It doesn't take into account Steam sale prices. I did not pay $140 for my games, more like $30. That's a huge difference.

It can't. And no, I didn't pay $750 either (closer to $100). Because Humble Bundles aren't included either.
Right, but the "value" then is a fairly fluid metric based on what people will actually pay and the like, so it is just a rough estimate.

If they even did get the purchase date of the product, correlating that with every steam sale is probably nigh impossible.

It's the value of the games you have, not their purchase price.
