I really wanted a HIB 7 BTA, so I made a thread in steamtrades for it, and offered The Walking Dead for it. Someone added me, and asked me to go first. I did so, because I didn't really have any rep, and he had lots of rep on his profile, a bunch of +rep and "good trader" comments. Well, I gave him the game, and he gave me a used url, so it didn't work. He then blocked me. THEN I checked steamrep, and lo and behold, he was a listed scammer. I really hate myself now.

Edit: The worst part is, I don't even care about TWD, just that I didn't get the bundle.

Edit: The guy was http://steamcommunity.com/id/733581001111260369711664/ , Michael_B.I.G.

Take care DJ9999. Steamrep is good to see before trading, but always suspect "too good" trades. Contact steamsupport if TWD was giftable.

Unfortunately it is becoming more difficult to encounter honest people to trade.

Sorry to hear about your loss. It's a crying shame when you can't even trust someone when doing a simple trade. I know people nowadays are out for themselves, but still this is bull.

If I had another humble bundle #7 I would give it to you.

There was someone that tried to scam me yesterday his name was PR!ME JAKE I believe he had a vac ban on his records and he was from Belgium. He added me and tried to convince me that he would give me dead island first as a trust gift then I would give him my game code then he would give me the same code just on steam which is what I wanted a Steam version for my uplay version. Only to find out he didn't even have any rep let alone a account on the site then when I told him the buyer went first after he tried to convince me he called me the worst seller hes ever seen I kind of laughed at that so watch out for that guy too if he ever adds you.

Issues like getting "free" (sort of, sometimes) games and money?

There is no problem trading, you just have to know and have a trading method if you're trading for cdkeys/money.

Never go first if you have the higher value item. Even if it's a key. For a trade like this where your item was worth like twice as much you could have gotten tons of people to go first.

wow my first trade was sanctum for deus ex dlc. The person told me to buy it and send the gift first so as i was about to send it the person says they didn't want it anymore after knowing i bought it...it wasn't a scam but a dick move making me buy a game that i didn't want. The person started saying "lol haha you bought the game!" But i played sanctum and it turned out to be a great game! So i learned unless i'm in control of a trade i won't trade with anyone plus steamrep helps as well.

Guess Im a minor with good first trade experience. I have traded like 5 or 6 (yea, it ain't much :P) times and never got scammed, also almost everytime went first.

I've traded plenty on TF2 before I got scammed, and it was harder than yours. I lost BL GOTY and Dungeons Gold thanks to that, but at least I now know to never go first, especially when trading for non-gifts. And I keep proof just in case.
