Steam account owner sells account for $1,000

Steam accounts can get pretty crazy. I don’t have a huge collection built up, but I know some people that get all the games that are on discounts, have all of the collections, and don’t ever play half of them.

Well this is the story of ebayer dave311freak that had a nice collection of 139 games, and was selling his account on ebay. He estimated it being worth around $2,700, but said he’d take $500 for the collection. Well he got lucky and got a remarkable $1000 for the collection!

“This account has absolutely no bans on any of the games, is in good standing with VAC, and any one of the games can be downloaded at any time on any computer with Steam on it,” the seller wrote. “I will change all of the information in that account to the winner’s email address and issue a password to the winner that he or she can change once they log in. I will also provide user account information for games that require additional credentials (Dragon Age for the DLC, Company of Heroes Account info, etc…).”

What drives this man to sell such an amazing collection of games to someone else? Well:

“As you can probably tell, I spend way too much time buying and playing video games and I am going to try to spend more time with my family and doing other hobbies,” he writes.

I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty sure gaming is more important than family, and is a hobby, so he screwed up there.
