Trying to list stuff to the market, and steam says community market is closed, wtf.

 

[derExperte]

Has Market died or is just for me?

Try restarting Steam.

Europeans are at a huuuge disadvantage here. No chance at all to compete against bidders from other countries. US is in the middle, ahead of Europeans but behind most other countries.

eu gets shafted? business as usual then

Spoiler

sadly

-

Are any of you up for some Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare multiplayer this weekend, if it's possible to create a private party/server?
I think we should play more games together, especially when we get free weekends from Steam.

wish my rig could play it. would be fun to play together.

Gem markets bottomed out, just got 12 1,000 gem bags for $0.03 a piece.

How? It won't even let me place a buy order.

 

[Phawx]

So the goal is to buy gems and craft rare boosters?

Agarest zero booster costs 800~. Three cards should get you $1.30

 

[_hekk05]

So the goal is to buy gems and craft rare boosters?

You can only craft 1 booster (per game) a day, so don't spend too much on gems

 

[Turfster]

So the goal is to buy gems and craft rare boosters?

Yep, until that well gets poisoned too.

 

[Kifimbo]

Whole thing is bonkers. Market will be completely distorted after all this.

 

[Atraveller]

Yep, until that well gets poisoned too.

Disney games have great prices, well, before the new meta game crashes the booster market.

 

[Turfster]

You can only craft 1 booster (per game) a day, so don't spend too much on gems

Still worth it, with gems going at 1000 for 0.03€
You're basically getting 3 cards for bottom price of one at any point in the future

 

[Casimir]

Hi, GAF.

So, what do I get for crafting the winter sale or the foil winter sale badges? Everyone seems to be focused on the gem meta game :x

Valve usually reveals the details of their current metagame at the start of the sale, specifically Dec 18 for the upcoming wintersale.

Damn, should have waited and just bought cheap gems instead of buying those 100 gem backgrounds.

 

[Hero Prinny]

He's now 'Bayonetta' afair.

Yep: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/member.php?u=74984

so like, cause he gets a sex change he's too good to be friends with good ol' hero prinny? WELL WHO NEEDS YA, YOU HEAR ME, "BAYONETTA"!?

 

[Atraveller]

Damn, should have waited and just bought cheap gems instead of buying those 100 gem backgrounds.

Yeah, thankfully they don't cost a lot.

 

[Jørdan]

Trying to buy ze gems yet I keep getting told to sod off. Placing bids upwards of £.10 and still being refused. No boosting my wallet with boosters pack sales.

 

[freshVeggie]

just wanted to idle a.bit. my badge page says 9 games but idle master says 7?

any ideas jshackles?

 

[The Dear Leader]

Here's my technique, place high number orders like 15+ at $.03 or $.04, I've had the order go through instantly, then buy any booster less than 750 gems, open them, sell the foils, re melt the commons or cheap ones to gems.

 

[ExoSoul]

Still worth it, with gems going at 1000 for 0.03€

Can't even buy one bag, always gives me an error.

 

[Kifimbo]

When I wake up tomorrow morning, I expect most things will be worth 0.03$. Including booster packs.

 

[Turfster]

Lol, the cheapest cards of guarded are sold out.
There were 100.000+ of them only a few hours ago

 

[Khronico]

Yeah none of my purchase requests are getting through... Cmon Steam let me game the system here

 

[AsylumX]

Can't even buy one bag, always gives me an error.

me too...

edit: i just place an order for 34... hell yeah!

 

[Elija2]

Valve are lucky they limited the number of booster packs that can be crafted in a day, otherwise people would be crafting like nuts right now.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Whole thing is bonkers. Market will be completely distorted after all this.

For old games, yeah.

Once new games arrive with new cards after this amazing mess is over, the market for those cards will look just like normal again. Wonder if cards for older games will stabilize after this.

At any rate, until then...

 

[baterism]

Gem markets bottomed out, just got 12 1,000 gem bags for $0.03 a piece.

Same here. But now I can't buy any. It seems the gems that I bought was from glitch. Finger crossed it's not pulled.

 

[Lomax]

Yeah, getting a buy order to go through on a Bag of Gems is almost impossible.

 

[jshackles]

When I wake up tomorrow morning, I expect most things will be worth 0.03$. Including booster packs.

Seems like someone predicted that last week...

here

 

[Woody Invincible]

Wow, bought 70 more sacks for $2.10

 

[Salsa]

no one's buying boosters anymore

nor cards really in my case

 

[ramoisdead]

Dead or Alive 5 Tier 2 has been completed. Tier 3 starting now. I believe it will make the 3 tiers in the winter sale.

I hope so. Preordered that sucka.

 

[Hero Prinny]

-nonsense-

fight me in smash.

 

[_hekk05]

Keep them cards, or craft them to get winter seal cards.

Unload when gem event ends


Welp I've tried like 20 times to list a buy order but they all failed.

 

[corrosivefrost]

just wanted to idle a.bit. my badge page says 9 games but idle master says 7?

any ideas jshackles?

Yeah, the badge page is probably counting the past sales that say "play game" now cause valve does that for some reason. Idle master is smart enough to know they're not a game.

 

[AlphaProspector]

Seems like someone predicted that last week...

here

Hmm... so basically this is going to tank the price of anything that isn't their own games and in-game stuff? (DOTA2, TF2, CS:GO, etc.)

I was selling cards just fine until this started. It has stopped and holy crap I do get the feeling it's going to get really bad in the coming days...

 

[Phawx]

Oh sweet! I can finally craft all the badges I was hoarding. My inventory is going to be spotless!

 

[zkylon]

was checking out blades of time and i notice there's like multiple "purchase options"?

is that new? or like an ehanced steam thing?

 

[Abhor]

I have no idea what's going on with gems. Can't seem to get in a buy order.

Also, would someone be kind enough to send me an invite to the steam group?

http://steamcommunity.com/id/TheAbhor

 

[Khronico]

Every single one of my buy orders are getting cancelled...

 

[YianGaruga]

Think I crafted all the worthwhile boosters for today, made about 5€. Not bad. Prices of those cards will probably crash over the weekend though.

 

[Momentary]

Is BlazBlue CSE still locked in Europe?

Edit: Acutally nevermind. I see that it's not now thanks to Enhanced Steam's region pricing.

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

Error after error :lol.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

It's something new with regular Steam, apparently. It was mentioned earlier for a different game.

 

[Lomax]

The market is officially in bizarro-world.

 

[someguyinahat]

Who's gonna buy a card for 3 cents when they can buy a sack of gems for 3 cents that can net them a booster, or nearly so? This market is fucked.

 

[Jørdan]

This is going to end badly. Merry Christmas!

Offering my consultancy services in exchange for gems.

 

[Salsa]

right

I was just saying

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

Someone just bought one of my cards, I was quite shocked

 

[ExoSoul]

The market is officially in bizarro-world.

Sellers: Please buy for 0.13 instead of 0.03

Makes sense.

 

[The Dear Leader]

The market is officially in bizarro-world.

The price of gems is dropping so fast, people don't even have time to update their buy orders before the gems are gone.
