Why are CS:GO keys more expensive on the market?
Best answer
EconNerd
It's all about the economics, man. Valve sells keys at a set price, but once those keys hit the market, they're at the mercy of what people are willing to pay. Think of it as a collector's item; some keys are in high demand because they can open discontinued or rare cases, making them more valuable.

CS:GO keys are pricier on the market mostly because of supply and demand. Valve fixed the price in-game, but on the market, sellers can set their own prices. Often, these keys become a bit of a rarity or are used in trading, pushing their market price up. Plus, when you buy directly from the game, it's a straightforward purchase, but on the market, you're also dealing with other players looking to make a profit.

Short answer: because people are willing to pay more. Simple as that.
