I have a gift for Half-Life 2 Episode 1. It comes with some of the little games like deathmatch and lostcoast as well.

Anyone interested to trade me something for it?

 

[alr1ght]

Still nothing here. My inventory is just an empty, broken mess.

And this is what my inventory history looks like now:

same for me, but english.

 

[robotzombie]

Okay so I just sent skyrim as a gift to a friend yesterday, is that the same skyrim that is showing up in my inventory right now? I never checked this inventory thing before

 

[Euphor!a]

I have 3-Copies of Bunch of Heroes from the 4-Pack. If you are interested send me a PM, they are $1.87 gifted through PayPal.

 

[inky]

I just came to the realization that I bought Alpha Protocol during last year's Xmas sale, installed it the very same day, played it for a bit, but never touched it since.

*uninstalls*

 

[TGMIII]

I seriously hope they fix the inventory sometime soon, I remember this happening with the portal ARG and it took awhile for them to finally fix the issue.

 

[Rickenslacker]

I got AI War: Fleet Command and a Valve discount coupon.

Can't say I'm interested in playing that. If anyone wants to trade or something, PM me.

 

[AzureSkies]

I sent Day of Defeat Source to my friend as a gift earlier today and it said that he received it.

However, I still have DOD:S in my inventory, is this the same gift or have I been cursed with another copy?

For the record, if you DID get another copy of Skyrim, I'll gladly take it off your hands.

 

[arts&crafts]

anyone know if you can get achievements in demos? I thought I had audiosurf but it turns out I do not

 

[Technosteve]

i have portal to give away um who wants it >..>

 

[Turfster]

If it's in the pending gifts tab and hasn't been claimed yet, then maybe. Otherwise, uh... maybe you got a copy of skyrim from the gift pile?

*looks at his still only 1 steam thing*

 

[HTuran]

Couldn't you technically get every Steam game by using alt accounts to gift game coupons?

 

[BooJoh]

Probably. I sent someone Terraria today and it's showing in my inventory next to my 25% off coupon.

 

[kai3345]

You're supposed to have 2 gifts right, I only have 1.

Also anyone want to trade soemthing for Half Life 2 + Lost Coast?

 

[erpg]

How long did it take for gifts/coal to appear after completing an objective? I finished the EDGE one a couple hours ago but I still only have the 33% off VALVE coupon.

 

[Stumpokapow]

You would be banned very quickly.

 

[scy]

Finally home from work and check what I get ... -25% Valve, -50% The Void. Oh well. Time to start buying games to get achievements~

 

[iavi]

Lol, I'll give you a 50% off Valve coupon!

 

[Fallout-NL]

Think it stays in your inventory until he actually redeems it.

 

[Spwn]

Just to clarify, this post is about Bunch of Heroes.

Word of warning: The achievement is a pain and didn't unlock when I did it.

Didn't unlock for me either and through further examination I came to the conclusion that they haven't updated the achievement in the game yet.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

I've got the orange box gift and 50% off a Valve game.

 

[Spawnofmoose]

It's got players. But what's more - it has a Winter Acheev!

Yo Dawg etc...

I'll give that a go tomorrow.

 

[Revoh]

I've only got a 33% Valve coupon. :/

 

[RoadHazard]

i have portal to give away um who wants it >..>

I'll take it! I've played it, but I'd like having it on my Steam account.

(But if someone who hasn't played it at all wants it, give it to them.)

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Only a few hundred, you need a game purchase to enter at all as well.

 

[The_Monk]

I got 25% OFF Valve's games.

Some games on Sale are MAC friendly, which is always good but my Bootcamp is ready too!

 

[LCfiner]

The part that everyone hates? It´s equally bad throughout the whole game.

I just won´t get why people keep buying this game despite having other games to play and all these warnings. No wonder people end up with crazy backlogs on Steam.

Most comments I heard about the game on podcasts was that it was OK (not great or anything) till a spot near the end when it kinda turns to shit.

For 12 bucks, yeah, I’ll mess with an average Fable adventure for 5 to 10 hours. I know what I’m getting into, mostly.

 

[Drkirby]

Alright, Portal. Everyone loves Portal.

