  • And it is not your money. Everyone wins.

    I'm okay with it. Last sale I got $10 from cards. There's a whole network of bots that just buy these cards up for other people to buy from them. Apparently buying cards and selling them you can actually make some sort of profit.

  • Im going to get on a 2 o'clock train, but I'm not leaving until after the sale updates at 1.
  • Well, Valve gets whatever their cut is on the game you buy (unless it's a Valve game), plus the transaction fee.
  • Valve gets a cut of everything that goes on in Steam.
  • Pixel Piracy seems interesting. Still not buying it.
  • Yea, I love 50% off early access games, already majorly discounted and not even officially released???
  • I really want some of the couch versus games to go on sale like Towerfall and Samurai Gunn. Maybe Sportsfriends would be nice but I think I would just buy that on PS4 so I can play Joust easier.

  • Flotilla for $5 isn't a bad deal.
  • I played Prison Architect obsessively for a weekend. Its pretty fun. They've added a decent amount of stuff since I last played it so I need to go back and play it some more.
  • I crafted the badge once. Those tokens for switching teams are also selling for stupid mad money.
  • I picked up Risk of Rain in a flash sale because it seems up my alley.

    Right, my point is that if you spend $5 on a game, unless it's a Valve game, Valve only gets a portion of that money. So if you add $5 into Steam wallets by buying stuff, you're probably not making Valve a full $5, only a portion of that.
  • $5 Ducktales: yay, or nay?

    30% to be specific.

    Yay.
  • I just sold all of my steam cards to get about $3 so I could buy Grid 2 and all of the DLC for ~$9. I regret nothing.
  • How do you sell steam cards? I've been trying to figure that shit out forever.

    Inventory > click a card > sell. I just went through all my cards (I do not know or care what other utility they have) and dumped them all on the market, and just made about $4 for two minutes of clicking.

    EDIT: Thinking about spending that money on the Age of Empires II HD version.

    Also, when you click the card in your inventory, it will show you the current market price, so you know what to undercut by a cent or so. Remember to type your price in the right-hand box, the left box is what you want to get, right box is what the other guy pays.

    I've just been letting games(usually two) idle in the background while I'm working, and when all the cards are dropped, switch to another game. Then just dump the cards on the market, and you're laughing.

    Also, if you go to Your username>badges, it will tell you what games you have that are eligible for card drops, and how many drops left for each game.

  • I always wonder who those random people are that buy a background, a card or item for $20 or more. The most surprising was when CS:GO had the new gun skins and knives were being sold for hundreds of dollars.
  • I think those people are laundering money.
  • Games with DLC are being priced strangely.

    Right now Skyrim Legendary is $13.59. If you already have the game and just want all of the DLC the price for all three is $22.47!

    Yesterday their was a game that was on sale for $0.99 but the four pack was still $15.
  • FWIW, buying the Legendary Edition just updates your copy if you already have the base version. You shouldn't end up with two Skyrims in your list.
  • NS2 flash sale, but I don't think I'll ever play the game at this point.
  • I have Skyrim, and I would buy all those DLCs, if only I actually finished Skyrim in the first place.
  • Not worried about having two copies. I just find it interesting that certain items that are on sale are not equally on sale when purchased in different packages.
  • Yeah I considered the DLC but I'm sorta done with Skyrim. The amount of content is cool but I just sorta got overwhelmed with it. Did a few things I wanted to, explored a bit, and figured that was good enough.
  • When a card says "selling at $0.27 I want to sell it at $0.26. Should I put the .26 in the "buyer pays" or the "I receive" box?
