How would a middleman help if you're trading keys?
They couldn't check if the key was taken without activating it for themselves. Even if they already own the game, they can only check if the key is legit -- if it's been used, Steam doesn't tell you.

What can you do about it? Learn from your mistakes and move on.
Also possibly what Movac suggested and give him a black mark on SteamRep.
This is exactly why I don't trade keys, despite the fact that I have some pretty nice ones on hand. Not worth the heartache.

The whole idea that because someone has rep posted somewhere for them (on their profile or otherwise) then they're trustworthy is a complete load of crap. It doesn't matter if they have 1,000,000 +rep's and 100% 'positive feedback'. If you don't know them then common sense dictates that you should NOT trust them with anything, let alone with valuable items.
