CS:GO 'Dragon Lore' AWP skin sells for more than $61,000

Cloud9 became the first North American team to win a CS:GO major over the
weekend, defeating the favored FaZe Clan in tight overtime action. The
following day, a very different sort of eye-popping mark was set when a
Dragon Lore CS:GO weapon skin sold for more than $61,000.
Dragon Lore ranks highly among the most expensive CS:GO skins to begin with,
but this one was particularly valuable for a couple of reasons. First, it's a
souvenir skin, which are available exclusively from souvenir packages that
only drop during Valve-sponsored CS:GO tournaments. Dragon Lore is actually
the rarest skin in the Cobblestone Packages, which currently sell for a
little north of $30 each on the Steam Marketplace.
This particular skin is also "factory new," and its stickers are all
"unscratched," each of which compounds its rarity even further. And the
timely pièce de résistance is that it bears the autograph of Tyler “
Skadoodle” Latham, the MVP of the ELEAGUE Boston Major 2018 where Cloud9
made its mark.
The skin was originally purchased for $35,000 by a collector named Drone, who
told Polygon that the selling price, despite being so much higher than what
he paid (which seems absolutely nuts to begin with), was as low as he was
willing to go. "I didn’t originally get into this game solely for profit,"
he said. "I just got very lucky a couple of times, and money is more valuable
to different people. I’m very lucky in my financial state to where I can
afford to buy these skins and it does not affect me."

而在比赛期间会掉战队的纪念战利品，其中就有这些 Skin。
而在比赛后没多久， Cloud9中的 Tyler “Skadoodle” Latham 的签名纪念 Skin ，为
Dragon Lore 这把武器，在交易网站以 61,000 美金卖出。Skadoodle 也是本次的MVP。
这个Skin的卖家原本是以 35,000 美金入手的，现在以 61,000美金卖出呢！
CSGO真不亏是理财游戏。
