Snow Globes - profit or loss? [let's hope this will be the last thread about Snow Globes]

i traded 3 snow globes for Hard Reset. I regret nothing!

Thanks to snow globes, i was able to get a buck off arma x. :)

Did craft badges in the beginning to get snow globes, sold them, bought cards, crafted badges, got snow globes and so one, did get half dragon age + binding of isaac out of it. Was more fun to get the money for it that way.
The last days, when the price dropped I kept the ones from the voting, because I had a feeling that they will rise in price in the last hours, dunno why, but I seem right...somwhow.
Let's see if I can sell the 7 last cards, or if Steam just want's to keep their servers shitty till 7pm CET.
Must have been a very profitable encore day. mwahaha
EDIT: HA! Sold 'em, 70ct more for...dunno but it's worth more than expired digital junk.

Why are people trying to sell these for 20+ cents? They should be trying to sell these as low as possible right now. There is around 7500 pages per card of listing over 20 cents. all 7500 pages of those cards will be trashed here in the next few minutes.

Valve, I hope you use all the money you got to buy better servers.

Valve, I hope you use all the money you got to but better servers.

I did pretty good with my snow globe cards. first day or so sold them for 70 cents to a dollar each. early on I was also able to craft game badges and sell the globe cards for about what I spent to finish the badge. between the buying of cards and games and the selling of items during the sale my wallet is down by about $15, but once I leveled up to 30 so once I start getting more boosters and some of my pending items sell it'll help even things out.

Market all my cards. In beginning was $0.62 and all together got $4,89

Got Age of Empire HD with Expansion through wallet and add the rest via credit card

I sold all my cards when the price was high and then buy 10 when the price was low :O

sold a snowglobe #6 foil for 1.09(with taxes) euros and buyed a snowglobe #8 for 0.12 so I have some profit

I crafted all of them, they were free anyway. Now I'm finally Level 20, hooray \o/

But now the question is: what to do with the useless stuff that I got from crafting?
Throw it on the market now?
Hold on to it and then throw it on the market later?
Just keep it and let it collect dust?

For the time being I tend to option 3.

I thought they'll be removed today!?

not sure how much, but i got cards from spending on steam sales for my self and friends.
sold them early for .17-.15 $ got to spend around 5$ on DLC and some badges.
and now i got 2$ from selling a set for .20-.30$

im kinda happy

hahah, Gaben <3
They should be deleted now but miraculously they have +1 hour before deletion xD

EDIT: after 5min Mine cards was deleted :/

HA - steam just keeps adjusting the time for the card expiration.... it's been pushed another hour.

Time was 3 minutes ago now it is 57 minutes from now. Still 18k on average though I think that should be enough for them all to sell or at least for those that aren't putting the price sky high.

Well, the prices just went sky high.

lol i lost a fortune )))))))))))))))))))

The idiots who are buying cards at such prices (1€ and more) ...
But valve cheated with its fake expiration time

50k cards gone in 20 min? lol

I started with $0.00 and made around $23, mainly from buying and reselling. I thought the expiration was according to Pacific Time, Valve's location, so I bought ~$5 more worth to sell at a profit and they disappeared... :'( I was left with $17.79.

Steam Community is not working for me for 10 hours now. I have tried even web browser, restarting etc. Error:-118 all the time!

I don't know if the cards were deleted in waves, and as a result they were being shown as sold,
but look at this screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/5rFThZBtJmm4

How many cards got removed? Like per snow globe type? When I last checked, like 3 hours ago, there were like 70,000 remaining of each card.

Weird that I can still access and buy foil Snow Globes, but the same doesn't happen with regular ones.
