FAQ:

Are sale prices constant through sale?

For the most part, yes. However, it is up to the developer if they wish to make changes to the percent off. Most will leave it, but some may have to correct something or put something on sale that didn't get flagged for it.

I can't buy this game because it is over 99% off! What do I do?

Post it here or on my profile and I will let someone know. This tends to be an error and can be fixed by Valve, if it is reported.

Is there a sales event, like a meta game or such?

Valve has not had that in the last few big sales they did, so I doubt it will happen now. May be we will get lucky and they will, all we can do for now is wait an see. Until the, there is the Discovery Queue and trading cards.

Where are my cards?

Server are slow at the moment. I'm waiting for mine too, but it will take time. They are there, it just hasn't been seen by your inventory yet.

Why can I not buy a giftable copy of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive?

Valve has disabled the ability to buy a gift copy of of this game.

They have given a statement to the media as to the reason why.
Please check out the article onEurogamer[www.eurogamer.net] for more infromation.

Do Summer Sale Cards expire?

From the Summer Badge FAQ:

Unlike previous badges, once the sale ends the cards will disappear. Make sure to trade and craft your badges before July 4th 10am PST.

I suggest readin the FAQ for more information.

Where can I find the best packages, for the least price?

A fellow Moderator game me this link:
http://www.steambro.com/p/packn_0.html

It shows all the packages and you can even sort them by percent off. It may work for individual games as well.

Why am I not getting my card drops from the Discovery Queue!?!

Two possible reasons:

1: You need to be level 5 to get those drops.
2: TimeZones. The Queue resets at 10:00am PST/PDT. If you are going by your local time, and don't live in the PST/PDT time zone, then you are doing it wrong.

I just crafted a game badge, but I didn't get a summer sale card (or even a coupon) for doing so.

Steam Summer Game?

Where is the steam summer game? Valve always has an incredibly addicting game to play for cards over the summer. Is it coming later on or is there not going to be one this year. I forget if the game happens during the summer sale or after but I thought it was at the same time last year.
