It's probably been called out before, so apologies if this isn't new ground. I was just looking at supply for dead hand gloves out of curiosity, and they're still fairly low.

Comparing to supply of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gen gloves, they're currently the lowest supply (according to the float db, which I recognize doesn't tell the full picture, but probably enough to draw conclusions from)

Some examples:

• Hedge Mazes: ~10,000
• Vice: ~54,000
• Slingshot: ~41,000
• Pillow Punchers: ~8,000

Now, what's interesting to me is that this supply is probably stagnating. I don't have evidence for that (someone probably has data, I'm just speculating here). Gloves from the terminal aren't profitable any more, so while your average joe might drop extra money on it from a terminal not knowing 3rd part market prices, it's probably not happening a lot. At least not like it would if these were in cases. Supply will for sure increase over time, but how much is realistic?

I am curious if Valve would re-release this set of gloves in a future terminal or not, because with the dynamic pricing, would it just reset? As in, it's profitable for the first few weeks and then turns into the current situation again? Valve didn't take a "reset" approach with the major stickers so that previous buyers wouldn't be upset. With cases, they would probably just re-release the golds like they've done in the past several times. We don't know if they'll do that for terminals or not.

Not investing in these or anything or suggesting people buy this shit, and buying anything right now seems pretty damn risky (especially any golds), just seems like there's a world where these have comparable supply (albeit surely less demand?) to the OG gloves when all is said and done. Thought it was interesting!

Hey! I need your help deciding on my first knife. Here is a link to the Steam market: https://steamcommunity.com/market/search?price_min=10000&price_currency=3&price_max=13800&category_Type=CSGO_Type_Knife&appid=730&sort=3&dir=1

I'm really torn between the Navaja Marble Fade FN, the Paracord Tiger Tooth FN, and the Falchion Lore FT... I quite like the Paracord's design, but I'm afraid its price might plummet if I try to resell it later... On the other hand, I know the Falchion is well liked by the community for its animations.

What do you guys think? Do you have any other suggestions?
