the payment stays with us until you have confirmed that the email is yours and the account holds. 30 days of warranty exist because this specific scenario is the one that happens.

Bans are the second risk and they behave differently from other publishers. A VAC ban is permanent, it is attached to the account forever, and no support ticket removes it. It does not spread to your other accounts by itself, but it does end the value of this one — which is why the record is a field on the card and not a footnote.

And then the cheap listings. An account offered for a couple of euros with Prime and an inventory is one of three things: shared rather than sold, with the authenticator staying behind; bought with a stolen card, which means the chargeback and the ban arrive together; or stolen outright and already being reclaimed. The lower quartile in the numbers above is the honest floor.

Move the Steam Guard authenticator to your own device before anything else, then change the email, then the password, then sign out of all other sessions. Until the authenticator is yours, the previous owner can still approve trades out of the inventory you just paid for — this is the step people skip and the one that costs them.

After that, check the ban record and the trade status in your own client rather than in a screenshot, and look at the purchase history to see how much evidence somebody else may still be holding. A trade hold on a fresh authenticator is normal and clears on its own; a trade ban is not and should have been on the card.

Listing is free and the commission applies only on a completed sale. Price follows what can be verified: Prime status, competitive standing and FACEIT level, hours, the inventory listed item by item, and a clean ban record stated openly. An account that arrives with its mailbox and a transferable authenticator is worth substantially more than the same inventory without them, because that is the difference between selling an account and lending one.
