[Da_Jinks]

Weapons have rarity attached to them, like in Dota, but it seems to be ignored by most of the community.
Weapons also have wear on them, ranging from Factory New - Battle-Scarred, which will sometimes drop the price (see: market).
Also, the knives are like unusuals and still sell for upwards of $300.
There is almost no active trading scene, and if there is, it's very well hidden.

Alright, so do I get these things from drops or these crates I've seen? Is uncrating lucrative?

Both, and it still costs as much money as ever.

Assisted a trader in selling one for well over $500, in the same condition. I cannot tell you where the knife came from as I do not play the game (Yet), but I do suspect it is from one of the weapon cases. Which case, is beyond me, either it must be a really lucky opening on one that grants that 1% chance of "an exceedingly rare item".

So TF2 has Crates, DOTA 2 has Treasure Chests and CS:GO has Weapon Cases.
