Steam Gems or Sell?

Ninco! · 1 Jan 2017 at 19:51

Hi all,

What do people do with these, exchange into gems or sell?

I have never paid attention, only I have accrued a few and I am not sure what is the point?

Many thanks,

I see used to sell the card for roughly 8p each,seems pointless and a waste of time,I just turn them into gems now.

What can you actually do with the gems?

To be honest....I don't have a clue

If you have enough gems you can trade them in for a booster pack, you can select what came to create the booster pack for

And the booster packs do? Just curious as I can't be bothered listing the dozens things I have that are only worth a penny!

some are worth more, highest i've had is 70p

as i have no interest in collecting the badges i usually horde the cards for a while, sell them all and get a game or some dlc effectively for free

What are the badges even for?

steam xp, profile icon and sometimes other extras emoticons and steam profile backgrounds

I just sell them, sure it's only a few pence but I play Rust and I'm into buying and selling skins at the moment

Just sold some TF2 items I had since i never play the game anyway. Gave me around £1.40. Might sell some cards too depending on their worth.

I sell the ones that are worth than less than 20 gems, but if you are collecting other cards you are probably best selling/trading. the gems don't really go a long way...

I sell cards and item drops. Had a tenner in my account until I splurged it on a pistol what has a weasel on it.
