How the numbers are worked out
- Fever Case: its lowest marketplace price; you get the case itself.
- Collections, charms and stickers: each pull gives a random item. Valve does not publish these odds, so we assume the usual CS2 ratio (each rarity five times rarer than the one below) and a float spread evenly over each skin’s range; the value is the average over all items and wears at their lowest marketplace price.
- Stickers: each star gives a random sticker from the collection, valued the same way as charms (rarity ratio estimated).
- Fees and trade lock: values are before marketplace fees, and Armory items cannot be traded or sold for 7 days. See the fee calculator for what you keep after selling.
