I wasn't aware that regardless of who used the card it would be paid back in full with our tax dollars???????? Being a Congressman must rule!

Let's face it, just from a cursory eyeballing of all the money that was spent on Steam in those scans it doesn't touch what most of us have spent on opening cases.

I spent, er, invested like $25 in stickers this weekend and felt dumb. When I bought my first knife by just playing the market I'd spent something like $50 total on CS, including the game itself.

$800 is loving astounding to me.

isnt this kind of thing self-disclosure meaning he voluntarily disclosed the spending and intends to pay the money back? it's not like he spent your taxes on csgojackpot which honestly sounds like a pretty awesome idea

They are only so expensive because of how expensive keys are. If valve dropped the price of keys, the price of skins would collapse.

Seems like the prices of say, knives, only stay stable because of the rarity and because of the increase in population. If the population stagnates or the rarity goes down, say people leave and start selling off, those worthless pixels will dip quite a bit

See TF2 and Buds.

They used to be the gold standard of value for how much hats and the like were worth. They then crashed in value and barely go for 3 keys. They sat at 10+ keys for YEARS.

Also can I get an invite to the steam group as well? The chat is rather dead nowadays.

In other news, the generic splyce stickers are now up to 62 cents on the market. Pretty crazy price increase considering they were 25 cents and available to everyone a few days ago. Might dump my splyce stuff soon, I remember when everyone thought that renegades stickers from the previous major were gonna be worth something cause the stickers looked cool.

However Splyce is a NA team, and anything related to NA gets a price increase usually.

they had a huge sale in the dota 2 item shop like 3 years ago and one of the items was a super rare mirana mount and they basically crashed the market for that item and people freaked out. Especially the ones who bought like 30 of them right away thinking they would flip them afterwards for a huge profit.

The 15 holos I bought for 1.10 were 2.90 last night. They're 2.30 right now but Splyce will literally never land another major, they're an NA team and their logo is good. The prices will only go up.

e: I'm expecting Splyce stickers to go the way of Titan stickers. Good logo, solid colors and the stickers will become rare because the team will either cease to exist soon-ish and/or will probably never be competitive again. poo poo, even if they do retool and make another major the original stickers will still be worth good money by then. I'm sitting on them for a couple of months.
