I've started to slowly gobble up the summer cards at around 30Cent. It's not like I'm using real money for that so I can only win.

You're saying that it'll go lower that the $10 it already is currently?

When everyone and their unborn children gets them it doesn't matter that they get cut off, they remain worthless forever; at least as far as TF2's marketplace has shown me. Foil ones might get some worth in that case, but I doubt anything will happen for the regular batch.

Thank you Thezez 
for McPixel
for McPixelAll of the story DLC is worth it, especially Year of the Snake. Wheels of fury is amusing if you enjoy 80-90s tv shows and movies about cars outfitted with weaponry.
The costume and weapon DLC is okay, just watch out for the money DLC. It unbalances the game.
That's it? Terrible.
I can't decide if Trading Cards are awesome or a complete waste of time and money. Too many limited drops of cards for my liking. Seems to force your hand to go to the marketplace.
I am looking for a european to host it cause it costs me less, if you are buying in euros I'm in

Yeah that's what I was thinking. I've already sold two and still have two left. Don't you get a card for every tenner you spend and after voting thrice, again and again? Plus crafting other badges of course.
It does. Each $9 from the Dota store gets you *one* card drop.

But the cards will disappear over time as people craft summer badges while the TF2 stuff doesn't.

The latter, but they also give you money sometimes, so they can stick around.
Ok cool, thanks

Thanks, I'll look into it.

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.
Yes but unlike TF2 cards, they will stop dropping after the sale, and will only become more and more rare as people craft the badge. Supply will certainly go down, but what about demand? That's the $0.30 question!
I just had an epiphany - I don't care about cards and if I sell them now I can get games for cheap in the Summer Sale.
This is somewhat incredible for me as, up until about an hour ago, I genuinely thought I did care. I even crafted some badges. But emoticons and profile backgrounds aren't worth the hassle, and this way I get games to play!
When the sale is over who knows what'll happen, as I won't be able to buy as many games for as cheap, but for now this is stopping me spending real money and it's great.

Enjoy!
Might pick up Surgeon Simulator depending how much is in my steam wallet after selling these cards. Picked up the Isaac DLC since it was only £0.99.
Just don't care about trading cards and sell them for ez money.

Oh they're definitely a waste of time to collect, but they're a great way to get free money.
So far they've funded every single game I've bought in this sale.

There will be a LOT of cards, and very few people who will want to craft the badge. I don't think they'll be worth much.

On both Nintendo and MS's side, I meant from pricing, not gaming quality.
GFW Marketplace on PC has been pretty notorious (in the past maybe, i haven't checked in a year) for pricing their first party games. Just reminds me of how Nintendo waited forever to drop their first party games' prices.
Between you and me, it is. COD2, then MW1 are the ONLY two CoDs I really liked, let alone loved. CoD2 also has the nostalgic memories of being my first game on 360 launch day and I didn't realize I was going to be playing my favorite FPS of all time that day.

Welcome to the club! Profile backgrounds are overrated (and free with Enhanced Steam - whichever one you want). Emoticons are cool but if there is one you really want you can just buy it on the marketplace rather than crafting the badge.
Free money is where it's at!
Could've bought it as a gift and left it in your inventory for later.
But sell them later and while you might get more money, nothing will be on sale until 6 months from now.

Can't you recover it?

Trading cards are good, if they added more incentive to craft badges.
I forsee people realizing that crafting is B.S. and prices just crashing, making the cards worthless.
It's been happening already, people frantically try to sell cards on new games as soon as they get them (idling their games). It's breaking the market and will basically make it ridiculously easy to buy and craft for those few that will care about it.
Ironically, I'm locked out because I recovered it!
Fuck me. Forgot about that, probably won't resist buying some fancy items, and I'm probably months away from having the courage to jump into matchmaking to show off my items to others.

Oh man, so many games bought already:
£8 was the most I've spent on a single game, and that was for The Book of Unwritten Tales and all its DLC content.

Yeah I might just start selling all my cards. I don't see a good reason why I would want to keep and craft them? I mean I got a +5 friends list bonus for crafting cards, wowee. Thanks Valve. Plus an emoticon and a background? The whole benefit aspect seems worthless. At least I can get some monetary value selling them.

More than likely. And if it doesn't you can just buy it on the last day, after the last of the special deals have been shown.

I understood that. It's horrible how long Nintendo keeps their first-party titles at $50. I was just extending the comparison.
Better yet, give them to me.
I've brainstormed about doing the same, but I don't want to lock someone out for a half an hour for a game they didn't want.

It's a fair trade, bro. Trust.

Ah okay. ha. It was just coming from a guy who was dead broke but staring at a $50 Nintendo game, then find out I spent $50 on a game I really really didn't like (SMS).
Speaking of which, it was my first online PC FPS experience and I would love to go back and play again sometime. My brother and I would play the trainyard level with sniper rifles and spend HOURS doing the Enemy at the Gates "game" we created.
Just call it 'Secret game' in your pm to modbot
Ok, thanks, i will give it a shot.
