Part 1
Simple Features for Casual Players
If you play CS or other Steam games and just want to understand your items better, start here.
01 See float and item prices instantly
First of all, every CS skin has a float value, which represents a number between 0.00 and 1.00 that defines how worn the skin looks. In simple terms:
Float
What it means
0.00 – 0.07
Factory New
0.07 – 0.15
Minimal Wear
0.15 – 0.38
Field-Tested
0.38 – 0.45
Well-Worn
0.45 – 1.00
Battle-Scarred
The lower the float, the cleaner and more expensive the item is. Two identical skins can look the same but cost very differently based solely on the float value. That’s why float checking is one of the most important features in SIH.
SIH adds extra info directly to Steam item pages. If you have the SIH extension enabled in your browser, then you don’t need to click anywhere else to see it.
Here is what you get:
1
Float value of an item
2
Applied stickers and their prices
3
Restrictions on trading
4
Prices on global markets
5
Price changes and comparisons
6
What type of case an item might be obtained from
7
Additional offers
8
Liquidity of an item
How to use:
Just open any item in your inventory or on the market and you'll see all the info right away. That's it, no trading knowledge required.

1

F.A.Q.
You're sending too many requests (often from mass float loading). Wait 5–10 mins and continue. If it doesn't help, try using a Proxy/VPN and a different account.
Disable VPN, Proxy, or conflicting browser extensions and reload the page.
Use Steam account recovery or your Steam R code to quickly restore access.
