Winged Sakura: Mindy's Arc + OST Gift/Guest Pass Supreme Ruler 1936 Steam Store and Retail Key Gift/Guest Pass Sins of a Solar Empire® - Trinity Gift/Guest PassĬherry Tree High I! My! Girls! Steam Store QP Shooting - Dangerous!! Gift/Guest Pass
Most of the games I got from that auction were tailored just for the gems & booster packs, I still have my list I also managed to pick up a whole lot of gems after they dropped to that super low amt in January (I think it was), when people that didn't read stuff thought they'd become worthless. I guess it was good I didn't buy any games, since I think those purchases got reversed? Would have been more except 1) I bought many thousands of bags at 3 cents each, 2) the $500 wallet limit. Was something like +$300 with the same amount of gems.
After the market down time and 'reset', I was left with the profit I had made from selling my gems & was reset to my old gem total. I managed to get about 50 cents a bag for all of my gems (& later rebought millions at 3 cents), but was stymied by that $500 wallet limit. Then they had that bug w/ the Indonesian prices & gem price plummeted, then made that (half-assed? not sure what to call it) attempt to reverse all of that. I know if you were in the UK, you would have been spending around 4.5c USD minimum) re: some jpg I made showing market differences. (ed: and I bet those '3 cent backgrounds & emoticons' were actually much, much cheaper than 3 cents. Deposited $50 (*ed: $40 actually, but I probably had around ~$5-$10 wallet balance) buying those 3 cent backgrounds & emoticons, first the 100 gem ones & then the 80 gem ones. I also happened to be lucky and be online when they first made the gem announcement & those were the last deposits I ever made into Steam, besides a few $5 gift certificates (activating new accounts, now that they require the $5 spend for marketplace/trades). They're going down now some because more people are making badges because of the summer cards, but probably go back up after this event ends. I think that's one of the big reasons why gem prices went up, really. Still a hassle to list a bunch of 5 or 6 cent cards, though. Some tools (like steam desktop auth + archie's farmbot) speeds it up quite a bit though. It is very time consuming, w/o the right set-up. also those other bgs will recover in value some probably (cyborg domain, etc). excess cards, i still have some of those listed. i think they're all gone now, for something like $2 each. i think i only sold 1 of those to a bid and just listed the rest. The result is basically jun 10 10am and jun 10 11am utc (oh and that one at 9pm too, i listed just the one, since there were so many bids)īeh, last edit: there weren't really any good bids for the rare bg as i recall.
w/ aeon command, the cards were selling for 9 cents or something, so i bought ~75 of each, you can probably find it in the history on some of them, (where my bids didn't get enough so I had to make big bulk purchase - avg was actually around 10 cents probably, cause someone was manipulating that cyborg fleet card price, but rest were mostly 9 cents) but those fluctuate, sometimes it's better to sell cards. well, major/minor, mu complex, franchise hockey, moonbase commander, dark matter, gun wings, oblivious garden are some others. The only badges I tend to make for myself are ones where the results of the badge are worth more than the cards (aeon command was a good example, a week or two ago, not sure about now). Had some 3000+ listings that have been chopped down to 1500 or so. but, yeah, all those junk cards are selling much faster now with that extra 13-16 cent card or whatever it is now that you get with them, heh.
