Hey, I finally remembered, you can make booster packs with all those useless gems!

I have a mountain of backgrounds and smileys, had to move them out since they were just making my inventory slow needlessly. Never use them. I guess it would have been smart to sell them years ago, but at this point eh... Not going to be worth enough to bother, and they aren't hurting anything... :)

Seems nowadays the sale cards last for a full month after the sale ends, so people don't get screwed. Well, if they buy sale cards they are getting screwed, but it's voluntary... :)

Thank you! :)

Oh, congratulations! Have you taken a look yet? Hope it's fun... :) And there's some other not removed games in here, if you like... :)

Thank you! :)

Hmmmm, wouldn't expect any copies floating around dollar stores to have unused Steam keys, but I guess you never know... Might be something to explore... :)

I suppose people who sell all their cards instantly have the best results, since all these crappy games take time to be removed from the store... Oh well. Guess it's too late now... :)

Thank you too, hope yours is fun! :)

Thank you, hmm, taking a look...

Yes, I remember trying that item value thing years ago, but could never take its numbers seriously. :) I assume it's good for items that actually sell, umm, I dunno, maybe csgo stuff? Hats? But for obscure trading cards it's a bit optimistic... :)

I mean, if people were buying a specific card for $10 all day long, then it's worth $10 by definition. But if some dreamer puts up his lone trading card at $10, and it just sits there, not selling, it's not worth $10. :)

Just looked at my stash of smileys and backgrounds, and that calculator thinks they are worth $4000 total - which is just silly. :) Checking what people are actually willing to pay for some of them I'd be lucky to get $400 for the whole pile. :) So I dunno. :)

I find the cards listing thing to be more useful, at least when it's working. :) I used it to find a bunch of cards I didn't need because I already had the "Level 5" badge, so I could just sell them. Woohoo! Three cents, here I come! :)

Thank you! :)

Seems a lot more people own that 007 game than I realised... :) Oh well... :)

Thank you! :)

Hmmmm, never heard of that place before, looks like quite the collection of removed and probably-should-be-removed games available... :) Reminds me of otaku/gogo bundle for some reason... :) Probably they all buy the same bulk garbage... :)

Thank you! :)

Ehh, look at how much money you get for selling a sack of gems currently... :) And most removed game cards don't give a lot of gems...

So it's profitz, but it's tiny, tiny profitz... :) Hardly worth the trouble clicking on the stuff... :)

Thank you! :)

Thank you! :) Go for the eyes, boo! :)

Ehh, I'm not trying to make money, I'm trying to give away some games. All this talk about gems and removed games and trading cards is a smokescreen. Who cares about gems? :)

Thank you! :)

Oho, November 2012 eh? Now I know where to aim my time machine! Umm, el psy kongroo.

Thank you! :)

Happy new year for you also! :)

Thank you! :)

p.s. Let's just assume the 007 game is terrible, so we don't feel bad about it... :)

Thank you! :)

I agree, making gems from non-foil trading cards is almost always a mistake. :) If they can be sold, even 1 cent is more than the value of the gems you'd get. But removed game cards are so annoying - you can't even get that one cent. :(

So I keep my surplus removed game trading cards just in case. You never know when they will come in handy with vanillabot or something... Spoiler: NEVER. :(

But I've tried making some booster packs for the ones where I still can make badges, and got some foil cards that would be worth a moderate amount of gems - haven't decided what to do with them yet. Guess they will just sit there forever... :)

Thank you! :)

Thank you too! :)

Ahh, I only use steamcardexchange as a 1:1 trading bot, probably missing out on something here... Oh well... :)

Hmm, Pro-Z? I don't know what that is, might have to take a look as I have a huge pile of removed game cards and booster packs I can't use for anything.

Thank you for the info! :)

Sigh... :)

Aha, I was playing Metal Gear 5 recently and heard that song coming out of somewhere, thought that was hilarious... :) It's pretty funny to hear all those random 80s songs again, I kept hoping for the Smiths but no luck. Oh well...

Thank you! :)

Aha, seems you are right... :)

And I think there's a browser addon that automatically tells you about giveaway links on a page, and who knows maybe it even clicks on them too... Never underestimate the power of greed, I guess... :)

Thank you! :)

By having 007 Legends in their library, which seems to be a lot more comm than I expected. Someone said it was very cheap in Russia, so that might explain it. Oh well. :)

Thank you! :)

Hmm, badges you have already crafted? How would that work? If you're talking about the cards you could sell them - that's what most people do, I think.

Good luck! :)

Try your luck with one of the many bots listed at https://asf.justarchi.net/STM - you should be able to find matches for a lot of the most commonly owned games. Not everything, but better than nothing... :)

Thank you! :)

Thank you! :)

Oh, hey, you are right, and the Steam sale ended too... So I don't need to care about stinking badges for another six months... :) Maybe I will spend my last few gems on some removed game booster packs, or maybe I will just say screw it... :)

Thank you! :)
