What do you (plan to) do with your trading cards?
the cards are going to take a while to sell, especially with unknown cards, I say try to sell them all. After like a month just use them to level up if they haven't been sold yet of course

Personally I stash everything in ArchiBoT, but I wrote a bunch of code for myself to get enough cards for SteamTradeMatcher when winter sale comes, so I can craft badges from small part of that, while still having lots of cards for helping entire STM with ArchiBoT.
22:41 Archi: 22:36 - ArchiBoT: DEBUG: I'd send total of 3830 items from 462 different games (checked optimized number of 786 games in total from grand total of 2343)Comment has been collapsed.
according to steam.tools, my cards were worth over 600 euros.
See? The almighty Lord of Profitz™, konrads6, was right!

It's true, but I know I won't get that much.

It used to say over 600 euros, but now I listed most of my inventory items on the market.

It's not, i don't know the tool, i don't even know how it it works and calculates but if it takes into account and comparing some foils people put up for $50 then yes i can imagine how it would add up, what people asking for doesn't mean people sell it for.
I got 1000 more games then you (and from the same country) while i crafted to level 75 too i can't give a good estimate but it won't be near 600 euro. Though i also got 2000+ cards still to sell and be'd easier to just find someone who buys in bulk.

i get around 30€ every month from cards. if you add up all the cards since that feature was introduced, 600€ is not that far fetched.
Comment has been collapsed.
How does it say 600 when for me when i click your link it says 232 euro?
Wish mine was really 300 euro, i think i'd might get 80-100 on just the cards, if i am lucky.

it only counts the value of inventory items, the once in the market are not counted

Didn't read that, but still. Oh well, Time will tell what he gets.
Comment has been collapsed.
its not 100% correct. due to it not updating its prices every minute and as you said cards with no demand that people put up for dream prices. BUT, it helps and usually the value is somewhere +- 10%
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks, so if my value says 280 euro, you really say i could get 250 the least? Still seems alot while expecting like 150 max.
In the process of selling them before next sales myself.
Comment has been collapsed.
As said due to the stuff i mentioned above. if there are 4 foils each at a price of 50 in your calculation it will be hard. but normally yes something around 200-250 you should could await.
This page is more as help for trading to determine fast approximate values. Not to get 100% correct numbers.

You need to click the "fees" button as well. Then steamfee is substracted. Since you see the most expensive items on top, you can easily judge if the price is unrealistic or not.
Still you might not be selling each card for its current price, but you might even sell some for more. Overall their value is correct (if you count out "50$ outliers").
Comment has been collapsed.
Didn't know about the fee button, but ouch 78 euro on fees, that really adds up.
Found someone to trade 40 euro worth for to bypass some of that, might just stick to spend those 40 euro for the sales and wait till i can find more trades.
Comment has been collapsed.
jeha the fees really hurt. Thats why I only sell cards above 0.08€ and keep the rest ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
I sell over 15 cents, still hoping for some grand Badge Event that will inflate cards price and make me RICH, RICH, RICH.
First sale with cards, first day, even 50 cents for card. Good days, good days.
Comment has been collapsed.
Jeha, started with 20, then 15, then 10 now 8 ^^.
But I sell cards (currently) worth 0.06 for 0.08
0.07, 0.08, 0.09 for 0.09
That way its sometimes a bit slower, but the cards sell eventually ;->

Do you have complete badges or only X ammount of cards from each badge?
If complete badges sell them for CS:GO keys for higher profits, if not, sell on market or whatever.
1key = 7Badges
272keys (600€) = 544Badges
Fun Fact: With 544 badges you can boost your account all the way to level +-109

That's 54400 XP, meaning more like around the level 100 range, factoring in the community and collector badges, but not he possible other optional ones (Beta, dev, event…).
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm the other way around, my main account collects level 5 badges. And my alt's card stocks is used to help others get badges. For some reason I found this less of a pointless collecting thing than hoarding games, since games could be played, therefore "go to waste", but badges have no use other than sake of collecting.

