How big is your wallet?
I'm waiting for winter sale. Hopefully the games I want will be reasonably priced by then.

Last winter sale sucked, I hope they do something good this summer.
Comment has been collapsed.
They won't. Refunds killed flash sales, permanently. Price errors are pretty rare and mostly in countries that have trade restrictions. What we see on day one, will pretty much be the entire sale, except if Ubisoft does that stupid thing where they change which of their games are on sale, every few days.

Oh well, I honestly like summer/winter sale just for the community tasks, cards to obtain and nice badges to craft... and maybe something like the previous comic and its potential ARG.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, that stuff. I didn't think of that. I don't care much for any of it. I liked selling the cards for extra spending money, but I won't be able to do that this time anyway. Stupid trade restrictions.
Comment has been collapsed.
I believe the trade restrictions won't apply in you obtained the card through trade of drops.. I just find it a good Steam hobby to craft badges, of course I try to make profit as much as possible but the collecting always comes first for me.
I'm really hoping for a real ARG this time.

Even tho i cant argue that it cancome in handy knowing the best deal for every game from the start but i kinda miss the 3 tiers of sales each day it was fun and made me feel like a kid again

$19.13. Also, a friend owes me $5.49 in game value.

That's cool, I've got $6.04 and $40 worth of items waiting to sell in the market(I make the peak price and wait for my chance, some have been there for months now).
Comment has been collapsed.
Market items always drop during sales because of people selling low/fast for the sale.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's why I've lowered the price as far as I could for some items with high prices(currently I have 2 backgrounds on the market for $7 with the minimum prices).
Comment has been collapsed.
Generic card prices usually rise, actually, due to increased demand in crafting badges

Humble Bundle's been very good lately in getting me ready for the summer sale

I had 20something. Then I saw the 75% off on The Witcher collection and I'm sitting on 14 now.

My wallet is ready!
But i should stop buying stuff though :)

My wallet is ready!
Ready to be disappointed, that is...

Well, there are only 2 games I plan to buy: Kyn and Hard West, which should be under 10euro in total.

I've been planning to buy Legacy of Kain collection since 2 sales now, gotta do it this time.
Comment has been collapsed.
I only played Blood omen: legacy of Kain back in the day (the top-down one), but a few years ago I tried one of the 3d ones and well... they didn't age well. Buying a modern action-adventure game would be a better idea - unless, of course, you buy them as a collector or plan to replay them for the sake of nostalgy.
PS: On a side note, I see that Kyn has quite a few negative reviews and it might end up in a bundle soon. Well, I will probably only buy Hard West this summer sale.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd like to play the collection, for nostalgy as you said. I've played them years ago and I really loved them, gotta try them again definitely.
I never buy indie games in sales, because they'll be bundled sooner or later, but something like Castlevania, I'd like to buy it in this sale.
Comment has been collapsed.
You played the original Blood Omen? I though the original Blood Omen aged really poorly, very difficult and bad game mechanics. The one thing I remember about the 3D games is that the camera changed mid jump, making you fail the jump, so frustrating :D
Comment has been collapsed.
My two are Stardew Valley and No Man's Sky, neither of which is likely to be on sale. P
Comment has been collapsed.
300 is too much, how do you manage? Collecting good discounts for trading afterwards?
Comment has been collapsed.
Haha, that's more about luck, not everyone would get that price for it. I have a background that was sold for $17 once with no fees, I could sell it right now for $12(no fees).
Comment has been collapsed.
I got 100 brazilian bucks :^)
Comment has been collapsed.
And that's why I didn't include the currency. It's more like making statistics about whether the community members are satisfied with what they have, for example $6.04 as a budget for games for me is so good, because $6.04 is quite a lot here.
Comment has been collapsed.
i have around 0.03, i bet i will buy outlast2 with that.

I'm ready to use my keys to buy games from traders for cheaper prices than the steam store. :B
Comment has been collapsed.
If you buy keys with Paypal for $2/key then that's a win.
Comment has been collapsed.
No need to buy keys. I have more than enough from my previous trades. xD
Comment has been collapsed.
I honestly envy you, I like to make trades, makes me interact with community members more and it's a good hobby(both financially and spiritually). The thing is, I don't really have much to start a decent trade thread.
Comment has been collapsed.
Trades used to be more profitable in the old days. Now prices are up, key prices are down, people are greedy, a lot of steam rules have been added, etc. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh well, I never care about people when it comes to marketing. Any price lower than the actualy real price fits for me, but of course some standards apply like bundles and previous sales, but if someone offers a game for $1 less than it really worth in spite of it being in bundles or previous sales I wouldn't mind, he wants profit I can't stop him. That's why I rarely trade here now, I have all the people I trust in my friends list and they provide me with suitable prices.
The new Steam rules as I beleive were only added to lift the heavy traffic on the servers during sales.
Comment has been collapsed.
$73 Steam wallet here and its if not count some TF2/CS:GO keys, I am fully prepared ;)

my card inventory is ready, once the cards go live.. craft, sell and buy games like a boss..

