I keep hearing of people funding game purchases by "farming" and selling cards on Steam, but man, selling cards on Steam is sloooooooooow!
I started using Idle Master for the first time almost 3 weeks ago. So far, I was only able to get about 1300 cards (I have around... 19000 left! There are days I got 100+ cards, but on others, I barely get 30 or so. At this rate, I should be done by Christmas 2021
).
Of those, I sold less than half (with, like, one fifth or one forth of the cards left being cards for removed games, that I can't sell). And I have almost 670 or so cards left in the marketplace, that remain unsold for 1 or 2 weeks, not even at 0,04€.
It's hard selling any cards for 0,05€ (meaning, you get 0,03€) or more. So far, I made around 40€, but that was because I got a foil card that was sold for more than 5,50€. I got a few other foil cards, but no one touches those, not even at 0,09€.
I was hoping to get enough money to buy Star Wars: Squadrons by the end of the month (which should be doable; I'm currently approaching 25€, since I recently bought Operencia with some of the funds), and then raise funds for Cyberpunk 2077. But yeah, it ends up being a bit of work, and it's hard selling cards currently on the Steam marketplace, people sure aren't buying them as they used to. Oh, and that "quick sell" option on Idle Master should be renamed "list it, and look at it staying there unsold for 2-3 weeks".
