Just buy whatever game you want! Holy moly. I got 10k gems for $1. Gem bag prices are going down like crazy. Edit: Back up to $.25 or so right now.

But not now, later, when people are desperate to snap up the last few copies left in the auctions.

So with the power of lag you can dupe your gems! From 72k to 144k  And again  Requires a browser, clicking on an item to bring up the confirmation message, then quickly press on another item which brings up another confirmation message and click on on that too. It's pretty random.

Just buy whatever game you want! Holy moly. Eh, you can usually make decent money with very little time/effort if you get in early enough on these stupid gimmicks. I ended up turning like $15 worth of Steambux (all from trading cards) into close to $100 of Steambux during the summer sale. It's kind of fun when your seed money is fake money.

If Valve thinks they can convince me to get rid of my Summer Getaway Sale Football Manager 2013 card by turning it into gems, they're sorely mistaken.

The non-transferrable item which turns your profile snowy and deletes itself in January is up to $75 (assuming a 3¢ = 100 gems exchange rate).

Anyone know much about the two recent Need For Speed games (Rivals and Most Wanted)? I want to race a buddy or two but want to make sure AI cars are included in the online races. One of the few things I didn't like about Burnout Paradise was that if you played with just a couple of buddies, there were no AIs racers in the races. Also it seems like Most Wanted is more well-liked than Rivals, right? The powerups in Rivals seem too arcadey for me - are they absent from MW?

Is it even possible to buy gems, I keep getting errorsSuspect Bucket posted:Hey! I just bought SpaceBase DF9 on the DoubleFine sale I am sorry to hear that.  vmdvr posted:Use that two bucks to buy 3 or 4 cent backgrounds and turn them into gems. Save gems until the last day of the auction. You'll come out ahead. At this point backgrounds cost more than gems. Im_Special posted:So with the power of lag you can dupe your gems! I don't think this actually works. Unfortunately. I'd have liked to get Valkyria Chronicles or something that wasn't absurdly overpriced.

Community > Market > Click on an item (for example the bag of 1000 gems) > Click Buy, set price and number of units you want to buy > Wait for order to be fulfilled ^Edit: Guess you figured it out?^ Edit 2: Okay that's strange. My buy order is gone, the market page now says I have no (0) buy orders, whereas I had 1 before. Guess it's just a glitch because Steam is getting pummeled. Edit 3: Looks like they've cancelled buy orders for the gems, along with removing the gem item, probably because of the dupe thing.

Anatharon posted:At this point backgrounds cost more than gems. I'm doubting it's even possible to buy gems, I placed an order at one point and it sat there until it disappeared and didn't give me poo poo. Didn't take any money away either, so at least there's that. Also this is great if you're lucky enough to have games in your library with small cost for booster packs and high price for cards. If the game has like 10-20 cents per card, and only costs about 600 gems, then you can spend as little as $.06 (if you can actually buy a bag of gems) or as much as $.14 to get up to about $.60 My only regret is that you can only get one booster pack per game per day. I'd love to get $20 or so for the upcoming Steam sale through gem speculating

Downs Duck posted:Community > Market > Click on an item (for example the bag of 1000 gems) > Click Buy, set price and number of units you want to buy > Wait for order to be fulfilled I thought that was just regular buying. Is there no way to use the old method of buying now? King Vidiot posted:I'm doubting it's even possible to buy gems, I placed an order at one point and it sat there until it disappeared and didn't give me poo poo. Didn't take any money away either, so at least there's that. It seems entirely arbitrary what something's worth. Like, my Awesomenauts trading cards were worth 8 gems.
