StatTrak™ Nova | Wood Fired (Minimal Wear)

Yes, the Nova | Wood Fired is an excellent budget-friendly choice. Priced affordably, it offers the Wood Fired aesthetic without breaking the bank. Budget skins like this are ideal for players building their first inventory or those who prefer spending on multiple skins rather than one expensive item. The lower price point also means less financial risk if you decide to trade or sell later.

Minimal Wear covers float values from 0.07 to 0.15 on the CS2 wear scale. Within that band a lower float looks cleaner in game and usually sells for more, so two Minimal Wear copies of the same skin can be priced well apart. Every listing's float is shown in the marketplace table above.

Right now the Minimal Wear is quoted at about $0.78 and the Factory New at about $1.45, so the Factory New costs 86% more. How much of that gap is worth paying depends on the finish: wear shows first on edges and raised areas, so on some designs the cleaner wear is hard to tell apart in game.
