What people say

Once a great international market - now irrelevant for anyone outside China.

I used to love Buff163, because it was the largest CS:GO skins market available, and it was accessible to everyone! A few months ago they it impossible to sell items without having a Chinese bank account (which you obviously need to be a Chinese citizen to have). This effectively made the site useless for anyone outside China. Having the site be accessible only by Chinese citizens, makes it more complicated to trade and buy skins. I now use two different sites for the best deals (which is complicated and slow due to 7 day trade holds), whereas Buff163 was one, large market, making it simple for the end user. Hopefully buff will come back to its former glory at some point.

Used to be a legend

Used to be a legend. Since they stopped accomodating non-Chinese users, no option to sell, support literally kidding the users, nothing they would be willing to do for the Customer at all. As of now (and for the forecoming years, most likely) is buff.163.com a dead site.

Data mining site

Buff is owned by a chinese company. Which does mean they are required by law to share information about users with the CCP. Though that isn't my main issue with this, but rather its how they inconvenience you and their sellers by trying to force you to get their mobile app so they can gather information from your phone. If you make a purchase from Buff, you will be given two options: 1. Send the offer for the item to the seller (ONLY AVAILABLE FOR MOBILE APP USERS) 2. The seller has to send you the offer, creating more work for them. Untop of that, some sellers can have it set to automatically decline offers asking the seller to send the trade offer to the buyer. Something you can't know if the seller has on, without making the purchase. So if they decline, you have 5 minutes to download the app and send the offer, or the trade will be cancelled. Oh, and the icing on the cake is that if you "Make too many purchases where you don't go through with it, you'll get trade locked" So to summarize: -If you don't want your mobile data stolen, you have to take a gamble on purchasing an item, because you don't know if the seller is even willing to send it to you. If they decline, you can get penalized for it when the site isn't being transparent with you so that you can prevent causing the thing that you'll be penalized for? What?! Its at a point where i don't bother, because if i add money to buy a skin i see, i can't know if i'll even be allowed to buy it. Because sorry, i have a hard time thinking that my PC with the processing power x10 that of a damn phone, is unable to process sending a trade offer to someone. You want me to get the app to leech information from the phone, because on PC there's many safety precautions someone can take or that are locked per default so that they get no info out of you. They want your data, there's no other excuse. Buff is large but that's in due to quantity in items for sale, and the chinese peoples' willingness to always be the lowest price to make a sale. They are willing to race to the bottom until there's no margins left in the sale for them, so long as they get the sale. Buff is certainly not large due to their "quality" Because that part of it is about on-par with Temu and Wish garbage.
