well, account selling might be forbidden, but it is still very possible. :)

That's just the total value of everything in your account at its full price. When registering there's no calculation, just a conditional sum.
If game is not in bundle list add full value to sum, if it's in the list do nothing. Loop until the game counter reaches 0(aka goes through the whole library) or sum goes over 100 in which case it accepts the registration.
As stuff get added to the list all the time it's useless to show you how much your unbundled games are worth alone, that can greatly differ in just a couple days.

That's not what he meant(I think), he meant seeing the account value based on the CV formula.
CV doesn't care where you got the game either, if it's in the list it's bundled and if it's in the no-can-make-giveaway-list it just doesn't get added to the sum. But whatever way is used to calculate this it's a completely useless statistic :3

But that already exists..? (Edit: Well, when SGT isn't down, it does. o.O)
CV doesn't care where you got the game either, if it's in the list it's bundled and if it's in the no-can-make-giveaway-list it just doesn't get added to the sum
CV- as in, your contributor value, the total which counts toward increasing your site level- cares very much what list the game is on. Also, free games do give normal value, they're just usually deleted by staff [thus removing their contribution].
If you're talking about that raw total that's listed on SG next to your games sent, then yeah, that's a useless stat, and it seems that any of the more long-standing or invested users ignore that value outright. It seems to be there more to titillate new users than to offer anything of more mechanical value.
Edit:
CV doesn't care where you got the game either,
It occurs to me that another interpretation of that statement exists, if you happen to be confused about how CV works:
CV doesn't retroactively change just because a game changes lists. If you give a game away [unbundled] or [bundled], it will always give you that CV, even if the game later becomes [bundled] or [free]. The only exception to that is when a game was already considered bundled/free at the time you posted it, and the game hasn't yet been updated to that list/deleted from your account.
As such, the site could give you current estimated CV value, but if the Steam API doesn't let them check against the activation date on your account, it wouldn't be able to determine the CV value as per the normal formula. And if the API does allow for that, it'd likely be more site load than cg'd be willing to dedicated to something so unnecessary. And, as I stated in the last comment, there'd be no way to get an accurate CV analysis, since it's doubtful all your games were acquired in such a way that their cost to you reliably adhered to the CV timeline of the site.

Link's broken, you need to remove the backslash at the end.
Also that's the CV for your sent/won games, not your Steam account's worth if that formula was applied there.
And for the second part we're saying the same thing. Doesn't matter where a game comes from, it matters what list it's on. The free part was meant as a way to measure it when we're looking at the Steam account, I know it's just removed here.
And I'm not confused about CV, the problem is SG has a timestamp next to a giveaway so it can compare it with the date in the bundle list, while for this to happen when looking at your Steam account it'll need access to your licenses page, not a part of the public API and rather intrusive which means never gonna happen. So it would have no way to know when something was added to the account, only if it is or isn't there making time based calculations impossible.

The site is just intermittently down at the moment.

Sounds like it, or close enough so. :)
Seems as though I misunderstood you at first, thanks for clarifying. ^.^

Oh, that's my fault either way, then- after Wolfe's last comment I edited in the /newestfirst that it defaults to, and apparently added an extra forwardslash. It should have originally been linked to http ://www.sgtools.info/sent/Username, without any trailing forwardslashes (unless I typoed it originally and didn't notice). Either way, when I looked at it during my previous comment, prior to replacing it, I didn't notice an extra slash, but I apologize if I misread. Early morning isn't the best time for being perceptive, admittedly. :P

Yes, what Wolfedood said below is what I meant. Any game on the bundled list is worth 15% (no matter where/when purchased). Just like how SG figures out "account value" when registering (except bundled games are 0 instead of .15), I figured a similar formula would apply on the stats page.

Okay, so you're not interested in any sort of precise/accurate calculation of your library value as per the CV system, just a "what would my library be valued at in CV if I won all these games here on SG, at this precise moment" calculation.
Like Wolfe mentioned, it seems a completely irrelevant statistic (which means it'll be hard finding support for its implementation).
That said, since the account calculation is already coded in, it'd presumably be very easy to copasta that function, tweak how it values now-bundled games, and have it report the adjusted value.
Still, for something that niche, it'd be more suitable for an outside resource (eg, scripts), which is generally SG's approach to covering even fundamental site elements. You may want to ask Knsys if he can add it to SGTools without too much hassle (and if he'd be willing to do so), since SGT has the same account syncing elements SG does, and so should be able to implement such a function fairly easily.

I certainly agree with you on the irrelevant part, though the account value listed there is just as irrelevant (free games worth face value as an example).

just asked that myself - inner voice#2 replied: ain't worth a damn

when i registered here, my account had to be at least worth 100$ and i saw how much it was worth.
can I find out how much its worth by now somewhere in the menu?
just curious how much money i blew out the window for games :3
