A small note, the time in the How it Works section is your local time, while in the FAQ it states the PST time.

Highest bid for the Holiday Profile is already over 80.000 gems. And that shit expires after the sale.

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.
Not at the moment but I'm currently experimenting with the AJAX functions Valve set up and I might be able to work some magic on them.
EDIT: If I can find the assetID of the item that's selected, I can turn this into a single-click.
EDIT EDIT: found it

I made money, yay! ...a couple of cents but still 
Had a bunch of cards in my inventory. Sold some, bought some to finish badges. That costed me some cents. Then I crafted some badges and got Winter cards that I sold for a little profit. Then I made just under 4000 gems from all those annoyingly ugly icons and backgrounds. Dunno if I'll get any game for that (not gonna bother looking until the auction starts for real) but I'm happy with having a pretty clean inventory now
Edit: 212 card drops remaining... oh. I was almost done some time ago! I better start idling again tomorrow...

I might be into this metagame if it wasn't an auction, I have a severe lack of cards and items. Perfect time for jshack to pimp Idlemaster!

Unpacking gives you the gems back.

when we craft a badge we get the winter sale cards instead of coupons now?

I think the auction badge might be the leveled up version of the gem badge.
Ability to select multiple items to gem on Enhanced Steam incoming.

Ok so let me get this straight:
On average my cards are giving me 15 gems per. CSGO is going for 45k gems. That means I need ~3000 cards for the game.
If I sell the cards on the market I get £0.13. That means if I sell those cards I get £390.
WTF is going on? Am I missing something or is this like the biggest scam ever?

Just played a bit of FF XIII with the new patch and I'm pretty happy with it. Will try to advance in the game since I stopped some time ago at the 8 hour mark.
Still reading regarding this Bid thing and nice to see the Holiday Badge up, I always like to craft at least one to have as a memory.

Seems like the items you get from crafting give you a lot more gems than just trading cards. Probably going to be better to craft and then sell the items. The price on the market for these "should" go up.
Everyone else can play the gems game... I'll take cash.

that's cool
too bad all the copies go to people who already have more spending money than they know what to do with

What just happened. I gemified a few Guarded backgrounds and suddenly jumped from ~10000 gems to 97000.
Unpacked more and now I have 195000. wtf.
395000. This shit is bugged.

Question! I had it happen on Doom 3: BFG as well, but I can't remember the fix. When launching Wolfenstein: The New Order, the game launches fine but I can't access the window, any time I try to alt+tab or click on it it won't go. I remember there was some config thing I had to do with Doom but I can't seem to figure out the Wolfenstein equivalent.
Edit: cancel that, it was silly display recognition junk yet again.

just crafted all the badges i stocked up on; now to wait for the holiday cards to go up in price to get MAX$$$
People are selling them for lower than it costs to buy 1000 at 0.03...
Undercutting is crazy on Steam.

how do i get the holiday cards?
It looks like the market may finally be breaking, the sack of gems has a bunch of buy orders at 31 cents but also a bunch of sell orders below that.
Edit: Yeah, the market page for the sack of gems just can't keep up, I managed to get one buy order in but funnily enough the net result is the prices are continuing to drop.

I wanted to do this but I wanna use my gems on boosters to save cost.
But of course that shit is down atm.

Same thing is happening to someone in the other thread. what
Seems like market prices are already reflecting that? Sack of gems for 0,15€
This doesn't happen to me.
These things never happen to me.
Oh, the auction link is up on the front page now, so that's why most of the stuff jumped up.

This probably because of the lower russian prices plus...
That's nuts, lol. Didn't get so lucky gemming the 'B' CSGO backgrounds though
