• Is it okay to sell your steam account?

I remember steam saying it isnt okay and they can block your account if you do this but then i remember reading a news article on the EU saying it's all good to sell your account? How much is mine worth and can I sell it? [url]http://steamcommunity.com/id/joshdasmif/games?tab=all[/url]

It's against the rules.
It's against your Steam subscriber agreement
[QUOTE=spree;38555216][url]http://www.steamcalculator.com/[/url][/QUOTE] Doesn't give an accurate price, tells me i have 99 games when i have 126
It also bases the price on the games original RRP, not its current. [I]This was my 1,000th post. Awesome and incredibly underwhelming.[/I]
So I can't get an accurate reading on my account and even if I did, when it comes to selling it steam could just close the account?
On the steam website, I think you can click on your name or something and you should be able to see how much you spent on your account along with some other numbers. I doubt that you'll be able to sell it without serious complications though.

The real problem is the value though, selling an account with a shitload of games isn't really worth it because no one will be crazy enough to pay so much for a shady deal like that, there's no guarantee the owner will keep to his word, so i doubt you'd get a good price on it.

[QUOTE=joshdasmif;38555446]i was hoping for about 200/300 or is that way too much?[/QUOTE] It's realistic, good luck finding someone though.
$110-175 at a guess. But the only real thing of value is the fact that you own it. People buy accounts like yours stolen for 40-65, but it isn't a good idea to sell it in your position as you wouldn't make as much as you should. Even if you had a buyer at a decent price, how do you know they're not scamming you? How would they know you aren't scamming them? That said, it is in my opinion that you shouldn't sell it. It's too much to risk and not enough profit.

[QUOTE=joshdasmif;38559226]Good point, think I'll keep it[/QUOTE] If you want to sell the games themselves, you can wait until the used game seller function is in place on Steam. They plan to add it eventually.
This is a much better calculator: [url]http://alabasterslim.com/worth.php[/url]
You can sell your account as long as you don't post it on a valve forum like spuf. I have already done it a few times in the past.
