sell cards or craft badges?

Craft the ones you like, sell / trade the rest.

Craft badgers

Trade for metal, after trade metal for tf2 keys, after sell the tf2 keys for paypal = profit. Or sell directly the cards for paypal.

i'm selling most of my backgrounds and emoticons, which usually gets me 1 cent at a time. cards for games i don't like i'm mostly trading to the bots at steamcardexchange.net for cards for games i do like. i also buy some cards on the market when i'm close to completing a set and have enough in my steam wallet. at first i was "playing" all the games i own that have cards so i'd get all my drops and be eligible for booster packs, but then i realized i don't know if i want to keep or collect those cards, so i stopped.

more badges you do = more boosters

Also doing badges you can get some rare stuff that can be sold... your choice.

I'm not stuck for money so I prefer to craft the badges to make my profile look better, I trade cards I don't need for those I do and just sell the proceeds like backgrounds etc.

just started yesterday and made 2.7 usd already :-) this is awsome
