Item Values
QHow are item values determined?
Item values are determined by our dedicated Value Council, a team of experienced traders and community members who actively participate in the Sniper Duels trading scene. The Council analyzes multiple factors including rarity tier, current market demand, historical trading data, item availability, recent trade prices, and overall community sentiment. Values are updated regularly based on verified trading activity.
QHow often are values updated?
Values are updated on an ongoing basis as market conditions change. When significant shifts occur in the trading market—such as new item releases, game updates, or changes in player demand—our Value Council reviews and adjusts values accordingly. Some items may be updated daily during volatile periods, while stable items may be reviewed weekly or as needed.
QWhy does an item's value differ from what I've seen in trades?
The values on SDValues represent estimated fair market values based on aggregated trading data. However, actual trade prices can vary for several reasons: individual negotiation skills, urgency to buy or sell, condition variants, the specific trading platform used, and random market fluctuations. Our values should be used as a reference point, not an absolute price guarantee.
QWhat do the demand levels mean?
Demand levels indicate how actively sought-after an item is in the trading community. 'Hype' means the item is currently extremely popular with high trading activity. 'High' indicates strong, consistent demand. 'Medium' represents average market interest. 'Low' means fewer traders are actively seeking the item. 'None' indicates very little trading interest. Demand affects both the ease of trading an item and its potential for value changes.
QWhat's the difference between conditions?
Sniper Duels weapons come in three conditions: Mint Condition (MC) shows minimal wear and is the most visually pristine, commanding the highest prices. Well Worn (WW) shows moderate wear and is priced in the middle range. Standard Issue (SI) shows the most wear and is typically the least valuable. The same weapon can vary significantly in value based on its condition.
QWhat are StatTrak items?
StatTrak items are special variants that track your kills with that weapon. They feature unique visual indicators and are significantly rarer than their standard counterparts. StatTrak versions typically command premium prices—often 50% to 200% or more above the standard version, depending on the base item's rarity and demand.
Trade Calculator
QWhat is the Trade Calculator?
The Trade Calculator is a tool that allows you to input items from both sides of a potential trade and instantly compare their total values. You can add multiple items to each side, select specific conditions and StatTrak status, and see the total value difference. This helps ensure you're making fair trades and not accidentally losing value.
QHow do I use the Trade Calculator?
To use the Trade Calculator, navigate to the Trade Calculator page and search for items to add to each side of the trade. Click on an item to add it, then select the appropriate condition (MC, WW, SI) and whether it's StatTrak. Continue adding items until both sides are complete. The calculator will show you the total value for each side and the difference between them.
QDoes the calculator account for demand?
The calculator shows values based on our database, which does factor demand into the overall value assessment. However, the calculator displays values rather than a separate demand score for each item. You can check demand levels on individual item pages to get a complete picture of trade desirability.
Contributing to SDValues
QHow can I report an incorrect value?
If you believe an item value is incorrect, you can submit evidence through our Discord server. Provide screenshots or documentation of recent trades at the price you believe is accurate. Our Value Council will review your submission and update the value if the evidence supports a change. The more proof you can provide, the faster we can verify and update values.
QHow can I become a Value Council member?
Value Council members are selected from active community members who demonstrate a strong understanding of the Sniper Duels trading market. If you're interested, join our Discord server and participate actively in value discussions. Show that you understand market dynamics, provide accurate trade reports, and contribute positively to the community. Council members are invited based on their demonstrated expertise and reliability.
QWhat kind of evidence is needed for value changes?
We accept various forms of evidence including: screenshots of completed trades showing both items and players, listings from active trade servers, multiple reports of similar trade prices from different sources, and documentation of significant market events. The more independent sources confirm a value, the more confident we can be in updating it.
Trading Safety
QIs it safe to trade high-value items?
High-value trades carry more risk simply because there's more at stake. Take extra precautions: double-check all values, verify the trade window contents multiple times, don't trade when you're tired or distracted, and consider using a trusted middleman for extremely valuable trades. Never share your account information with anyone claiming to need it for trading purposes.
