What is the most profitable way to sell steam trading cards: as-is, or turned into gems?
My steam trading cards either turn into between 0.02 and 0.10 EUR when selling them, or I can turn them into gems. Can I sell these gems later on in some way? I see i can put them in a sack of gems, but I'm not sure how many I need for a sack, or even if I can sell those sacks.
I know that I won't make much money in this way, but I really don't care about trading cards, gems or medals as much as I do about money I might get from them. I want to sell them in the most profitable way.
Best Answer
The law of supply-and-demand almost guarantees that cards will be at least as valuable as the equivalent number of gems.
If gems were worth more than the cheapest cards, people would buy the cards and sell them as gems, which would drive down gem-prices (and drive up card-prices) until they equalized.
