Mannco.store is a bot-based third-party marketplace that specializes in buying and selling Steam items, including Counter-Strike 2 (CS2), DOTA 2, Team Fortress 2, and Rust skins. Founded on March 2nd, 2018, by an anonymous team with headquarters in Nicosia, Cyprus, Mannco.store originally made its name trading TF2 items. Over time, it expanded its scope to accommodate other games, though TF2 remains a core part of its identity. Unlike peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms, Mannco.store requires sellers to deposit their skins to the site’s Steam bot inventory, guaranteeing instant delivery to buyers once they make a purchase.
Because Mannco.store relies on a traditional bot-based model, sellers must transfer skins to Mannco.store’s bots before listing them. While this streamlines the buying process—purchased items are available immediately—the deposit step can be less convenient for sellers, who can’t list on multiple marketplaces simultaneously. Additionally, skins on trade hold still require the user to wait the lock period imposed by Steam before they can be retrieved or sold again.
Primary Focus: Initially a Team Fortress 2 marketplace, Mannco.store evolved to serve a broader range of Steam games.
Global Reach: Although it has a strong user base in North America and Europe, the site is accessible worldwide. The United States alone accounts for about 10% of its active users.
Traction Among TF2 Traders: It remains one of the largest TF2 item markets, though its CS2 inventory is comparatively smaller than those on more CS2-dedicated marketplaces.
Foundation in 2018: Launched with a primary focus on Team Fortress 2 items, Mannco.store gradually diversified to CS2, DOTA 2, and Rust.
Growth: Early struggles for prominence gradually subsided as Mannco.store earned a stable user base, thanks to its relatively low fees and user-friendly interface.
Expanding Inventory: Over time, the platform broadened its offerings to include gift cards and physical merchandise, emphasizing a more comprehensive marketplace experience.
Selling Fee: Mannco.store takes a 5% commission on each item sold, more affordable than Steam’s 15% but higher than certain alternatives (like BUFF163 at 2.5%).
Buyer Pricing: Items are often cheaper than on Steam Community Market due to lower commissions, but final costs vary by demand and trade-hold status.
Moderate Fees (5%): Considerably less than the official Steam Community Market’s 15%.
Instant Delivery: Buyers receive items immediately once payment is confirmed, thanks to the site’s bot-based system.
Multi-Game Support: Suitable for TF2, CS2, DOTA 2, and Rust traders under one platform.
User-Friendly Interface: Straightforward navigation benefits both newcomers and experienced traders.
Competitive Pricing: Items generally list below Steam’s often-inflated prices.
Higher Fees Than Some Competitors: BUFF163, for example, charges a 2.5% seller fee.
No Built-In Screenshot Feature: Users must open CS2 (or other game clients) for detailed skin inspections.
Less Liquidity for CS2: Mannco.store remains more TF2-centric, so premium CS2 skins may take longer to sell at desired prices.
No Auction System: Lacks an auction or bidding mechanism for items.
Buying:
Sign in with your Steam account and input your Trade URL.
Browse the “Market” tab for desired skins across supported games (TF2, CS2, DOTA 2, Rust).

Selling:

Yes. Bot-based transactions reduce scamming risk and provide immediate item delivery for buyers. As with any marketplace, verify official bot accounts and trade details carefully.
Currently, Mannco.store doesn’t have a built-in screenshot or float inspection feature. You’ll need to check details in your game client or a third-party float checker.
Absolutely. While best known for TF2 items, Mannco.store supports CS2, DOTA 2, and Rust as well, along with some gift cards and physical merchandise.
Steam’s default trade-hold rules still apply. If a newly transferred item has a lock, you must wait for that hold period to expire before withdrawing it to your inventory.
Often, yes. Since Mannco.store charges only a 5% fee (vs. Steam’s 15%), sellers have room to list items at lower prices while still making a decent profit.
