A budget-tier Restricted with a thin-market profile and a clear premium at the clean end. Souvenir copies sit apart and attract collectors, while regular copies trade on a steady, stepped ladder shaped by a capped float and a wide historical range.
This sits squarely in the budget bracket for Restricted pistols, not a headline grail but not a throwaway either. That positioning means sellers will see steady interest from buyers hunting cheap but characterful pistols, and you should treat listings as volume plays rather than one-off miracles.
The payout curve shows a stepped ladder with a harder break near the clean end and gentler moves through the lower wears, reflecting a capped float profile. That stepped shape makes middle wears trade in a wide band while the top wear isolates value.
Factory-clean copies command a large premium because the paint sits crisp on the dual surfaces and the artwork reads best without abrasion; value concentrates multiple times above the mid-band. For sellers, that means neat copies attract the few buyers who will pay extra rather than chasing volume.
Expect a noticeable gap between listing asks and net cashout: the market here is thin, so buyer offers sit back from asking levels and the platform cut widens that gap. You will often need to price a touch below visible asks to take the cashout comfortably.
This finish shows wear plainly on the grip and slide faces; small float moves materially change the visual appeal. Buyers do pay up for a clean face because the dual-tone palette and Custom Paint Job details lose clarity with abrasion.
Souvenir copies trade like a different animal: their sticker packages and origin paint a separate narrative that collectors value more than playability. The stickers listed here lift demand, so a souvenir copy with high-profile tournament stickers will sit apart from regular examples when you sell.
Being from The Overpass 2024 Collection and the Budapest 2025 Overpass Souvenir Package lends situational demand tied to that map pack and event drop. Valve's designer credit and the Custom Paint Job finish give the skin a recognizable place on case lists, which helps keep a base level of interest.
The yearly arc has softened from earlier highs and shows a mild bleed, but recent short-term activity has ticked up. That fragile recovery makes timing listings useful: ride demand spikes rather than trying to force a sale during downdrafts.
List above the spread and trim into buyer offers instead of chasing the top listing; the thin-market profile punishes immediate undercuts. Use the live price block to target entries that respect the stepped ladder and preserve the clean-end premium where relevant.
Names like coldzera, shox, and jks are attached to this piece, and that association helps when buyers search by pro-linked gear. Those pro ties don't create mass liquidity, but they add clickable interest for collectors and fans hunting a specific look.
