CS:GO skins are pricey for a few reasons. First, rarity plays a huge part. Some skins are super rare, making them highly sought after. Then there's the demand factor - if a skin looks cool, everyone wants it, pushing the price up. Also, the Steam Market allows players to set their own prices, so if someone's willing to pay big bucks, the price tags can really soar. Lastly, skins can be a status symbol within the game, adding to their value.

Supply and demand, simple as that. Rare skins = high prices.

As someone who's spent a bit too much on skins, it's all about the bragging rights. You rock up with a Dragon Lore AWP, and everyone knows you mean business. Plus, some skins are investments. Their value can go up over time, especially if they become harder to find.

Honestly, it's just digital vanity. People pay for the looks and the exclusivity, even though it doesn't give you any advantage in-game. But hey, if someone wants to pay hundreds for a fancy gun skin, who am I to judge?
