(keep refreshing)

Foil badge (up to level 100) costs approximately $15.90 each

Foil level 100 = ($15.90 x 100) $1,590.

Regular badge (up to level 1000) costs approximately $1.57 each.

Regular level 1000 = ($1.57 x 1000) $1,570

I don't know how to respond to this.
 
This guy is more hardcore than any American I've ever seen.

Over 2,000 games owned too.

I thought PC gaming wasn't big in Japan, guys? What happened?

That is more than I spent on my entire library of 600+ games. I would love to have this guys disposable income.

Is such a thing even possible?

Kinda feels like Valve is taking advantage of this guy, but whatever. He's taking advantage of his own foolishness I guess.

That's an infinitesimal amount of money to garner attention. He should sell advertisement space on his profile.

This guys steam level is so high that he probably gets a card dropping every other second or something giving him the money to buy more cards.
 
I wonder what the distribution of his items are.

For those that don't know everytime you level the badge up you get a: common, rare, ultra rare, <even more rare>, <even more rare> item. I imagine some of them sell for quite a lot.

This is some serious level of nerd dick wagging I'll never understand.

I mean, having a $900 video card at least offers something, but this... is a few pixels on a screen. :/

It's not like he's doing it for the fuck of it, if he gets that super rare TF2 item this could pay off big time. It's just gambling and 3000$ isn't much in that context.
 
Doesn't your drop rate increase with your steam level? At level 250 how many booster packs would he get a day? Must make some decent money selling cards. Not $3,000, but surely more than I do
