http://www.reddit.com/r/SteamGameSwap/comments/1ax1bg/h_bioshock_infinite_tomb_raider_crysis_3_w_25/
I asked him for Bioshock and Tomb Raider and he said he only had Bioshock for $25 today only. Anyways I paid him first as gift via paypal and got the code in less than a minute after via steam chat. First trade on reddit and it went well.
I just talked to him and he has a bunch of Bioshock codes left. And will have Crysis 3 and Tomb Raider tomorrow. If you check out his steam profile and hes got a bunch of comments +rep him. His ID is "Tradio" (NY avatar).
Edit: Just sign up and message him on reddit or add him on steam to chat.

BunnyLake, is that you??

^ AHAHA! Good one!

Hmm, it's tempting but sounds a bit suspect. Would rather not loose access to my entire steam account.

I'll take a chance.
-
I may have to take a chance as well... so tempting!
-
It's kinda sketchy, but I'll take the risk. $60 feels like too much to pay for a game that will give me maybe 20hrs of gameplay tops.
-
BunnyLake, is that you??
so true :D
-
I don't really feel like it's gonna be a bust. I doubt anything will happen to your steam account that is pretty drastic.
For $25 its a steal, and I'm gonna message him tomorrow about tomb raider. :) If you bought Bioshock today, theres a chance hell sell you tomb raider tomorrow for $20.
-
Just purchased bioshock from Tradio, and can confirm that the code is working!
-
He won't accept $26+ as goods and insists on a gift payment only... I'll still do it if no one is having issues.
-
I purchased a copy from Tradio as well, activated it, and it is a North American key! They are apparently from the GFX card bundles. Great deal, and I'm confident that it's legit!
-
danielucf: if he were to accept goods payment, people could open cases and steal their money back. We all know how that goes; the gift payments are just to protect him from theives!
-
Can someone with a reddit account proxy me a code? I'll paypal you

Can you add him on steam?
And I agree its just to protect him from thieves although we don't get really get protected at all. We are gambling anyways.

I am trying now by adding him on Steam. Will let you know how it goes.
-
BunnyLake, is that you??
if that was me the prices would be alto cheaper, but yes i have all those games for sale/giving away lol

this guy buys his codes from me and then sells them on, which is why his prices are higher than mine

I also can't believe it was a gh'er behind this awesomeness! No biggie that I wasted $5, and thanks for doing this! I had been deliberating the $46 after cash back GMG deal all day.

nice of you to jump in without speaking to me about my sources
all my keys are from the amd never settle reloaded scheme, they all come from legit purchased graphics cards, which are purchased for my friends bespoke pc shop, he then sells me his spare promo codes and i pass those savings on to people i know online
and also give a lot away for free
what you are referring to is people often buying groups of keys from shady sites with stolen credit cards or buying stuff from reliable sources and charging back the payments or exploiting the source, as well as buying games from countries with a much lower price point to stop piracy as well as flat out theft, this is a practice that has gone on for years but recently got a lot of exposure because the guys behind natural selection 2 kicked up a fuss about a charge backs and then a bunch of money hungry online news sites took that and ran with it for more click through views, im not saying it isn't a problem, but its been going on for years and everyone is aware of it, also if you are part of the game community its fairly obvious which keys get exploited and from where as there is a mass flood of them that appear all at once and everyone knows to avoid them
once again, all my keys come from a legit source and i have the physical vouchers from the graphics cards in my hand, i didn't come on here trying to sell these codes, i was giving them away on this board, until someone started this thread as they found a guy selling codes cheap, it just happened that it was a guy who buys codes from me and then sells them off in small numbers to make himself some profit, so i jumped in and said people can buy them straight from me without the markup
im sure by warning these people you have nothing but good intentions, but you aren't sure what you are warning them from, and throwing that broad generalization out there like you did leads other uneducated minds no make further assumptions about things they don't know about or understand, and i don't really want false rumors starting about me because i was being generous on this forum
-
I think he was just alerting so people don't go searching for free keys and get scammed.
-
Hey thanks for clearing that up, thats probably peoples only concern when purchasing from you.
Since BunnyLake is behind it all, I'm gonna lock the thread so he can do his own thing on here, and so people buy it from him rather than tradio.
