Onwards to level 5 (Rants + 2 lvl3 giveaways)[ended]

so.....I'm just here to rant about random things. Just skip to the bottom for Giveaways

How I came to acquire Just Cause 3

One day I went to pick up some products to better cool my PC. Namely thermal compound and 2 case fans. It just so happened that the i7 Intel promotion ended that day so the guy who handed my order, gave me one of those vouchers for free and thus i acquired JC3. That's about when I came back to steamgifts and gave away the CS:GO that came with it.

much w0w keep goin

I spent countless weeks contemplating what to do since i discovered due to an Amazon price glitch it became bundled. Ok not really countless ,I just kind of left it alone. Since I'm not too into singleplayer FPS campaign games, i decided not to redeem it myself (plus i feel like i have too many games hoarded up at the moment that I've been meaning to play). Anyway since it's a bundled game, I would only get $9 real CV, so I decided to try and trade it.

what a baboon, why would you try to trade

So i made a trade thread, initially trying to sell for $30 or trade for games i wanted. After about 10 or so bumps and 0 comments, I bothered promoting my trade thread through about 11 giveaways (i even mentioned there was a giveaway link(lego batman3 ended only 13 entries) in the trade thread but to no avail, acquired no replies. Looking around I also tried browsing other people's trades who wanted JC3. At this point I was offering it for $23 or 11 tf2 keys and everywhere i commented i got declined. i ventured on to new avenues to offer my JC3 key i.e. reddit

reddit trading ribbit

Now I rarely use reddit but seeing as it seems pretty popular, i made some posts. I came across SteamGameSwap and tried my luck there. Turns out my supposedly cheap $23 just couldnt beat the redditors with an existing monopoly and offering low prices. I saw some guy's post gradually decrease his price over a few days to $23 and thought I had a glimpse of hope. Turning right around there corner I come across someone selling it for $20. -flips table-

etc rant about reddit

recently someone posted some free steam keys on a reddit post and i just so happened to see it. this guy didnt bother doing any fancy editing to prevent simple copy and pastes. I managed to snipe 3 out of 10 keys and so i left a thanks to the guy and regrettably mentioned i took 3. now that post has acquired -18points. well at least my comment karma only got deducted by 1 (i only have 6 now, see i rarely use reddit). anyways as with all key drop posts, there are bound to be people who just speculate bots took them all. Honestly i feel like this is like believing in aliens, they probably exist but you can't confirm it. all i did was copy and paste, alt tabbed to steam and redeem key. I had people calling me greedy etc and then people blaming bots. I'm just thinking to myself, you guys come in hours late and get mad, and ultimately wouldn't you prefer someone real got the keys(and i was the only one who bothered thanking the OP). well not gonna bother with reddit anymore. PS: i got 1 foil from the 3 games lol

How to describe the trade community

A place filled with lowballers and people looking to offer bundled/free games for triple a titles. You leave an offer on someone's trade and expect a reply when they're online? Dont be daft. You wait a day or two and see they were online within that time frame and still expect a reply? Go delete your comment man. Think your prices are fair? There's always someone cheaper.

wow you seem mad, take a chill pill

Ok. i go buy 2 copies of Lego Marvel Super Heroes, 1 for me to hoard(and hopefully find some time to play) and 1 for you. ok i give up on trying to sell/trade Just Cause 3(i just wanted StarDew Valley and The Culling, is that too much to ask. Fine, i'll go buy them)

Square Enix Easter Surprise Box

I like it. I haven't tried Final Fantasy before and look forward to play it. Though already you can see people trying to trade up the games for something like The Division and you can see people offering cheap games like there's no tomorrow. Wish my trade thread had replies like that.

hard to search in trade

I dunno but I'd really appreciate if the trade threads could also be sorted by thread start date and if there features when making a thread that explicitly allowed you to state what you have and what you want (checkboxes perhaps) e.g. TF2 key, bundled games, Paypal etc because honestly when you try to search for stuff, e.g. you want something, trades with people wanting the same thing appear as they may clarifying what haves they want to trade for it. It'd also be nice if you could exclude results with specific words. absolute cancer when searching for The Culling and every result seems to only be for The Culling of the Cows. Moooo. #terrible@explaining

If you're blacklisted either you've won one of my giveaways before and didn't leave a thanks, denied my trade offer or i just plainly don't like you for reasons.

Sorry if you read through the whole thing. I'm bored and procrastinating. I'm probably all over the place since I typed up half of this at 3am, then slept and only got about 3.5hrs of sleep cause i had uni,came back and finished it off #proofreadingfornoobs
