Can someone give me a quick rundown on Steam Trading Cards ?

Can someone give me a quick rundown on Steam Trading Cards ?
People buy literal shovelware garbage to farm this shit and make a 0.02$ profit. Is there something I'm missing here ? What's the point ?

Epeens or the occasional cheap game. I farm to buy SFV costumes because fuck that I'm not spending my money on that. And if I have to buy a cheap bundle here and there to fund it, so be it.

>I'm not spending my money on that
>if I have to buy a cheap bundle here and there to fund it, so be it

literally retarded

People that can't get a job because they are miserable trash that would be better to off themselves instead do this in order to get money for their games. Although they'd perhaps be earning hundreds of times more with an actual job.

He's still spending money but comparatively less than he would be if he just outright bought the costumes

>supporting asset flip shovelware devs and wasting time farming/selling cards just to save a few cents

And then people whine about Steam being cluttered with trash.

You don't buy games for the card you just buy games as you would normally and the cards are a bonus. I decided to sell all my cards last week and I made 15.87 usd and I'm still selling like one every day or two. It's a free game like a babby form of cash back and getting paid to play games.

Anything is better than nothing.

Cancer that killed steam's community and created power castes of bigheaded burger flippers who actually PAY for a STEAM LEVEL. Yes STEAM LEVEL, so they can be worshipped by brazilian F2Ps and circlejerk.

I remind you, these people pay for STEAM LEVELS instead of buying GAMES.

I just looked it up and the costumes are 99 cents. The average bundle nowadays is $1 and you get 1 or 2 games for that price tier. 4-5 cards at 3-4 cents each isn't going to pay for 1 costume.

>People buy literal shovelware garbage to farm this shit and make a 0.02$ profit.

It is all about luck thats all man. People hope that a FOIL Card drops which they can sell for big in some cases.

A foil card from oneshot dropped for me while i was playing, managed to sell it for 8 bucks on the market.

spend less than you make.
yes, that's how profits work.

if someone is that niggardly about entertainment, they are probably taking other steps in their life to save money. It's how rich people stay rich.

I dropped a foil card once and sold for $20.

>8 bucks
Is this supposed to be impressive ?
Wait yes it is, someone actually PAID 8 bucks to buy some shitty digital "card".

If someone wants to spend all their money on steam levels, does that affect you? No, it doesn't - unless you have a serious mental problem where you think everyone has to act how you think is best, in which case no one cares about you and you should neck yourself.

Who the fuck is selling cards for 3-4 cents?

Trading cards for fake hentai weeb garbage like the Sakura games literally start at 20/30 cents for the lowest and go up from there.

Or you could admit yourself that buying numbers is the only way for you to get "friends" and "respect".

Skinner box

>if someone wants to eat their own shit, does that affect you? No, it doesn't!

>Who the fuck is selling cards for 3-4 cents?

Cards from popular games that everybody owns are cheaper than card from games that almost nobody owns.

It's a game about mass.

I made 30 dollars the last sale simply because i had 500 card drops left to idle. But getting 500 took years of game collecting.

>aquire trading bot
>it buys trash games for you
>idles them till all cards drop then sells those cards for a profit
>slowly but steadily build up a net profit
>the more money your steam account has the faster you will see results
>you can idle multiple games at a time
>aquire free fake currency in your steamwallet to buy things with
it takes as little as 4 cents to get started but will take a long long time before you generate enough money to actually spend.
thats why steam is being flooded with so many shit games. of every trading card sale the dev gets a kickback. even if it only is like a third of a cent per transaction that shit adds up especially with market bots.
