Poll: Do you want "Want to trade/want to buy/looking for" etc posts in the form?

Nope, there are better places for that then a site devoted to giving away games.
Seems to me it goes against the entire purpose of the site.
If you want to sell or trade a game that's fine but you should probably do it somewhere intended for that purpose.

No! I mean there are special sites for trading (reddit,...) and this is a site for giving. Its Steamgifts not Steamtrade!

I'd say direct them to the SGS forums for trade offers.

Maybe just a trading of Steam games?

Trading, HOWEVER. To trade games there has to be a RIGEROUS verification process in place to prevent scamming. For instance, "Verified" People(Them being people that have successfully traded game(s) and have that verified). Never go first, as they are already trusted.

Something like that. Buying/Selling seems too risque for me.

I think there is nothing wrong with it. Sure, "steamgifts is not steamtrade" as metalmanijak said, but no one said this is going to be the main point of the site. There could be a separate post/forum section on this.... However, there is the possibility that people may turn selfish and attempt to use the site just for trading (unlikely from a community that is invite only, but there were some random invites given in the past, so can't be sure) or there might be scamming as Moose said. Maybe we can have a sticky in the forum directing all people looking to trade their gifts to the parent site steamgamesales' trade section? That would both help those that wish to trade and also prevent the site's forums from having a trade section (though I find nothing wrong with that personally, but others might/do)... However, bear in mind that since this site is invite only and sgs is open to all, the risk of scamming is much higher on sgs that sg; anyone can just open an alt account for scamming on steam and get a username on sgs. Not so for sg.... Just food for thought...

i won't mind, if there would be a separate subforum for that, which i might ignore. but I don't like the forum as it is now (it's a bit crowded) and if it's not changing any time soon, i would prefer those topics go somewhere else.

I personally wouldn't mind, but the arguments against it seem strong.

Trades will decrease the gifts as gifters might want to get a bot more than a "Thank you" for their extra copies...

yeeeeeeee

Nope

No, Cult!

Stop drinking!

No.

No

if am correct trading steam gifts is against steam's rules.

This site has enough problems with people behaving / not doing shady things without adding trading into the mix.

I wouldn't mind all that, as long as it's in a sub-forum and doesn't clutter the part of the forums, which is devoted to Steamgifts.
Since I'm already at it, a "subscribe to thread" and a "show threads with unread posts" feature would be great as well.

No!

there should be a new site, using the last of the four ps icons as icon.. steamtrades.com?

Isn't that the purpose of steamgamesales.com ?

In my opinion, it is kinda disrespectful to trade games on a gifting site. There are plenty of other places to make trades.

No. and I don't want a new level of scams that the mods have to look out for and police. There are better sites for it.

People will just fill up the forums looking for trades instead of gifting (although I know a median amount will still gift willingly)

No, not on steamgifts.com

It's not necessary to have one of SteamGifts since that's what SGS is for.

I don't mind, but it'll need its own sub-forum. Buyers and sellers will also need to leave feedback on each other pages.

No.
