Here the typical discussion you get when dealing with so called "traders": :D

You: Hi, I see you have Game X of Humble Bundle "Even Cheaper than Cheap" Tier 1
SuperFacko: Yes. 3 Keys.
You: Hmmm.... But that is a little too much, it was in a bundle on Tier 1, so it is worth less than one ToD
SuperFacko: Yes, it WAS. Now it is only available at normal price which is €20. So 3 Keys is cheap.
You: Hmppfff.. ?. Okay, I have Game Y of Humble Bundle "Cheaper than Cheap" Tier 1. You wrote you are looking for it.
SuperFacko: Yes.
You: Ok, then let's trade 1:1
SuperFacko: Ehhh, noooo.... because your game was in a bundle on Tier 1it is not worth much. If I buy it, I would only pay some Refs for it.
SuperFacko: But I am nice guy and I would trade with you when you give me 2 Keys
You: Hrrrrrrmmmmpppfffffff?????? Wooooooot? But it WAS cheap! Now it is at normal price, €20, again...
You: Some seconds before YOU said...
SuperFacko went offline....

I should have kept a log, but my favourite ever trade conversation went about like this...

(I accepted a random friend request while playing Borderlands 2)
Him: I saw you on steam trades.
(I was offering surplus bundle games for ref or trading cards at the time)
Me: Yes?
Him: I sell you Minecraft account.
(Not what I was expecting)
Me: I don't want Minecraft.
Him: You are trader you will buy for paypal.
Me: That isn't what I was trading for. I don't want Minecraft. I'm not buying or selling accounts for anything. I'm in a boss fight.
Him: You will buy. You can trade. You will profit.
Me: No.
Him: It is a good trade. You will profit.
Me: No.
Him: Why don't you want profit?
Me: Why don't you find somebody who wants Minecraft and trade to them and profit?
Him: Fuck you and your gay marriage country.
Him: Enjoy your gay diseases.
(Several minute interval while I shoot robots and thought the conversation had finished)
Him: You buy Minecraft account. Good trade. You will profit.
Me: No.
Him: Fuck your mother.

Still surprised I didn't get -rep for that one...

I got an offer of pick 2 free games from a list for my 3 HB monthly ones on barter. It was mind-boggling :D

It can be even worse with those single Tier BundleStars bundles.
10 games for 4.99, suddenly appear for 1CSGO each(!) when the bundle is still running strong...

I should tell those people to talk slow, as I'm not fluent in stupid...

This is why I stopped trading on SteamTrades, and only trade these days on lestrades and barter. You get an offer, you either accept or decline, dont have to deal with people like him.
