So the cards that drop, that you turn into badges, can be sold on Steam?

When you sell a card how much do they typically go for? I assume you get paid in Steam credit?

 

[JDHarbs]

Ah, I also have a Toshiba Satellite. I have a AMD Athlon II P320 and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200. Not sure if yours is more powerful.

I might have a better processor, but you probably have the better graphics card. I ran Chivalry on lowest settings but full resolution and it worked just fine for me. I'm sure your PC can do the same.

Just caved and bought Bioshock infinite for 25€. I still hate GMG for rejecting my money.

You can sell the cards, not the badges and the prices range, from $0.20 to $5 or so for foils.

Cards are typically $0.20 - $0.30

Some go for 0.40-0.50

I didn't even know this was on Steam yet.

I only have the free version that came out a while back. I figured I'd show them (him/her?) some support by gifting the steam version.

 

[mojo2]

You're just jealous of all my badges and my rad Hotline Miami background.

I thought about buying cards for Hotline Miami background but the backgrounds are few cents and cards go for little less than euro.

E: Okay, you can get some emoticons and shit but.. No.

 

[HammerOfThor]

TIL about remote installation. My Steam is open at home, but I'm at work.

FTL will be waiting to kill me when I walk in my door.

This exists? Now I regret not leaving my computer on!!

If you craft a badge it will delete your cards, so if you want to sell them, better avoid crafting.

Normal ones go around 20-25 eurocents.

Cool...I have no interest in personalizing my profile, so should I just sell every card that I get? Because isn't that all badges can do; let you personalize your profile?

[SmarterUnconscious]

Yeah like 8 of them. Don't ask.

haha, if they are the vouchers I'm thinking of you can probably sell them to the people who play those f2p games or just give em away. I play hawken and see a lot of people give out on their official forums.

 

[Sykotik]

Alright. I closed down all the games, opened 4 of them that still had cards.

I got 1 card each for the games I had open.

 

[mattiewheels]

Come on Gabe:

Max Payne 3, $5 or bust.

Hmm, I'll think about getting it, then. Anyone have a 4-pack I could join?

 

[maty]

I'm not a fan of how they're implemented; if they were regular level 1 badges across the board I'd be more inclined to actually get involved. But with this two tier regular and foil system, along with regular badges going up to level 5, meh. I lose all interest.

I agree with you. There should have been only 1 level per badge until a series 2 of cards appear. I crafted several badges myself. But still made enough money to fund several game purchases.

I would have prefer the adding new achievements event, at least they were fun to do.

Yeah, it's really not worth buying cards. I just trade them around until I get the ones I want. Have made about 30 dollars I've spent on games while still earning around 13 badges. It's just a bit of fun for me.

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

they also give you XP to level up

What do I get for levelling up?

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

What do I get for levelling up?

Respect.

Cool...I have no interest in personalizing my profile, so should I just sell every card that I get? Because isn't that all badges can do; let you personalize your profile?

When you combined all the cards in a set you get 1 badge, 1 wallpaper, 1 emoticon so if that doesn't interest you then yeah unload those cards on the market for some free money.

Not only that but if you find a background you like they're typically like 5 cents.

 

[Caerith]

What do I get for levelling up?

More HP mostly.

 

[kris.]

This is my first Steam sale. My wallet weeps. I should have prepared.

 

[Anustart]

What do I get for levelling up?

Better chance at getting cards. My god the circular logic!

 

[Rafy]

What do I get for levelling up?

5 extra friend slots

 

[OJdaKiller]

To level up my Steam level? What good is a higher Steam level? I think my current one is something like 3.

 

[jshackles]

Cool thanks. I've got so many of them I'm almost considering playing these games - nothing like having a $200 head start.

 

[Alien Bob]

Respect.

Respect is everything.

[bengraven]

I just learned about it now, when I bought FTL. haha

I wonder what my wife will think of it popping up to download. She already suspects something is going on during Steam, because of someone PMing her (he thought it was me on Steam at the time) about a giveaway yesterday.

And money to valve. valve wins in the end.

 

[Tecl0n]

I almost made it to the middle of the third system in FTL, stop boarding me damn it.

 

[kuYuri]

I am locked out of selling on community marketplace for a whole week after adding funds to my wallet from my Paypal. Guess I should try contacting Steam support?

 

[Chance Hale]

Too good for you level 3 plebeians

Spoiler

Kidding

My level looks pitiful now that I've added neogaf people, lol.

 

[Caerith]

Cool thanks. I've got so many of them I'm almost considering playing these games - nothing like having a $200 head start.

A $200 headstart in a f2p game is laughable. I've seen people buy $1800 worth of in-game currency and lament that it wouldn't last the weekend.

 

[RionaaM]

Cards are the worst thing to happen to Steam ever.

They paid for a couple of my most recent acquisitions, so I can't agree with you.

Upgrade those doors, son.

free games for those that don't care

Ever been at an official Magic The Gathering tournament?
Well, Steam cards give you the same amount of raditude!

Happened to a few of us today. I wouldn't hold you breath for a resolution before the end of the sale......

 

[bengraven]

I'm still lost on the cards thing and I think I may have just sold a card I shouldn't have, but I was playing around.

Cards, badges, I'll figure this shit out after the sale is over.

 

[MikeDown]

Not sure if I mentioned this, but I had a dream last night and Gaben came to me, he was riding on a scooter and he showed me a list. And he said that he'll make HL3 after he gets some stuff done, he pointed to the list, the top line read "stuff to do" and the second line read "half life 3". And I was like "yup Mkay" then he turned around and drove into a train tunnel.

Ugh, how awful.

 

[rockx4]

It's ingenious lol. Getting people to buy some of these summer sale games for cards, then getting them to buy\sell the virtual trading cards... and it's working, fucken crazy.
