Depends on the history and number available. But usually ends up being at the current low. If the current low is actually just a few above the average sale for the last 24 hours I end up putting it right around that average. If there are two pages of cards at the one price I'll end up putting the card a 1 penny lower. If the current low is a guy selling it 4 or 5 cents lower I will usually put it at the real low. Not the one off under cutter.

My current batch of cards were some cheapos. 4-6 cent averages. Do I didn't care too much about their value. I try not to undercut the valuable ones though.

... I just added my 100th game to my Steam Library. Just Cause 2 is $2.99 on Amazon. (Meh, its on sale for the same price ON Steam itself, but the DLC is on sale as well, so buy it on Steam I guess, I just wanted to post saying that I'm now a part of an exclusive club that anyone can be in as long as you have too many games on one service).

Nice. I have between 50-75. I don't do a lot of small indie or bundle games though.

Any of you card meta gamers ever worry that some of those shady tactics might get you in trouble? The cards are not my thing and non of it bothers me personally but I can see Steam being unhappy with the 3rd party software stuff.

Does Steam ever ban people? I can see that getting super messy with digital property and the amount of original investment in your library. Kind of interesting to think about.

When Steam bans an account the largest penalty I've ever seen is a suspension for violating the SSA. This suspension makes you unable to trade or use the market. And removes your ability to purchase games or redeem retail keys. You can still access your existing library of games.

In my opinion using SAM to farm cards is no different than running the game idle. And it saves Steam bandwidth because users with huge libraries don't need to download 1000GB of data.

Edit:
If bundle sites start offering new bundles, I might end up breaking 1000 games on Steam by the end of the year. But so far the last few months have been repeat city.

I've reached a decent spot in my card libraries. A handful of games that are worth 12-16 cents each card. Of course they have a low number of cards... but it's still a bit better because Steam takes a smaller percentage of the money. Sell for 16 cents and get 14 vs sell for 6 cents and get 4...

I got two foils too. One only worth about 36 cents, the other worth about 1.50... the cheap one sold, but the more expensive one will probably take a while...

Well, guess I'm going to try this out starting tonight and see how it goes.

Ok, that's like using cheat codes on Steam.

So I tried a few games last night and came back this morning to nothing...

Then I realized that the games I had run were F2P games and required purchases to unlock card drops. Whoops.

Yes, that.

Also, if you really care, you can then click the game in your badge pages and click the "check market price" and see which cards are selling for the most. Really though, most sell for 10-15¢ so it's hardly worth the effort. Guess it saves you from farming five 5¢ McPixel cards though.

Steam Sale has started. REPENT YE SINNERS!!!

Meh, unimpressed so far. Apocalypse needs some cheaper thrills.

oh man, I need to get running that thing you guys are running... have so many games with cards left.

It's a great game, totally a steal at that price.
