How to Sell Steam Card: Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners (2026)
A Steam Wallet Gift Card in Nigeria sold for 50.0% to 75.1% of its face value on the CoinCola market on 14 October 2026, across 40 live offers, with a median of 73.0%. A $100 Steam card therefore returned roughly $50 to $75 of value, depending on which trader you pick. To sell one, you register on CoinCola, open Gift Card Trade, choose Steam Wallet Gift Card, pick a trader on rate and rating, and confirm. The card is bought for Bitcoin, which you then exchange for naira on the P2P market.
Gift cards have greatly simplified the lives of consumers by eliminating the need to carry credit cards at all times. Steam cards, in particular, offer convenient access to a variety of premium services without any complications. Yet, if you find yourself no longer interested in using a Steam card or wish to convert some of its credit into cash, what steps should you take?
What is Steam Card?
A Steam Card, also sold as a Steam Wallet Gift Card, is a prepaid code that adds credit to a Steam account. You buy it at face value in denominations such as $20, $50 or $100, or in local currency, and redeem it at Steam’s official redemption page. The balance can be spent on games, downloadable content and in-game items on Steam, and nothing else.
Valve’s own terms are explicit about the limits. Per the Steam Subscriber Agreement, “funds added to the Steam Wallet are non-refundable and non-transferable,” and “Steam Wallet funds have no cash value and are not exchangeable for cash.” A card that has already been redeemed also cannot be registered to a second account.
That is the entire reason a secondary market exists. A Steam card bought as a gift, received as payment for freelance work, or won in a giveaway is worth nothing to someone who does not use Steam, and Steam itself offers no way out. Selling the unredeemed code to a buyer who does want it is the only route from an unused card to spendable money.
The Steam Card stands as a digital gateway to a realm of premium gaming and entertainment services, offering users a hassle-free alternative to conventional payment methods. This digital marvel eliminates the need for constant credit card carrying, providing a seamless experience for consumers seeking access to a diverse array of premium content. Whether you’re into gaming or simply exploring the world of digital entertainment, the Steam Card opens doors to a universe of possibilities with ease and convenience.

How Much Is a Steam Card Worth in Nigeria in 2026?
CoinCola’s Nigeria gift card market listed 40 live offers for the Steam Wallet Gift Card on 14 October 2026. Rates ran from 50.0% to 75.1% of face value, with a median of 73.4%. In practice that means a $100 Steam card returned between $50 and $75 of value, and a $20 card returned between $10.00 and $15.02.
Advertised ceilings varied widely between traders: from $100 up to $2,000, with most falling between $100 and $500. The floor was $10 across the market.
Two things move that number, and neither is fixed:
- The trader you pick. The 25.1 percentage point spread between the best and worst offer on the same day is money you keep or lose by choosing. Sort the offer list by rate before you look at anything else.
- The day. Gift card rates are quoted by traders, not set by CoinCola, and they follow demand. Rates typically tighten in December, when demand for gaming and Apple credit is highest, and fall back in January. The rate you see today is not the rate you will see next week.
Because the rates move, the page worth bookmarking is the live Steam Wallet Gift Card board, which shows every open offer at the moment you look.
The percentage is not your exchange rate
This is the mistake that costs Nigerian sellers the most, so it is worth stating plainly. A percentage of face value is not the same thing as an exchange rate.
“75% of face value” tells you how much dollar value you keep. It does not tell you how many naira you get per dollar. To find that out, do one division:
naira received ÷ dollar face value of the card = your real naira per dollar
A $100 card traded at 73% gives you $73 of value. If the naira amount the trader pays works out to ₦109,000, your effective rate is ₦1,090 per dollar of card value. That single figure is the only one you can compare against the rate you would get selling the same value anywhere else. Run every offer through that division before you accept it, and use the live converter as your reference point for the current market rate.
What to check before you accept an offer
- Rate first, then reputation. Work down the list by rate. Once you have the top two or three, compare trader rating and completed trade count. A trader with a 99% feedback score and tens of thousands of completed trades is the reason a 0.5% better rate is worth taking.
- Whether the trader asks for a receipt. Some offers require the original purchase receipt, others do not. Check before you trade so you are not caught without it.
- The fee. Taking an offer someone else has already posted is free, and for a single card that is the only route you need. If you post your own gift card offer instead, CoinCola charges a 4.00% gift card trading fee on the transaction amount, collected after the order completes. Do not confuse that with the 0.70% rate, which applies to fiat offers, not gift cards. CoinCola’s fee page lists both lines separately.
- The ceiling. If your card is $200, filter out every trader whose maximum is below that before you start comparing.
- Whether the code is valid before you trade it. If a redemption has already failed or you are unsure whether a code is still live, Steam’s own gift card support wizard is the first place to check, before you send the code to anyone.
Escrow. On CoinCola the crypto side of the trade is held in escrow from the moment the order is placed. The trader’s Bitcoin is locked before you hand over the code, and released to you when the trade completes. A typical gift card trade settles in 10 to 25 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Between $50 and $75 of value, based on the 50.0% to 75.1% of face value offered on the CoinCola Nigeria market on 14 October 2026. The naira amount depends on the rate at the time you trade, so read the naira figure off the live offer board rather than assuming the dollar value converts at the official rate.
The lowest floor across live offers was $10. Some traders set their minimum higher, so check the minimum on each offer before you start a trade.
CoinCola’s gift card market typically settles a trade in 10 to 25 minutes. The main variable is how quickly you send the code and the trader confirms it.
No. A Steam Wallet code is single-use: it either redeems in full or not at all, and a code that has already been redeemed has no resale value. The same applies to a balance already sitting in a Steam wallet, because Steam wallet credit cannot be transferred to another account. Only unredeemed, unused codes can be sold.
It depends on the trader. Some offers require the original receipt, and others are marked as receipt-optional. Check the offer before you accept it. If you are selling a card you received as a gift and have no receipt, filter for the offers that do not ask for one.
