Also a few hundred dollars of TF2 loot. I haven't logged into steam in years. Is there any good way I can turn this into real money? I have never played CS:GO. Pretty much from 2012-2015 I was a loser who played videogames 40+ hours a week. Back then I didn't have any money, so I couldn't afford any new games. The steam marketplace was new at the time so I got really good at manipulating it. Basically, I would sit there refreshing it until I saw something that was selling below market value, buy it, and immediately relist it. Got good enough that I built up plenty of store credit to buy whichever games, and then I decided to buy stuff that I figured was cheap now but would be rare in the future. Turns out, I made some good buys. I largely stopped gaming a few years ago, and these days I don't have a gaming computer. Whenever I play it's just on my switch. Is there any way I can turn this into quick cash? Like, steam just announced a new handheld device. Would it be possible to sell some of the loot and then buy that with just store credit so I can resell it for cash? Looking for ideas tia

There should be a crossover market for weird sex gear, like maybe even poo poo you can use to play video games.

I’ve got about $2400 worth of 2014 ESL sticker capsules, all of which are actively selling in the marketplace. What the gently caress do I need to do to turn this into real money Please help

There is/was a goon who sold steam games to other goons with an extra discount. The goons paid via PayPal and he gifted the games with his store credit. This takes effort though and you will lose whatever you give as the extra discount.

Like, I understand it takes effort and I’ll lose money. But I want the cash. There’s something called the valve index they’re selling for a grand. Is it possible to buy that in store credit? Because if I can, I could just buy a few of those and sell them on eBay for $750 each real quick

"I sure as HELL don't play video games" shouts man requiring help to sell video games in a quest to purchase more game consoles. "Please help me buy more video games by selling these video games but also other than this, my future plans to buy more video games, and the video game console I currently own DON'T accuse me of playing video games because I don't."

Ziv Zulander posted:Like, I understand it takes effort and I’ll lose money. But I want the cash. You could do that but the index isn’t coming out for a while. Also it could be a big piece of poo poo that nobody wants. Your best bet is to just buy a few Valve VR kits and use whatever you have left selling games to goons IMO.

Index is the VR kit, reselling that might be vaguely fast if you can get in on a run. They go in and out of stock often. Also sell your poo poo before you count your chickens. A lot of market movement is money laundering where they are only paying those "going rates" because it's the ID they are supposed to be laundering money to. They need to buy into new stock so you're going to get an inflated rate but I don't think it's as easy as just listing for the same price as the last 10 sales. I'm not a steam market expert I might be entirely wrong, but I remember hearing the whole thing is pretty hostile now if you aren't purposefully laundering money.

Sell each item for at least 30% cheaper than the lowest given price available on the steam market, use the steam funds to buy a shitload of destiny freemium bitcoins, sell steam account to a very friendly Russian

I don't know anything about steam so I installed Augmented Steam and just listed 100 inventory items for like $0.04 each.

super sweet best pal posted:OP should buy Bad Rats for everyone who replies to this thread. I already have it. When I had goon steam friends I would buy bad rats and gift it to them and they were not amused.

also if you try to convert it to real money there is a huge chance of getting scammed. try to buy a valve index or that new valve controller gamegear and convert that into real money OP

How are people buying them but you can't make real money? They use fake money? If so how do you know how much this stuff is worth? Steam marketplace has always been a huge mystery to me. Like what even goes on there? I watched a video recently and I guess someone made money by buying all the cucumber emojis? I don't really get it, it's some weird poo poo

Trade me all of it for some of those steam cards that randomly appear and do ??? And then I'll just give it all away because who cares about that nerd poo poo

I don't get it either all I know is that every few years I list a bunch of poo poo I've acquired without knowing how for 6 cents each and when it's all said and done I get seven bucks off my next purchase.

This is what I just did today. So far no takers even though I set it all below the going price.

Listing all them nerd items on steam. Sorry buddy, best we can do is three screeds from incels and a couple hentai game players posting "good boobs def buy".

if you want cash I think you need to go through a third party trading site. No idea which are legit though.

These are all great questions you’ve asked here on the somethingawful.com forums OP. But now I have a question for you: what the hell is steam?

Out of curiosity I checked my csgo skins and I have about $200 worth. I have absolutely no memory of how or when I would have gotten them.

Lol, I went to start selling today and because I had to gently caress around with steam guard to get access back to my account, I’m locked out for 15 days. Oh well, not much to be done other than wait Closing the thread for now
