A budget-grade shotgun that lives in a thin market and pays out very differently depending on wear. The souvenir tag and extreme FN premium make pristine pieces the only ones that reliably move, while most copies trade at a weak floor and sit with little demand.

This XM1014 sits squarely in the budget bracket and behaves like one: plenty of listings, few committed buyers. The souvenir status and the designer name give it some niche appeal, but expect sales to clear slowly unless the copy is a top wear.
The payout curve is steep from the clean end and then steps down across lower wears rather than sliding smoothly. Cleans are on a separate tier and the rest fall into a stepped band, reflecting a strong FN premium and a more compressed lower-tier spread.
Because the market is thin, the gap between listed price and what actually lands in your account is wide and uneven. Buyers rarely chase budget souvies aggressively, so expect some slippage from sticker price; listings show ambition, trades show reality.
Top-wear copies command a disproportionate payout, trading at multiples above the mid and lower wears. The extreme FN premium label concentrates value at the head of the ladder, turning one clean copy into the only viable quick-sale asset.
Float runs the full gamut on this skin, so you can find everything from near-pristine to beat-to-death copies in the case. That makes float discipline essential: two visually similar guns can sit in different payout tiers purely by float.
Pattern index does not move price here, so buyers ignore seed noise and price strictly by wear and souvenir status. That simplifies valuation: pick the float and condition, and you know what band you sit in.
Being from The Anubis Collection and packaged in the Anubis Collection Package gives it modest collector interest tied to the case lineage. The gray palette and the designer ダイショウング make it recognizable to traders who follow that collection.
The all-time band for this comp has been massive, with listings that once stretched far apart. Current activity sits somewhere inside that band but still shows a wide dispersion between top cleans and the weak floor.
Sellers often list at mid-tier ambition while the market is only buying top-wear, and they forget to mark the souvenir variant properly. Ignore pattern noise, check float rigorously, and avoid pricing as if liquidity were tight.
This gray, hieroglyphic canvas takes pro and event stickers well; the Paris event decals and team sticks read clean against the muted palette. A well-crafted sticker layout with a single centered pro or event can lift the perceived value and help reach the clean-end bidders.
