Welcome to Archi's Shop!

Please read all the information below in order to have a very enjoyable trading experience with me.

Impersonators alert

I have over 9k games and 220+ level on Steam. Watch out who you're talking with, I'm not being responsible for you getting scammed by my impersonators. Please make sure that you're interacting with the right person.

I'm the creator of ASF and the only public bot I own is ArchiBot . I don't own any other bots and I don't use any alt accounts.

If somebody is using this profile in order to prove anything, he's trying to scam you. Follow safe trading practices and always verify if the person you're talking with is indeed who he claims to be.

Trading

If you're interested in trading with me, please post a comment in my thread. I'll be happy to evaluate your offer and leave you a reply as soon as possible, typically in less than 24h, unless I'm exceptionally busy. If by any chance you change your mind before I catch up with you, please consider editing/deleting your message, so I realize that you're no longer interested, and I won't evaluate your trade offer that is no longer relevant.

Please don't add me on Steam, I'll be happy to add you on Steam myself in order to finish the trade, once I verify that your games are available and that we're both happy with the trade outcome. Majority of agreements can be done in the thread, far more efficient. If we've already traded in the past and I'm currently online, you can also message me on Steam for faster response.

All games are in a single quantity, unless they're listed multiple times. If not stated otherwise, all my games come in a form of a region-free Steam activation key. The keys come from various, legit bundle sites that I use, mainly Humble Bundle and IndieGala, but not exclusively. I buy the bundles myself, I do not resell games traded with others.

When overpaying, depending on chosen payment method I might be able to give change (such as a half of CS:GO key in Steam gems), but this is not always guaranteed (or possible). If you expect such change from me, please state it explicitly so I can check in advance. I'm very happy offering a change, but I need to check first if I have enough of gems to cover it.

If you like my prices and what I'm doing, you can always consider a small donation on top of your offer, which I'll be very grateful for. Thank you in advance for all the tips!

Happy trading! Consider leaving feedback after the trade. I'll do the same!

Pricing logic

I'm mainly after fair 1:1 trades, but I'm also fine giving/receiving more games for 1 in regards to their pricing. I'm always ensuring that all my trade offers are fair for both parties, because I trade for fun, not for profit. You can be sure that I'll correct the offer if you're offering items that are significantly more expensive than mine. My prices are calculated according to the general bundle split algorithm, further adapted for fairness by me:

• Find your game on ITAD
• Find the latest bundle it was in
• Find the tier your game was in, and take its final price
• Subtract price of the previous tier from your final price (if applicable)
• Divide your price by number of games in your tier, and round it up to full cents
• Consider extra fees for your selected payment method (e.g. PayPal/Bitcoin fees, Steam items multiplier)
• Consider average price of card drops if your game is cheaper than the cards from it

Example for Shan Gui:

• Find your game: ITAD
• Find latest bundle: Tokyo Anime Mega
• Final price of our tier: 3.49€
• Subtract previous tier: 3.49€ - 1.00€ = 2.49€
• Divide by number of games: 2.49€ / 10 = 0.249€ = ~0.25€

ArchiBot offers calculating the price with !ap <GameTitle> command. You can execute it in private chat with the bot. If you don't have ArchiBot on your friendlist (and you can't add it due to friends limit), you can join Touhou Giveaways chat then initiate private chat with the bot by finding it on the channel. Another option is joining Discord server where ArchiBot is available, such as ASF Discord, then sending command to the bot in private.

Example of above Shan Gui calculation, done automatically by the bot:

Archi: !ap Shan Gui
ArchiBot: Result: Shan Gui | shangui | 0.25€ / $0.3 / 688 Gems | Tokyo Anime Mega by Indie Gala

Note: If price is lower than combined price of average Steam trading cards you get from the game, higher one takes precedence. This is the case with very cheap games that drop cards for more than they're worth themselves. ArchiBot already includes appropriate logic in !ap command, and my price table considers that as well, but if you're calculating manually, you have to take that into account.

Disclaimer: ArchiPrice is only an indicator that should be well-respected in most cases, but not all of them. The final trade is always made based on agreement of both parties, not the plain value. The algorithm, as well as ArchiBot discovery can be improved in the future in terms of functionality, as well as overall fairness. I reserve the right to override calculated prices, as well as reject unfavourable trades, if deemed appropriate.

Prices

The prices listed below are only a reference value and I'm always open for eventual negotiation. For example I might accept lower price from previous bundle (and not latest one) if it was quite recent. Likewise, I might be able to offer a small discount for DLC titles. If in doubt, just ask.

Games marked as free indicate that I'm willing to trade them for other games that were given away for free in the past, not that I'm offering them free of charge. In terms of monetary value they're negotiable, since they still come from paid bundles. Feel free to ask for the exact price if you're interested in them.

Only price in euro is final one, all other currencies (especially gems) are automatically calculated based on conversion rate (which might change before trade takes place). You can execute !ap command explained above to fetch current price for all titles that you're interested in, as well as titles that are not on my list specifically (e.g. for having an idea how much your game is worth in my terms). Of course, you can always calculate manually as well, as my logic is precisely described above.

When exchanging the items during a trade, I'm always taking into account fresh !ap pricing that is relevant right now, while the trade taking place. If there is a major disproportion in terms of the price (for example due to recent bundling or currency strength), I'll let you know where the difference is coming from (and you can always check/verify yourself). You can always adjust or cancel a trade offer at any point of time, as long as no exchange of any kind took place. I'm trying to keep the below list up-to-date at least once per week.
