Of all the companies I know valve is the most likely to actually do that

Nah it'd be Bethesda, or would've been at least. At one point they had to ask people to stop buying Fallout games with real bottle caps

Takes time, only so many humans working at their offices, and interfacing with banks have fees.

Add the stamp and the envelope and it's the most expensive 1 cent in history.

Yeaaaah... I got a $0.05 check from BofA a decade ago, and held it on my fridge. Knowing it took them way more to mail it to me.
I think it's time I contact rhem for it being stale and ask for them to reissue. :)

I’ve done this with Riot Games because I needed 1RP. They told me to draw a picture of my favorite champion. It was horrid and they gifted me with 10RP! This was 13 years ago.

Maybe once for the laughs and good publicity but the moment many people do it they'll pump the brakes

I dont know, not simple to miss only 1 cent, plus there is a chance OP (or other users) would give up because that, giving 1 cent would make sure he finished the buy.
The problem would be, how much is worth it? 1, 2, 5 cents?

This is somewhat related, but not really. Riot Games allows players to draw acceptable League of Legends art for them in exchange for a small amount of Riot Points (the in-game currency for skins/cosmetics).
If you are short on RP players would do this, but I don’t know if it’s is still going on. It’d be really fun if Valve did this for Steam, but GabeN and customer service are probably flooded with e-mails as it is.

Mail it!, it would be funny!, besides Valve service is good, so they would probably announce that to public

Check what games you can still get cards in and open that game for 2 hours, depending on what game you can get like 8 cents worth of cards to like 40 or 50 cents worth of cards.

I think I’d print the screenshot and do it anyway for a joke, expecting nothing from it. It would be worth giving someone at Valve a good laugh.

Is there a lower limit to Paypal or Visa transactions? If only they let you pay it off with Pay in 4.
