Trades eg gems for Cards is it possible and where do you do it

Closed

Well hopefully this is within the rules as I am not organising a trade or trying to sell anything

I have done a few trades 1:1 for cards, but i have also ended up with a small amount of gems, but i can't seem to find anywhere to trade gems for cards, ok let me rephrase that, there are people that sell complete card sets for gems, but i am really only interested in filling in gaps in my collection.

Also Values for card sets they seem to be being sold for 750 gems each (i am assuming these are from the cheapest games? and 5 cards) yet if you break a card down it only seems to be worth 2 or 3 gems.

So after my meandering waffle i'll try and bring it back to what i want

1) What are individual cards worth roughly in gems, i realise there will be variance
2) where can you trade gems to get cards that you need to complete a set.

Thanks

  • You can use gems to craft a Booster Pack if you're trying to complete a specific badge
  • You can trade unwanted single cards into https://www.steamcardexchange.net/index.php?guide for credits and maybe get the ones you want
  • You can't really do anything with very small quantities of gems

The lowest gem cost I saw for boosters are 400 and generally for 12+ card badges.

How much is "a small amount of gems"?

If you go into a certain badge and click "Visit trade forum" to go to something like https://steamcommunity.com/app/483420/tradingforum/ sometimes there will be traders who trade 30-60ish gems for a card, usually there are more posts when a game is being given for free i.e Humble Bundle giveaways.

I think there are levelup bots with that kind of service but you don't get to pick the sets, it gives you random sets you don't have for gems.

Personally I have waited for summer/winter sale event and break down enough items into a sack of gems along with what I already had and sell that.

Only 400 gems, and i have swapped out all my cards that are duplicates, might just try posting an offer of gems for cards on the trading forum now that i have a vague idea of value

Thanks for the help all
