Expert review
Our verdict on BUFF163
4.1 / 5
Editor score
BUFF163 sets the global price floor for CS2 skins — every other site is benchmarked against it. The 2.5% fee and unmatched liquidity make it the obvious sell-side choice if you have CN access; if you don't, you'll spend more time fighting the payout system than trading. As a buyer with a middleman, it's still the cheapest place on earth.
