You can check your items wear value by hovering over the "i" icon located at the bottom of your screen when you inspect the item. The lower the float value of your item is, the more pristine it will appear in game, with less scratches taking away from the artwork on your weapon. Generally, the lower the float value, the more expansive your CS2 item will be, with some collectors overpaying hundreds of thousands of dollars for very low float & high float items.

Preparation Before Selling
When it comes to selling your CSGO items DO NOT SELL THEM ON THE STEAM COMMUNITY MARKET. Not only can you not withdraw your Steam Wallet Funds but also the fees on the Steam Community are extremely high. It is important to research the real value of your item before dumping it onto the Steam Market, especially if it may be an item worth a lot of money. There is a fantastic website called Pricempire that shows users a vast array of the prices of items across many different marketplaces.
