As a long-time CSGO player and trader, I can tell you that CSGO keys currently cost $2.49 when purchased directly from the in-game store. However, the actual market price can vary significantly depending on where you buy them.

On the Steam Community Market, keys typically trade for slightly higher than the store price, usually between $2.60-$2.80. This price fluctuation occurs because some players can't purchase keys directly from the store due to regional restrictions or trading limitations.

When buying from third-party marketplaces, you can often find keys for $1.80-$2.20, which is cheaper than the official store price. However, I strongly recommend only using reputable third-party sites to avoid scams, as key trading is a common target for fraudulent activities.

It's important to note that Valve made keys purchased after October 28, 2019, untradeable and unmarketable. This means new keys can only be used to open cases within the account that purchased them. Only keys obtained before this date can still be traded between players.

For the most reliable option, I recommend purchasing keys directly from the CSGO in-game store at $2.49 if you plan to open cases. If you're looking to trade, you'll need to find pre-2019 keys through the Steam Market or trusted third-party sites, but be prepared to pay varying prices based on market demand.

The bottom line: Official CSGO keys cost $2.49 in-store, but market prices can range from $1.80 to $2.80 depending on where you buy them and whether they're tradeable (pre-October 2019) or not.
