Official Christmas steam sale thread

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

I'm ready to spend money and buy a shyt load of games that I will most likely never play

I'm ready for them rocksmith dlc to go on sale...

Any $$ I save would be amazing...got dat Hendrix dlc dropping tuesday

BTW No chance of happening but I wish the fukking knives in CS:GO went on sale... a stattrak knife is like $150+

Valve might have to shut this down early...

yep, now gems are "Not Tradable, Not Marketable"

but not before I got a order for 100 sacks to go through

 

[daze23]

so if I flip those gems into booster packs and sell them for more than 3cent...

 

[daze23]

they really shutting this down. there's no longer an option to change shyt into gems. right after I bought 10 summer skulls I almost bought 100

the auction is also no longer on the front page

edit: can't make badges from gems now either

this is why we can't have nice things

edit 2:

Sorry, but there have been some issues with Gems and the Steam Holiday Auction has been temporarily closed. The elves are working frantically to get the issues sorted out, and the auction will start again as soon as they're done.

I can't even update my credit card info right now. Steam is all fukked up over this

Could this be the 1st steam sale that I don't cop anything

 

[Uh Oh]

I spent all my gems on booster packs shortly before they took the event down. Now I have a shytload of cards. I don't know if I should sell them now or hold onto them to sell/craft later during the winter sale

 

[daze23]

...hold onto them to sell/craft later during the winter sale

this was my thinking. I got a few badges ready to go, buy I'm gonna wait to see if they have something during the sale that depends on crafting badges

 

[daze23]

what a mess this was last night

 

[Uh Oh]

this was my thinking. I got a few badges ready to go, buy I'm gonna wait to see if they have something during the sale that depends on crafting badges

I crafted five badges last night because the holiday cards are now available and I didn't know if the card prices would bottom out or if there will be another event during the sale. I hope they dont reset everybody's inventory to their pre-auction state. Would be a lot of time wasted

 

[Uh Oh]

I think I get to keep all those boosters I made

 

[Ciggavelli]

I couldn't help myself. I already crafted the winter sale badge

 

[Ciggavelli]

I know it just came out, but the "Talos Principle" looks good as fukk. I hope it goes on sale. It's 10% off now, but I want more off obviously. "First-person puzzle game in the tradition of philosophical science fiction." That sounds right up my alley. I love philosophical science fiction

I bought Shank 2 off the Humble Store.

cant wait for this

NOTE: On Thursday Dec 11th we had an issue with Gems that meant we needed to reset the Auction and start over. We apologize for the interruption. Any placed bids will need to be placed again.

• All Gems created by you have been returned to your Inventory
• All Gem purchases from the Community Market have been reimbursed. View your Store Transactions to see the Wallet Credit to your account.
• All previous Auction bids have been canceled and the Auction has been reset.
• Additionally, anyone who traded away items in exchange for Steam Gems on the first day of bidding will receive a copy of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in their Inventory.

my 100,000+ gems turned into 2,823
