Pricempire, the best skin stats site?

Pricempire and GamerPay go way back. Almost from the very start of the launch of GamerPay we have been in dialogue. The useful data Pricempire has been able to provide GamerPay has been essential. In particular all the Buff reference prices, which has allowed GamerPay to provide useful and transparent market info to its customers, has been key.

We are very thankful for this and at the launch of this article marks our 2 year anniversary of working together.

We sat down with the Pricempire team to talk about their business, some of their key features along with other CS2 skin related topics.

We hope you enjoy this read.

Key Features

Below we have highligthed 6 key features that both us at GamerPay and Pricempire believe everyone should at least try out.

1 - Comparison

Pricempire’s comparison page allows you to find the best deals at the time and lists the deals offered by a variety of different marketplaces.

The comparison page streamlines the process of accessing current market values, a benefit that is particularly valuable if you are engaged in trading skins on platforms such as GamerPay.

The highlight of their comparison is the popularity view which ranges from 0 to 100 based on various calculations, the popularity factor assists in determining which items are likely to sell fastest which in return saves you a substantial amount of time that would otherwise be spent on sanity-checking the availability of good deals.

2 - Trending

The current trending view gives you access to real-time valuation and statistics surrounding Counter-Strike skins. You can track price fluctuations, gain insights into the items that have had significant changes, obtain an overview of stickers, skins or weapons collections over various timeframes, all presented with a pricing graph for ease.

Note that you can also get an idea of the total value of the CS2 skin market, which as time of writing is worth approximately 3 billion dollars.

3 - Inventory tracker

The inventory tracker allows you to monitor your in-game inventory and efficiently manage your collections. The tool allows you to view your current inventory, assess item prices and organize your collection based on rarity, type or value.

Pricempire also offers additional features such as the ability to track the price trends and compare average prices across the different marketplaces. The inventory tracker proves highly useful if you’re seeking to optimize the value of your trading activities and value of your inventory.

4 - Portfolio tracker

The CS2 Skins Portfolio tracker allows you to view and organize your collections of CS2 Skins, stickers, and other items while providing real-time insights into your portfolio's current value.

This tool is particularly useful if you are looking to invest in Counter-Strike items, helping them manage and expand their collection of CS2 in-game items. You can track portfolio value and make informed decisions regarding item trading and investment strategies.

5 - Liquidity

Pricempire calculate the item liquidity which is referring to the ease of buying and re-selling an item, driven by a high demand and trading data which in return results in a relatively stable price compared to other items.

High liquidity makes an item attractive to traders and investors alike. Pricempire employ a vast amount of data collected to determine liquidity, a critical parameter for nearly all of their core features.

6 - Advanced

Advanced is a free service built for those who want to see data in a more advanced way and have the tools needed for trading. You can easily indicate the future prices of some items by looking at past trends and using the advanced tools Tradingview usually has.

Plans for 2024

The team’s plans for 2024 is to make trading more automated and easier for the average trader, add more options for the Live Page, and an interesting rebuild is on the horizon, possibly even before the end of the year.

How CS2 will perform in the future?

Pricempire’s take:
Following past trends, Pricempire can observe that players tend to get concerned whenever something significant occurs. This time, Valve didn't deliver the game we had hoped for, some might even call it an "unfinished game."

Therefore, we understand why prices are currently going down. On the other hand, we can see that Valve is putting in much effort to improve the game. As a result, we remain optimistic about the future of CS2 in terms of the player base.

It's challenging to predict how the skins will perform this year because they noticed that some prices are recovering again, If Valve takes action, such as releasing a successful operation that increases the player base in the coming months, we may have a strong start to 2024.

This positive trend could continue, followed by a decrease in the summer because of the summer sale. However, we think skins will increase from November prices, if Valve completely fixes the game by the end of 2024.
