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! :-)

Subnautica | Samantha Swift Combo Pack | Check vs Mate | Monkey Tales Games | 1953: NATO vs Warsaw Pact

7 Wonders Collection | Pro Cycling Manager 2014 | A-Train 9 V3.0 : Railway Simulator

World of Subways 3 – London Underground Circle Line |

Cost: 42500 gems, which cost me total of around 15€ euros. That's insanely more cheaper than their lowest recorded prices. Selling the gems for money and then using it to get those games on sale wouldn't be enough either. Not even at the russian prices(even if that doesnt matter anymore)

GearCity for 1,900 and Spice Road for 2,400. Both were on my wishlist and worked out to a pretty good price (less than £2 each), so I'm happy.

Got a good amount of swag. I'll do the conversion from gems into what it actually cost me straight away, with current store price in brackets behind that.

Nice to have:
Sacred Gold - 0.64€ (9.99€),
Sacred Collection (Sacred 2 + Sacred Citadel) - 1.05€ (29.99€),
Beyond Divinity - 0.39€ (4.99€),
Spellforce Complete (Spellforce 1, 2 Gold , 2 FiD + all DLC) - 1.20€ (59.99€),
Crusader Kings Complete - 0.42€ (9.99€),
Achron - 0.41€ (19.99€)

Some SHMUPs:
Revolver360 Re:actor - 0.66€ (9.99€),
Crimzon Clover Deluxe - 0.90€ (13.99€),
Super Killer Hornet: Resurrection - 0.27€ (4.99€),
Sine Mora - 0.40€ (9.99€),
Astebreed - 1.53€ (14.99€)

I'll probably never play this:
Ampu-Tea - 0.39€ (4.99€),
Garshasp: The Monster Slayer - 0.33€ (4.99€),
Garshasp: Temple of the Dragon - 0.27€ (4.99€)

I got this for purely ironic hipster nostalgia:
Eternity's Child - 0.21€ (4.99€)

Things i actually really wanted:
Disney Mega Pack (Pack of 15! Disney game) - 7.47€ (102.49€),
Ys I + II Chronicles+ - 1.62€ (11.99€),
Ys Origin - 1.53€ (15.99€),
Ys Oath in Felghana - 1.62€ (11.99€)

I got the Ys games and Astebreed as the last games and it shows - i was tired of the auctions at that point and just splurged gems at it, since i wanted to be done.
Still, i got 36 games for roundabout 21.30€. Pretty good deal.

The rest of my gems go towards crafting booster packs that i sell which net me about 0.50€ to 0.80€ per piece.

I used approx. 1700 gems to win Übersoldier II & Rescue - Everyday Heroes and I created a couple of boosterpacks to complete some sets. Not I'm left with 590 gems.

Right now I got only RaySupreme 3D - 2700 gems with store price of 36,99 Euros. Not bad if you ask me.

I'm betting one more thing. In place nr 5 right now, and I expect to drop in price in next 5-7 hours. After that I'll just add gems. I've got about 2k reserve. It should be enough for the thing which I am bidding right now.

Cyan Complete Pack might be the one auction you get the most value. 8 games for 5,700 gems

PS: last time i posted in this forum was 2 years ago :O but I've been lurking around.

Edit: By the way don't turn cards into gems sell them and buy 1000 gem sacks

Got Ys I & II Chronicles for 4100 gems (around 4 € for a 12 € game so it is like 66 % off, winter sale may be a better deal but Ys often is only 50 % off) and got Life of Pixel for 1111 gems (around 1 € for a 7 € game so it should be cheaper than winter sale). Timing was good but could have been better since I've seen Ys for 3600 gems. But atleast I got them before the last third. It seems prices are rising now since supply is decreasing. Would like to see a summary of the auctions at the hand to check how well/bad I did.

One Way Heroics for a little under 2400 gems. All of the gems were earned by recycling old backgrounds, cards, etc.

I usually fall for any game with a nice art style (which isn't a good thing) but I ended up using $10 worth of gems to win 6 (relatively cheap indie) games. I'm surprised I actually participated in this but some of the games did actually cost less than they would at a 75% sale so I'm content with this.

The games are below if anyone actually cares:
Magnetic By Nature
Viktor
Deep Under The Sky
Jamsouls
About Love, Hate and the other ones
The Sun & The Moon
