Is buying CS skins worth it?

No of course. Valve has broken the trade system in CS:GO, so trading is dead now.

I've never bought anything online for shear purpose of looking good, one skin that I bought was butterfly knife and it was more an investment than a showoff

You want to flex in front of kids? Then yes. You want to get that satisfying feeling of owning some nice skins? Too bad. I would suggest you not to buy skins.

I don't know, but skins are too beautiful :D you must buy some at least

I've got to have spent about ~$4000 on csgo skins over my entire time playing the game, and I regret it every day.

honestly if you like comestics like i do it think its pretty worth it

Only if you buy it in the internet. The Steam Skin store is a truly scam

only if 1. it looks supper supper cool or 2. you think youll be able to make profits

Dude, don't buy skins, it's just a waste of money for a visual threat.

Definitely not.
But I bought a few skins back then, which I thought were the most beautiful of the existing ones and now I keep them for ever
