people are selling it hib BTA gift links for 1 key each (which is like around 2$ each)

How so cheap when it clear value is 6$ ?

No, they are not retarded...

I hope I find someone who is selling at this price, i will buy tons of bundles from him :(

But why exactly is it so? Any idea?

Edit: Found half the secret - Can i give an ST link for that or will i get suspended?

They are probably selling bundles without the bonuses.

How do you know that?

Think about it, what kind of person would buy HiB keys and then sell them off? Scumbags, presumably. And scumbags aren't typically known for being completely honest.

A week ago when this thread was opened, STAB didn't state or imply that he had actually received a bundle. In light of the the nature of his inquiry, it was reasonable to assume he hadn't done a trade; he was investigating whether this ultra-cheap source of HIBs was trustworthy or not.

They're not selling BTAs for 1 TF2 key. They're selling it (e.g. Nordic BTA) for 2 TF2 keys + 3 or something refined metals. Yeah, but still, It's interesting point.

thats not how you steal a credit card itd be more accurate to say stolen credit card details ie work at a retail place and nab till reciepts with card details on then use said details to buy crap online, virtual purchases are difficult to trace so thus perfect for fraud

Except receipts no longer contain any info besides the last 4 digits of the card which isn't going to do all that much. That's been true for quite a few years now by law (at least in the US).

How they actually do it is when you hand your card to the person, they pull off a quick swipe in a reader that gets all your details and it only takes a couple of seconds of the card being out of your sight. Other methods unsecured wi-fi, keyloggers, and phishing websites.

This is why you should be careful when handing your card to an employee, because it only takes a couple of seconds of your card being out of your sight to have it be stolen. And never do online banking or online purchases on an unsecured connection. Wired connections are the safest, encrypted wireless is also fine. Most larger store chains have card readers by the register and the customer swipes the card themselves now because of the fact that many are wary to hand their cards over to an employee and it benefits the company by reducing opportunities for theft from customers.

A trader once gave me 2x Kalypso weekly BTA + 3x Kalypso non-BTA for pretty much free. One of them (which wasn't a gift URL like the rest) ended up becoming a "bad key" a week or two later but surprisingly nothing's happened to the other URLs...yet. I'm guessing they do a PayPal chargeback after trading, which would seem the most plausible method because, as mentioned before, so many people using stolen credit cards is ridiculous.

Search "Nordic Games" on SteamTrades. I couldn't find those 1 key threads either, but there are a lot of people asking for 2 keys, which is still less than the BTA price. People were selling $1 bundles for 1 key before, now they're selling a $6 bundle for 2 keys? There is obviously something we don't know about.

hmm strange I found one trader like 25-30 minutes ago that was selling it for 1 key, yes BTA, already bought it for 2 keys though.

Look at sellers selling $6.00 BTA bundles for 2 tf2 keys. Fewer than 20 steam rep or most of rep is 1-2 weeks old, Steam account recently created with few bundle games. I'm guessing credit card fraud. I wonder who eats the loss Humble? Do keys get retracted and you lose games in Steam due to fraud. Buyers Beware. Trading key for stolen goods may come back to you.

This is really fishy, looks like people, who know each other, sell BTA bundles below their purchase price. Here one of them is advertising his friends who also have such threads on SteamTrades:

Those keys, like ARMA3, bought illegally.
The problem is that people dont really care when its so cheap. For example, there is a, for example, Best Trader guy on steamtrades. Guy got registered his steam account 3 weeks ago, added Paradox Big Kahuna Bundle key and his account looks like very nice with 125 games in it.

What he is trading? Arma 3 and others staff in steam keys. During 1st week on steamtrades with 0 rep he always went first in trades and traded those keys for very cheap (ARMA3 key for 60 cards, Big Kahuna Bundle for CS GO gift) During this week he got +55 rep... he is now totally trustworthy guy. And his prices also went up :D He is also selling weekle BTA for 2 tf2 keys (after some negotiations he is willing go to for 1 tf2 key).

Its up to people, because they want unreal cheap games so much that they dont even care if their Steam account (or games just would be removed) may be suspended due to withdraw of the payments for those keys.

GL :D

You can buy Humble Bundle with Bitcoin...

So, if these guys do Bitcoin farming, they are able to buy and sell humble bundles at a low price...simple as that

Instead of selling their BTC for 6 $, they buy the bundle for 6$ and sell it for 2$, what a strategy

This seems quite odd. I hope we'll find out how this is possible. And it doesn't appear to be limited to a few. Quite a few people seem to offer this kind of uneven trade.

I do wonder how it is possible. But if something fishy is going on, hopefully a warning will appear on ST and SG. And hopefully only the games would be revoked. Quite a lot of unintentional/"unknowing" people would get their accounts suspended then.

I doubt that, some of myfriend was unlucky to buy a copy of Humble Origin Bundle BTA, in the end the Key Page disappeared, the Origin Game (BF3, Sim 3) disappeared from Origin Account, BUT ALL THE STEAM GAME REMAIN IN LIBRARY. That being said, Steam not really checking all the Steam Retail Key Source, even Amazon don't have a way to revorke the Exploited Game they given out (Tony guy from Amazon already public that info)...
