Rust Skin Arbitrage: Every Market to Every Market

Deals vs Steam buy orders →

Every route between Steam and the third-party marketplaces we track, priced on live sell listings only: buy the cheapest listing on one site, list it on another just under that site’s cheapest listing, and keep the difference after its seller fee. Prices refresh about every 5 minutes. A listing is an asking price, not a sale, so the filters start strict: the sell market needs several competing listings near that price, and outlying asks are ignored.

Trade sites (CS.Trade, Tradeit.GG, Swap.GG, Loot.Farm, RapidSkins) and Mannco.store are buy-only: you can’t list a skin there at your own price, and their prices are already their effective cash cost after deposit bonuses. Mannco.store reports no listing counts and its prices sit far above other markets, so it isn’t a realistic place to sell. Rust.tm is off as a sell market until you enter its fee. Steam’s fee uses Steam’s exact rule (5% + 10% Rust publisher fee, at least 1¢ each) unless you change it.

Listing prices aren’t guaranteed sales: listing just under the cheapest offer on the sell market is the fastest way to sell there, but it can still take time and someone may undercut you. Skins bought on Steam can’t be traded off Steam for 7 days, and Steam wallet funds can’t be withdrawn. Buy prices don’t include any deposit or withdrawal fees a site charges.

Every arbitrage route between the Steam Community Market and the third-party Rust skin marketplaces we track, priced on live sell listings only: buy the cheapest listing on one market, list the skin just under the cheapest listing on another, and keep the difference after that market's seller fee. Markets, fees and filters are adjustable, and the route matrix shows which market pairs have the most profitable skins right now.
