Sold [Q] Trade-Up vs. Buying: Hunting Low Float Tuxedo and Meteorite Skins

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to craft some low float mil-spec skins from the Bank Collection—specifically the CZ75-Auto Tuxedo, Galil AR Tuxedo, and Desert Eagle Meteorite. I’ve got a rough idea of how to approach this but could use some advice from people who’ve done this before.

Here’s my current plan:

1. Trade-Up Contracts
   • I’m thinking about buying industrial-grade skins (with low floats) off the Steam Market and 3rd-party sites and using trade-ups to get the mil-specs I want.
   • The problem is finding affordable industrials with decent floats since the Bank Collection isn’t exactly new.
2. Buying Them Directly
   • Another option is to skip the trade-up gamble entirely and just buy the low float mil-specs outright from a marketplace.

So here’s where I’m stuck:

• Is it worth going the trade-up route for these specific skins, or would I just end up spending more than if I bought them outright?
• Are there any particular industrial skins I should focus on for trade-ups to make this more efficient?
• Any tips for hunting down low-float industrial-grade skins without getting ripped off?

I love the idea of pulling these off with a trade-up (the satisfaction is real), but I also don’t want to sink a ton of money into something that’s not worth it. Would love to hear what you all think or if anyone’s done something similar!

Thanks!
