[H] Syberia, Syberia 2 (steam keys) [W] 1 TF2 key

the difference is, that paying 2$ during sale and asking for 3$ afterwards is reasonable. paying like 0.20$, but asking for 4$ is what most people call a rip-off. what if you bought these games from someone for 2 keys, and then you discovered that you could have bought them for just a few cents. wouldn't you be angry?

other traders here ask for something like 1-3 ref, which is way more reasonable in my opinion.

Gifts are more versatile and reliable for trading purposes (they can be posted on sites such as tf2outpost, or bots like dispenser.tf), plus they can be used for Playblink giveaways, and are sometimes kept in inventories by collectors, though that generally only matters for games removed from steam. Occasionally you'll see a trade where somebody has a gift and plans to activate it, so someone else with a spare key offers to trade the key plus a little extra in exchange for the gift. In terms of actual difference for someone who just wants to play the game though, yeah, it's the same game in the end.

As was said though, selling a part of a bundle for more than the entire bundle costs when the bundle is still being sold is definitely something most people would consider a rip-off and it's the kind of thing that gives traders a bad name. If you insist on making a profit from it, then you should at least wait until the bundle is over, then you have the justification that you're giving a decent deal to those who missed the opportunity to get the bundle, though I still think you'd be overcharging.
