So impulse buys, sales, bundles, they all take their toll on our wallets. What’s more, often we end up with extra copies of games… or at least I do.

I figure we should have a Steam trade/giveaway thread, specially after a major sale where we can gift/trade games with fellow dopers, 'cause dopers are good peoples (except for Beef).

I’ve got extra copies of:

Metro 2033  
Dirt 2  
Defense Grid  
Torchlight 1

Any takers?

FEAR  
Magicka  
The Walking Dead

PM me if you want any of these - make sure to include your Steam username. It’ll probably take me until tonight or tomorrow to get the game to you.

Where do I go in Steam to see what extra copies I have? I don’t usually buy multi-packs, so I don’t think I have anything extra, but I don’t know where to check.

It would be in your Steam inventory if you had anything. Anything in your Steam library is non-transferable.

If you’ve never intentionally bought a gift (inventory) copy of anything, you very likely have nothing there.

Nevermind, folks - I hadn’t realized that items in my regular library are not transferrable.

Too late! You gotta hand them over 😉

OK, update, a friend didn’t like torchlight 2 so now I have an extra copy of the wonderful torchlight 2 which he will forever regret not getting for free, mostly because I will pester him for months.

I’ve got Memsy for torchlight 1 - who wants 2?

Oooh, also, I don’t play TF2 much and when I do, I don’t care about the collectible items.

Check out my stash (Kinthalis on Steam as well) if you want anything from there.