I've crafted 11 levels last Winter Sale, planning to craft even more this Summer Sale.
Comment has been collapsed.
I went from like 90 to 150 last steam sale, I'm pretty sure I'll get to like 175 or so after this sale.. Still have almost a month to collect cards if the leaked dates are right..
Comment has been collapsed.
The thing I like about sale cards is that they can be dropped during the entire sales time, you could even get a full badge without spending a penny. The leaked date is 23/06
Comment has been collapsed.
I dunno how many levels it will be, currently level 20, but I have ~110 badges to craft, if you count each level badge seperate.
Comment has been collapsed.
I wasted 10 bucks on a shitty game that got retroactively bundled, down to 22$ now
Comment has been collapsed.
That's okay, happened to me several times. The feel of anger and frustration goes away eventually :D
Comment has been collapsed.
$28... though I doubt I spend much of that since Valve really pissed me off with their trade-restrictions. So there's no way in hell I would ever go over that, ever. No more money for Valve for me, till they fix their mess.
Comment has been collapsed.
I really really beleive Valve made these restrictions, because they're into deep shit with their servers troubles and they need them fixed, but since Valve is lazy(Duh, 18 years since HL1 and no HL3 yet).. they decided instead of actually finding a good solution for both ends, why don't we make restrictions to lift the high traffic on sales a little bit?
Comment has been collapsed.
They literally said it's to relieve support.
Cause apparently hiring more support for your million-users client and your support NOT being the laughing stock would be un-Valve... or somesuch.
Can't believe support personal is more expensive than the money they loose on the market and store due to this.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, this is Valve, they have unique thinking, they might even have more reasons, personal reasons(with the support as well).
Comment has been collapsed.
My own personal favorite theories are intention to make a SteamPhone and piling the willingness of the userbase for it, or money stashed from Apple and Google to Valve.
Comment has been collapsed.
Could be, Valve is no longer interested in games obviously, they tasted money and they liked it.

Already bought a pile of garbage in the Humble whatever it was called sale... Hoping Steam's Summer Sale is nothing but 10% discounts on even stinkier garbage so I can ignore the whole thing... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I hope this sale sucks too so I can refrain from spending more precious cash.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well since pretty much everything I want is not yet released I doubt it will fit my 20$ budget even with the sale :(
Comment has been collapsed.
Aren't there other games previously released you'd like to play?
Comment has been collapsed.
I actually went and checked my wishlist. And I realized I am one of the rare cases in which I don't want any games. My top 3 is No Mans Sky and Mafia 3, maybe Battlefield 1. And the first 2 will not be released or will be released too soon for the sale. So yea :D I'm good.
Comment has been collapsed.
Damn, I wouldn't actually pay for any of those games even if I had the money and were on sale. I just don't like big games for some reason, I like indie games and 2d, sometimes retro too.
Comment has been collapsed.
I can understand that as well. This way you will have more choices for the sale :D
Comment has been collapsed.
The real question is: Will there be another minigame like the previous summers?
Comment has been collapsed.
Just go on a vacation where there is no connection to the internet for the duration of the sale.
Also, don't mind the fact that you'll probably spend more on the vacation than you would have on games during the sale.
Comment has been collapsed.
Spend your money before the Steam sale, and you won't buy anything :D Well, that will be my strategy, since I really don't have any money for games now.
Comment has been collapsed.
Tie yourself to a tree.. and hope the sale ends before you realise.
Comment has been collapsed.
If I tied myself up to a tree, I could easily untie myself though.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just ask yourself: "Will I actually play this? When will I play it? Do I really want it?" before buying any game. It always works for me.
Comment has been collapsed.
The problem is I will play them and I do really want them. xD
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't believe you, you can't possible have the time to play every game you want. You can lie to everyone but not to yourself. Also there's a difference between really wanting and thinking you want something.
Comment has been collapsed.
I do. :) Trust me, I have plenty of time. And I really want them, it's not just a thought.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's more than I have :D. I'd be able to get extra $12 now though.
Comment has been collapsed.
Last sale I bought games for ~5€. Without flash deals its not worth
Comment has been collapsed.
nothing, but 35 card sets to craft, which will give me sale cards which i could sale and the gems from the emotes and wallpapers will go on the market
Comment has been collapsed.
I have 0.15 in my wallet woohoo! That could buy me.. Maybe one or two cards. >> I was dissappointed by the winter sale and lack of flash sales and I will probably be dissappointed by this one again, so good news for my wallet? Or whoever else runs a decent sale at a similar time.
