So I have a few backgrounds and emoticons.Some are selling for $0.7 in the market or for 80 gems.

Q1. Should I turn them in for gems or just sell them? And what should I do with Gems actually? Bid and buy games or create boosters? All of this is really getting confusing for me so please if anyone could explain me simply :)

Q2. And should I wait to craft badges until the sale starts on the 18th?

Thank You..:)

Q1: Sell them, get $0.7, buy pack of 1000 gems, craft booster pack, sell booster pack for $1+, buy more gems, repeat, profit?

Q2: Wait for the main event. You don't know if you may get something extra out of it yet.

Know what? I have already sell 3 booster packs, one for nearly $1.2, the other 2 for about $0.8 each. Total spent? Less than $1.3

You can craft F2P booster packs as well, you know? And they are expensive.

According to Steam, there are only three F2P games which offer trading cards:

  1. Dead Island: Epidemic (0,42 € - 0,55 €);
  2. Dizzel (0,27 € - 0,48 €);
  3. TOME: Immortal Arena (0,18 € - 0,52 €).

The prices in brackets are the top buy requests and sell offers. I don't know about the other two, but the DIE booster pack costs 1200 gems to make which are currently worth ~0,68 € (0,57 x 1,2). If you wanna sell it right away, you have to settle for 0,42 € of which you personally see 0,38 € (0,30 € loss).

I've yet to see a booster pack that's worth investing gems into.

You can't never be so more wrong... I can name at least 3 other games with cards which have price for each pack (three cards) varies from $0.8 to $1.2. But it true, it is not profitable if they use € in your store.

How would you buy a pack of gems?

0.57€ gem pack price vs community things that give 100 gems each, which is 0.07€*10 = 0.70€, conclusion, not profitable. is better selling your emotes and backgrounds, and if you want gems is cheaper buying the Gem pack.

Oh, I misread your sentence. I thought you said it was €0.70 for a gem pack.

I'm not even bothering with that stupid auction. I'm almost up to $5 selling gems. I thought gems were going to be worthless once put back into the marker, and crafted a few boosters with the ones i had, but then i saw their price skyrocket and chose to sell them. Have sold them @ 62-65 cents each ($.72-75 with fees)

With the $5 i've made i can get a decent game, no need to bid on it. I still have 64 holiday cards. Waiting to see if their value increases during the sale. If i sell at the current price, i can get $12.

You should sell those cards right now and get 12 dollars. The price of holiday cards drops dramatically during the holiday sale because everyone will start to get them for free for voting on what game deals they want next. Of course I'm assuming it will be like past years.
