What it does

Sets the buy window for each round, in minutes, so 0.25 is 15 seconds and 1.5 is 90 seconds. Competitive configs often use a short buy time to keep rounds moving. Players also have to be inside their buy zone.

Good to know

Values below 0.25 (15 seconds) are raised to 0.25.

Run it on your server

On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to cstrike/server.cfg. New to this? Start a CS 1.6 server first.
