How do you sell your Steam trading cards?
It depends. I check their value on market and then decide. For example if card is worth 7 cents I check ammounts on every price.
7 cents - 2 cards
8 cents - 6 cards
9 cents - 40 cards
10 cents - 300 cards
and so on
I will probalby go with 10 cents, unless I want to buy something else and I actually need only few cents, then I will go with 9.
7 cents - 400 cards
8 cents - 500 cards
and so on
I will go with 7 cents.
Also, I check my listings from time to time to know how my prices correspond with current market situation, and sometimes I change them, if cards are in my invetory for to long.
I will also use the occasion to complain of people who set really low prices just to sell cards ASAP. It destroys the market, if we all would stay at some lowest point, people would eventually buy them anyway (well, probably not when they would be really expensive, but I hope you all know what I mean). But no, there is a race for the lowest prices, especially after game was bundled.

It depends on each individual card. How many buyers, how many sellers, number of sellers per each price, history of sales,... I just look at everything and decide what is the optimum price I should set for that card. I NEVER lower the lowest price, that is just stupid. I do call the lowest price when that is the optimum price, but I will never go under it, because, like I already said, it's just stupid to do that.
Here and there I might make a mistake and the card does not sell and I have to lower the price a bit, but mostly I choose the right one.

And a related question - what do you do if you are late to a bundle and the prices of cards have already crashed? Do you sell to the highest bidder (for what is at this stage a few cents), or do you set higher prices expecting that the prices will eventually pick up again?

Personally, if the prices crashed real bad I set a higher price hoping they will go up again.
Takes a while though...

The other day I was selling some trading cards and I wondered: how is everyone else selling theirs?
Do you have a winning strategy that you want to share?
I once used to set a medium-high price and wait, but then I grew tired of having loads of rotting listings in the community market and started selling them instantly to the highest bidder. Heh, patience is not one of my virtues.
