Card market is entirely commodity system now

While I don't dislike it, I'm not sure which is better or what consequences this will have.

well, i like it. instead of raging and spamming F5 to get a decent price on a card, now i can leave the order there and the magic happens.
also if this stops market bots, somehow, better.

cheapest listing getting automatically matched to the highest buy order. no more transferring money from one account to another by buying cheap stuff for 100x price

I like it. For items that can't be modified (eg. trading cards, Dota 2 player cards), this system works wonders. But for items that can (Dota 2 cosmetics), the old system is probably better.

Just weird yet.
Maybe we will get accustomed to it soon.
I still prefer the old way. :/

Have a nice day :)

Although old system was flawed, I'm pretty sure there'll be something with new system too...

Just look at Summer Adventure, after analysing data the rules have been altered to 3 teams.

They should have added the current request price to sell screen too...

New system is fine, but I'd like to know what price have I set to particular item. Because, you know, steam shows what I will get, but what price will pay buyer? The only way I see - to write down this somewhere when you set item to sell, but this is so inconvenient(

I like the new system but for my liking the two buttons for selling and buying are the wrong way around. I would put the sell button under the selling listing and vice versa.

The number of card sold is going to drop.

I don't get how this new system works. Can someone please explain it to me in layman's terms? lol

they need to make it easier to sell things through the commodity system.. having to click sell when looking up an item(to see insta sell prices based on buy offers) just to be brought to my inventory.. on the first page at that.. not even straight to that item

it is great, easy to use, smooth and fair.

This system should not apply to TF2:hats(cuz of paints),strange weapons(cuz of strange parts),the conscientious objector(cuz of decals),etc and CSGO:all weapons except knives(cuz of stickers) and probably some Dota2 items aswell(dunno,never played that).

Why? "This item is a commodity, where all the individual items are effectively identical"

Will this still work? http://ehsankia.com/steam/cards/

Isn't the purpose to make very difficult (if not impossible) do particular payments through steam market? Although it was very profitable for Valve, converted them into a "transfer bank". So now the label is "stock market" instead of "videogames" company.

There still is a listing,emotes and cards for most games previous to this summer sale still have their listings. They are using the summer cards as a way to promote the automated system.It is convenient since you can post what prices you are willing to buy/sell at and it will stop bots from snatching everything since the system itself is a bot. Also steam is aware that people use the market as a transaction system to transfer wallet between one another so the might partly doing it to get rid of that.

Lets just hope they keep the listings since automated systems cannot always be as precise as and obsessed person trying to get that item for a few cents cheaper :3

I think it's great. I ended up buying at a great price for many cards.

I also was able to sell some cards at a decent price.

I'm just glad I can get something I want without having to play "fastest gun in the west" with a painfully slow internet connection. I can just put in what I'm willing to pay, then wait and see.

I certainly didn't need the extra tension in my life.

it was fine before

It's so much better now.

That means no one can even SEE my $400 summer card? :(
joking aside, it really is a good system.

Since the commodity system was implemented on most of the cards, I've been making like a bandit on buying cheep cards.
