I was looking at my inventory, and noticed a few gift items sitting there. I've got:

  • 1x Steam Community Beta Access
  • 2x AirMech 2 [NO LONGER VALID]
  • 3x Steam Trading Card Beta

So I have two main questions:

  1. What can I do with the invalid gifts? I can't delete them or use them (it says I already have it). If I send it to some throw-away address, will it leave my inventory?
  2. What should I do with the beta ones? If these have been rolled out to everyone already, which I think they have, these gifts are kind of useless. Does anyone not have them and want them? Let me know. Or should I just delete them? (These, I can delete.)

I'd just like to clean up my inventory a bit. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Isn't that calling out? He's not begging as OP was asking what he can do with them and this is a possible answer...

Collectible items, so in other words, pretty useless.

If you send to a random e-mail, they'll remain in your inventory until they're claimed. Unless they still give the badge for using them, then I don't see a point of keeping them.

Thanks, I thought they were kind of useless at this point. I guess they could be viewed as collectible items then. If there's no inventory cap, I suppose there's no harm in keeping them. But is there any particular benefit to doing so, besides maybe bragging rights? (I was around for X -- see, I have the items to prove it!)

Use the beta ones and send the rest to the trashbot.

You could do what I do and start collecting them. lol

Check out my inventory, I have a "modest" collection so far, I've been collecting for about 9 months or so.

There is absolutely no benefit from it, I view it somewhat along the lines of someone who collects modern "used" postage stamps. (Neither have any monetary value)

To answer a part of question 2, I don't have them. ;/

Would be mildly curious to see if anything can be done with them. I try to avoid waste, so if I can save them from deletion, why not. :)

Invalids... from personal experience, if you try to send it to someone they will be unable to be redeemed. The gift offer also can't be declined so in both cases it ends up back in your inventory.
