I’ve been grinding Rust and Dota 2 for years, but lately, I’ve been moving more towards single-player games. My inventory is worth a decent chunk of change—maybe $800 or so—but Steam credit is useless to me since I want to buy a physical guitar. I’ve tried listing things on the Steam Market, but having $800 stuck in my Valve wallet doesn’t help me buy a Fender! Has anyone here actually managed to move their items for real-world currency recently? I’m looking for something that supports various withdrawal methods, maybe PayPal or even Visa/Mastercard directly. I’ve heard some sites are sketchy with hidden fees, so please only suggest things you’ve actually used yourself.

Congrats on the guitar move! Nothing beats the feeling of real strings over a mouse and keyboard. I actually did the same thing with my Dota arcana collection a while back. I spent a few hours researching and ended up using https://avan.market/ for the bulk of it. The UI is super clean, which I appreciate because some of these trading sites look like they were designed in 2005. They support Rust, CS2, and Dota 2, so you can liquidate everything in one go. I was surprised they offered direct card withdrawals because that’s usually hard to find. The price they offer is a bit lower than the Steam “suggested” price, but you have to remember Steam takes a 15% cut anyway and keeps the money on the platform. Here, you get the cash in the real world. Totally worth the trade-off for the convenience.

That sounds perfect, I didn’t realize they did direct card transfers, thanks for the tip!
