Smart thinking from both of you! When I started buying skins, I made some bad choices because I didn't understand the basics. What helped me was learning about different skin types and prices before spending money. I found good information at https://dmarket.com/cs2-wiki/ that explains how skins work and what to look for. My advice is buy popular weapon skins first like AK or AWP since you'll use them most. Check the condition and float value before buying. Don't rush into expensive items until you understand what makes skins valuable
