SSG 08 | Prey is a Consumer Grade scout page with high 74% liquidity, a simple three-row standard ladder, and a Souvenir branch that stays below regular in every live wear. Regular Factory New pays $0.55, while Souvenir Field-Tested drops to $0.05, so this market is priced by base branch and wear order first.
SSG 08 | Prey is a Consumer Grade scout page with high 74% liquidity, a simple three-row standard ladder, and a Souvenir branch that stays below regular in every live wear. Regular Factory New pays $0.55, while Souvenir Field-Tested drops to $0.05, so this market is priced by base branch and wear order first.
Prey is a low-ticket scout skin, so the market does not hide its logic. Regular copies carry the real pricing, wear steps down in the expected order, and Souvenir status does not rescue the weaker branch. If cash value is the goal, you start with branch, then lock the exact live wear row.
Liquidity sits at High 74%, with 76% popularity. That is enough activity for the page to stay usable instead of drifting into dead-price territory. Even though the numbers are small, the board has structure, and the regular-versus-souvenir split is clear rather than noisy.
Regular ask is $0.83, $0.43, and $0.34 from Factory New through Field-Tested, with payout at $0.55, $0.29, and $0.18. Souvenir ask is $0.35, $0.20, and $0.98, with payout at $0.14, $0.07, and $0.05 across those same three rows.
Regular Factory New pays $0.55, ahead of $0.29 in Minimal Wear and $0.18 in Field-Tested. Nothing tricky here. The cleanest live row gives the best regular cash-out, so standard Prey follows the wear logic most traders expect from a basic scout page.
On the regular side, payout falls from $0.55 to $0.29, then to $0.18. That is a clean downward staircase without any mid-row surprise. If you are quoting a standard copy quickly, wear alone gets you most of the way to the right number.
StatTrak is unavailable and Souvenir is available, yet the souvenir branch is weaker in every live condition. This page does not behave like a collectible souvenir premium story. The value sits in the regular branch, and the souvenir tag works more like a discount lane here.
Regular Factory New pays $0.55 against $0.14 souvenir, regular Minimal Wear pays $0.29 against $0.07 souvenir, and regular Field-Tested pays $0.18 against $0.05 souvenir. No shared row gives the souvenir copy an edge, so branch selection matters immediately.
The true float range runs from 0.00 to 0.48. Live pricing stops at Field-Tested, so this market never reaches deeper-wear logic. That keeps attention on the cleaner rows and helps the regular ladder stay simple, even with a cheaper skin and small dollar values.
Prey uses a Spray-Paint finish with catalog 935 and a gray palette. On a page at this price level, the finish is not creating a complicated premium map. Buyers are mostly paying for branch and row, while the visual identity stays straightforward and easy to slot into low-cost inventories.
Pattern variants are marked Yes, but the live board is not being driven by seed talk. Regular-versus-souvenir and the clean wear ladder explain the market well enough on their own. On this skin, pattern is background detail, not the first lever moving cash value.
Recent momentum is weak, with a 30-day move of -52.0%. That is a sharp reset for a skin this cheap. When a page drops that hard in a short window, current live offers matter more than any stale memory of where it used to sit.
One year change sits at 20.0%, with an all-time high of $2.55 and an all-time low of $0.03. So the short-term chart has sold off hard, but the broader range is still net positive. That gives the page a wider historical band than the current payout suggests.
For this page, the biggest mistake is confusing regular with souvenir. A regular Field-Tested pays $0.18, while a souvenir Field-Tested pays $0.05. Wear still matters, but the branch difference is bigger than any fine distinction inside one side of the ladder.
Buyer ask tells the same story. Regular copies sit at $0.83, $0.43, and $0.34, while souvenir asks are $0.35, $0.20, and $0.98. Even where the ask side looks uneven, the payout side still makes the stronger branch obvious once you compare like with like.
The page carries a 4.8 rating from 1400 votes, and pro names tied to it include FalleN, olofmeister, and tarik. That is solid attention for a Consumer Grade scout skin. It helps explain why liquidity stays respectable despite the very low payout numbers.
Recommended stickers start at $0.01, move to $0.03 and $0.10, then jump as high as $3.59 and $5.02. On a skin whose regular payout tops out at $0.55, craft cost can exceed the underlying item almost immediately. That changes how sensible sticker investment looks here.
