How to get your gifts/items back (Revoke scammers)
http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/how-to-get-your-gifts-items-back-revoke-scammers.4565/
What if they activate it after purchase? Would it still be revoked from the account?
I have a copie of DayZ in my library and it's the same as ones than I trade. Pic related : http://puu.sh/6dX63.jpg
So maybe you should be careful and activate these after you purchased it.
Anyway, I didn't have any return after around +20 trades. And for the tip, I didn't even traded with you MRGIULI1T.
As far as I know no game can be revoked from library, so after that it's totally safe.
And I don't think MRGIULI1T meant that you're a scammer, just warning people so they shouldn't be suprised if it happened.
it's simple: if someone tries to sell the game for such a low price (like 12 keys!), something has to be wrong. DayZ is about 30$ all around the world (check it on steamprices). 12 keys is less than 30$. nobody would sell the game and loose money, except the copy is stolen.
you even say you have a reseller. so you dont buy the game in steam store yourself, you get it from some guy on the internet (how is that guy trustworthy btw, i doubt you really know him...). oh, and he has to make profit himself, so the game is even cheaper for him? what do you pay for a copy? like 10 keys? how is that possible, if you look at what a copy actually costs in steam store? did you even think about this, before starting to resell?
i tell you, you will get in trouble for that. the stolen humble bundles were sold for months. some guys got 100+ rep only from selling humble bundles, before people started to realize, that their games are gone. first they were only from their bundle accounts (which most people dont even notice, or dont care). but now they also get removed from the steam accounts!! the same thing will happen with your DayZ copies, believe me.
if you only want to make a quick dollar, then enjoy your time. sell as many copies as you can, because the fun part of this won't last for long. the games will be removed eventually, people will -rep you here and report you on steamrep and steam support (which will result in a trade ban).
if you are an honest member of the steam and steamtrades community, then maybe you should take your time and really think about all this stuff. do you really want to hurt the trading communnity that much? do you really want to deal with angry customers who add you and post on your profile maybe in a month or so, and complain about the removed game? who report you and probably get you trade banned (which others can see forever on your profile page)? only for some dollars profit, which you could also make by honest trading (i personally make enough profit with trading, so i can buy my own games with it)? really, just think about if that's worth it. :)
Okay, some copies has been revoked tonight (10 January) so I stop right now.

My game has been revoked too : http://puu.sh/6fY9K.png
I'm sorry for that, you can ban me if you want, this is my two resellers where all the copies comes from (they suddenly removed me from their friendlist) :

The origin of my copie (the first reseller who is hidding his ass) is him :
But i'm sure he's not the only one.
Some resellers are using other sellers to hide themselves. I have been manipulated. I can't refund anyone because 11/12 of the keys has been given to my sellers. I made a mistake, I saw it coming.
I'll leave my old message, to show how much I warned my buyers :
13 keys, fast trade, you can add me.
ONLY KEYS ! NO OFFERS ! This is actually the best price you can find. I really can't do lower than that.
[ ! ] WARNING ABOUT REVOKED COPIES WITH OTHER TRADERS [ ! ] : Don't keep the game in your inventory. Activate it just after the trade in your library, it's more safe. Some people lost their copies several hours later if they keep it in their inventory. I can't explain myself why there is this issue. Maybe some hidden scammers are selling copies bought with a credit card which was overdue (or stolen), and using others sellers all over steam to hide themselves. In my case, I didn't have any return after 20 trades, my personal copie is the same as ones that I trade, and it's still in my library after several days. My reseller is trustworthy, but I really can't guarantee the tip, our copies are working so far anyway.
Trading these copies since : 6 January, 9:50pm
Number of copies sold : 24
Number of copies revoked / lost : 0
