I wanted specific skins for my AK and AWP but didn't know where to get them. Steam market has some but prices seemed high and selection was limited. Found out there are other trading platforms with better deals. Learned about it here and it showed me how the marketplace works for CS2 items. You can browse tons of skins compare prices and buy what you want directly. Way easier than hoping for case drops or overpaying on Steam. Got the exact skins I wanted for my loadout pretty fast
