Just to set the record straight, coupons are worth as much as crates in TF2 i.e. nothing. Please don't ask for anything more than another coupon or a scrap metal for them.
I'm offering 3 coal and a Sandvich Safe for Chantelise.

Some coupons are worth a lot. The 66% off MW2 makes the game only $12. And for me, I plan to buy anno2070 from some russian dude, which is already nearly half off.

This. (http://store.steampowered.com/holidaysale/) With each objective you have the chance of earning a coal, a coupon, or a free game.

And with each coal, you have a chance to win EVERY GAME ON STEAM

But.. I don't want any other games on steam '_'. Hell, the ones I have now only end up lagging my computer with random updates for ones I don't even play. The vast majority of games on steam don't appeal to me x]. Still, Maybe i can be helpful with these coal things.
edit: It appears I have a coal, and a 50% off any valve game coupon.

Well, do the free objectives. You can use the achievement manager to hax the achievements for all but spiral knights. Some of the free achievements require games, so... And gives me your coal? :p
Dan

I might look into it if i can be assed. And sure I guess, coal seems to be worthless so..
Madous
24th December 2011, 06:38 PM
^ It isn't. It's worth about 50 cents per coal, which when you add it up can get you some good indie games for free.
I'd suggest trading them instead of giving it to Whyme who already has more steam items than he can count. o-O

It's funny, because unless I select one in my library, when I scroll, I lose count.. :(
But no, not $0.50 per coal
Refined metal is around $0.60, and coal is going for 0.33-0.55 refined, making coal at the most $0.25

Why are you taking this so seriously o_o... steam games bore me to tears.
Madous
24th December 2011, 06:47 PM
There's games of every possible genre known to man, from rhythm games to shooters to RPGs. Not only from indie developers that deserve support, but from big-name companies. I don't know how you can say Steam games bore you when there's pretty much every game on PC on there to begin with. o-O
I won't tell you how to use your items. I'm just saying that they're actually worth something if you scrounge up enough.
Dan
24th December 2011, 06:57 PM
I meant in general, not in total. Terraria is great, left 4 dead is a lot of fun. But /every/ steam game? Yeah no thanks. I'd never play 98% of them.
Though this 50% off thing would be cool for portal 2, that already appears to be 50% off on its own as it is ;p. But I doubt this little compy can handle it anyway

But they're more on sale now than they will be with the coupon.

Which is why those coupons have value; don't buy them during the sale, buy them AFTER the sale with a superior discount!

So let me get this straight; by saving a coupon that accomplishes a worse sale than is on right now, you can make sick profit off of people who want to waste money by waiting until january, and have only the 1 week before the coupon expires to find said moron who didn't buy the game for less a week prior?

Most are on sale for 75% right now and coupons above 50% are rare. Even if you do get a coupon for a better sale, it still isn't worth nearly as much as your asking for them. You can go onto a 4chan Steam Trading Thread and get 15 assorted coupons for a single coal.

Not any coupon, one of the more valuable ones.
