Popularity

There are currently 1.3K different items available on the marketplace, with a total of 1.8K listed offers. Additionally, the combined value of all CS2 skins that are currently available on the Dupe market amounts to $922.4K.

Market Type

Dupe is a P2P (peer-to-peer) marketplace. That means when an item is sold on Dupe, it is traded directly from the seller’s Steam inventory to the buyer’s Steam inventory. This has the advantage that sellers can list their items on multiple marketplaces at the same time, since they don’t need to deposit the skins to a single marketplace. The downside is that when an item is sold, the seller must manually approve the trade which causes a delay for the buyer. P2P marketplaces have some benefits for sellers but the buyer experience is not as smooth.

Direct Purchases

Dupe does not use a balance system, allowing sellers to instantly receive USDC payouts to their crypto wallet while buyers retain custody of their funds until they purchase an item. This is a unique and innovative system when it comes to CS2 marketplaces, allowing not just P2P item trades but also P2P money transfers.
