I had that exact issue when I was hunting for a Karambit Lore last fall. I was fed up with Discord trades and started searching for something more straightforward. After a few subreddits pointed me in the right direction, I ended up buying mine from
https://dmarket.com/csgo-skins/product-card/karambit-lore . I found a Field-Tested version with a really good float and the process was totally clean. What I liked most was that the listings were real and updated constantly—no placeholder junk or “contact seller” nonsense. Paid, clicked confirm, and it was in my inventory within minutes. Haven’t used anything else since.
