For example how much cards or gems should I sell games like Sam & Max: Devil's Playhouse, Galak-Z or Road to Ballhalla which have been in tier 1 of bundles? Would be nice to be able to gauge prices better. Thanks and happy hump day :)

Take a look on the prices other traders want on ST.

I usually check what others are asking on SteamTrades. I also can base prices on lowest price available on usual stores (Steam, Humble etc.) and check at what price people are selling it through Kinguin and G2A. Also take the offer of the buyer into account if it's reasonable

Yeah they asked me what I would price the games at so it put the pressure on me to decide. Thank you for the information

Np! Also, I check (through ITAD mainly) what tiers the game has been in and from what sites those bundles were.
If it was in a low tier for Indiegala/Bundlestars etc I wouldn't mind going a bit lower then. But if it was in a higher tier from for example Humble Bundle I mostly stick around the prices others ask.

So say the game sells on G2A for $1, should I ask that amount in cards or maybe half the price listed? Thanks

First, u need to check price on g2a, even if game was in tier 1, like DMC: devil may cry, it can cost more than 3 euro on g2a and that's ok, because it is really good game, but if u see that person is selling crappy tier 1 game for 1 csgo case key, which price is much more higher than on g2a, so better is to buy it on g2a, than on ST

Correct, but should I ask the amount it maybe sells for on G2A in cards or amount in gems? That's what I'm trying to figure out

U should try to ask for a lower price than g2a if u want to get some profit, but asking for a g2a price is fair for both, for seller and for buyer

Ok great. Really appreciate the help as it makes me feel like I'm making a offer that can be fair

G2A isn't exactly a solid option when looking at trade options (as I see people pushing that direction). People can ask for whatever price they want on G2A. It doesn't mean Bad Rats is worth 45$ if its listed as such...

Just my 2 cents.

Happy Trading.

Ok, do you have so sort of way on how to price gauge games? I'm open to other peoples ways. And thank you

Tier 1: 1$/number of games

that's where you should start, then you should increase\decrease the price considering the popularity, the demand, when it was bundled, how many times it was bundled, etc...

1) if an offer is for a game you really want to get rid of, take whatever you can get
2) if an offer includes a game you really want, take it
3) otherwise, look at what other traders are doing
don't look at G2A, those prices can be out of whack
Keep in mind that some traders are crazy, asking much too much. Other traders don't mind waiting years if it means even a 1% increase in price. And traders may not be up-to-date, especially when a new bundle releases and prices haven't been adjusted yet.
Actually, newly bundled games are kinda hard to price - there's usually a glut of supply and a heightened demand at the same time. Some people want to get rid of it fast, some people are willing to overpay, etc. etc. But you can still get a good idea of where the market is.
