No more guesswork – we know exactly what items are in the highest demand among CS:GO players. We checked out all of last year’s trades on DMarket and identified real hot sellers.
The most popular CS:GO pistol? The top-grossing skin for AK-47? An average price for a Factory New M9 Bayonet | Doppler? Just go on reading.
CS:GO ITEMS BY PURCHASES:
Weapon Skins - 63%
Cases \ Keys \ Packages - 29%
Sealed Graffiti - 4%
Stickers \ Capsules - 3%
Gloves \ Other Items - 1%
Weapon skins accounted for 63% of all CS:GO deals on DMarket in 2018. CS:GO Cases, keys, and packages were also in demand, with their 29% of the total number of trades.
CS:GO WEAPON TYPES BY PURCHASES:
Regular Weapons - 90%
StatTrak Weapons - 9%
Souvenir Weapons - 1%
9% of all the CS:GO skins purchased on DMarket last year were equipped with StatTrak kill counters. Rare and pricey souvenir items are just not a wholesale sort of thing.
CS:GO WEAPONS BY PURCHASES:
Rifles - 48%
Pistols - 32%
SMGs - 11%
Heavy - 7%
Knives - 2%
Rifles and pistols – that’s what CS:GO players need in the first place. Knife skins are the least widespread but that means they can really make you stand out.
CS:GO QUALITY RANKS BY PURCHASES:
Field-Tested - 44%
Minimal Wear - 29%
Factory New - 13%
Well-Worn - 8%
Battle-Scared - 6%
As for the exterior quality, most players choose the middle way. Not too expensive, not too worn out, just fine – Field-Tested weapons.
TOP CS:GO RIFLES BY PURCHASES
AK-47 33% AK-47 | Redline (Field-Tested) $5.59
AWP 19% AWP | Asiimov (Field-Tested) $26.35
M4A4 10% M4A4 | Desolate Space (Field-Tested) $7.34
M4A1-S 9% M4A1-S | Icarus Fell (Factory New) $24.50
Galil AR 5% Galil AR | Chatterbox (Battle-Scarred) $1.38
No surprises here. The AK-47 is by far the most popular CS:GO rifle and item at all. The Redline in Field-Tested is easily the most favoured skin for that wide spraying but powerful gun. The skin’s average purchase price was $5.59 on DMarket last year.
The AWP is greatly behind the AK-47 in terms of the number of trades but has no real challengers among sniper rifles.
TOP CS:GO PISTOLS BY PURCHASES
USP-S 19% USP-S | Kill Confirmed (Field-Tested) $17.51
Glock-18 17% Glock-18 | Water Elemental (Field-Tested) $2.43

P250 11% P250 | Asiimov (Field-Tested) $2.54
Five-SeveN 10% Five-SeveN | Monkey Business (Field-Tested) $1.0
Unlike rifles, everything is not so obvious when it comes to pistols. The USP-S, Glock-18, and Desert Eagle top the rankings in tough competition.

MAC-10 16% MAC-10 | Neon Rider (Factory New) $5.29
MP9 15% MP9 | Ruby Poison Dart (Well-Worn) $3.11
There is no obvious favorite among submachine guns as well. The light but quite powerful UMP-45 is slightly ahead, while the MP7, P90, MAC-10, and MP9 follow it in close succession.

Nova 26% Nova | Hyper Beast (Field-Tested) $2.23
