Eh I'm unsure. The absence of a regulated price guide allows for a more fluid market. I mean the prices would need to be in $ anyway and SCM already provides fairly accurate statistics on an items average selling price, pricing the items in buds/keys just doesn't seem necessary and most CS:GO only traders won't find much need for a new site that uses TF2 currencies to provide item prices. The absence of in-game trading means people don't trade as frequently, at least from what I see and the CS:GO market is better suited to SCM style by trading for real world cash which I would assume is where most of the CS:GO traders do their business. Only when it comes to the expensive items is trading necessary because of the huge cut Valve take from £15.00+ items or whatever. I think the CS:GO market functions fine without the need for a backpack.cs, or backpack.go or whatever it might be called. However it would be interesting to see what direction it could be taken in and I wouldn't dismiss the idea outright.

 

Bascially...

The site would likely not function like the it does for TF2 or will for DOTA. There is no in-game currency and besides keys, and those are worth more than a vast majority of the games items. So pricing items like its done for TF2 is not really possible. The site would likely function like a hybrid between Lounge and Stash. Wear you can view backpacks like in Lounge, but it actively displays values while looking at bps (unlike Lounge wear its only in the betting section), and display SCM values for every item and quality (unlike Stash which only directly displays cheapest price for plain and stattrak versions).
