What moves Rust's economy

• New skin releases — Rust adds skins frequently; fresh releases and their scarcity shape demand across the market.
• Item-store rotations — What's available in the store — and what leaves it — directly changes supply and collector value.
• Twitch Drops campaigns — Drops flood the supply of specific skins, pushing their prices down until the supply is absorbed.
• Limited & seasonal skins — Time-limited items become supply-capped and appreciate once they leave circulation.
• Obtainability changes — Any change to how skins are earned or dropped re-prices the affected items.
