Sell them ASAP. They sell for like 70 cents and if you have a decent amount, you can actually get some good dough off of it. But the auction was never meant for people like us, so sell, sell, sell!

^ I have to disagree with the advice to sell them. (which, btw, just go into your inventory, click on your gems, and there's an option to convert it into a sack if you're gonna sell them)
BUT, I've found that it's more profitable to turn them into cheap booster packs that sell fairly high. I had 1,200 and made 3 packs for 400 gems each that went for almost 50 cents a pop. o: Though that would depend on what games you actually have available, lol.
Whelp, since the Steam sale supposedly starts tomorrow, I'm going to follow tradition and post my "Announcement and Advice" information that I do every major Steam Sale (well, specifically, Christmas and Summer). Here's the one from last year that I'll edit based on the dates and event details once they come to light (as well as the banner they decide on):
Spoiler:
December 18th - ? The Steam Holiday Sale is Officially on!
Now before you go off to buy all those games you never got to, here are some things that you should consider:
Keep a careful watch of the Flash Sale and the Community Choice. The Flash Sales last 8 hours and show deals for four games. The Community's Choice lasts the same amount of time and is dictated by 3 sales that are put up for a vote. The game that gets the most votes will have a sale for a set amount of time, until the next Community Choice sale. Then, of course, there's the Daily Sale, which lasts for 24 hours.
Don't jump to buy a game that is part of the sale simply because it's on Sale. The Flash Sale and the Community's Choice may yield a better discount than a standard Steam Sale discount. Patience can be your greatest tool when looking for the best deal. Watch for Daily Deals, of course, but Flash Deals and Community's Choice should take precedence, as they often yield the best discounts the sale has to offer.
While the Steam Sale is nice, it may also be smart to look to other sites for better deals. GreenmanGaming, Gamer's Gate, Nuuvem, G2A, and Getgames Go are just a few examples that always have incredible deals, so don't limit yourself. Having said that, keep the previous tip in mind.
Put games on your wishlist. If there's a game you really want and you don't want to have to keep looking at the Steam Sale for a better deal, put the game on your wishlist so that you will get e-mails about deals for games on your wishlist. If you want a more immediate and versatile means of getting deals, isthereanydeal.com allows you to import your Steam Wishlist (or just search for games) and have deals from a plethora of trusted sites and Steam emailed to you. What's more, you can check the deal price against the lowest the price for that specific game has ever gone, letting you know if you're getting a good deal. The site is highly recommended.
Edited to some extent. If you guys are really interested in getting the best deals during the sale then I ask that you at least consider looking at what I have. And give feedback or suggest tips of your own, the reason I posted it in the DCC was so discussion could be had and so that, ultimately, people would be able to save as much money as possible while getting what they want.

Ugh, Steam Winter Sale...the time when I catch up on the games I wanted to play from this year that I never got around to buying, and then marathon them in the next month before I do my top 10 list.
Thankfully I played most of the games I wanted to this year, but I'd still like to pick up Valiant Hearts and a few other odds and ends. Maybe Child of Light too if it's cheap enough.
Agreed with this! It would actually be really awesome to have some discussion on the steam sales here on PC this year. Especially since there'll be plenty of Flash Sales and plenty to discuss. It could be a great way to ensure users get some good advice and are ensured they get a good deal.
On the Shall We Date? games on Android tablets how do I get free game money? I need it to get an event item before the end of the month when it expires?
Has anyone heard that there might be a next gen Nintendo console in the works? That's what I've heard when they said that the next major Mario game will be on that~
Yeah, I heard rumors about that too. And I'm with CharChar; please wait a bit before making a new console. Major gaming companies really shouldn't feel the need to **** new games and systems out at the speed of light.
Developing it does not mean it's releasing soon. We first heard about this a year ago. Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo... they all work on their next console before their previous one is even released
At the same time, 3DS sales are cratering and Wii U has been dead in the water sales-wise since it released. Nintendo is going to have to have some new hardware in the next year or two, and with all their talk of unified console/handheld architecture, I'm thinking we'll see their next console and handheld release not too far apart from each other.
They can't keep bleeding money on a console that's a commercial flop and a rapidly declining handheld.
I don't think new hardware will resurrect them though. As interesting as the unified architecture would be with all that opens up, they need to adjust their thinking and gain some partners before launching something new.
I think that's what the Wii U is serving as at the moment. Like a weather balloon. Bandai-Namco, Platinum Games, whoever they've tapped for Star Fox, some growing indie support. I think Nintendo knows they can't launch new hardware where they're the sole developer for a long while again.

I think things will work out. Won't be a monopoly style wunder hit like Apple and the iOS ecosystem, but its going to be gaming's first equivalent, and I can see it making a good sized splash. Especially cause its Nintendo, if they work in Amiibo's, the fresh direction taken by the N3DS, and the freedom indies see on the Wii U all across multiple hardware SKU's with feature parity, all within a be anywhere do all this attitude then maybe, just maybe it will. But yeah, I am not sure if Nintendo even has the capabilities for creating Nintendo OS in the first place, let alone have a handheld/console that work as two sides of the same coin.

That's because of how quickly technology improves these days. They might start designing a console with one thing and have a better thing be available late into their console. So they start working with that new tech while they can by starting to develop the next console. The gaming industry has just evolved to keep up with the computer electronics industry.
