Actually title says it all. Where does everyone on Steamtrades get game price in TF2/CS:GO/Dota2 keys? I'm always going with Steam store price and just dividing it with 1 key price. But now I got Frozenbyte Collection gift in my inventory (it's 29.99€ in Steam store for me) and people say it's worth only 4 keys. Where is this "price" coming from? Maybe it was on sale sometime few years ago but I couldn't find any information about it being on sale and on how much it cost back then. Sure all games have been on sale individually but it doesn't mean that the collection is worthless if none of them are on sale now and I basically got it just a bit cheaper from a friend (got it for 25€).

Someone please explain me this system that's going on there and how do people evaluate game pricing because I don't understand it.

P.S. Don't be mad at me just because I may be absolutely wrong in my text. Just trying to understand this whole thing...

First of all, always check if those games were in bundle before. Shadowgrounds and Trine have been in few bundles so far, Humble Frozenbyte Bundle or Humble Frozen Synapse Bundle for example. 4 keys is a good price, to be honest, I wouldn't pay that much.

well, that pack is about 15€ at Ukraine steam store, wich means that now TF2 keys are about 1.63€, so I think you could get it for about 11/12 keys at the moment.
If on sale then could get it for less, just have to wait for good chances or try to get the games one by one, as some were bundled and are on the trade market for even some refs.

The game pricing is largely based on the prices that ppl are looking for on tf2outpost. How and why some sames sell so low(sid meiers civilization 5 was 30 dollar in store is just 2 key in outpost) is due to previous sales where traders buy then en masse and then sell it during and after the sale. Therefore some 10 dollar games might be the same price on outpost as the more expensive games on steam.(risk of rain was 10 in store and civilization 30 but both are same price in outpost, with risk of rain gaining in price) hope this helped for you.

Then maybe someone can give me actual price how much it is worth and is it actually worth anything? Just want to see if it's worth looking for someone to trade it to or maybe just giving it away to a friend of mine or here on Steamgifts.

Ah yes, for the price, check what majority of sellers in tf2outpost are selling them for. For worth, u need only know that EVERY game has a value, just depends on sales, seller prices and game popularity. If u want to sell, tf2outpost and dispenser.tf will work.

you can check on this site the last steamsale-discount of any game: http://steamsales.rhekua.com/

and since steam sales ar fairly regularly and most games tend to get cheaper as time goes on, most people aren´t willing to pay more than the last saleprice.

the next point is that there are also a lot russian/chinese/brasilian traders who get their games even cheaper and undercut what you would want.

also let´s not forget the bundles, i think most games in the frozenbyte collection were already bundled, so you can´t really expect the steam-prices to hold up.

you see, there are quite the few points against your high pricing. your only chance for such a high price is to find someone who really wants to play it right now and hasn´t the patience to wait for a sale, and with a game where you wouldnt have any competition.

the link directly for your game: frozenbyte-collection

and it seems i was correct, all the games were already bundled bundle wiki

i would say 4 keys are already pretty generous. i personally wouldn´t give more than 2 keys, and even that only if i´m missing all the 4 games of the pack.

Thank you to all those people who explained more than just "It has been on sale" or "it has been in a bundle". Got the actual idea of how much it's worth. Looks like I'll need to sell some TF2 items to get few more keys.

I use Is there any deal Site which someone posted below to find out some prices of games. The thing is its sort of like a pseudo currency, so the price of stuff is dependent on how much people want it, and how easy it is to get. A lot of people sell bundled games so their not worth much. Other games you will find that people want quite a lot of and so it has a pseudo high price, for example Skyrim you'll likely to find it being quite expensive even through its quite common and has been on a few sales.

Also remember that for a lot of people they are looking for bargains, or even games they may think is interesting, as such if you get a game price and divide it by the key price, then there is no point buying it from you since I can either A) buy it on steam with cash or B) sell my keys on the market place and then buy the games. Either way it would be safer then dealing with an actual person.
