Maxvorstadt: Yeah, that`s capitalism: Buy cheap, trade it for something expensive and hope that the other one doesn`t recognize that he`s been hit over the ear!
No. Thats a trade:
"I have two steamkeys - you want it ? okay, make me an offer. i would of course prefer something from my wishlist"
Thats it. If someone would have been interested at that point he would be free to use google and check the price for Crusader Kings II and probably found about that deal himself.
Further: My Wishlist is open for everyone and i didnt piled up all the 49,99,- games that are here just to live for cheap. Its all transparent and i do communicate with people. This is also my first online key-trade, so whatever. I bet no one would have give two fks if this would have been a free give-away.
Of course i get defensive with those kind of accusations. I had those keys as leftovers and simply didnt felt like giving them away for free. If someone offers me, lets say, a leftover key (which is also something that person would probably not use himself anyway and maybe also want to get a game he didnt own and maybe want to check out) - why wouldnt i make that trade ?
No one bothered to read my inital post carefully (i edited a line that i got it from HB into it).
No one bothered to check my wishlist and had the thought "Well, looks like he would trade Ghost Recon, which is clearly on his list, for Crusader Kings II" - tell me that this is a bad deal?
Whats the matter guys?
I mean seriously ?
Making me look bad, even though i had a transparent trade option here. If someone is not interested, then fine. If someone has a LEFTOVER KEY anyway - why not ? Hell, maybe someone would offer me something i dont know and i would check it out?
I made that post 2 hours before the humble deal ended anyway. Whats the point of turning this into a discussion about me being such a horrible asshat that want to ripoff people?
A private message to me to simply add "it would be nice to add that there is still a humble deal running" would have also done the job. Or ONE POST like "I may add the information that there is still the Humble Bundle running, otherwise feel free to trade with Samet" .
Sounds also better, right?
You can at least try to be nice, even if you initally think that sounds bad.
