CAGiversary!
So I started to get back into using Steam after the recent Sekai Humble bundle and started to become aware of trading cards and badges.
I started to run games to collect more badges and even tried out buying a whole set of CS GO cards thinking it will net me something worthwhile. Of course I found out that the valuable stuff is from playing CS GO and using keys.
So my question is Is there a place of reference on how to play the Steam market?
I've read Steams faq, looked through post on the market group in Steam, and checked out the reddit subforum but there isn't really any guide on getting started on wheeling and dealing in the Steam Market.
Is it best to just sell the cards? Is there sets in which would be good to complete for valuable emoticons/ backgrounds/coupons/dlc? Is it best to find cheap stuff/complete badges to break it down to gems? Does leveling up your account to get the extra bonus chance of booster packs all that useful?
I spent almost the whole day trying to figure it out and mess with stuff and its starting to give me a headache.
I do have a bunch of cards now, a couple of backgrounds, an emoticon, a gift game, and a coupon.
I was thinking of scraping together enough to sell and buy some cheap games to get more cards or get CS Go and figure out how to get the gun skins which are valuable. I also am going to try to play Dota 2 a bit and maybe tf2 to see if playing nets me anything.
Any advice or even pointing me to a better guide would be appreciated.