Valve: *Troll Face*

Edit: Hmmm, 25% off the New Lord of the Rings game, that may be a useable trading token after the sale, if it doesn't go on a better sale.

 

[iavi]

Were we supposed to receive two initial gifts? The wording on the page makes it seem that way, and I only have one.

 

[Tempy]

I got the Steam gifts:

• Half-Life 2 - Which I already have of course. Anybody want to trade for it?
• 50% off Valve - Have almost every Valve game already. Maybe spend it on Day of Defeat? Or maybe I should trade it with someone who wants to use it on something like Portal 2.
• 50% off Demolition Inc. - Hey, I actually have this on my wishlist! Except it's currently 75% off - oops.

QUESTION! Does the 50% apply to the "retail" price, or the current for sale price? (After Jan 2)

For example. Game has a "retail" price of $10. But after the Winter Sale it gets a sale rebate of 10% to $9. If I want to use the 50% coupon gift, how much would the game cost?
50% off $10 = $5?
50% off (10% off $10) = $4.50?
(50+10)% off $10 = $4?

 

[Xerxes]

Yeah, I can't think of anyone to gift this Valve complete pack to. If anyone wants a trade, PM me. I also have a 50% off any Valve game coupon. Hah.

 

[kai3345]

same here

 

[TGMIII]

So if I do todays challenges after the new batch of challenges comes out will I still get coal/voucher?

 

[dragonlife]

I just came to the realization that I bought Alpha Protocol during last year's Xmas sale, installed it the very same day, played it for a bit, but never touched it since.

*uninstalls*

You sick soul.

Alpha Protocol is fucking awesome.

 

[AzureSkies]

Am I the only person who actually only has 1 gift? It turned out my "second" Day of Defeat: Source I thought I had was already redeemed when I tried to gift it, so it turned out it was just my first.

"Invalid gift or gift has already been redeemed."

 

[SmithnCo]

So, any ideas on the Cargo Quest for Gravity achievement?

edit: nevermind, got it. Just play to where you put a new sail on your boat.

 

[Stumpokapow]

How do you view your coal count? I assume it'll be in the inventory once the inventory is fixed?

 

[Boss Doggie]

Wait, I thought I have done 3 achievements... how come I only have 2 Steam items?

 

[yeoz]

Couldn't you technically get every Steam game by using alt accounts to gift game coupons?

You would be banned very quickly.

I've got ~45 steam accounts for tf2 idling and I figure I could unlock

Spoiler

~450

achievements total. But, yeah, I don't think valve would be very happy with me if I did that.

I'd like to give Half-Life 2 to my friend but all I have to trade is the Half-life2: Episode 1 gift I got.

 

[Tomodachi]

I got, you guessed it, Portal.
Also HL2 and a -25% on warner bros titles Valid January 2nd, 2012 through March 1st, 2012.

So... final word on the coupons stacking with others deals?

 

[Drkirby]

Most of my accounts have only 1 gift, a few have 2.

 

[kai3345]

Anyone want to trade for Half Life 2 + lost coast?

 

[Megasoum]

Guys,I am weak... I didn't follow the first rule... I just bought the World in Conflict complete edition for 13$. I doubt that this game will go on a daily and even if it does it probably won't go much lower.

 

[RoadHazard]

Am I the only person who actually only has 1 gift?

You should be happy. Not only have I not received a single of the gifts I should have, but the gifts I previously had have been cleared out. My inventory is empty.

 

[Fou-Lu]

Argh, still don't have gifts. Don't even have the steam tab in my inventory.

Coupons are usually money off whatever the store price is currently. Thats why in real life you can sometimes get goods to very low or even negative prices (though most of that is fiction of doubling coupons). So I suspect $5 would be the answer unless it is a deal.

Random game time:
I-Fluid. Thoughts?

 

[Chanser]

I got Half-Life 1 as a gift.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

You know what they could do to make my life easier, and probably cut out serving a lot of unnecessary page views?

On the front page, let me know if I own something before I click on it to go to the store page. In list view, such as the $2 game link above, either indicate somehow which games I own in the list, or, even better, let me filter them by owned status. I have so many games on Steam that this is becoming a real pain in the ass.
