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.
I've got the bug report but it's a little trickier than you'd think. If I just look for the word "Sold" that would only fix the issue for people browsing in English.
Typically market items don't sell this fast, so I assume you're talking about the Snow Globe cards.
Read the fine print: the cards will disappear from everyone's inventory after the sale is over.

Hey jshackles, there's something weird going on with the "lowest market price" function on some of the snowglobe cards in my inventory:
Lowest Price for Snow Globe #5: Sold!
What's up with that? Are you aware of this? Should I submit a bug report or something?
Edit:
Beaten.

I got no friends who randomly gift me stuff
You have a good friend
If you can paypal money, I strongly advise buying it through US gaffer, our price is ridiculous.

The cards have an expiration date AND the badges have infinite levels. The market can not saturate therefore the cards are unlikely devalue before the end of the sale.
Tbh this infinite badge thing kind of ruins what at least was just a fun little novelty. It really is just "here's a way for all the high rollers to give as much money as they can" but since everyone is so happy to net little bits of cash here and there I guess no-one wants to complain.
Hard Reset by a landslide
Painkiller deserved it.
Thank you very much.
Hope you enjoy!

I completely agree. That coal sale was one my favourite sales on Steam; it got me to take a chance on a few games that I otherwise wouldn't have bought (such as The Binding of Isaac which is now my most played game on Steam) and try out others that sat in my collection unplayed. I long for its return but with the cards I think it'll be a significant time (if ever) until such a system returns.

85% discount and only $2.25. I'd have been pissed if anything else won.

Once again, the vote with the lowest potential price...
Hard Reset by a landslide
And all is good.
I'll probably buy Shadow Warrior too during this sales.
I miss those too. That was also the last time a steam sale was impressive from a price point of view.
Also the best game in the list.

Speaking of foils, I got one for Planetside 2 last night. I was excited since it is a f2p game so the value is probably higher.
I go to check the value, all of the foils are marketed well over $3...except the one I got.
Some jack ass undercut the price by $2 and the market collapsed...now 5 or 6 guys have followed suit
The master race has a surprising amount of idiots in it.

Really tempted too with Starbound... but it's still phase 1 :/

Those high rollers will be driving card prices up though. They are basically subsidizing the purchases of the Steam underclass through their pursuit of worthless flashy badges. I would rather have more games than a badge.

Such a good game, probably my most played game in the past two weeks.

Prices are finally going down from ca .50c to now around .35. But I agree with the rest, don't like that infinite badge thing. Crafted lvl 1 and I'll probably leave it at that (if the prices don't completely crash) when I would've maxed it out otherwise.
Mediocre platformer that lasts like 13 hours, which is way too long for a basic platformer. Sure I guess it's worth that little.

I'm still not sure wether to get The Stanley Parable or not...
Yes. Let there be no doubt. It was started, played and finished until the very last Credit Note fellow GAFfers:
I don't know how the people felt paying the Full price on Day one for this game, but I understand them. They wanted a good Aliens game. I've been a fan from the movies since the first one appeared in 1979. Every time I see that radar and I hear the "blink blink" on it I get really fond memories from the first time I saw the movies.
I remember when the Wii U version was the definitive version to get this game and then, this game never happened on said console. I only played the Single Player, watched all the Cut-scenes and finished the Story. I did try to find some Co-op too but I guess it's dead, which I understand.
The game makes sure you never forget its Title since you will often hear that they are, indeed Colonial Marines. The game could have had some potential, playing Aliens CM on those levels at dark while raining it was good! I love rain in games and that, combined with a dark night it's even better.
IA was very poor however, from both the enemies and your team mates. Also the hit detection seemed pretty flawed some times which may not help you in higher difficulties causing you some rage.
While watching the credits (why yes, I did watch them, until the end!) I saw a lot of "Thank you" from the Team to his/her family, friends, dogs, wifes, etc. which means they did put many hours in the game! It's just a shame it was not very good as much as I would like it to be. Here's my hope that one day a true modern Alien game will stay true to the movies and can be as scary and intense to play as it was for me the first time I saw the movies.
It was a fun Marathon and it has now reached its end. I intended to play this game instead of adding to a Backlog and that's exactly what I did! If you care for a more complete review of this game with much more depth and better vocabulary someone can point to the review of fellow GAFfer & Mod Stump. May this Marathon of Aliens CM can inspire many more of you to reduce a bit your backlogs!

Dota 2 is a bit strange. The rest is understandable.

It's $5 on US steam store. Contact me or any of the people listed in the OP if you can reimburse via paypal.

I am trying to remember exactly what the chieve was but there was one particular one that had me playing Beat Hazard for hours. Good times.
The card money should allow for better sale prices!

There's very few games that aren't worth that little, hence why we all have massive backlogs

Thanks for the review. It still seems like something I would want only if it was $2.50 or under.
if you don't care much about gameplay

I honestly don't see the appeal of Alice. It has meh platforming which only pines on looking good.
Just like the Rayman games
