I am having a hard time processing the value of HB monthly games. Some are low in value and some are high in value. How does everyone determine the value of a game in a HB monthly especially for September?

Like how to determine the value to make sure you have a fair trade? How to determine how many tf2/CS:GO keys it is worth whether it is a CD key or an HB link

Well idk the other people but when i buy a bundle game i determine the next things.

-how many times was bundle before
-what tier of the bundle is it
-what's the lower price in steam sales of the game (in case was never bundle before)
-how many of good games have the bundle
-how many people are trading it

and after that i decide how many i want to pay.

example:

game 1 it's bundle for first time and the lower price of steam was 5$, the guy payed 15$ for the full bundle so i will not pay more than 2.5$ depending in the full bundle etc... if hte bundle have a lot of good games i will want pay less because he can ask a bit more for each game.

Yeah and when everyone would want to pay less because of that? Then he can't ask a bit more for those games aswell...

if all people sell one game for example at 5 cards later or soon people will start to buy at 5 cards......
it's like trading in MMO if you have patience you sell more expensive. whit trading bundle games it's the same.

i saw people selling games at 20 cards when i buyed the same game from another person for less than 10 cards for example. it's more, more than half of my library it's buyed VS cards i won whit my games and traded games.

I think the point is, for example if a bundle is $5 and it comes with 6 games and they are all good games people might be willing to pay $1 for each game, but if the bundle only comes with 1 good game and the rest are just ok and people might only be willing to pay $0.5 for those then you'd have to pay $3.5 so at the end there's the same amount made from both of those bundles. The amounts are just examples maybe some people are willing to get less amount of profit in the bundle and some might want to make more.

Supply and demand, pretty much. SOMA was easily sold for 3 keys since people really wanted it and it resulted in high prices. Grim Dawn right now has prices ranging in the 2-4 keys territory, but many sellers are asking prices a lot of buyers are not okay with. WWE 2K16 in theory should be an at least 2-key game, yet you are lucky if you can sell it for 1. Funny enough, that typing game seems to be more popular, even though that is a much smaller nichΓ© market.

No, Epistory. Banner Saga's price is low since the first game has been on massive sales since summer.

If I want to play the game, I activate myself. If I don't, I give it away.

Or is this some goofy trading ish?

How good the game is, what price, bundle tier, how much people want it. If I'm completely unsure I might check what others want for it.

I bought WWE 16 for 2.50$ (fair price in my opinion) and SOMA for 6.00$ (bit overpriced but that's the price it's going for atm) Wouldn't pay more than 6 USD for it better wait for a 75% off IMO.

Just use g2a as a reference. Not all games within any given bundle tier are going to have the same value either, it all comes down to supply & demand for each individual game.
