I wouldn’t spend money on skins in most games but Counter Strike is different. You can buy a skin, use it for years, and then sell it for more than you paid. In fact, skins are actually a very good investment that have historically had less volatility and better returns than stock indexes like the S&P 500.

    These skins have 15% returns? That seems dubious but it could be. I don't think you can sink $300k into skins like you can vanguard, though.

    There are skins worth millions, so definitely you can.
