Tradeit.gg price alerts: track underpriced skins and price-check every unit

The value of a scanner on a given market is decided entirely by what that market is willing to tell you about an item before you click. Tradeit.gg is unusually forthcoming. For each unit CSWatcher reads the cash price, the float value, the paint seed, the Doppler phase where one applies, the applied stickers and an inspect link.

That field set means most of CSWatcher's rule types fire natively on Tradeit.gg rather than degrading to guesswork:

• Price and deal-percentage rules work, because a real cash price is published per unit.
• Float rules work, and they work well. Tradeit.gg float is exposed per unit, and narrowing a float band is pushed to the server rather than filtered after the fact on your machine. That distinction matters more than it sounds: server-side narrowing means what comes back already satisfies your float window, instead of arriving as pages of items you will immediately discard. You get a denser answer to a sharper question, which is the difference between a rule you trust and a feed you learn to ignore.
• Paint seed rules work. Tradeit.gg paint seed is published, so pattern hunting — blue-heavy Case Hardened, low-tier fades, specific Marble Fade patterns — is a first-class filter here, not a manual check you perform after opening the listing.
• Doppler phase rules work, because the phase is published rather than inferred from a pattern index lookup.
• Sticker rules work, and this is the market's standout property. Tradeit.gg is the only market CSWatcher reads where filtering by applied stickers is pushed to the server side — something even CSBoard does not offer. Everywhere else, sticker-craft hunting means pulling listings and inspecting them locally, which eats your request allowance fast. Here you can ask the market itself for the crafts and get back a far denser result set.
• Inspect-link-dependent checks work, since an inspect link ships with each unit.

What does not fire here is anything that requires a write, an account state or a competing-offer view: no bid or bargain rules, no fee-adjusted net-proceeds rules for selling, no undercut logic, no fill tracking. Those are functions of a market CSWatcher can act on, and Tradeit.gg is not one.

One structural point deserves its own paragraph, because it changes how you should read every alert from this market. Tradeit.gg sells from its own bot inventory rather than hosting individual sellers. Many tools treat a bot inventory as a price feed and quote you a per-skin average. CSWatcher does not. It reads that inventory unit by unit — every individual unit the site holds is scored on its own float, its own seed, its own stickers. An average would hide exactly the item you are hunting: a 0.0012 Factory New sitting at the same headline price as the 0.068 next to it, or the one unit in a stack of forty that happens to carry a craft worth more than the skin.

CSWatcher is a well-behaved client on Tradeit.gg. It does not attempt to outrun a market's tolerance, and the restraint is enforced on CSWatcher's side rather than being a limit discovered by running into one — which is a distinction worth making, because the two look identical from the outside right up until the moment a lane goes dark. No amount of adding filters will make the engine lean harder on the site; it manages that for you and there is nothing to configure.

Link precision on Tradeit.gg is item-level. When an alert fires, the link takes you to that specific unit — not to a search page you then have to re-filter, and not to a generic skin page where the item you were shown may already be three rows down. This is the difference between an alert you can act on in ten seconds and one that starts a scavenger hunt.

The practical variable you control, then, is how tightly you filter — and on this market that variable is unusually powerful. A narrow float window plus a sticker constraint asks no more of the market than a wide-open query does, because both constraints are evaluated on Tradeit's side rather than yours, but what comes back has vastly higher signal. Tight filters here are not merely tidier. They are the whole technique.

Worth spelling out what that unlocks, because no other market CSWatcher reads offers this combination. You can ask Tradeit.gg for a single skin, in a float band you specify, carrying a named sticker, and have all three conditions resolved before anything reaches you. On every other alert-only lane, at least one of those constraints has to be applied after the fact, which means pulling listings you do not want in order to find the ones you do. Craft-hunting in particular — the four-sticker combinations where the application is worth more than the gun — is a job most scanners simply cannot do efficiently, and this is the one lane where you can point a rule directly at it and expect a sane answer.

Surface support: this lane is read through the free CSWatcher Bridge extension, so the request leaves from your own browser rather than from one address shared by every customer. CSWatcher holds no Tradeit.gg account and no credential — everything it reads is the public store view, and the purchase, when you make one, happens in your own session under Tradeit's own terms.

CSWatcher uses one yardstick for everything. Every listing on every market — Tradeit.gg included — is scored against CSFloat's Final price for that item. There is no separate baseline per market and no per-market fudge factor. The consequence is that a deal percentage means the same thing wherever the listing lives: a 14% figure on Tradeit.gg and a 14% figure on CSFloat are the same claim about the same reference price, so you can rank alerts from different markets against each other in one list without mentally converting between scales. For a fuller treatment of how the markets differ on liquidity, fees and delivery, see the dedicated Tradeit.gg vs CSFloat comparison page.

The cash price is not the trade value. Tradeit.gg runs a skins-for-skins trading side alongside its cash sales, and the trade-side valuation of an item sits meaningfully above the cash price for the same unit. CSWatcher reads and scores the cash price only. Do not read one number as if it were the other, and do not expect the cash figure CSWatcher shows to match what you see quoted inside a trade flow — they are different prices for different transactions, and treating them as interchangeable will make deals look better or worse than they are.

New stock is discovered by polling, not pushed. Tradeit.gg has no new-listing feed and no working newest-first sort. There is no stream CSWatcher can subscribe to and no ordering trick that reliably surfaces fresh inventory first. CSWatcher therefore finds new units by looking, repeatedly, on its own schedule. In practice that means detection is bounded by what looking can achieve: a unit that appears and is bought by someone else within seconds may never be seen by anyone watching from outside. Anyone who tells you they get instant new-listing detection on this market is describing something the market does not provide, to anybody, at any price — and that is a useful test to apply to every tool that quotes Tradeit numbers at you, not just this one.

Armed or not, it is your account. When CSWatcher tells you about a Tradeit.gg unit and Auto-Buy is not armed, the purchase is yours to make, in your own browser, under Tradeit.gg's own terms. When it is armed, the purchase is sent by that same browser, from your own session — CSWatcher holds no credentials for this market.

Desktop only, as above. Enabling Tradeit.gg requires the desktop app.

Tradeit.gg scans and alerts on Spectator, the free plan, like every marketplace CSWatcher reads. A Sniper pass is what lets CSWatcher buy on Tradeit.gg for you — through your own signed-in session, at the 2-second Turbo cadence this lane allows.

Every market ships switched OFF. A fresh CSWatcher install makes zero requests to Tradeit.gg, or to any other market, until you explicitly enable it. Nothing is scanned by default, nothing runs in the background on your behalf, and turning a market off stops its traffic entirely. That default exists so the software never touches a third party's infrastructure without a deliberate decision from you.
