Top of the page again, mate.
It's almost like you're waiting and sniping that position.

I got a refund for the gems I bought, but I also had 200 more gems appear in my inventory randomly...
I feel you, bro.
Haha, you can still sell 'em.
Game is still fantastic >

Bombs from Metro, hilarious.
I got nothing for being a good boy, so next time I'm definitely going to cheat the system - it seems the way to go.

Didn't say he did, but yes I'm a little jealous of people benefitting from it, it's understandable. I didn't mean anything to BernardoOne.
Use some sorcery:
Enhanced Steam has been updated to version 7.2. I know I said 7.1 would be the last release of the year, but I lied.
This update is available for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera browsers. Opera users will need to wait until the submitted version has been approved
- Added Newegg and GamesRepublic to the price history lookups
- Added SteamRep status to user's profiles
[*] Added button to "1-Click" turning inventory items to Gems (be careful!)- Added a search filter that hides games without discounts
- Added a feature that hides empty inventory tabs (thanks zillazillaaaa!)
- Added an option to show "Compare" links on friend activity page (disabled by default)
- Fixed a bug in currency detection for booster pack prices
- Removed library functionality due to API changes made by Valve
As always, please let me know if you encounter any issues with this release.

http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/753/730-Guarded is rising in price again, no offers for 5 cents anymore.
Do backgrounds and emoticons from certain games give more gems than others?

Is that the only 100 gem background?
Every steam event background brought me 100 gems too. But no normal.

Just curious, why the focus on Guarded? Every CS GO/TF2/DOTA2 emoticon or background is worth 100 gems.

Aye, I'm an Enhanced Steam user but I don't seem to have that button. Plugin hasn't updated, maybe.
Yeah, I loaded up on cheap Holiday 2013 items which are worth 100 gems each. Other games' items can be worth anywhere from 10 gems to 80.
still some decent stuff here, along with card games and +1s (since you dont have to worry about Toki's nowinnermonthly thing anymore)
B is actually more expensive. As well as more offers for 4 cents than 3 cents.
This steam market shit is interdasting as fuck. Economists could write books based on this shit

That's the item I made my millions of gems with yesterday so it still has my attention and it had the biggest number available at 3 cents when everything started.
Unless I do one in January...
i wont bother reposting these tomorow probably, let alone in january

what's the easiest easy way to figure out the most valued booster packs? I remember some link floating around yesterday.

I've been eagerly reading every single gems-related post you wrote in the last couple of days but no matter what, I've yet to understand every single thing you say.
Like, you buy a background for 3 cents, convert it to 100 gems, and then? Use those gems to craft a booster pack, unpack and sell it possibly for more money than you needed to get enough gems to craft it?
It's all so convoluted.
Why don't they just credit a tenner to my wallet and call it a day?

They're the highest at the beginning. The general trend is downwards.

need to get those anime boosters
Yes. They'll probably be under 10 cents per card by the end of the sale.

But last time the market didn't crash right before the end as some predicted, prices became relatively stable.

It's a silly name, that'll be the reason.
Dragon. Maybe in 1984.
If you sign in you can select to show just your games and see the prices from there.
Nice, thanks!
Try to update it yourself from the link of your browser. I've always had to manually update it.
Saves lots of clicks.
That or use the gems at the auction to get games (theoretically) cheaper.
I also think there's a hope of getting a foil (1 of 100 or so) and getting even more gems.

Yea pretty much. But yesterday was crazier because you could have bought 1k gems for 3 cents. Crafted booster packs worth like 10-20 times as much depending on the game and sold them for massive profits instantly. Today Valve has made the Sacks unmarketable tho. RIP Glorious 3 cent gem sacks

It seems like there's some games you can't make boosters for even though they have cards. I was hoping to make a booster for No More Room in Hell, but it doesn't seem to be on the list.

Yeah, I just meant compared to the start of the sale. The prices generally drop quite a bit the first week.
First day is always the highest price. They decline in lockstep with the free cards people get from voting. The best time to do it is probably the day before the last day, as sometimes there's a bump up on the last day due to last minute crafting.
All of those things are dependent on the event of course though. During the summer they peaked at about 45 cents each and bottomed out at about 15 cents each. The winter before, the market broke and some sold for over a dollar each on the first day (won't happen this time, there's no conversion), but they bottomed out below 10 cents each because the event didn't sustain demand as much.
tl;dr - sell in the first hours of the first day, sell for the first few days you get them in the sale, and don't craft before the middle of the sale unless there's some other motivation to do so.

Marketable or not, the sacks will never be 3 cents again, that was caused by the duping.
Right now, backgrounds and emoticons. This is the first time you could craft the actual badge before the sale started. I wouldn't recommend doing so though, because you're probably missing out on whatever event related bonus there will be.
