What did you win, if anything?

What's your tactics to make sure you win?

I'm in line to maybe, potentially, if all goes well, win something in round 10 or so... let's see how that goes :-)

Update: pulled my gems out and sold 1k yesterday, and just put another 1k on the market, I'm left with 122 gems now... meaning I didn't win, and will not win, but would've won if I had left my 2k on the game I was originally bidding on (Prophour23, wishlisted).

I see lots of you were luckier, or just simply better at it. It's amazing what you guys are winning! :-)

Resonance - 1601
Memento Mori - 801
Bob Came In Pieces - 780

I still have one more cheap one going that I hope I'll win before its over. Resonance has been on my wishlist for a long time. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware of non-Humble bundles when it was in the Wadjet Eye bundle.

WTCC 2010 – Expansion Pack for RACE 07

Decent enough game for 791 gems. Did it mostly for the Auction winner badge to be honest.

I don't like this auction at all, just because for the fact that you have to "bid" on things. That means you sell all your stuff to afford atleast a crappy game and then you maybe don't even get it?

But if you don't get the game you still have gems which you can sell on Market or turn into Booster Packs.

I emptied my inventory for gems (CSGO items ftw!), created booster packs and sold some of them.
Spent 15 euros on gems on the market, 5 euros came from those booster packs. (15000 gems)
Bought 70 CSGO backgrounds for 4,20 (7000 gems)
The way I see it I got this list of games for 14,20 euros. And I still have some nice booster packs left.
Most of them were wishlist games.

Some great, some not that great wins ;)

Imagine Earth 4050
Memento Mori 2 4300

Stained 1060
Cargo 3 3500
The Blue Flamingo 1250
Gold Rush! Anniversary 3000

And dropped my last gems on these 2 (I didnt care for the price, might have been smarter to sell them)

Schein 2100
Darkwood 7100

I'm done now. Good to see I was able to turn unused steam inventory into something valuable.
I got a bit carried away though ;) but it was fun watching the auctions.

Just Legend of Dungeon for 2500 for me. I used my other 3,000 gems I had from scrapping inventory stuff I didn't want to sell on the market and it sits in my wallet for the games I do want when they hit 75% off during the Winter sale (today?)

it's ridiculous how many gems people are spending, even on bundled games. i "won" a mediocre (according to reviews anyway) non-bundled game for 1100 gems. i might even win it for less but didn't want to risk it since very few copies are left. also 100 more xp and an exclusive badge that i don't give a damn about... well, would be worse.

I got LA Cops for 4,000 gems, which only cost me around 70 cents because I made the gems real early on.

Bid 1000 on Tiny Bang Story just so I could get the badge.

Converted cost for me was 0.30€, which is a good deal, but I didn't want the game to begin with really. Eh.

I got Check vs Mate at 1010 gems. So I ended up getting it for a little bit less than if i had gotten it at 90%, so I'm happy with my purchase.

Half of those are hidden object games. They were my first choice since I'm obsessed with them. After I got them I had all the hidden object games available on auction. Then I proceeded for the other genres. I was also supposed to win Metal Dead during the final bid but they just refunded the gems and didn't give me the game. I wasn't the only one though.

Edit: Just got Metal Dead.
