I'm in England and I very very badly want the Quake Con bundle. All my credit cards and cash are in America, and I return to America on the 8th, 3 days after the bundle deal ends. Can I strike up a deal with anybody where they buy the bundle and I buy them several games they want that accumulates to something in between $110-$130? Thanks for reading this, and I apologize if I sound desperate, needy or anything like that. EDIT: I forgot to detail, for safety reasons to ensure you will not be scammed you will hold the bundle in your inventory until I can pay you back on the 8th or 9th.
EDIT 2: A user who posted on this thread came up with a good idea, contact someone I know and see if they can give me their CC info to buy the bundle and give him money in exchange. So far I haven't gotten a reply, so now I'm just looking for someone who'll buy it on the last day of the sale if I don't get a response.
EDIT: I found someone who's helping me out, so I'm closing this topic.

This sounds... too fishy to be true

You would keep the bundle in your inventory until I can get the games you want.

Thanks for being positive to me. :) To be honest, I've never played an ID game before, but they made all the classic FPSes. (Except for Duke 3D and Half Life, of course!)

Might be better to do this in steamtrades.

If anyone does this, I recommend you get the pack and don't trade until he gets back. Trust trading is risky and no one ever needs the games that very instant.

I forgot to add this in the OP, I added it in.
Nice catch though, I could've been a scammer!
SteamTrades would work if I had the money present with me right now, but that would make no sense as to pay more for a bundle when I can get the bundle really easily on Steam for cheaper.

Got ignored when I did that, I'll bump it though if I get a confirmation and it's false.

You can just get someone in America (someone you trust, obviously) to send your card's number/CVV to you, and then visit Steam page for your region (http://store.steampowered.com/?cc=us in your case) and just buy it for yourself.

Hmm... I didn't know you can access the US Steam Store in England... I'll contact someone I know and see how it goes. If he doesn't want to send it, then I'll go back to this. Thanks man!

So far I haven't gotten a reply, so just in case I never get a reply I'm bringing this back to life. Edited the OP.

If you've purchased from steam before, they might still have your credit card saved.

I always purchase on Steam, but I always opt out to have my CC info saved.

You can access the US store in England but you still need your CC info. All you need is your credit card and internet access :)

Yeah, I know. Chiasm gave me a link to change the store to the US version in England. I haven't memorized my CC info though so I can't do it with my CC.

Okay, I just found out he has no phone service where he is. Unless he has a laptop, there is no way I can get Quakecon from him.

It's $100. What if you run and don't trade anything back?

It's not easy for the buyer to trade a $100 pack. And it's even harder to sell it.

Yup... I've been waiting since January for this sale, and it happens while I'm in England... Sadly all I can offer is 2 Steamtrades rep and 0 negative points and rep on my Steam profile.
I don't blame anybody for deciding to not take the risk.
