A $1.99 skin is worth what the market says on the day you read it.
Rust skins start as workshop drawings, sell in the item store for a week, and then get re-priced by the Steam Community Market and seven cash marketplaces forever. Scrapsheet pins all of it to one wall — store price, Steam's 15% cut, every marketplace fee, and price bands with the date they were read.

Steam lowest listing
Renders are Steam Community Market item icons, served from this site. Bands round the lowest listing on the read date; a skin that was in the store this week can be far cheaper there.

SHEETWhat this sheet is for
Rust skins are cheap to buy and confusing to price, because three different systems set the number. Facepunch sells about twelve workshop skins a week for $1.49–$3.49 and then removes most of them; Valve's Community Market re-prices them with a 15% cut baked in and pays only wallet funds; and third-party marketplaces undercut Steam by charging 2–10% and paying real money. A player who wants to buy a door skin, sell an old AK, or understand why a 2017 $1.99 item lists for over $300 has to read all three.
We read them so you don't. The buy-and-sell sheet prices one identical item through every market with each fee dated and sourced. The best skins by item sheet lists what is actually worth buying, with bands. The sheets below cover the store rotation, the workshop, free skins, trading sites, and the items players search for most.
Rules of the yard
Every number carries the date it was read and the page it came from; bands, never live quotes, because this is a static site and a live ticker on a static site is a lie. Anything we could not verify is labelled as such rather than rounded into a fact. We are not affiliated with Facepunch Studios or Valve. Some marketplace links pay us a commission, disclosed next to each one, and the fee figures they sit beside are the marketplaces' own published rates — a commission cannot move them. We may cover case-opening and skin-gambling sites, but we never link to scams.
