Steam Trading Enters Beta - briefly|
| (hx) 05:21 PM CEST - Aug,11 2011 | | Good news PC gamers! Valve has officially rolled out their Steam
Trading Beta! By opting into the new beta, you can trade both in-game
items and certain games with other users who are also enrolled in the
beta. Game trading is limited to gift copies that you've yet to send to
someone else or add to your own account. Only Team Fortress 2 items can
currently be traded, though Portal 2 should be in "reasonably soon"
followed by "several third-party games in the next few months." You can
get into the beta by going into your Steam settings and opting in on
the Stream Trading Beta. From there, you can initiate trades from group
chats or by right-clicking on a friend's name. That brings up the trade
window, which will instruct you on how to use it the first time it's
brought up. There's also an FAQ here. So while you still can't
trade a copy of a game you don't care for or no longer play, at least
this allows you to get rid of an extra copy of Half-Life 2 in exchange
for a new TF2 item.

Does Steam Trading mean I can sell my used games?
No, only games that have been bought as a gift, and thus have never been played, can be traded. Once the Steam Gift is opened and added to your game library, you won’t be able to trade it again.
Interesting concept for the word 'used', lol
People trade old games on badly scratched floppies and CDs... |

| Baconnaise | (11:38 AM CEST - Aug,12 2011 ) | Trading seems kind of pointless. I can buy a giftcard or the game itself and send it to who I want already. Better yet I can mail them fifty bucks or twenty even and a card.
The consumers want a way to trade in used games or games they thought were utter trash and get some of that investment back. What's so hard about this?
Oh wait! They might have to release quality games instead of these pretty shiny turds that are all graphics and no soul. |
