When this happened to me in WoW, I would just buy the significantly undercut priced item and put it up for sale at my price. Of course I don't know how well that works on Steam Marketplace given how much bigger it is..

Sure, but you don't need to undercut by half to do so, especially not with the low number of cards available and the rate of sale that it's going by. Even if he wanted to undercut it, doing so by 20-30 cents would likely guarantee him a quick sale as opposed to half of the value fo the card.
That game is more difficult from a platforming perspective than Origin. Plus Origin is the first game chronologically.

Yes, but Origin may spoil some of the story moments of Ys I&II. I think it's better to play those first before Origin.
About a week before the card beta was opened up, I nabbed a Defender Quest's foil and for a short while it was the only one on the market. Trouble ensued when another bloke listed his and continuously lowered the price, thus setting a lower and lower precedent. I have to admit that I was tempted to sent him a friend request, hoping to explain why he was being suck a numbskull.
Edit: I eventually sold the card for $9.71 ($8.45). But I could have sold it for much more.
You should just force him lower and lower, then buy it, sell for profit.
There is some risk in that though.

Ys series sale huh? Nice.
Defiance base price dropped to £6.99? http://store.steampowered.com/app/224600/

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Wow - that was a fast and hard drop.
The VIII thread is prime and ready to go if it happens to release today, it's a lot like the VII thread if you don't mind.
Except I need a title for the OT, I'm no good at those.
I did consider that, but with the floodgates due to be opened and the apparent disinterest in the particular card, I decided against it.
One step closer to going F2P.

Everybody buy Ys.
ALL OF THEM.
ALL OF THEM.
But gold can be thrown around a lot more frivolously. When I was playing around with the gem market in Cataclysm, I was often undercutting and being undercut by people. I eventually hit the character gold limit and started screwing around with people by listing things that were normally >100g for 20g. I was trying to crash the market or daring them to eat up useless stock only for me to plummet them again.
The demand in the Steam market isn't as constant.
Ah, what's a few more for the backlog then ;p

Damn... I waited that entire sale for KY0, now both that and Y's Chronicles are up. Sonofabitch
Ok peeps. Supposing I'm going to be playing through Deus Ex for the very first time -- is there anything I should be aware of? Things I should or should not do? Bad habits that I may have picked up from playing DXHR that don't apply, etc.
Basically, I want to like the game, so I want this to go smoothly, so if there are known gotchas gameplay-wise that might cause me to get aggravated, I want to know that now.

- Sees KRZ lost the vote, rages, buys the game on the dev site
- It's now 50% off on Steam, rages some more,
buys a gift copy
- It's now also discounted on the dev site with added bonuses, table flips
- Oh wait I actually did buy it on the official website so I do have the bonuses

Settle down now, its no where close to release lol
I will probably post a thread when it gets closer to let people know, much like I did with FFVII.
OT is all yours, I'm not even an FF fan past VI anyways
, this is my first time playing VII and VIII.haha that's true. My big problem is I can't put cards on the market until 8th August so I can't fund impulse buys at the minute
Wow, that sucks considering I paid more when it was on sale a week or so ago.

Nation Red is ungodly addictive.
Somehow it takes two things I no longer care for (zombies & twin stick shooters) and makes it awesome.

Trine 2 is literally cheap as chips. Go for it.

Haha, yeah, there's no word to whether SE is gonna pull a VII again either-- giving their online store an exclusivity window.
That said, it's being updated in the reg again.
Yeah, I bought the DDE, but I'm content with knowing that I'll still have the game tied to my account when it's inevitably either pulled or made F2P. I just hope there's one more sale if the former is to be its fate, so I can pick up the Season Pass.

Bought it during the sale, can't wait to check it out.
Pretty crazy that the developer still updates it.

Thanks for the update Grief. This is awesome news for ff8. I love 7 but 8>7 for me. Can't wait to play both games when i get the chance.

Make me wonder - will this game even get it's proposed 5 DLC packs?
I've heard IX is actually the best of the PS1 era, I would like to see that one brought over to PC as well.
Less likely, because that didn't have a PC port initially, but Square seems to be pulling in quite the revenue stream here.

I think if FFIX were brought over to PC and had faster load times it would make a lot of people really happy. The loading times suck which makes getting into random battles a chore. Otherwise the game is absolutely fucking incredible.
It has at the same time some of the best charm and some of the best atmosphere the series has ever seen.

Then they would just need to bring Final Fantasy IV Complete (not the 3d remake) and remastered versions of V and VI to make my life complete.

Total money from your owned cards: $3.83
Total potential money from all your games: $36.98
uhh.

So where's my Conquistador?
Tomorrow, Gaben!
I'm also hoping to see Conquistador soon, I already have enough card money to buy it if it goes on sale.
They're sometimes called "pork rinds" where I'm from. Tasty guilty pleasure. Especially the barbeque-flavored variety.
I think I found out the best way possible to solve a "should I buy this game" question.
Go out and buy literally anything. Pretty much anything you can buy on the street, be it a food or pleasure item, will cost more than most games on Steam when they're on sale.
Not counting Activision stuff, obviously.

Yeah I totally wouldn't mind getting a 9 port since I never finished it but I dunno if SE would do it. I guess it depends how profitable 7 & 8 are plus how easy it would be porting.
I guess I'm a bit paranoid because of all the updates today.Settle down now, its no where close to release lol

Everyone is going to have a different opinion about the PlayStation FF games but IX was a return to 'fantasy' rather than a modern setting and some people had a sour taste in their mouth after VIII (For a number of reasons I won't get into) so it was a breath of fresh air. Personally I like VII and VIII more but that's just me. IX is great though, might not get a PC release anytime soon. Load times are my main gripe with IX, other than that it's a great game.
All five are supposedly going to be released within the next 10 months, but who knows if that schedule will remain concrete. If there have been at least two DLC releases by end of the year and the game is still pay-to-play, I think there's a good chance they'll all see the light of day.
FF8 is so batshit insane, both story-wise and mechanics-wise, that really, I'm buying that as soon as it lands.
Seriously, it plays more like an Akitoshi Kawazu (the SaGa or The Last Remnant guy) game than mainline Final Fantasy.
FF9 is nice and all, but truth be told, I'd much rather have FF12 on Steam. Or... well, Vita port of FFX & FFX-2. Better games overall.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
So there you go guys, KD0
Enjoy! those games can be hell at times, but the payoffs in Ys games are always worth it.

I still have my PS1 copy of FFVIII, but I'll gladly rebuy it on Steam just to play some more Triple Triad.
Not sure if pricing mistake or sign game is going F2P and paying any amount for it would be a foolish mistake.
Yes that is me, and why yes I'd love a GAF invite.
