Overall, I've noticed that trading cards for really popular games sell for between $0.05 and $0.15 usually. Other games you'd expect less people to play push $0.20-$0.40. Agarest: Generations of War is an example of this. In fact, the backgrounds for this game go for $2-$3 usually. Probably because people want them and they are rare, which I think because most backgrounds for most games sell for $0.03 (effectively $0.01 since Valve & the dev get $0.01 each too).

 

It's strange how trading cards are worth more than the reward you get if you complete them. There would be almost no point in completing them A) If people weren't so completionist and B) If they weren't the only way of actually levelling up your Steam Level.

 

Trading Cards don't go below $0,10 for some reason. Even Half-Life 2, a game I assume everybody in the universe have has its trading cards go for +0,10.

 

Speaking of trading cards, it seems they have updated the design of the market for them to match the Steam Adventure Cards's one, its much easier now.

The stone cannot know why the chisel cleaves it; the iron cannot know why the fire scorches it. When thy life is cleft and scorched, when death and despair leap at thee, beat not thy breast and curse thy evil fate, but thank the Builder for the trials that shape thee.

That's just it. It's gambling basically. Because you get items that, if very rare, could be very valuable. For example, I bought each of the Agarest cards ($0.30 each roughly), which cost about $3.00 overall. I got a background when I crafted the badge that was worth $3.00, so I broke even. Except I didn't. I got free XP, an emote, and a SSS Adventure trading card too. So yeah. It just depends. 

There are items on steam that sell for over $30. If you get very lucky, you can get it. So yeah, it's because they are completionist, but there is potential to break even or even make money/get free games (because you won something worth enough money to buy a game).

Well, no. I have had several cards sell for $0.04-$0.09. They are never $0.03 (minimum value) though. 

Yep. I love it. Now I can mass-buy cards for maxing out the badges I actually care about having. To the Moon was one of them for example.

They are ports, I play on PC with a 360 controller.

 

They were on 360 first I think, they are more 360 titles but run well on PC, good ports.

If you are into that kind of strategy I believe it's the best there is.

Watch youtube gameplay then decide, if you pick one though Enemy Unknown is said to be the better of the two recent ones.

It's a gamble on a fresh game, if you love the game you'll wish you had got the full edition, if you don't then you'll be glad you left it.

It used to be $3.75 on sale all the time but because of hackers they bumped up the sale price.

It's populated with hackers..? Sounds very unappealing now

I was thinking about getting display fusion as well because Windows handles multiple monitors so poorly..... In the end I made a ridiculous pixel perfect template so I can change wallpapers quickly.
