M4A4 | Howl with four iBUYPOWER stickers sold for $215,000, another record deal before CS2
2023-04-27 14:03:00ECSTATIC co-owner and a known middleman in the skin-trading market, Oliver "ZipeL" Behrensdorff, confirmed the sale of an M4A4 | Howl. The rifle had four iBUYPOWER stickers and went out for $250,000 as a result of an auction. ZipeL shared it on Twitter.
ZipeL thinks the sale was cheap, although it is considered to be the most money made from this type of rifle. M4A4 | Howl has the Contraband type of rarity, as Valve has stopped producing those skins after a copyright violation. A similar thing is with iBP stickers. Since the team was banned for match-fixing, their stickers skyrocketed on the market.
CS2 announcement seemingly boosted the skin-trading activity. Another record-breaking deal recently happened with ZipeL's assistance. AK-47 | Case Hardened with four Titan logos was sold for $400,000. However, the middleman claims that the most expensive item is a Karambit knife, and its owner was offered €1.2 mln, but he refused to sell it.
