QUOTE(ik3da @ Jul 23 2013, 09:52 AM) I was trying to get one Skyrim card to complete my collection but I could never get even one. It is really scary how Steam could market a virtual card that barely cost anything to draw (assuming they just re-use some of the game scrap arts) and still earn load of money from it. It was around 14-18 cents when I first started F5 last night and by the time I quit, it was a steady 25 cents market for Skyrim card. skyrim game card or summer getaway skyrim card o?It also gives me a feeling that someone got a bot or really fast fingers in snapping any cards that are less than 20 cents. |

QUOTE(Cheesenium @ Jul 23 2013, 09:39 AM) Just sell it cause i dont see the point of crafting badges. You arent getting much from it to be honest. different people, different wants and needs mah. some people like the shiny cards. some people like the bigger numbers. etc. reposta my card selling buying experience. might be of some reference for people who wish to sell and buy to craft badges to level up. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

QUOTE(ik3da @ Jul 23 2013, 11:06 AM) Summer Skyrim card =D I sold all of my Skyrim cards for 26 cents each - not much but it sponsored some game somehow. oooo i got summer skyrim card mah. no ask me pun? *I don't really mind crafting the cards for fun (and shiny virtual badges) thru trading but I can't bring myself to start paying more than pennies to get cards. Gaming itself is an expensive and time-exhausting hobby, haha, don't wanna start on virtual cards/badges too.  QUOTE(Cheesenium @ Jul 23 2013, 11:07 AM) I know that some people liked it but, oh nvm. aye, willing buyer, willing seller mah ahhaah. Just have fun with it. i think some people may treat it as errr ... paying additional tribute or homage to lord gaben valve and the developer publisher etc? if they buy and sell tf2 items cards via the steam community market. for example, for a usd 1.00 item sale. valve gets 0.05 while the publisher (or developer?) gets 0.10 and the seller gets 0.85 in the end, i think it is a system that everyone wins. i.e. those who do not wants the cards, can sell them off, to buy new games & dlcs for them.

QUOTE(Scar_face @ Jul 23 2013, 11:52 AM) hmm lina background seems expensive 2usd++ should i sale mine sell it if the price is good ooo.  QUOTE(ik3da @ Jul 23 2013, 11:52 AM) Haha, I did! I messaged you, doctor, and a few more - all no response lol. Thought you all idling or busy so I just went to market and F5-buy. oooo what time ooo? i tidor around 12.15am - 12.30amSupport you when I am home lol, now at office. What's the discussion about? hmm it is about a different way to buy items from the community market. one that benefits the buyers. (let buyer list price and seller decide to sell or not) the current system kinda benefit the sellers. (let seller list price and let buyer decide to buy or not) QUOTE(Boldnut @ Jul 23 2013, 11:55 AM) I prefer the auction system. what auction system? O_O  honestly tho, only 1-2 games I want to level 5 badge. There reason I craft other game badge is to level up till 20-30 for a few showcase them I am done. Higher level also get higher chance of booster pack. |

QUOTE(Boldnut @ Jul 23 2013, 12:01 PM) means the seller get the sell to whoever bid the highest price for trading cards. ooo u mean the buyer's market that i suggested. I really hope valve setup auction system to boost the card value. a few bucks for a virtual item is just too low. then go support my topic la. express yourself that you wish to see such a system implemented. however, in most cases, buyer's market usually favors the buyers. we'll see even lower prices. but with the buyers market, we will be able to see the actual demand and supply. |

QUOTE(Boldnut @ Jul 23 2013, 12:14 PM) ur system has 1 problem. easy. you set a price you are comfortable with and wait for the ones higher than your price to be taken off by the sellers. If I am the buyer I would prefer to buy at the lowest price I want. How the heck I know how much the card cost? If I set too high, I gonna butthurt myself later, if I set too low, not seller wanna sell my card. Auction system is slightly diff, the seller list the card on the min price he wanted to sell.(he will know if it is too high or not if nobody bid his item) then he set a fix time limit and let the buyer complete each other to bid the item. in this system, seller will not fear he sell below market value, buyer will not fear offer too much than he want. for reference, click this: http://www.gw2spidy.com/item/29175 auction system have problem also. too many auctions going on. your (seller) auction will be unnoticed. a trading post system with both buyer's listing and seller's listing is most ideal.

QUOTE(refnulf @ Jul 23 2013, 12:29 PM) Macam GW2 ke? yes, macam gw2. QUOTE(Boldnut @ Jul 23 2013, 12:29 PM) and if most buyer set the low price, nobody will sell the stuff, buyer will end up waiting for his card as well. it is same problem with what we have now, just reverse. nope. there will always be impatient buyers and sellers. what we have now is a sellers market listing. with an additional buyers market listing, it will balance up. for buyer, if you list your buy price the same as the current highest buy price, then your listing will not be shown at the top. to be at the top, you will set your buy price to be the highest. for seller, if you list your sell price the same as the current lowest sell price, then your listing will not be shown at the top. to be at the top, you will set your sell price to be the lowest. you ... still, do not get it? |

QUOTE(Boldnut @ Jul 23 2013, 12:52 PM) does the seller listing and buyer list linked together? in guild wars 2 trading post, yes. for example, lets look at copper ore, a very common item, a basic crafting material http://www.gw2spidy.com/item/19697 Sell Price: 22 c Buy Price: 20 c Last updated: 4 minutes ago Supply: 490,371 Demand: 2,020,197 say, i mined a copper node and gotten myself 3 pieces of copper ore, i right click on it, and select "sell at trading post" i can sell it immediately and get 20c per piece, since 20c is the highest buying price. or i could list it for sale at 22c and wait for ppl to buy it at 22c per piece. say, if i right click on the copper ore and select "buy more at trading post" i can buy straight away, at 22c or higher, depending on the stock available at what prices etc. or i could set a custom offer, i.e. list a buy price. i could list to buy 1000 copper ores at 21c. etc. |

QUOTE(refnulf @ Jul 23 2013, 01:04 PM) Not if you can undercut by a cent. Then it makes things pretty stupid. There's got to be certain increments. Not someone listing at $2.99, then someone else at $2.98. it is the same in guild wars 2 trading post. we can undercut by 1 copper. forcing certain increments will defeat the whole purpose. by the way, this is not ebay bidding. it is perfectly fine to undercut by 0.01 that's why we need a buyers listing to balance up the sellers listing. |

QUOTE(refnulf @ Jul 23 2013, 01:21 PM) That's why people want that system fixed as well. eh u referring to the guild wars 2 trading post system is it? It's not perfect and pretty stupid I think especially since you get charged everytime you put a listing up. So if you want to drop your price, you lose out on fees. So no, not really perfect. well, if they charge listing fees on successful sales then still ok. but now, cut throat la for expensive items hahahah. QUOTE(Boldnut @ Jul 23 2013, 01:23 PM) what if the buyer set 24c? the seller get under cut sell 22c only? hmmm never tried that in gw2. later i go back see what happens. see if will encounter "your price cannot be higher than the lowest selling price" error or not.  |

QUOTE(diehard1979 @ Jul 23 2013, 01:53 PM) How about make it like "share market" that is what i was trying to say lar. buyer set the price they want to buy while seller set the price they want to sell. when match, it will proceed. Then we can easily see how many quantity willing to be bough on particular price or sell at particular price. But too bad this card can't up and down as much like some "hot share"  If can, someone will buy all the particular card then later jack it up. duh. |
