Trade your non-marketable Steam items here

Not sure what to do with all your incomplete card sets whose cards can no longer be bought or sold on the Steam market? Want a background or emoji that's no longer available?

Welcome to the Dead Items Trading Post, your one-stop trading centre for all "dead" Steam items!

This group is strictly for the trading of "dead" items (e.g. cards, backgrounds, emoji, etc) - i.e. stuff that has ceased trading on the Steam market.

The only way to get rid of or obtain such items, is through trading with other users. So start putting those offers out there and hopefully you'll find a match! :)

Items from video content about to become unmarketable?

23 février 2019 - stardustsunday | 7 commentaires

Hi everyone!

I hope you've had an awesome start to the year so far!

Firstly, I need to apologise for the lack of updates! 2018 was a rough year for me as my father passed away and I was out of the country almost every other month to settle business matters.
However, things have finally settled down somewhat and I hopefully will be able to devote more time to managing this group this year.

Secondly, here's the reason for this post:

Valve is going to remove non-gaming videos from the Steam store soon. Read the announcement here.

What this means is that more items may soon become unmarketable. But we don't know for sure yet because:

1) we don't know exactly which videos will be removed;
2) even if some videos are removed, this doesn't necessarily mean that their associated items will become unmarketable, as I have explained before in this announcement.

However, it may make sense to complete your card sets and/or buy whatever emoji you want from the market now, just in case they become unmarketable after the removal.

You can find a list of videos that may potentially be affected here: https://psteamproxy.yuanyoumao.com/search/?category1=992&category2=29

A big thank you to Tasty Salamanders for alerting us to this!
A post has been made on this topic as well: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/groups/deaditems/discussions/0/1796278072832953327/ - feel free to join in the discussion!

Have a good weekend!

P.S. I will update the dead items list soon, because many more games have been removed from the store and their items become unmarketable. If you know of more removed games not already on our list, please add them here: http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/groups/deaditems/discussions/0/135513901710904793/ - thanks!

Happy New Year! List updated with more dead games...

Do you know of more games not on the list? Let us know!

Lastly, thought I'd clarify something:
When a game is removed from the Steam store, it does not automatically mean that its items also become non-marketable.

This is because a developer's game licensing relationship is entirely separate from his market sales relationship with Steam. They involve 2 different contracts.

Therefore it is perfectly feasible to see a removed game whose items are still selling on the Steam market.
(E.g. The game "Shakedown Racing One" which was removed from the Steam store more than 2 years ago, whose cards, backgrounds, etc are still saleable on the Steam market today: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/market/search?appid=753&category_753_Game%5B%5D=tag_app_417730 )

Another game that was removed (because the developer ended his game licensing agreement with Steam), but whose items continued to be saleable (because the developer hadn't yet terminated his market relationship with Steam) for some time, until end-2017, was "Yelaxot".
Which is also why "Yelaxot" has just only appeared on our list even though the game was removed many months ago.

Hope that clears things up!

In light of this, be sure to always check if a game's items are still saleable. Just because the game has been removed from the store, doesn't mean its items have also become non-marketable.

Have a fantastic year ahead!!!
