Man, I see I'm late to the party, but WTF happened to ARS giftcards. They're hard to find and prices basicaly doubled. Only reasonable way of topping up seems to be selling TF keys on the marketplace, but that means planning a week in advance and having a dummy account.

On a side note Argentinians must be really pissed, most major AAA releases are the same price as in developed countries now Laughing I mostly buy indies which usually follow Steam suggested regional pricing, so I don't really care, but it must be tough.

Too bad that (probably?) not even with an arg cc card you'd able to load funds in your wallet. And besides that I've only discovered a few years back that entropay is dead for a few years now

Also, interesting comment on the allkeyshop page, take it with a huge truckload of salt:

This is so because Valve has discontinued gift cards in Argentina, the price you see is because it is the last stock of these. There will be no price reduction in the future
IF that's true... damn Crying or Very sad

I got the same response from seagm.
That's why selling TF keys is the only way to go now. 22 euro worth of keys nets you around 2600-2700 ARS after Valve's cut. Unfortunately seeing how things are going they will probably ban trading between cheap region accounts at some point alltogether.

Turkey gift cards will most likely be next.

1 key sells for around 250-270 ARS (after valve tax), so 4 keys. You can buy them for around 2.2 EUR, so the amount of pesos you get is similar to old keyshop prices.

The biggest problem is you have to wait a week for the keys to be tradeable.

so buying a ton is a huge gamble if valve takes additional measures within that week. I guess the key prices will rise also

Usually key prices drop during big sales, so that's when you should buy a bunch

Oh, I found another reason for the price hike for ARS cards: Argentina recently imposed a combined 75% tax on digital goods, which includes gift cards.

Looks like even Turkish gift cards got more expensive.
300 TL now costs ~30€.

I guess now the cheapest way to top up wallet is by reselling TF2/CSGO keys. Anyone have a good dealer? Laughing

Is it not possible to simply just send yourself a gift card from the dummy account?

Simple, back to 100% piracy. If these Devs prefer to get 0 of instead of the "proper" prices, fuck 'em

Since July 2021 you can no longer send gift cards to accounts from cheap regions. It still kinda works between regions with the similar pricing, but you can't send it from europe to argentina.

Great, someone gifted me a 20yuro steam gift card Laughing

So, correct me if I'm wrong: I can add that to my 2nd account, buy 20€ worth of tf2 keys, trade them to my pampas account, and them sell them for those ARS pesos. Right?
