BUFF163 CS2 prices

BUFF163, operated by NetEase, is the largest CS2 marketplace in the world by trading volume and the single most important price reference for any item that crosses the Chinese market. A large share of all global CS2 liquidity clears here, so its quotes anchor the low end of the cross-market price curve for mainstream skins.

Access is geo-restricted to mainland China and the platform is denominated in CNY, which SkinPricer normalizes to USD before comparison. Sellers pay a small percentage commission on completed sales; buyers pay no listing fee. Payouts run through China-domestic rails (Alipay and bank transfer), so withdrawal options are narrower for international users than on Western venues.

As the deepest CS2 order book in the world, a BUFF163 quote is the natural low-end anchor to weigh against the cross-market NBBO — especially on mainstream skins, where its liquidity is strongest.
