wanted to buy SAW, game that already not available on Steam (no idea because they took him out)

I contacted someone who had it in their inventory to try to trade ... But when asked about the value, I said that $ 60 dollars ... because it is not on Steam

Oh GOD! is seriously? for SAW? $60 dolars? so I did what anyone would have done it, so remove Steam and goodbye

Now, a game that removed steam (game that is not the big thing) and they have some person, can cost around $60 dollars?

Seriously, 60 dollars, a stupidity

You want the game, and they know you don't have a lot of places to go. They can set whatever they want, and the only way you can do something about it is find someone else with a tradable copy.
Unless there are sites which sell keys anyway.

Tradable gifts of games removed from Steam become rarities, somewhat. Since you can't get them from anywhere else the trader can set the price as high as they like.

You can still easily obtain retail copies

But those don't go into your inventory. That's why giftable copies go up so much when a game is removed from Steam even if you can buy it other places.

A retail copy won't put a tradable gift in your inventory though will it?

I don't know if it's a Steamworks title though.

And don't pay that money for that.

Just buy it one other sides, when you need it on Steam you have to pay him the $60.

He wanted SAW, he met someone that was selling it for $60, he thought the seller was crazy and removed him from his friends list. Also Steam removed SAW from its catalog.

That's how collections work. I collect some rare games, and would you believe some Gamecube or PS2 or even Gameboy Advance games can go for over 60 dollars? I sold Castlevania Aria of Sorrow for a good 60 bucks, and the original Disgaea was worth 80 at one point.

I had Saw on xbox, and I can tell you one thing. Steam or not, I'd rather take a dried piece of nasty turd over a copy of that game, for eating purposes. Believe me, you don't want it.

And this pricing thing is also ridicoulous. I was only looking for Second Sight on ST without any kind of success (nobody had it), and since the game was originally 5 euros I thought I had a chance for a good trade, yet the only people that ever replied to me kept pointing to the fact that I'd need something worth far more than the original price to get it. So I decided to get it for a playstation 2 again, once I get a working one. Because it's 3 bucks in the bargain bin for that. And because I get a fucking box and manual with it.

The only reason you feel this was important enough to write a thread about is because you really want it on steam, but it is very rare. So it is worth $60. I understand you do not want to pay that much, and that the game itself it not worth that much, but the rarity means that some people will pay that much.

Hell in a dozen years it quite possibly will be worth many times that.

really, I found it quite cheeky at asking anything from $ 60 dollars, so I made this topic ... SAW not value at $ 60 dollars

maybe they add it back for sale. this has already happened with 2 games.

the game is crap though torrent it, play it till board (about less than 1 hour), delete it and than got you where smart enuff not to have wasted $60 on that shit. get your friend a good game.

Depends GREATLY on the game in question. Some games, like say Prey, have cheap and abundant CD keys that register on Steam and as such have no real value. Games like say Neverwinter Nights Platinum that you can ONLY get on your steam account by getting a tradable copy do indeed go for rather insane amount of money.

That being said, I don't know what SAW goes for exactly as I did a giveaway with my spare copy although the longer it stays removed from the steam the more the price will likely go up.