Purely for profiting it might be worth crafting cheap badges with high value emoticons tied on alts. eg. Grass Simulator has(had) 5€+ emoticon and cards were cheap.
Comment has been collapsed.
That is so reliant on RNG, I don't think many would attempt and actually profit from it. I tried a similar thing once, a game had a really expensive heart emote out of potential 4, and it never dropped from 10 badges. Not to mention that Steam RNG seems to be anything but statistically balanced on a smaller scale, as I regularly had boosters when they had the 3 exact same cards, even if the set had 15 of them. (But looking at the market, it is common to find games where one card may have up to twice as many offers as any other from a set.)

Sell, invest in easy to sell profitable items (eg. CS:GO) and then sell those once they go enough up in value then buy cards, games, or invest again.
Comment has been collapsed.
I would guess if you sell all you would gett about 250-300 euro + your current steam wallet.
20 cards are usually worth +- 1euro in my experience.

I can trade with you for my games... I'm in opposite situation i just started leveling up on steam and i want cards.

What tool is best to automatically list cards? I have a few hundred cards I'd like to get rid of as well in the upcoming winter sale
Comment has been collapsed.
One sale, sale cards were like 18-20 cents i think, bought a bunch and factor that in, but the next sale, sale cards were like 11-12 cents, lost a bit.
You looking for more bulk cards? :p You know you want to get the new max level.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm, with that many cards, you should have a lot more than 100 badges ready... :) Don't forget to make a second account to idle all your bundle leftovers... :)

I've noticed the STM thing has trouble when you own a lot of cards - if it's only finding trades for games beginning with "A" "B" and "C" you know it didn't scan your entire inventory... :)
There's also http://www.steamcardexchange.net/index.php?inventory - it's not as easy as one click on the STM bots, but if you have time to check all your badge pages you can find a lot of trades that way. :) After several hours it looks like I'm down to only ~80 badges that could use trades, getting ready for the Winter Sale... :)

You can only sell half of your cards in like weeks, after that, half of others will stay there for longer. You might wanna remove them then, and trade them with sth else instead.
Comment has been collapsed.
Good luck! The clever people sell their cards, since you can't play "badge" ... :)
I used to try http://steam.tools/cards/ until it stopped working for me... :( Apparently if you have too much junk in your inventory it fails. :( Same problem with http://www.steamtradematcher.com/tools/fullsets - usually have to try it a dozen times before it works... Oh well. :)
Yeah, just tried again, it says I have 5998 trading cards, but checking the inventory myself shows 23354. :(

I set up a script that gathers values for trading cards and recommends cards for me to sell/buy. Did it mostly as a means of learning how to manipulate arrays and placing data in SQL using PowerShell. So far... it's worked pretty well: http://steam.tools/itemvalue/#/kasurot-753

Use script, set all 0.01 lower than current price. Confrim it and wait. Enjoy extra money. Done

I thought about selling my cards, but the sheer amount of work involved in trying to selling that many cards just isn't worth the small bit of money I'll get in the end..

Craft badges and level up every summer and winter, then sell the mystery cards, emoticons and backgrounds and buy games from the sales getting best of both worlds.

I'm trying to collect 300 full sets before Christmas
I have more fun playing with my Steam profile than actually playing my Steam games, so I'm the dummy that buys your cards :^)
Comment has been collapsed.
I've been collecting cards for so long now.
I used to use Idle Master, but when ASF got released I've been using that ever since.
Plus having over 3000 games in my library, resulted in thousands of trading cards in my inventory.
I had no idea what to do with them.
I was using steamtradematcher to trade duplicate cards (with profits) and occasionally craft a badge.
A while ago, I saw that according to steam.tools, my cards were worth over 600 euros.
Then I have been talking to friends and as steam sale is coming soon, I finally decided to get rid off them all by selling them to the steam market.
Thanks to various tools, it's pretty easy to list them all on the market for the right price.
But it's gonna be hard to sell them all.
Wish me good luck!
