I got $2.22 back with 9500 gems left. Seeing as i put in $4.50, i am not unhappy. I will probably just convert the gems to booster packs.

How about you?

I got $3 back + a couple of free boosters and $2 made from selling booster packs. I don't have any gems at all left though.

Only got back 2000 I had like 86k, that's is shit!!! Also didn't get the money back, but as I made money from the booster packs, I'm not that mad, but it's still shit.

Got back the 8 cents on the one sack of gems I could buy and the 24055 gems that I crafted yesterday.

I ended up with 6230 gems. Plus, I also ended up $8 richer than I started the event. Their fixes didn't impact the booster packs already made (or at least not ones that had been opened).

I understand why they did what they did, but I'm not excited about having to dig through the 135 pages of auctions to try and find the ones I bid on before.

I got my money back and kept the cards I got from crafted boosters. So I still have more than I had to begin with.

Didn't get any gems back though.

Did you have any gems from legitimate means?

The only gems I had were from the market, so I'm guessing no.

wound up getting 1300 total back (and I don't think I lost any cards/etc) so it worked out pretty good for me.

gems were duplicated via exploit and then sold on market.

Apparently, reverting the gems was a simple matter, but sorting out the cards/booster packs was too complicated, so they just let that bit slide. Although, I'd imagine that they killed the any funds generated by the duplicators.

I bought 100 sacs for 0.03$ each, opened all sacks, made booster packs and sold them for profit.I had no gems left, then Valve gave me my 3$ back and 5k gems and I still have the money I got from selling boosters, which is about 20$.

Sooo I made about 25$ out of nowhere, thanks Gabe.

I missed the whole thing. Now I emptied my inventory for exchange of 2340 gems. I think it was a bad idea - it would make more sense to sell all the items for increased value. I think I will get more gems from my secondary account (which I use for dumping everything which I don't really need - keys for MP games, inventory items, all the free stuff I can find, and so on.) Maybe I will reach something about 4-5k gems. But still I am not sure if it will be enough to get one game.

One game, should be enough.

One GOOD game, nope.

imo propably better to buy boosters, sell them/sell cards, buy the game during sale. I was doing some math and all bids i saw were higher than actual cost to make them and cost of the game during sale so..

Well, I am now #19 in line for a very good game (on my wishlist for few months now) And there will be 32 chances per day to get it. I think that it is possible to get it. It will be about 15-20% of net price if I make it (I'm not done with gathering gems yet)

Didn't have much cards and I sold only today. I earned 1€ on my steam wallet, which is nice.

I got me maybe 30k of gems + my 10k during the glitch period. Spent everything on boosters and sold the cards. Made around 5€ till the whole thing crashed.

After they reset the event I got majority of the money spent on gems back (2 out of 3€ afaik) and am continuing to git moneys from the cards. Sitting at 11€ with 4€ worth of sell listings active and a bunch of cards waiting for their price to recover.

Also got me a few badges ready to be crafted (101 pre-event, 110 [and a bunch of buy orders] now) so I'm somewhat content with how it's been going.

As for the amount of the gems I got back - just my 10k thus what I've converted from items to gems.

I've crafted over 7000 gems from my duplicate items, now I only have 60 gems ... wtf valve?

Can anyone confirm if the craged items got restored at least?

I've got too much stuff to check if that happened or not :(

Hmm, that's strange.
I had crafted 10000 gems and sold 6000 of them. After Valve reopened the event, I got back 10000 gems. (and ofc recycled items were not given back in my case.)

Should I even try bidding on stuff or should I trade gems for booster packs?
