Long story short - ever since I started earning my own money, I started buying more and more bundles. Now I've got around 110-120 keys in my Excel sheet plus whatever is lying around from bundles (so in total it should be around 170). I wanted to ask about ideas what to do with them.

I don't want to give all of them on steamgifts, because - let's be honest - I'm too lazy to do 170 giveaways manually and they are cheap bundle stuff anyway (I'll pick some good ones and throw them here once I'll figure out what to do with rest).
I was thinking about giving all of them to my cousin and ask him to idle some of this stuff - that's an option too, but maybe with your help I'll figure out something more interesting.

So - if you have any nice ideas what should I do with those keys, shout out here, I'm open for any suggestion! (Except "give them all to me/my group" - this is not an option).

Create a giveaway group, give them away in chat events or stuff like that. The only problem is that it'll take an effort to do it.
Or, create a key drops thread, drop them there.

Oh, you could also trade them out, but it's lots of work.

You could trade them for the games you don't have.

At this point I have no idea what games I don't have, and I don't think there is one I'd really want right now

It seems every one has these games even though hundreds enter for them here. I have tried to trade these games for trading cards or even bundle games. No on wants to trade and it is not worth the effort. When ever I feel I have a couple free hours I place a gift here in SGs. No one says you have to give them all at once.

do like most people and create a thread on steam trade with all your leftlovers and trade them for games you don't have yet (be careful for scammers though)

Hi mate, I like to invite you to our bundle giveaway group Bundle Quest.
Exchanging and giving spare bundle keys is exactly what this group is for.

You misunderstood the post. He's inviting the OP to join the group, which creates giveaways for bundle games.

Group Buys Bundle Leftovers. You can sell your leftovers at a fair split price.. Giving them away in exchange for the card drops is also another idea. Sometimes the cards drops are ≥ the price you it would cost in a bundle split.

Let me get this straight: you are to lazy to do giveaways, you don't want to just give them all away and you have no idea what anymore games you would want, so trading is not an option (though it's a lot of fun and you eventually meet nice people). Maybe giving them to your cousin is not the worst idea after all.

Giving them to charity is an option, of course, but what kind of charity does want old bundle game keys?

A crazy idea I'm having: write the codes on little notepads and spread them all over your city. Or drop them anywhere on the world wide web, wherever you find an open field to post stuff with much effort.

I second that idea. 170 sticky notes with a key and maybe an e-mail address to gather some responses to cause heartwarming feelings. It would be even better if Krosa was a traveller or got some reliable friends/relatives across the country involved.

  2. idle cards,
  3. trade cards to main,
  4. sell = profit

Keep some to make some puzzles, but it requires some work :)

Run a social experiment. :)
EDIT: Second idea. Just give a key to the first ~170 unique commenters on this thread. They can do whatever they want with it - trade it away, let it rot, add it to their own spreadsheets forever and ever. Doesn't matter. It's none of your business anymore. Quick, easy, no hassle. No ninjas, no greedy bastards, and (hopefully) evenly distributed!

Unless of course you're trying to give the keys to people that actually want them... but that would require much more effort.

Well, if I were You I would probably drop all of them somewhere for fast ninjas (yea, I like ninjas) or give all of them to someone who could distribute them further (make contests, giveaways etc.). All You said apply (having no time, being too lazy and so on). There is no other way to get rid of such amount of keys if You're lazy :P

Write down the numbers and letters from all the keys and use them to write a story.

Since you are too lazy to make 170 giveaways.. there are 2 options ahead.
1.Activate them in your own account..or in a new one and sell it or trade it for something.
2.Delete them all.Problem solved.

well:

  • just activate them on your account
  • look for players from a region with low income and relatively high steam prices (for example eastern european countries inside euro zone) and gift some keys to them.
  • sell the whole list on ebay
  • let them rot

Don't create 100+ giveaways at once. Do one per day. It could be fun.

You have some friends on Steam? Just give them a list, a let them pick one or two game out of them. So you will get atleast some of the away and some of the games you consider awful may be enjoyable for them. One of my Steam friends posted a list in the activity feed. Other than gifting or trading?

......

Burn your pc with the files on them and set the keys free. It would be the least amount of work and I don't know anyone who isn't enjoying a small camp fire.

Give some to people you think would enjoy them, trade a few for other games you may like or just not have, and whatever is left after that create giveaways for. :)
