I already have every game on steam worth owning and a million that aren't. What could I possibly need more steam money for.

I bought a bunch of cards and sold them for twice the amount slowly over the course of a year so I'd say I can sell quite a bit.

it's not something I'm gonna do again, but I'm glad my stupid wild hair for investing in pointless digital collectible cards wasn't a loss, and seeing my steam wallet go up 50 cents or so every week makes me laugh as another person makes a poor purchasing decision.

There's not much to it, pick a more 'obscure' game, snatch up any cheap cards and jack up the prices, so long as the price stays below .75 or so and you're patient enough the price will fluctuate because of the eventual rarity of the cards and some one will probably gently caress up.

I got a foil summer card during the last event. I sold it for like $7 then used the money to buy more cards because I had already bought all the games I wanted in the sale.

With the cards I bought I got badges that generated enough cards for me to make more money off of selling them than I did off the foil so :shrug: The cycle of steam wallet funds.

I don't put money in there from outside, and I can't take it out, so I don't really worry about it too much.

Awesome!
