Snow Globe Market Prediction

when do they expire?

Drop hard then. People will want cash while they can get it, even if its a couple of cents.

The market will stay where it is at the very luckiest. Supply continues to increase, especially with all the dupe account farming. You'll have a jam of people desperately trying to sell off their inventory before it disappears.

Demand will rise, but I can't fathom the demand outstripping supply. The market's already overstuffed.

I'm fairly confident prices will drop like a rock to the lowest price allowed.

It'll crash, as folks will want something for them, rather than just let the be removed after the sale. Something is better than nothing.

Steam Community will go down and the sale will expire. Oops.

over the last few days they've only been going down by around a penny a day. it'll go down farther in the last days of the sale, but it is hard to predict how far since the snowglobe badge can be completed an unlimited amount of times.

Depending how long we'll have to sell them after last drop (8 hours or whole day of daily repeats), we'll either see them drop in price or they might even go up a bit, as crafters will try to craft while there's not going to be more supply.

In similar market experiments where EVERYBODY knows that resale value for an item (or items) will eventually drop to zero at a predetermined time, trading prices will start high, but will sharply fall as that "expiration deadline" draws near as people who have the item will try to pawn them off to get some profit (over NO profit at all).

So those who wait for the last few minutes could get a steal... but if they can't complete the set for a badge level, it's going to be worthless in the end.

They will drop hard. It's going to be a snowball effect. Let's say collectively most people are charging 10 cents, all it will take are a few people to start underbidding the collection for a new seller to also freak out and lower his price as well. Thus, every person will be rushing to sell thereby making people go lower and lower out of fear of not selling their cards.

With like 65.000 of each globe on the market, possibly another 100.000 of each yet not on the market but in an inventory, these will be worth exactly 0. Well... lowest price you can sell them for is 0.03. That is for sure.

The real question imho is, what will happen to the foil globe prices.

0.03€ on the last day.

I don't think they'll drop much. If people wanted to sell them they'd have sold them and if they wanted to make a badge they would have made a badge.

I see no reason why either parties would wait for the last day.

Hell they could rise on the last day. Some people want the badge.

My only question is why some people are still selling their snow globe cards at ludicrous prices. What, can they not read? They expire. Sheesh.

Even if they drop to 0.03$, it very hard to buy them. Many people will try to buy it in the last moment. It still hard to buy them now, when I click buy, the message always say someone bought it before me

Prices will drop, people seem to forget about the items you 'might' get from crafting the badge. Considering they will be unattainable after 3rd Jan, people would try to get at least one of those. Even if there are thousands of common items crafted already, considering a game like TF2 for example has millions of players, they would still be expensive. And prices will rise as time goes on.
