The Steam Holiday Auction

Well I made a dollar profit, just craft booster packs and sell the cards on the market, then buy more gem sacks

I made 20$ from selling Booster Packs.

Yey.But I have no gems left so I won't be making any bids.Naaaay.

I got a Term Project that I have to hand out in 2.5 hours, DAMN YOU STEAM LET ME DO MY WORK OR I'LL FAIL !

It's all about the booster pack creator! Sold all my garbage and I'll be converting to gems, then crafting packs of Port Royale 3 cards which sell for like .20+ each. You can only do one game per day though.. anyone else have recommendations on games with expensive cards?

valve eating our wallet before christmas :(

I'm late to the party and cannot purchase the gem packs. I always get an error message. You guys have the same problem?

btw for gem conversion I dont think its the value of items, its how many are in circulation for how many gems you get

Nothing says Steam Event like a sleepless night with 7 hours of classes shortly after.

wow that greed ,Valve only wants to milk some money so they removed the gems from the market :D 100% there was an exploit check out this dude http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198065432513/inventory/ 1873025573 Gems :) LOL now the inventory is private here is a pic: http://goo.gl/rQUqjH

Only 34,000 sack of gems left. Well, it was fun while it lasted.

lol 0 sack of gems

No mention of the event on the storefront, lol. They've cancelled Christmas.

That's all folks!

so why are people hailing valve again?
since years all events were only to make tons of money for them and people still think of gaben to be the only non-greedy person in the gaming industry.

this is why we can't have nice things

I managed to buy 100 stacks of sack gems for the price of 0.45 USD.

Found it to late and my connection died in the middle of the chaos but I still managed to make $3 and gain 2 levels.
The guys that were there from the start are probably rich now.

Aaaand It’s Gone

sooo... i just slept for some hours and it's over already?

Worse than the coal.

Well, managed tro grab myself 50 Euro plus crafted 38 badges from cards too cheap to sell. It was a good night. GN SG! :>

This turned into a clusterfuck and rightly so. No one asked for a bullshit event like this, just launch the winter sale and be done with it.

Before going to sleep last night I bought some bags of gems for 0.24 and now there are gone? No auction, no money, no gems. Am I missing something or they will not refund anything?

Well, looks like gems are all gone. If they don't refund eventually, I smell a class-action lawsuit.

Lol, yep, gems are gone.
What a crap event is this?
Auction bids skyrocketed, I mean I'm pretty sure it would be cheaper to sell your stuff on the market and than buy the game you want.

I got 170 gems from cards, cards I'm sure would sell for around 0.70 euro together. Stupid shit

I just want to make boosters...kinda nice to clean up the junk for stuff
