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! :-)

I won the game, Roogoo, for 1,400 Gems. Was just trying to see how easy it was to win one of the auctions and bid on a low-priced game. Won it and decided to keep the game.

I ve started to buy stuuf from market 14 december with course 0.77 RUB per 80 gems then course grew very fast to 1.07 rub per 60 gems. Crafted some boosters which costed more than gems and continued buying. So i get around 16k of gems for 150 RUB. Then valve opens gems trading and gems cost increases very high. Around 66 RUB per 1000 gems, so I do sell mu gems and get around 1000 RUB. 14 December it was around 50 RUB per USD, today it is 70 RUB per USD

I just sniped The Blackwell Deception with 10 more gems than the top bid, with less than a minute on the clock.

It's the fourth in the series, have been yearning to play it for a while now. With a little luck, the fifth and final game will be discounted significantly in the sale (I've given up on getting it during the auction - price is too damn high)

More importantly, the badge, you guys.

I got Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z for 8252 Gems and Dyad 1800 Gems. Can't complain, actually, since I just converted shit from my inventory, without buying extra gems.

Picked up Heldric, Frederic Bundle, Faery - Legend of Avalon and GhostControl Inc. (which I'm really enjoying) for less than 6k gems total. Still a few others that I'm thinking of grabbing.

Letter Quest for 2.5 - more than what I planned to spend given that the sales are incoming, but oh well, it's cheap enough anyway.

two from my wishlist Edna & Harvey: Harvey's New Eyes regular 19.99 -> 1299 gems & Blue Toad Murder Files regular 3.49 > 710
missed both of them in bundles of the past and the highest discounts on steam for them was 80/75%.....so i think changing ugly backgrounds for them was not the worst decision

URU-Complete, Influent-Chinese, Alice in Wonderland, Clockwork Tales - Of Glass & Ink and Lost Horizon

Had a lot of backgrounds and emotes I didn't really like and need. I searched through my wishlist for games which are seldom discounted or where I would get them through auctioning "cheaper" (comparing to if I would otherwise sold my gems) than with a sale of about 75 to 80% (for example: Alice only got a 50% discount until now and I got it for roughly about 85% off)

So far I'm quite happy and don't really need the winter sale anymore :)
