Knife and glove trade-ups
5 Covert skins in. Output: a knife or glove.
This tier takes 5 Covert skins, not 10. The output is one knife or glove from the cases those Coverts belong to.
Three Coverts from Dreams & Nightmares and two from Kilowatt means 60% of the draw is a Dreams & Nightmares knife or glove and 40% is a Kilowatt knife or glove, then split across the finishes in each case.
One expensive finish can carry the average. Read the share of outcomes above cost next to expected P/L before you buy the inputs.
Output prices come from sales near the computed float, so two trade-ups with the same finishes can differ when the floats differ.
953,491 active trade-ups, 73,625 with positive expected profit after fees. The table is this tier only, above $1 expected P/L, listings still active.
Cost includes buyer fees: CSFloat 2.8% + $0.30, DMarket 2.5%, Skinport 0%, Buff 3.5% + $0.15. Outcome prices are after CSFloat's 2% seller fee. Prices refresh continuously. Check each listing before you buy.

No. TradeUpBot prices knife and glove outputs from sales near the computed float. Two trade-ups with the same finishes can show different expected P/L when the input floats differ.
