Steam Gems are back on the market

0.84 CDN$ here ... Price is simply ridiculous since most bids are already way too high and we're still 2 days away since the end of the first auction...

What's the market value of the most expensive boosters you can make with one sack after Valve take their cut? In theory that should be the limit. Of course it won't just be the sacks increasing in price, the boosters will be coming down in price as more are created.

In practice people might well go higher than that to spunk it on the auction if they get get dat dere auction fever!

Are they tradeable as well?

Made a little over $2 selling 3 sacks. Prices seem to be going back down.

30 cents is probably bare minimum for the sacks, but probably will stay around the 50 cent range since it costs about that much to craft.

and i wasted 70000 gems yesterday on boosters, now iam sad :(

Here is a list of 470 games and their booster pack prices in gems. I checked some of them, but most of them seem hardly worthwhile after fees and considering the prising price of the Steam Gems.

If they drop back down under .75 there would be some situations where you could buy a Sack of Gems, buy a booster pack, open the pack and sell the cards for profit. The prices of the booster packs themselves are much higher, but good luck selling them as you'll be undercut over and over until it's to the price of the card average tripled.

I think you can only buy boosters for games you already own, so there are likely other boosters available. This is all I had, so this is all I could contribute! If you want to make your own list, you can easily pull the data from the source of the page.

at these prices i am selling my gems to buy cards.. better than crafting a booster pack to make ~40-50 cents worth of cards with possible dupes(while you do run the chance of foils to make money)

.. rather just buy what I want :/

I hope you do know that steam is doing this to make everyone start crafting before the big winter sale? So you will craft all of your badges now and be forced to buy new games in order to craft new badges in winter sale (If you plan on participating).

I kind of like the idea that backgrounds and emoticons are of some use now.

A little but off topic, but does someone know what happens with the gems if I win an auction? If they dissapear, or something?

Does anybody know what determines what an item is worth in Gems? Some stuff is 10 Gems, some is 20, some is 100 Gems. I had a foil card that was 220 Gems, but all the few other foils I have are only 30 Gems. I don't get it.

I hate that you can't find out how many gems you will get for an item, before purchasing it in community market, it's quite a gamble.
