a few Russian friends told me this year's summer sale is gonna start in 2 weeks (June 11 ) and showed me this :
VK-Steam

Google Translate:

Steam Sale starts June 11 at 20:00 Moscow time.
June 20 will begin "Sale Encore," which will involve all the companies that participated in the Summer Sale.
The very sale ends June 22 at 20:00 Moscow time.
The events and other details so far unknown.

vk is a Russian community thingy("Russian Facebook" in other words :D ) and apparently the website is legit but Steam's account there is like a group of some kind and isn't official. "It's just a group of people who gather all useful information concerning Steam like any community group. Later they were giving some proof links (like leaked e-mail screenshots) for the dates of big sales. this tiem they didn't "
thanks CrystalGamer for the info regarding "Steam Public" on VK.

but,it's not he first time these guys have leaked sale dates and other information about steam,seems liek they know what they're talking about.

i've backed two Kickstarter campaigns recently so i don't think i can spend much during this sale,but i'm looking forward to the events...

Update 2/6 :
so summer sale badge has appeared in the Profile Badges Page and by crafting normal badges you will get a special trading card...
at this point i'm pretty sure June 11 is the official date.

Last two times we had those cards, they showed up ten days in advance, I believe. So, probably on the 31st or 1st.

The cards replace coupons for item drops, so they should switch over June 4th. Also, the Apotheon coupon expires June 11th, which is noteworthy.

This past Winter sale was legit the worst major Steam sale I can remember. There were some decent deals, but everything seemed half-assed.

that's in about 2 weeks from now. I have like 66 bucks (24 steam wallet, rest PP) sitting to be spend on more games that I cannot play anytime soon as I'm having a massive backlog already. I hope the sale is better than the xmas sale, I'll be only buying if 80%+ off, no exceptions made :D

I have exactly $13.21 CND in my wallet.
I also have three TF2 keys, one $0.21 booster pack, and six cards worth ~$0.10 each.

Total of the inventory items once sold: ~$8.95 CND.
Total funds available for summer sales: ~$21.16 CND.

The question is...
Will it be enough?

For GTA5? Nope. For buying stuff with -80%? Yes (as there will be none, at least on main sales :P )

hopefully you'll get a enough of a boost from the summer sale to hit 50! i thought there was supposed to be an increased chance of foils every 10 levels but i get foils so rarely it's hard to tell.

i'm currently at 58 and probably have enough sets to get to 60 once i start making badges. turned a bunch of tremor coins into cards today.

meh, not really interested in many games lately and the few i want probably won't have a nice discount.

that short? I thought it lasted into July as I remember the sale going on even past the 4th.

No. It never has lasted that long. Its always about 11 days. Starts on a Thursday, goes through all of the next week ends on a Monday. It has started in July before, but its been in June the last two years (including this year) bc of that Dota thing.

Last year the sale was June 19 - June 30.

I'm interested to see how much effort they put into this sale in terms of community involvement. Last year they had that team thing. Winter's "events" were basically non-existent once the sale began proper aside from crappy cards. I also hated how they went to 1 community choice per day.

I'm also interested to see if they bring the auction back like they had for this past winter sale a few days before it started.

If it doesn't start today (in 5 minutes) the most reliable date I've found is the 11th as well. I think you're right.

No chance its starting today. You can tell the Monday on the week its rumored to begin if it will or not, unless they change things.

The easiest way to tell when a major event sale is about to start (ignoring all rumors and that sort of thing) is there will be no Weekly or Midweek sales. There will still be dailies, but the one on Wednesday will end in 24 hours instead of the normal 48. And if they do Gem Auctions again, dont even need to bother to look for those signs.

Yeah, obviously it's not today. I saw a site earlier that said it could be this week. i've been pretty good at predicting the next sale recently and June 11 is highly likely to be the date.

You dont need to be good at predicting to tell when its starting. It was known on Monday of this week it wasnt going to be today. There are clear indications to its start the week it starts.

vk is a Russian community thingy("Russian Facebook" in other words :D ) and apparently both the website and Steam's account there are legit.

You're almost right. As I know Steam public (or group in other words) isn't official. It's just a group of people who gather all useful information conncerning Steam like any community group. Later they were giving some proof links (like leaked e-mail screenshots) for the dates of big sales. This time I don't see any and it saddens me :(
