It's funny that the new winter cards are the last thing anyone is paying attention to, past sales it would be all we would be talking about right now.

Edit: Finally got a buy order through on some bags of gems. Though I have to assume the people still dumping them got them from the dupe bug, because what else would the source be?

 

[Rhaknar]

i never had a cool nickname. what's tuga mean?

its short for Portuga, which I guess is short for Portuguese? I find it offensive, but we use it ourselves so what can I say :/

and you have a nickname. you are "that guy that doesnt remove f2p games from his wishlist". not very catchy, I know

 

[MMBosstones86]

FF13 cards still sell for quite a bit. .30 for each.

Really? In our high school, the term for people of portuguese heritage was "fish." Because you guys eat it a lot, apparently.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

i have 260 gems. i dunno why this should excite me but i guess i'll find out soon or something. At least i got rid of those awful emoticons and backgrounds taking up space in my inventory

 

[zkylon]

this allegedly british guy can't be ripping me off can he?

i mean steam commununilty is a real thing i'm sure!

I know I shouldn't expect you to read 12 hours of posts... but I knew it was covered at least once and II'm extra cranky tonight. Blame the gems.

ehhh ok

steam://install/<id>

So if it's Ghosts, the ID is 209170

whats with the food nicknames >_>

 

[Phawx]

What boosters net the most money?

http://steam.tools/cards/

Agarest Zero people still have HIGH buy orders in

like $.40 per. Soon as I listed the money went to my wallet.

 

[electroflame]

Welp, those 60 sacks are mine.

EDIT: Oh, holy crap. My 60 count buy order was fulfilled twice. I ended up with 120 sacks.

As a half-Kraut, I dunno.

All I can say is i'm glad I didn't order bife the last time I was in Portugal.

haha
that's a mouthful. you have it good. we can call you rhak-rhak.

 

[MMBosstones86]

well my gem sack buy order definitely isn't getting filled.

Where are these sacks coming from anyway? Volvo?

 

[Rhaknar]

im going cheap-laptop hunting tomorow, wish me luck.

Problem is you have to have the games to craft the booster. Anime waifu games are all still decently high. Exceed 2nd netted me $.30 or so.

So... let me get this straight. You can buy stacks of gems for a few cents, and then craft them into a booster assuredly worth more than a stack? I feel as if I'm missing something here.

Pretty much. Card market is going to crash hard.

Yeah that's it, just keep the cycle going, you can either unpack and sell the cards and hope for boosters or just sell the boosters, then take that money and buy more gems.

 

[Phawx]

WHOA!

I was mindlessly gemifying backgrounds and emoticons when I just Barely saw this:

Holiday Auction
This item is worth: 20 Gems
Turn into Gems...
This item can be broken down into Gems to use in Holiday Auction bids. Learn more here.
View in Community Market
Starting at: $2.57
Volume: 2 sold in the last 24 hours

Pretty much. Card market is going to crash hard.

It's already started

 

[Locust]

This gem stuff is nuts. In putinbucks 1 sack costs like 0.24 rubles (0.003€) compared to 0.03€ in the euro market. Where does the extra money go?

 

[MUnited83]

That's exactly it. Of course, this will be ran into the ground in less than a day so it should be taken advantage of right now.

 

[jshackles]

Out of gems, made about $9.50 selling cards from boosters. I have a ton of buy orders in but they're not going through, so I'm out. The card market is totally wrecked right now.

Going to be interesting to see how this plays out.

Either way, I've got Enhanced Steam working with a "1-click button to turn an item into gems". I'm going to try to push out a new update tomorrow with a lot of new features.

 

[Annubis]

Went on a crafting frenzy. Vanguard princess, LLTQ, YS origins, 100% OJ, Go Go Nippon

Too bad I don't own comedy high school cherry club or sakura spirit

Cherry tree isn't worth anything anymore.

Wow. So one game down, hundreds to go, I guess!

 

[Chairmanchuck]

You cant buy the gems for 0,03 cents, can you?

 

[Salsa]

cant place shit

and when I did it disappeared

 

[MUnited83]

You cant buy the gems for 0,03 cents, can you?

Yes you can. You just have to keep clicking. Just got more 75 myself.

 

[The Dear Leader]

You cant buy the gems for 0,03 cents, can you?

Only way I've gotten them to go through is by buying in bulk 15-20 bags at a time, otherwise it just errors out, and even then sometimes if it goes through, the order will disappear into the steam.

 

[freshVeggie]

rhak-rhak is at least better than cunt I guess

im going cheap-laptop hunting tomorow, wish me luck.

hah. that's quite the leap

good luck for tomorrow. guess you don't need to invest into your pc now, with your 970?

that laptop for downtime at your hotel?

 

[Phawx]

I think I'll wait for this. Thanks!

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Yes you can. You just have to keep clicking. Just got more 75 myself.

Yeah. Thanks. Just put up an order for 50.

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

Incredible that people are still buying my cards.

 

[Turfster]

Lol 1 million gems for the holiday profile at the moment.

 

[Elija2]

Damn, I can't get another order in for gems. Why did I only buy 10 sacks in my first order?

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Looking at some of the booster packs, people are already placing buy orders at $0.03 for some. To be fair, that particular game has been bundled multiple times.

That's not true.
I added someone to my ignore list earlier for asking one of those questions.

Okay, so maybe you've got a point there

 

[Cerity]

Started up Risen 2 again.

How did I even get as far as I did when I tried to play it the first time. The controls on a controller aren't intuitive at all and the moment you try to pick a lock...

 

[AlphaProspector]

"How to kill a market in 1 move"...

Funny enough, I was just watching Live Free or Die Hard, which had some of this high-tech market trolling.

 

[Speevy]

Error error error

 

[derExperte]

Valve really fucked up this time. Probably their worst idea yet.

Also this is the fourth time in the last six hours that I've been on top of the page.

 

[electroflame]

Valve really fucked up this time. Probably their worst idea yet.

"Hey guys, before we go home for the night let's ship this new thing."

*Click*

"Alright, see you guys tomorrow!"

 

[baterism]

I got my listing thrugh and wallet pulled but no gem sacks? Anyone have problem like this?

 

[Rhaknar]

hah. that's quite the leap

good luck for tomorrow. guess you don't need to invest into your pc now, with your 970?

that laptop for downtime at your hotel?

you mean my TWO 970s? get it right damn it! #braggingcunt #epeenisthebestpeen #imbrokeson

but yes, these winter months are killer, I want a cheap laptop just to play indies and shit, nothing fancy

 

[Speevy]

Am I the only one who can't get in on this action? Damn thing keeps giving me error messages sell Mortimer sell.

 

[freshVeggie]

Pretty much. Card market is going to crash hard.

would be great for me. i have lots of incomplete sets. would be ace to get cards for cheap.

 

[Jørdan]

I did good?


Going to fucking bed now

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

Am I the only one who can't get in on this action? Damn thing keeps giving me error messages sell Mortimer sell.

Just have to be persistent, I managed to squeeze 3 buy orders out of it.

 

[Speevy]

How many should I buy?

 

[alr1ght]

I'm curious what their thinking was. Maybe they were trying to cut out the publishers on card sales and make tons of sales on gems. Problem is the gems are stupid cheap and cannibalizes their own cut on high priced cards.

 

[electroflame]

I've got about 140 of these things now. It's slow, but eventually you get one to stick.
