YBA Skin Values Explained: The 0.1–260 Scale, Tiers, Demand, and Stability
2026年7月更新
Where the ratings come from
TradingKeep's YBA values follow The Friendly Pkers' official tierlist, published at ybavalues.com — the reference the trading community itself runs on. 178 of the 288 Stand Skins in our catalog carry a rating from that list, along with its demand signal, so what you see here matches what serious YBA traders are quoting in-game. The rest sit on the F Tier — 107 unvalued commons that carry no number at all. The tierlist also tracks a stability signal for its ratings; that lives on ybavalues.com itself, and it is worth checking there before a big trade.
Reading the 0.1–260 scale
The number is a relative community scale, running from 0.1 at the low end of the valued range up to 260 for the game's most coveted skins — the most common skins carry no number at all and sit in the F Tier instead. It exists to answer exactly one question: how does this skin compare to other skins and items in a swap? It is a community reference point, not a price — YBA has no tradeable cash, so there is nothing to 'pay' with. You compare piles: skins and items on your side against skins and items on theirs.
The letter tiers: S, A+, A-, B, F
Every skin also sits in a tier — S at the top, then A+, A-, B, and F at the bottom. Tiers are the quick read: an S-tier skin for The World Over Heaven or D4C is a centerpiece that anchors a whole trade, while the F Tier is the unvalued commons shelf — 107 skins that carry no number and serve as the small change you use to top up an offer. When someone claims a skin is 'basically' a tier above where the list puts it, the list wins the argument.
Demand and stability: the signals people skip
The number alone can mislead you. Demand — shown right on our value list — tells you how actively the community wants a skin right now: a highly rated skin with low demand can sit in your inventory for weeks, while a hot mid-tier skin gets offers daily. Stability is the source tierlist's own signal for whether a rating has been holding steady or swinging with hype — we do not display it here, so check it at ybavalues.com before a big trade. If you are trading toward a long-term grail, favor stable, high-demand skins; if you are chasing a trending skin, know that its rating may not hold.
Values are about prestige, not power
Skins add zero function — a skin equipped on a Stand changes how it looks, never how it fights. That means a skin's rating is driven entirely by rarity (skins mainly come from Mysterious Arrows and rerolls, so the rarest pulls stay rare), demand, and looks. Nobody 'needs' an S-tier skin to play; they want it, and that want is the entire economy.
Putting it to work in a trade
Before you agree to anything, drop both sides of the deal into our free Win / Fair / Lose (WFL) calculator. It weighs the ratings on each side and calls the swap a win, fair, or lose — the fastest sanity check in the game. Pair the verdict with the demand rating — and, for a big trade, the stability signal on ybavalues.com — agree the final terms in chat, and only then start placing items, because in YBA's one-way trade window, nothing you add comes back out.
