Okay, here’s my blog post about diving into the value of PUBG PCS3 outfits, based on my experience.
My Deep Dive into PUBG PCS3 Outfit Values
Alright, so I got super into PUBG a while back, and like many others, I became a bit obsessed with collecting outfits. The PCS3 stuff? Man, I went all-in. I figured, why not track what I was spending and see if these digital clothes hold any value, you know? It started as a simple curiosity thing, but it turned into a full-blown project.
First thing I did was just start writing down everything. I mean everything. Which crates I opened, how many BP (Battle Points) I used, what I got (or didn’t get), and how much real money I spent buying G-Coin. I used a simple spreadsheet at first – just date, item, cost, and any notes. Pretty basic.
Then, I began to notice patterns. Some crates seemed to drop certain items more often than others. And some of the PCS3 outfits were definitely rarer than others. This is where I started to think about the market value.
- Checking the Market: There’s no official PUBG marketplace, so I had to look at third-party sites. I mostly hung around a couple of community forums and Discord servers where people traded or sold accounts with specific skins.
- Figuring out Rarity: Some outfits were plastered all over the place, because everyone had them. Those were clearly less valuable. But the rarer ones? The ones I almost never saw in-game? Those were a different story.
- Comparing Prices: I’d check what people were asking for accounts that had those specific rare PCS3 outfits. This was tricky. Prices varied wildly depending on the seller, the overall account level, and a bunch of other stuff.
Hardest part? Figuring out the “value” of luck. Like, I might spend $50 and get nothing. Someone else might spend $5 and get the jackpot. How do you factor that into the equation? I ended up calculating an average cost per item based on my overall spending and the number of items I received. Not perfect, but it gave me a ballpark figure.
What I learned in the end? Most of the PCS3 outfits are not an investment. The super common ones? Worth practically nothing. The rarer ones might hold some value, but it’s all so subjective. And even then, trying to sell an account is a hassle and can be against the game’s terms of service, so its a risk!
So, was it worth it? Not financially, probably not. But I got a kick out of tracking everything and figuring out the dynamics of the PUBG skin economy. It was a fun little project, and now I know way more about crate odds and digital item values than I ever thought I would. Plus, I got some cool outfits along the way!
My advice? If you’re gonna chase those PCS3 outfits (or any skins), do it because you enjoy it, not because you think you’ll make money. Treat it like entertainment, and only spend what you’re comfortable losing. Happy gaming!
