I'm curious, why would someone give you 11 keys for a MW2 key? They could sell the 11 keys on the Community Market for $21.45 and buy a gift copy for $19.99.
I don't mean to offend you, I just really haven't been able to grasp why people think this would work. To me it just seems like hoping someone is dumb and doesn't realize they can get $1.95/key on the market.
I thought they were only worth $1.30? That is what everyone else uses for prices it looks like.
With using that conversion, why do people price RE6 at like 20 keys?

Someone offered to do it (RE6) for 20, which would be $39, what it sells for in the store.
And someone else just bought a copy (MW2) from someone I was gonna trade with for 9 (we both offered for 9, but the other guy was first), which is why I started high and said you can make a offer.
Thank you for the bump though, I am new to trading keys obviously as I have none, and usually decline TF2 key offers.
And you didn't offend me, I just thought that is what they go for ($1.30)
I could ask to trade a $5 bill for $1,000,000 and that doesn't mean anyone is going to trade me.
As I said, people sell them on PayPal for around $1.30 while the market shows them at $1.95 before Steam's fees. It really comes down to who the traders are as some people would be fine with buying them at $1.30 for a total of $14.30, but if they had to buy them through the Market it'd be over $20 and not worth while.
The way I see it, there are basically two groups of people who trade with keys, those who accept the new Community Market and calculate it into their value and those who are determined to try and keep the PayPal price alive. Like I said in my other post, keeping the PayPal Price alive really just seems like an attempt to deceive people in the keys value.
Personally, since I started valuing keys at $1.95 instead of $1.30, I have received a lot more trades. Not to mention, after you go through 100 keys, that's an extra $60!
Okay, dropped it to 9 keys OBO
Thanks for the heads up! Like I said, I'm pretty new to this, so I didn't know about the Paypal price and the Steam Price, I thought people were just trading higher here for some explainable reason.
Add me for a fast trade. Also accept 1:1 for Black Ops 1 key
