Interesting, I got a SPAZ foil yesterday as well...
omg
...
first ever, after hundreds and hundreds of drops. If the percentage chance is the same across games then this is some BULLSHIT
If I ever manage again to sell a foil for north of $5, I'll be ecstatic.
You can make a foil badge. :O

You need to express your feelings in a post using the word "idiots" at least seven times.
Also you just dug up some repressed memories

Sounds stupid but I just realized it is not called Metro Last Night. I swear I have looked at that title over a hundred times and own the game and just realized that is not the name.
I'm not the only one either since I often see that written as the name.

It's disappointing to see how far the card market has fallen since it's inception, but at the same time it's still pretty awesome that you can make money of off literally nothing. When I sold my Metro foil for $2, it was just kind of like... this is crazy.

Thief II: The Metal Age up on GMG for $1.74. There's supposed to be some decent mods for it to bring the visuals up and whatnot.
Thief: Deadly Shadows there as well for $2.24

+1 for me, not sure where it came from but I thought last night as well until recently.
..wait. Do you mean LCD/LED monitors or studio monitors (speakers). How is your setup connected again?

So you're saying that the market for SPAZ cards has sunk like a horse in a swamp?
(Oh man, that scene completely wrecked me as a child)

I got a Defense Grid foil a few days ago, it's worth $0.69 and dropping. I remember when I could sell my Borderlands 2 standard cards for twice that.

Are you complaining about the price? The offer for foils is real thin. "Starting at" is not likely to mean much.omg

And heck, you should always always place a few cents above the starting at price for regular cards.
Seems like my account got after all restricted, I can't buy nor sell items in the market until 20th August
I haven't used that money at all
I have sent a question to the support again
Steam Support has replied my question:
Steam Support said:
An answer that is completely unrelated to my issue but yet still answers my question. I assume that the cooldown also applies to funds added by Russians too
I always set it to one cent less than the starting price. probably not the best of ideas but I move way too many cards to bother with each and every one and by doing this I get quick results and free games fast

ouch. i'm at about 6-7 foils and 250ish drops in
blessed be gabe
nothing wrong with that, it's essentially paying a cent to ensure it'll get sold sooner rather than later. my rule of thumb is if the first half of the cheapest page of results has the same price, i'll undercut. if the cheapest price only has 4-5 listings, i'll stick with it.

Can someone start up Strike Force Zero and tell me how much memory the launcher uses for your CPU?
I have an I53570K and it's taking up 33% which seems a bit much given it's a launcher.
Also: Boooo at the Summer Card price crash.

Well.... I just finished Gemini Rue. Holy crap that was a great time. I wrote a recommendation and I thought I'd share it with you all. Tried to be vague as to not spoil anything.
I definitely recommend anyone wanting to play a point-n-click play this. The mechanics are solid and modernized providing you with a smooth and relatively intuitive gameplay experience.

Might be a weird question but just asking this for the future.
when the time comes that i get myself a new pc (not for several years,atleast) all i have to do to get my steamaccount + games back is log in on the steam site and input the security code they sent me by email and then install the client and im set ,right ?

You'll download the client then log in and put the code in but yes, thats all.

you log into steam and input the security code after installing the client though
and yes that's basically it

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
CPU: 25
Average CPU: 25ish
CPU Usage is bouncing around between 25% and 33%.
I have a I5 760.

It lost me about half way through, and some of the voice acting was a little hokey "hey chaaaarlie" but I did enjoy it. I got the Blackwell games from Wadjeteye also. However they haven't sunk into me either. I like the characters but I guess I just have to be in the mood for this type of game.
If your current Steam installation is on a drive that you won't be carrying over to your next PC, you can save yourself having to re-download your games by backing up the steamapps folder. I'd also recommended backing up the userdata folder as this contains your custom categories, non-Steam shortcuts, favourite server listings, screenshots and offline copies of Steam Cloud saves (and on that note, Gamesave Manager is also handy).
I haven't played many point-n-clicks. This is probably the only one I've finished actually. I really enjoyed it and thought it was a refreshing experience. And yeah, the VA did get a little spotty at times, but I didn't mind it at all.
Don't think I'll be picking up the Blackwell games anytime soon as I have another point-n-click to get through called The Whispered World. It looks beautifully hand drawn.
So people, what are your rules of thumb to sell cards on the market? I got access to the market yesterday and I've been able to sell 20+ cards, (made some 4+ dollars) but I wonder how can I sell cards faster without driving the prices of cards down (prices should hopefully go up).
I'm asking this because I really want to buy the Puppygames Ultrabundle but I blew my budget on the STALKER games, and right now I'm a dollar and 20 cents away from being able to afford the bundle but money seems to be moving so sloooooow...
EDIT: just one dollar away now. Just sold a card for .24 cents.

Some cards just sell faster than others based on ther popularity. Generally, if you want to sell relatively fast:
1-3 cards on the market at the same lowest value: price it at that
more: price it 1c lower
If you want to sell cards which generally don't sell well fast, you might to have to set the price 3-5c lower
EDIT: Some cards from new games with low quantities can fluctuate +-10 cents over a day, so if you want to maximize profits rather than speed, you might want to look out for that
Sell as soon as possible and don't undercut as you're just participating in the race to the bottom. If you don't need money in a hurry and the cards are popular, you can typically get away with pricing your offerings slightly above the cheapest available.

Broken Sword 1, 2 and potentially 2.5 might be worth a look.
Thanks guys .
if still servicable , i think il put the old drive into the new pc but thats a bridge we will cross when we get there.
But thank you for the tip.

I always price to be on the first page but rarely cheapest. I haven't bought any cheap undercutting cards to raise the value yet. But I've seen other people doing it and it is clearly working if you want to risk a couple bucks temporarily.
You just reminded, I actually finished Broken Sword 1. That was good too. I have Broken Sword 3 but I haven't played it. How is that?
You can remove the limitI want to sell more cards but I don't want to hit the 200 limit
Thanks for the advice guys. I've been pricing my cards slightly above the minimum price in most cases. In other cases my cards have ended up being .10 cents higher than the minimum because of some ridiculous price undercutting (it seems obvious that The Cyborg Midwives card won't sell anytime soon
I'll revise the price of some cards, but it seems that overall I've been doing well so far. Since my last post I actually sold 4 cards in a row.
EDIT: HOLY SHIT I GOT MY FIRST FOIL AND IT'S SELLING AT 4 DOLLARS.
Hopefully there's some market for this thing.

I didn't bother playing the 3D iterations as soon as I heard there were block pushing puzzles. I don't think it was well received which is what led to 2.5 being made as a fan game. 2 however is great, it has a bit more of a fruity colour palette with you visiting South America and the Caribbean. Some of the characters are quite good.
I would say the only time that you want to definitely undercut is if a game has just released cards. The prices are highly inflated for the first few hours then drop off like a rock. I was a bit stubborn with Hotline Miami cards and tried to wait it out at 50 cents.. by the time I realised my mistake they were worth 20-30 cents.Thanks for the advice guys.

Thanks, just wanted to make sure it wasn't something up with my CPU.
It's gonna be laughably terrible
I doubt it'll be great, but I also doubt it'll be 'laughably terrible'. It's the Bioshock 2 team, they know how to make competent games.
If it's Bioshock anything it's going to be a mediocre game that should have instead been used to create System Shock 3
