So is it now cheaper to buy backgrounds/emoticons instead of buying the gem bags?

STEAM | December 2014 - Read OP for winter sale questions
- Thread starter MRORANGE
- Start date
The price has been slowly increasing over the months. Maybe it will have more than 40% off on the next sale but it will still cost more than the last time it went on sale for 40%
Yeah I know x.x I regret not buying it a couple of years ago so now I just wait. It's amazing how many times it's been exactly 40% off though, even as the price increased.

we knew it would do that going in if we read the fine print. call the lower price an Early adopter Bonus

There was a price mistake with Dark Souls I? When?
Buy CS GO cards ($0.07*5) and Craft badge.
You get 200 Gems items + a holiday sale card.
So 1000 Gems = $0.7?

Thanks, but I have no game saves to migrate... all my 120 hours were spent on PS3. I get to start fresh; I may have made it out of the asylum at one point, but I didn't do anything worthy of worrying about it... I've been patiently waiting for the patch to start.
Can you craft a badge even if level 5 to get the rewards and just no exp, or will steam not let you?
No idea. This whole thing seemed messed up from the very beginning.

Unfortunately, I already finished that badge :/
Well, you could only do that five times, but in theory that would be profitable right now, yeah.

In current gem prices the first bidder paid over 1000€ for the holiday profile. And it looks like supply is dwindling, less and less gems on the market.

Should I wait to sell my six sacks of gems or should I wait for the price to go even higher?
You only gave us 1 option, so yes.
Any more games like this?

The point is ladies and gentlemen that greed, for lack of a better word, is good.

I want the option to sell gems short. The crash will come.
Well if you had more I'd say sell piecemeal but if I didn't do that myself I'd have a bunch of sacks more now which would be worth quite a few €. We're in uncharted territory so to say, no one knows where this train will stop.

Might as well wait. Maybe the price will go up to 1.50 tomorrow or midnight!
Damn that's a beauty.
$0.19 on the australian store about a month or two ago.

It seems like prices for gems have to eventually fall, I think they are now worth more than anything you could possibly do with them. I doubt there are any boosters worth more than the amount of gems needed to craft them, and the auction prices are crazy. That said, who knows how long it will take for the general steam community to realize that fact.
Look at the market...There is nearly 140k requests to buy. Only 13k selling. Peoples is thirsty for them gems bruh.

To be fair, a lot of those requests are kind of silly. Like my 200 request to buy @ $0.03 that I left up

I think I should melt down my 75 or so backgrounds and emoties at this price.
Prices will drop once you can get them via voting.

This whole gems thing seems like way too much work. I'll just buy the games I want.

No, then you can click on them whenever you want. The cards themselves are obviously gone.

You use up the cards, but you can still the full images when you click on each card in the badge screen.
Then it's even easier. I didn't see if you got another answer to this already, but if you don't want to import anything, all you have to do is opt-in for the 2.0 branch and install the game. That's what I did as well.

I know. But still the demand is much higher than supply. Not enough gems to go around to feed the masses. The thirst is real.
At times like this I really envy those people out there who have like level 300+ profiles n stuff. Just imagine how much junk they've accumulated over the years. Now all of is worth valuable gems.
*shakes fist* @ all those crazies.
They are slowly trending up but history says they will spike when the event is released and then drop once people start getting free cards from voting.
Edit: Though that's regular cards, with foils, you might just want to sell. Haven't really watched that market as close personally but I doubt it has as much of a spike in demand.
It's the superior game afterall :3
And FOOK! Someone sniped me with TEN SECONDS LEFT on an auction -_-...
Bastard...
I got out-sniped, so... Here I am, sitting at the high-bidder thing, like a dang fool. :|
Hah... Haha... No. It's more in line with it's original purpose.
Thank you! I'll get started crafting the ones that are ready. Do you have to be a certain level to get the items?

Are there any actually good deals via the auction? As in, they're going for less than their lowest recorded price?
Damn Australians.
Why? You think morningbus needs another 5 years of free cable?
It's the friendly thing to do.
i miss that candy cash...i got so many games this summer
There's several ones, yeah. There's one last one I want going for 10 000 gems and lowest recorded price is 30 euros.(not saying what it is for obvious reasons
)Monkey Tales Games goes for 3000 gems and the cheapest it has been is 7.5 euros.
1953: Nato vs Warsaw Pact goes for 4000/5000 gems and the lowest recorded price is something like 13.5 euros.
There's plenty of good deals if you search for them
Not sure when they updated it, but you can now see your position in the auction even if you're not in the top 100.
No, every badge gives an emoticon, background, and typically a coupon but during events like this it is replaced with an event card.
