With all of the Steam sales that have taken place over the years, chances are that a lot of junk has accumulated over the years. Valve is now offering a chance to trade some of that unused material in for something a little more tangible.

The Steam Holiday Auction will allow Steam users to trade in their unused items, such as Trading Cards and the like, for Steam Gems that can be used for Steam Auctions. Items up for bids include a whole lot of Steam games, which include recent releases like Civilization: Beyond Earth, The Talos Principle, and This War of Mine. The first Steam Auction is set to begin on Monday morning, with a new one happening every 45 minutes until Thursday, December 18.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?

      It just occurred to me that if they allowed you to trade in games, you'd have a never ending cycle of people buying games in a sale, forgetting about them, trading them in because they never played them, then buying them again in another sale.

      I can't seem to recycle anything yet, has anyone else had luck doing this?
