Do I need an account to use ProjectCheap?

No. There are no accounts, no signup and nothing to install. It is free to use, and every price links straight to the marketplace where you actually buy or sell.

How do I find the cheapest place to buy a Rust skin?

Search the skin, or open Best Deals, and ProjectCheap shows its lowest current price across every marketplace it tracks, next to all the others, with a click-through to buy.

How do I find the best place to sell my Rust skins?

Open Instant-Sell My Inventory and paste your Steam trade URL - it lists the best instant-sell payout for every item you own. Where to Sell is a shorter version that gives one clear answer per item.

Can I find Rust skins to flip for profit?

Yes. Profitable Instant Flips lists skins you can buy on one marketplace and immediately instant-sell on another for more than you paid, ranked by profit - no listing, no waiting for a buyer.

How up to date are the prices?

They refresh automatically in the background. They can still lag a live listing, so confirm the final price on the marketplace before you buy.

Which marketplaces does ProjectCheap cover?

31 buy-side marketplaces and 19 instant-sell sources, compared side by side, with a fee, payout-method and payment breakdown for each.

Skin description AI

Case hardened iridescent metal

A salvaged sword featuring a brilliant, case-hardened metal finish on the blade. Shimmering gradients of royal blue, violet, and golden yellow cover the polished steel.

More about this skin's design

The Tempered Sword applies a premium heat-treated finish to the crude, makeshift melee weapon. The heavy, flat steel blade is entirely coated in a highly reflective, iridescent patina characteristic of torch-tempered steel. The colors transition smoothly along the cutting edge, creating a vibrant, mottled pattern of intense cobalt blue, deep magenta, royal purple, and fiery amber-gold. The glossy, polished finish catches ambient light beautifully, while the handle remains wrapped in practical dark tape. The weapon replaces rusted scrap with a luxurious, colorful metallic display.

Fun facts AI · speculation

The bright, reflective rainbow colors make this sword a highly visible and flashy weapon during close-quarters combat.
