Every year, a large number of new players join CSGO. It might be returning veterans or whole new players. CSGO skins, however, are what binds them together, aside from their shared passion of Counter-Strike. Each year, Valve provides a slew of new skins for users to choose from, and 2021 was no exception. Expensive CSGO Skins, why CSGO Skins are so expensive?

The M4A4 Howl, which is part of the Huntsman collection, is the sole contraband item in CSGO since it was discontinued since the artists plagiarised the art from somewhere else. Despite this, several Howl skins remain in the game, and the most costly craft in 2021 was Kato 2014’s Howl with four iBuyPower Holos.
