Which price source should I pick, and what does it change?

Before you start

• A Supporter plan: How do I become a Supporter?
• A LootSpectrum account: How do I create an account, and can I sign in with Steam?

Step by step

1. Open Settings and find “Price source” in the “Preferences” card. On a free account it reads “Steam” with a padlock and opens the Supporter plans; with Supporter it is a menu with the note “Used for every valuation.”
2. Open the menu and choose a market: “Skinport”, “Steam” or “CSFloat”.
3. The choice saves at once; “Saved” appears at the top of the “Preferences” card.
4. Inventory value, statistics, activity, watchlist and loadouts now use the cheapest listing on that market, and the label above your inventory value names it.
5. Open an item page: it still compares all markets, whatever you picked.

Good to know

• Choosing the market is part of Supporter. A free account is valued at Steam prices, and a market picked earlier is kept and used again when Supporter starts.
• With Supporter, Skinport is the default.
• The three markets differ in price and in which items they list, so your totals change when you switch.
• An item with no listing on your market shows “—”.
• Pick the market you actually trade on; no market is the best one.
• Four places do not follow the setting: item pages and Compare always compare all markets, the item price chart is Skinport only, and a collection's “Cheapest set” is Skinport only.
• Watchlist and loadout prices do follow the setting.
