Lost count at this point of cards and tf2 stuff sold and bought, but I have definitely not made a profit.

The best thing I sold was a Professional Kill Streak Shotgun Kit for 14 dollars or whatever. But I just bought TF2 poo poo with it because what the hell else am I going to do with steam money.

I sold a Professional strange SMG for $15 that I was told I was not going to sell ever. Then intermediately after bought a different Professional kit.
Now that I think about it Quake Live coming to Steam maybe could let you buy pro with steambucks, much like with T:A.

What's the most you've ever made selling virtual goods to nerds?

I made a cool few hundred off of Azmodan runs for people back when you could exploit that as well as off of the RMAH breaking pots and selling stuff from Act 4 Inferno back when you could glitch that as well.



In the wild and crazy days at the start of D3, before the RMAH came up, it wasn't unusual to sell a dude gold, have him buy out a bunch of your items on the AH, and then turn around and sell the guy his own gold back. I made a lot of money off of people like that. All told, D3 made me about a thousand dollars during the life of RMT in the game.

Do you remember former epic poster Sid Vicious? Well he blew his money mostly on poo poo like weed and other things he couldn't afford, but they were mostly tangible items at least!

He sounds like a sound investor after what I blew on graduate school.

High-functioning otaku.

I have a courier that's been floating around $70 ever since the end of the spring event. I dunno whether to hold onto it to see if the price goes up or to go ahead and sell it.

Only money I've ever made is from CSGO, probably about £15 so far. It helps cheer me up when I remember how poo poo I am at that game, that at least it's paid for itself.

When my younger brother was in high school he would get his friends playing wow and then sell gold to them at retardedly inflated prices. He didn't seem to play much; I'm almost certain he was just buying it from farmers and then reselling it at a profit.
