How much is a 5dig and 7dig steam id worth?

[Obsoleet]

Does anyone know what the going rate is for a 5dig and 7dig steam id accounts?

Say the 5dig had CS1.6, blue shift all that and thats it
While the 7dig has about ~$200 originally worth in games, about 150 in todays pricing
Neither had cevo or cal history, neither had been hacked on and are in good standing

I know the 5digs in particular are desirable, and the 7digs are actually low compared to the numbers they're handing out now.

For those who don't know, CS 1.6 gamers are into their steam id#, you can find it by launching any valve game, opening console and typing in status. The last string of digits is your steamid# and people check those to see how noobish their opponents account is.

If they suspect someone of hacking, they'll check that ID#, and if its really high it typically points to a hacker. noobs arent that great usually and if they are, its prob someone who just got banned who created a new account. It's a source of pride for the older school guys to have a 5 digit, which is pretty low because it means you are in the first 100,000 people who got an account. Generally means you got steam the first week.

Anyway, if anyone here knows how much accounts like these accounts are generally worth in the free market let me know. No, these theoretical accounts are not mine nor am I looking at buying one. I know its against the EULA and all but I'm just curious.

Thanks

lol I know what he is referring to. I used to play CS:S in Cal. Sometimes in scrims (practice matches) people refuse to play with someone with a too high (newer) steam id. I think the 5 dig is worth a lot but I'm not sure where you sell it. 7 dig prob isn't worth much because that's what I have and although I've been playing a while quite a few people have 7 digs still.

What about all those people that stuck with 1.5. They've probably got 9 digit SIDs.

Is this 5 dig and 7 dig thing like the selling of illegal names on starcraft? Like the 8-9 year old account names like $pace or L££T, made before they banned those characters?

It's a old school WON thing. You'd have to be fairly hardcore into amateur/pro CS before Steam to care. I played back then and still don't care today, its pretty childish but I will admit it does feel a little good to have a 5dig. Someone who was really good at CS and felt he deserved a low steam id would buy this.

That's what I was hoping. I know people throw these up on ebay and a few forums and I've checked out pricing. 7dig is HL2 release era, 5dig is first week release.
I've considered (theoretically of course) either selling the rather bare 5dig for a lot if it would bring over $200 or selling the 7dig with a lot of games on it (I think it'll bring cost of games) and rebuy the games I want today with that money on the older account.

Come on, I said how in the original post to avoid a bunch of questions like this.

that is what I want to know.

I don't know when I got steam, but it was before HL2, and if this thing is really worth something, I'd be happy to sell it (as long as I could get my games back).

My apologies, I just never finished reading the EULA violating post of yours. Next time we should all just read further to avoid pissing anyone off because they so clearly stated the answer in their original post... :roll:

It's not EULA violating. Nice try to get at me simply because you fail at reading.

^taken from your OP which you're so anal about other people not reading all the way thru.

Keep your theoretical accounts. Theoretically selling your theoretical accounts is a violation of STEAMS theoretical EULA as well, theoretically speaking of course.
