[QUOTE=_Axel;41475596]Mostly to make some quick buck via the steam market, or if you're into that kind of thing, to craft badges in order to level up your steam account. (which in turn allows you to customize your community page) To get them, you just have to launch a card-yielding game and wait for a while, no achievement or anything necessary.[/QUOTE] Ah okay, thanks.
Does anyone want DX:HR? I have a spare copy.
Is it bad or against the rules to buy trading cards at low prices and resell them at higher ones? Because I've kinda sorta been doing that because dammit I want FEAR for free

Must be tricky with the steam fee; The amount of people who sell their card for dirt cheap is incredible right now.

All I do is buy those and put them back up for a little under market price. It's like the stock market :v: (I'm incredibly bored right now)
I'm guessing this is the best place to ask this since I don't know how Steam summer sales work. I heard some games drop in price if you wait a while during it's sale and I'm wondering if that's true. I.e. if a sale for a game that's 50% off ends on July 22nd and if I waited 'til like, July 19th, it would become 75% off or something?
That's correct. Most games will only drop once, but some may drop twice (e.g. daily deals might become community choice deals and vice versa)
I've got $1.29 in my wallet, my friend gifted me Shellshock 2 so I want to return the favor (because that was really nice of him when I wasn't expecting it). He plays a lot of different things, I know he likes the Total War series, we both play the Red Orchestra games. Anyone have ideas? Right now there's a ton of games that fall under $1.29, some good games too. I'd get him a joke game like [url=http://store.steampowered.com/app/45100/]Secret of the Magic Crystals[/url] but it'd be nice to get him something he'll like. I could go half joke and half serious, get him Dinner Date and Iron Warriors: T-72 Tank Commander. Also the Commando games look pretty good. Any suggestions?

Buy him Bad Rats. Everybody loves Bad Rats.

I have 24 hours in ETS2 and it is unironically a good game
[QUOTE=draugur;41475963]I'm just sitting on the summer getaway ones until people use them all in a year or so and I can sell them for big dosh.[/QUOTE] Don't they risk getting deleted by the end of the sale ?
[QUOTE=Ninja Duck;41475935]my friend gifted me Shellshock 2[/QUOTE] Jesus dude. My condolences.
[QUOTE=_Axel;41476016]Don't they risk getting deleted by the end of the sale ?[/QUOTE] The whole 15 p they're worth right now is completely worth the risk.
[QUOTE=_Axel;41476016]Don't they risk getting deleted by the end of the sale ?[/QUOTE] No it says in the FAQ they can still be traded and crafted into the badge after the sale, just that new summer sale cards don't get created. So in a few months they will be pretty rare.
[QUOTE=_Axel;41476016]Don't they risk getting deleted by the end of the sale ?[/QUOTE] If they planned on doing that, they'd definitely tell us. I hope
"Will I be able to craft the Summer Getaway badge after the sale? Yes, you’ll be able to collect the cards and craft the badge after the sale, but only with cards that have already dropped. When the sale ends, there will be no new Summer Getaway card drops." Imma turn a profit here. [editline]15th July 2013[/editline] There are already cards on the market for $400. If you don't believe me, check, there are getaway cards already listed at $400. No one is going to buy them, but still.
Are you sure the price won't drop like with other regular cards ? [editline]16th July 2013[/editline] If so, I know what I'm doing with those 5€ I earned selling regular cards.

As for how much who knows?
I got him Insecticide and Iron Warriors: T-72 Tank Commander. With personal messages he'll cherish. I didn't forget to use 'You owe me' and 'Your turn' as sign offs either.
So I managed to get some dosh, and got those gifts I wanted to buy earlier. Now I have $4 left over. What's good that I can get with that? I've been looking at Human Revolution and Castle Crashers, but I might just go and spend it all on DLC campaigns for Magicka.
I just saw deus ex sale x_x 4.61 for HR + DLC? Good Deal.
Bought: Gmod, Fuel and 4 pack of Terraria so far :3
[QUOTE=Creeper;41475425]I like how UT2004 got cards instead of UT3. Voted for Euro Truck Sim, I enjoy that game far more than I should.[/QUOTE] It was a mistake, they removed them. They're supposed to come out when the Unreal Deal is on a daily (though I believe the unreal deal is still discounted right now to the daily price?)
[video=youtube;RoGxA48HQ1g]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoGxA48HQ1g[/video] We aren't even halfway through the sale. :suicide:
Does anybody still play UT2004? Thinking about getting it, but it's no use buying abandoned game.
Welp bought Eador, seems interesting and not as broken as it was on launch apparently. Wish me luck :v:
[QUOTE=Shadaez;41476483]It was a mistake, they removed them. They're supposed to come out when the Unreal Deal is on a daily (though I believe the unreal deal is still discounted right now to the daily price?)[/QUOTE] Well, at least I got my cards early.
[QUOTE=MaximumDeer;41475780]Does anyone want DX:HR? I have a spare copy.[/QUOTE] Yes please! :D
I've spent the last 2 days trying to trade this copy of Sleeping Dogs I have for Rogue Legacy. I hope it goes on sale soon!
