Is it even possible to get real money for CS:GO skins?
With the recent reports of the CS:GO shenanigans summarized in this video by h3h3, one has to wonder how did we even get to this point?
I mean as far as I understand if you sell a skin or any other items on steam, the money goes to your steam wallet and you can only use it to buy games. I highly doubt anyone would bother to create a scam of such caliber so he could buy all the DLC for Train Simulator.
So there's got to be an easy way to translate steam money for real money but as someone who is not familiar with trading and CS:GO skins I don't understand how they do it.
Best Answer
Trading via the marketplace in Steam will put the money in your steam wallet. However, all money that circulates in Steam was introduced somehow, mainly by people "topping up" their Steam wallet from their creditcard or bank account.
However, no-one forces you to sell skins via the marketplace. One can simply conduct regular trades between two accounts, and transfer the money separately. This usually happens with a trusted third party, who will hold onto the items until it has been confirmed that the funds have been transferred.
Note: I do not recommend using such services. It is easy to get scammed for either your Steam inventory or your real life money, and no real way to proof that it has happened.

Answer 2
You can use a service just like OPSKINS, it works like the Steam Community Market, you sell something and they get a % off it's value but, here, you can cash out via Paypal, Bitcoin and Bank Transfer (not sure about this last one).
The problem with this kind of sites is that prices are lower (way lower) than in the Steam Community Market.
PS: there's more sites like this one mentioned but that's the one I used to use for selling my skins and it worked.
