I wouldn't be surprised if they thought of that and put up a safeguard against it. Like taking the stats of the buyback, and putting a few of the most popular games on a blacklist so it won't ever go on sale, or make a 25% sale only.

If full price/past prices were applied: Sure. I got most things at steep discounts/free so I could just re-buy what I really wanted and pocket the extra cash. All in all I spent less than $200 on Steam and for Steam keys and my account is worth somewhere in the ballpark of $2,000.
If marked down prices/discounts were applied: Probably not. Would depend on the amount I get back and would have to re-spend on what I wanted to keep.

Full price? I almost never pay for games that are less than 75% off, so that would be a HUGE profit for me. Yes, I'd do it. Then I'd buy a lot of the games again, on a new account and set up a second dummy account to do this to over and over until I was rich.

I'd doubt they'd let open an offer like this forever. Otherwise, people would just make like a hundred dummy accounts, and buy whatever's on sale for that day for the daily deal and sell back the next day for profit. I'd think for this, it would only have an one hour window.

I know they aren't going to do it. I'm just saying if and when Gabe loses his mind and decides to open an event like this, it would be only a short period of time if ever.

Of course, just wait for a seasonal sale and buy all the games you actually want again at no more than half price.

yes.
i've only invested under $20 into my account, so that would be a huge profit

Nope. One reason is because a lot of them were gifts, and I don't get rid of presents like that. I feel that doing so is a bit rude. And I also have at least one game that'd be a bit difficult to reacquire.
