they don't understand the concept of value. someone tried to get 2 copies of Skullgirls for two games from the Origin bundle. told me i was making a huge mistake.

I can trade with you. Direct me to ur trade post or whatever

I don't see a giveaway. :(

I've always followed the basic rule of "even" trading based on current steam values for both items. AKA if both games have a current value of 10 bucks then who care what price either of us paid to get them bundle or not. If I didn't get whatever bundle the game was in and it would be 10 dollars for me to get it now and the same is true for whatever I have to trade them then why shouldn't we both be happy?

Of course I don't go around buying piles of extra bundles to try and trade parts of later. I just end up with occasional extras from bundle overlap here and there.

You know what's sadder? Most of those traders are kids with access to their mom's Credit Card.

One funny thing, they always use the stock price for their items, but when they want someone they find the lowest price the item has been and start from there.

I think it's fair to ask for more than "bundle" price after a bundle has ended. Not 4-5 keys, of course, but at least a key.

well, sadly, there really are people who will pay that much for bundle games. This practice will continue as long as they know that there are people who will agree to pay the outrageous prices.

Well I can proudly call myself a fair user; I know it may not be too humble, but well, it's the truth so why lie? :P
Although I'm not interested in Grandpa leftovers, I have a few things you might or might not like, it's up to you. See my steamtrade profile, talk to me, wathever, I'm all up for meeting new people either for trading, playing games together and whatnot.
Besides you strike me as a funny person, liked the "Mercenaries creeps" line :D

You know I would need to agree with this post I think its annoying to watch people try and get something for nothing. I understand its a common business but that doesnt make it right. I personally don't even bother trying to sell or trade the games I give them to friends I have on my steam account that don't have the games. I spend a lot of my hard earned cash on games and bundles and what not I feel insulted when people try and trade me a game they paid like a dollar for in exchange for a game I paid 30 bucks for. REALLY!? If you can't afford to buy the 30 dollar game don't waste your money buying all the bundles. <.<

I agree entirely. Fucking retards on SG trying to trade bundle games for real games or bundle keys for tf2/dota keys. I can barely use that site any more.

Yeah, just today i found a guy wanting to trade 2 or 3 Origin keys from the bundle for Metro: Last Light... This is just killing me. And whille that happens i need to try to get some of those keys for TF2 items that are worth more money than any one origin game by itself, but of course, they always expect people to fall for their scam.

some days ago I saw a guy acting like an honest man trying to trade origin's bundle steam keys for diablo 3

The sickening is greed

its sad that such things go on.

I saw some of these trades and laughed. Although there were some bundles I missed a while back and its good to know the games I want from those bundles are only a key which I'd dish up if I was impatient.

I would love it if there were a place to 1-to-1 trade bundle keys. It's like a dream to me.

I've only been using Steam for a few months now, and trading is the reason I've been able to get over 100 games. I've been able to get fantastic indies that people trade off for a few cards, a ref, or whatever. I've also met a few really nice people from trading that I talk to regularly now. I hate that all those little kids and scalpers have invaded from the Origin bundle, but it will pass. The same thing happened after the Deep Silver bundle, on a smaller scale. It should die down in a few weeks.

You would think it would be Bundle for Bundle, AMD/NVidia Promo for AMD/NVidia Promo, Skyrim for Fortix. etc etc... life isnt fair I guess

My rule is bundle games for bundle games or sell very cheaply. IE 1-2 ref at most. Obviously sometimes people will offer more (ie someone gave me a TF2 key for Crysis 2), but I agree that most people are just trying to profit. If I have a game I dont want I will give it away or trade it fairly.

They are only worth what people are willing to pay. If people are paying those prices right now, then more power to them. Its highly likely they're not. And after a bit they will lower the price, etc.

Steam trading culture is absolutely horrid. I traded a bit when I first got into Steam during the 2011 holiday sale since I got some free gift copies to trade away, and it didn't take long for me to see how crappy the trade culture is. The more I've heard and read about it since then only validates my opinions on it. I'm glad to be here rather than on ST.

Remember that the trades that you see remaining open are more likely to be unreasonable ones, because those are the ones that don't get closed and which stay there hanging around. They're also the ones people have to advertise most heavily, because if you're offering a reasonable trade, you can find someone faster.

So it's easy to get a distorted view.

I do not overprice bundle games (I consider them worth about 0,75k each once the bundle ended), but I understand who does
