Where can you get M4A4 skins?

As with any CSGO skins, there are various ways of obtaining M4A4 skins. For example, you may drop them through the normal game as a part of the weekly drop. However, this is time-consuming and won’t give you any rare and expensive skins. Another way to obtain M4A4 skins is to uncase them from the collection cases. You will have to have both the case and the key for that particular case and you still won’t have any assurance that you’ll drop one of the M4A4 CSGO skins you wanted. However, in case you do, the initial cost of both case and key will be very low.

If you wish to try your luck, we advise you to go for Prisma Cases. They are quite affordable (around $0,60 at the time in which this article is written) and the M4A4 | Emperor that comes from it will give you a good amount when sold. Of course, if you don’t want to try your luck, you can always buy the M4A4 skins directly from Community Market or one of the third-party websites.

Buying and selling M4A4 skins

If you want to sell your M4A4 Skins you can do this either on Steam Community Market, on third-party markets or through mass deposit service such as Skinwallet. Each of these options has naturally its own pros and cons. While the prices on the Steam Community  Market are the highest, all money you earn that way lands in the SteamWallet of your account. This means you cannot pay it out in any way. Third-party market websites offer lower prices but the cash is available outside the Steam ecosystem. A problematic part is a huge number of frauds.

Skinwallet is the best choice if you need to sell a big number of skins and instantly pay your cash out to Paypal. To sell M4A4 Skins on Skinwallet, you have to set your Steam inventory to public, log in to Skinwallet with your Steam account and fill in your Trade URL (a guide how to find it is available here) and go to the deposit.

You have two options when buying M4A4 skins. First is the Steam Community Market which is one of the safest but not very efficient ways. Please remember that the prices on the Steam Community Market are usually 10%-20% higher than on other third-party markets. As a buyer, you will have to also pay the transaction fee, so it’s an extra 15% on top of an already high price.

The second option is to go to one of the third-party markets and look for an interesting CSGO M4A4 skins listings. Even though the prices are usually much lower, they tend to be less secure. Fortunately, Skinwallet Market prioritizes user safety, so that you can buy M4A4 skins and others with a clear safety procedure and ease!

Why are M4A4 skins so popular?

If we think about the popularity of M4A4 CSGO skins, for example, about those we discussed in this blog post, it seems that M4A4 skins popularity is closely related to three things.

First, the rarity and the price tag that goes with it. The rarer the skin is, the higher it’s potential value is, and the higher the craving for these skins will be. However, this reason can be applied to almost all skins available on the market. Secondly, M4A4 skins are popular because M4A4 is a popular choice of weapon in itself. Therefore, if you have to look at a weapon for the better part of the match, you may want it to look amazing. Plus, having a rare skin on a very popular gun makes it easier to show off, right?

Lastly, for some people, it is not the price, nor it is the rarity that dictates the need for M4A4 skins, but aesthetics. Many people just like particular skins and don’t want anything to do with other certain CSGO M4A4 skins, ignoring price and popularity. They do not look for the best M4A4 skins. They want the prettiest M4A4 skins. In the end, everyone can make their own choice and express themselves with weapon skins. After all, this is one of the basics standing behind the CSGO skins philosophy.
