Selling 3 cents items or turn into gems?

[Misa]

Should I turn low cost items that are 3 cents into gems or should I sell it and get 1 cent in return? please help i have too much junk but don't know what to do with it.

The only thing you can do with gems is craft booster pack which in turn gets you more cards. If you sell all your junk, might even get a dollar. Selling might take time if your junk isn't on demand.

Sorry I said the word "junk" but what i mean is what gives me the most money? should i sell items that are worth 3 cents or turn them into boosters and get more money?

Selling directly would always gives the biggest return as opposed to creating booster pack.

Creating Booster Pack
The lowest gem requirement for crafting a booster pack that I have seen are 400 gems(wasteland 2). How many "junk" do you need to turn into gems before you hit 400 gems when 1 item will maybe(lets take the worst case) get you 10 gems.

400/10 = 40 items.

40 item for a booster pack or random 3 cards. And each card sold for $0.05 each average.

If Sell card after opening booster pack:
$0.05 x 3 = $0.15

if Sell booster pack
Wasteland 2 Booster pack = $0.20(40 stock so won't change for a while)

Selling "Junk" straight to market
Lets say one item can sell for $0.03

So 40 x $0.03 = $1.20

but steam takes a percentage away from you like for example if you sell an item that is wroth 3 cents you would only get 1 cent.

but thank you for the break down i understand that takes a lot of effort

and some items takes forever to sell and gem doesn't take much time and you can go and buy booster pack instantly.

Turning into gems saves time … assuming you plan to save up your gems for a booster pack some day.

If crafting badges ain't your thing, then go for the penny.
