Why even do that? When you could just buy figures and shit. At least that's what I would do.

Really? Shit
The reinstall thing has meant I can't use the market on my PC - I can on my phone, but only through the Steam app, which doesn't allow access to the market... through the web using desktop mode it seems to have the same 7 day restriction as my PC
So... basically as far as I understand it there's no way for me to get the last card I need for the badge (card 3) since I can't trade for it or buy it?
I mean I could buy games and hope I get it randomly but that's just silly and expensive if there aren't games I actually want to buy.
This sucks.
Trading should work I think.

bad gameplay lol
It's SteamPlay, so yeah, you're fine.
digital hoarding
I think at 1(EDT) everything turns into the encore sale. I'd love to be wrong though and get 3 more flash sales.
Yeah, I'm curious as well if it's worth it.

I have that, the comedy club visual novel, go go nippon visual novel, exceed gun bullet children, and i wanna say that's it but I'm probably wrong.
Gimme your steam ID and I give you my summer cards, the shoud make you around 75 cent. For the glory of the rat.
What? They're the dev wouldn't they have Steamworks access to all the region pages?

I was looking at it from a selling for profit perspective. If I want Waifu images I can just google them.
As for figures, I wouldn't really be able to put them anywhere without my real wife questioning them, or explaining them to my 3 y/o daughter lol.
Here are my top few cheap ones...
Gundemonium Collection
Magical Drop V
Noitu Love 2: Devolution
Danmaku Unlimited 2
Unholy Heights
Croixleur Sigma

That is perfect, thank you.
Get the other eXceed games (particularly 3rd), Crimzon Clover, Astebreed, and Reccetear.

Hm...not 100% on prices, but eXceed 3rd, Danmaku Unlimited 2, Croixleur Sigma, and Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae are all worth getting. I know Mitsurugi is only like $2.50.
It's alright, imho nothing spectacular but so far it provides good fun.

About last day deals.
Killing Floor has been daily/flash. Now it is a daily with 50% off until the end of sale.
Does this mean there is no chance for it to become an encore with the higher discount it had on daily/flash?

Payday 2, by far the best game I've bought on sale.

You guys are awesome. Now I'm standing here like a kid in a candy store. Why did I spend so much this sale ?!
Sadly it's a cyclical thing. PC gaming in Japan has been an extreme niche for decades. While things like Steam and massive sales could do a decent amount to expand that audience, I don't think the current market could support the kind of price drops we are used to. When you have a limited audience, you need to price things higher to make the same amount of revenue, and extreme niche markets tend to be more willing to pay premiums for the things the like (which is why moe/ecchi anime Blurays go for so much in Japan). If they were to lower the prices, it would likely eliminate the cash cows keeping Japanese PC gaming afloat, without increasing the market enough to compensate. Remember, very few people in Japan have "gaming PCs", and even many who play PC games regularly are playing visual novels and doujin games that have incredibly low system requirements.
Just tried to trade with my brother and it won't let us trade anything. Won't let me even start a trade, it gives him an error when trying to send trade offers, and he can't start a trade with me.
I can only hope Valve looks at this system again, there has to be a better way.
Last Remnant is still quite cheap. However you should only consider this if you are willing to spent sometime outside of the game to really get familiar with its combat system. Other than that it offers your typicall JRPGish slow start and somewhat stretched out storyline, but if you understand its game mechanic it can be really enjoyable. I don't remember the story too much, but I believe it was one of the less cheesy ones I have seen in a JRPG, but I could be wrong about this.
One would think so but who knows how Konami handled this release. They're probably not too familiar with Steam either way.

I have Summer #1, 10
Need: There is no Crane (batman aa), The Heavy (worms revolution), arcane element (magicka) or Energizer Concept (anomaly warzone earth).
1:1 or you can have both for 1 card. I don't really care.

How did I forget Last Remnant?! I have that too and it's amazing. Really wish I had more time to set aside for it.

Pheew I dodged a bullet. Very lucky that this specific 10 year old game has Steamplay.
I have Arcane Element, I'll add you.

I noticed even if trade offers give errors they can still end up being registered. Check your Sent/Incoming Offers.

All games say that. It just means that it is the most expensive possible price you can get it for during the sale. It could be given an encore, although I'm skeptical.
Is this the game save manager? http://www.gamesave-manager.com/
Yeah. I'm liking it. Even though I did have a guy rage quit on me after we failed to stealth the bank heist Lol.
I warn every I play with that I'm new.
Yes.
Yeah I did just notice that after he sent them, they appear for me but as soon as I click on them I get the standard "You are using a new device, no trades for you" message
Seems like it is.

Maybe Steam is trying to teach us a lesson about climate change: stop burning money on coal, it's better to spend on useless cads.
Noitu Love is swedish, bro. SWEDEN!
Trading tends to be iffy during the sale for everyone so it might work if you try again later. A bunch of people in this thread were market banned and were still able to trade, although it's possible that you received a different type of ban. :/
Thanks for the insight. It's a bummer but at least it's getting a bit better in the West.

Hm...card money is running low...what $2 game to get to close out the sale, okay-ish game with stupidly valuable $20 wallpaper (Akane the Kunoichi) or genuinely good game (Card City Nights)?
...it's a shame I actually have to ask this.

Ah, ok. Thanks.
So you advice waiting till encore starts. Makes sense. But when does encore day start, european time?
Also, is Sanctum 2 worth it if you already own Sanctum 1?
I wish you could still win games for crafting the summer badge, or coal to craft and have the chance at more games.
Gives you more incentive to participate.
