In Steam, is there any way to mass sell items in your inventory?

[Space Lynx]

I have 17 pages of trading cards alone... just annoying to click each one to sell it, its about 5 clicks to sell each one, not to mention making sure you sell 1 cent below market value so it sells faster.

I would love to do that for all 17 pages, just 1 cent below its market price, all at once.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Nope.

 

[R-T-B]

Short of trading them en masse via paypal to a hopefully trustworthy someone for submarket value, nope.

Dang, such a primitive system Steam is. People only really love it because it was a monopoly for community early on, and it's hard to break habits.

Steam is left in the dust technically speaking when you compare it to Uplay. Not as many features sure, but most of Steam's features are useless gimmicks copied from social media that never took off. Except maybe "the wall"

Use to be able to zip through selling trading cards on Steam then Valve moved to requiring confirmation on the Steam iOS/Android App.

Yet the last few times I’ve put stuff up it didn’t ask for confirmation that way. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Glitch in the matrix?

Tried it out myself, and no confirmation was required through the Steam App on my smartphone. It use to require confirmation though so I'm not sure what changed.

Dang, such a primitive system Steam is.

To be fair, it's still leaps and bounds more advanced than anyone else's client... The closest is GOG's Galaxy.

I think it lets you do X number per Y days. If you exceed that, it puts a 14 day hold on every transaction thereafter.

I pretty much stopped using Steam Market for that reason. Ended up amassing some 300+ cards.

That's about were I'm at, and my library isn't very big.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I tried selling a bunch during a sale and it worked...

I was totally wrong. I have just shy of 800 cards left.

 

[Splinterdog]

I didn't even know what the heck they were until I realised that they could be sold and the proceeds would end up in my Steam wallet.
I mean, what else would you do with them? So I'm selling mine, albeit for local currency (AR$) which is worthless in the real world, but I can use the funds to buy games which are usually 50-60% below the USD baseline price.
The SteamGuard app for Android doesn't work for me since it never sends out the security code so I've gone back to email authentication. That app is flaky at best.

I think its crazy that people even buy to collect Steam cards, other than the market makers and scalpers. I let them accumulate because the few times I tried to sell involved too much hassle. What a useless thing to collect.

 

[Deleted member 67555]

I literally had no idea about any of this.
Why would someone pay money for another person's achievement cards?
That is confusing to me.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

They're not achievements. Every game drops random cards after the game has been running x minutes (default is something like 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes). You trade them to complete the set and assemble them to get wallpapers and emoticons as well as level up your Steam profile. It's all stupid and I hate it but one can't opt out. You'll always get notifications you got cards.

Seriously, this whole trading card affair sums up why I never understood how people are so tied to Steam.

Its ancient, lacks a purpose, and is clearly targeted at people who get by on scraps and leftovers and have no job/purpose in life.

Kinda like the average store offering. Targeted at the gullible idiots who believe in promises of the next best thing - ie youngsters with no life experience. Greenlight was too much, but Early Access was there to stay. Oh, how many fools and money have been parted over the years. Meanwhile, Gabe gets worshipped for all the good he brings to gaming and gamers. It reminds me of that quote from the movie Gladiator about the Emperor. "He will bring the people death, and they will love him for it"

I don't understand all the negativity over these harmless little trading cards, especially if they can be ignored, which I have been doing for years - until now.
They serve a dual purpose - those who like to collect them and those that wish to sell them and buy more games/software on Steam. What can be better than a freebie you didn't know you had?
One of my five SOTTR cards was worth over AR$6, so I've sold almost all of them and watching my Steam Wallet get credited with every sale. I'm rubbing my hands

 

[64K]

I have no idea how many cards I have and I've never even looked at them. They don't bother me and I don't bother them.

 

[CrAsHnBuRnXp]

What is the point of these cards? I never understood it.

You get a specific card for a game that you play (usually newer games). The sets come in 5 to 7 or even 9 series. You collect all of them and redeem them for perks like percentage off other game from publisher. content for some part of the game, new avatars for your Steam account and sometimes free game keys.

And background wallpaper for your Steam profile wall, which no one ever looks at anyway because 3/4 of it is hidden.

 

[INSTG8R]

I’ve probably only used the cards for purpose a few times, I‘ve definitely sold enough to buy a few games tho.

And background wallpaper for your Steam profile wall, which no one ever looks at anyway because 3/4 of it is hidden.

Right? Pretty much the only time I made an effort with cards for backgrounds and you get that...

Yeah I remember spending evenings on selling off Dota cards/items. I'll put it this way. The time spent on that was a very low hourly wage. As in, less than a dollar per hour. And that is while frantically just selling at recommended prices. Never bothered since.

I just sell them as soon as I get them now, the notification alone annoys me...
