I’m not seeing “Invite to Trade” when I right click.

1. Open the Steam app.

2. From the pull down menu, select Friends -\> View Friends List. This should pop up a separate window listing all your friends.

3. Find the friend you want to trade with; they must be online in order for this to work.

4. Either right-click or select the little downward pointing triangle next to their name, then select “Invite to Trade”.

5. Once they have accepted your trade offer, you’ll get a separate window where you can make the actual trade. Hopefully you can take it from there.

Ah! I was looking at my friends list in the wrong place. Much thanks!

I just sent friend invites to several of you.

I’d like to get at least the first Crusader Kings badge. I need The Voyage, The Runestone, and The Khan. I’m willing to trade anything.

I have a Dark Alchemist. Maybe we can work something out.

Sorry I haven’t been on (as DeLapin); **Johnny Bravo** and **CapnPitt** , do you still need cards from me? I haven’t done any trading at all yet.

I don’t think so. And no problem at all.

I only need a Prison Architect card to complete the Sightseer badge.

I have extras of:  
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare  
Football Manager 2013  
Reus  
Skyrim

I have an extra Living Wood from Terraria to trade.  
I have an extra Lutece Twins from Bioshock Infinite as well.

No problem. Just wanted to make sure you weren’t still waiting.

Borderlands 2: I have an extra Handsome Jack, I need Gaige, Axton, Maya, and Salvador.

Torchlight 2: I have an extra Outlander, I need a Berserker, Embermage, Engineer, and Videran.

Gratuitous Space Battles: I have 2 Parasites cards.

FTL: I was an idiot and sold 4 cards so I have none in this collection ☹

In hindsight this card system really favors having a large library of games (that use the card system) since having a small collection of games and ZERO friends on Steam really screws me over. Also shame on me for selling off my FTL cards for pennies on the dollar, not knowing that you don’t get more cards- its “X number of cards that can be earned by playing” and once you hit that threshold, that’s it. I should’ve known better :smack:

**Incubus** I am happy to trade your Outlander for an Engineer if you still want to. I have sent you an invite as sweet chemist.

I had reset my password recently, and it says I can’t trade until after 5 days 😛

But I’ll definitely trade it to you when I’m able!

No worries, I had the same problem as well. I guess I will hear from you in 5 days then.

At this point I’m really only interested in Crusader Kings II and Skyrim cards. I’ll trade any other cards I have if anyone is interested.
