What Skintick holds for SkinBaron

SkinBaron collection is paused, so no new prices are arriving. What follows describes the rows already stored.

Prices are the lowest ask — the cheapest listing you could actually buy — as decimal strings in USD, never floats. Every row carries collected_at, source_updated_at, staleness_seconds, is_stale, is_outlier and a confidence tier — so SkinBaron prices are safe to combine with the other 16 sources without one bad row poisoning your pricing logic.

SkinBaron is one of the largest German/EU CS2 marketplaces. Skintick covers the range with real cross-market liquidity, priced in USD.

SkinBaron item naming differs from Steam's canonical form, so Skintick maps names carefully and omits anything it cannot match with confidence. Coverage is deliberately narrower than their raw catalogue; correctness wins.

SkinBaron compared to other markets we track

Fees and trade locks decide whether a headline price is actually the better deal. Skintick returns these through /v1/markets for every marketplace it currently tracks, so your spread math can account for them — SkinBaron itself is not among them.
