Title: Selling Steam account?
Post by: Frendizi on April 01, 2012, 03:27:57 PM
I've had my steam account for many years and have accumulated many games (damn steam sales!), but lately my interest in gaming has been waining. Now I know that its against Valves ToS to sell your steam account, but I've really taken an interest in Bitcoin mining, and was wondering if there was a way to sell your account anonymously without the fear of enticing GabeN's wrath. My accounts worth around $1750, and say if I sold it for ~$1000-$1200 (in bitcoins of course!), it would get me well on my way to doing some decent mining. I'm just wondering whats the best way to go about this. Since I have no cred on the forums, and its a digital good, I'd really like to avoid the mexican standoff when it comes to trading digital things for digital money. Any thoughts?

Even you have games worth of x amount money in steam calc, people here dont pay for retail prices for them. It means you could get some bitcoins but not even close to worth of 1000$. Also there is always possibility that some of your games has bans so they are not playable online.. we never know for sure. Ita your word against ours :)

Anyway good luck for selling but dont expect too mutch.. people here want everything as cheap as possible...

Fixed that for you.

He is right though, I've seen many sold at other forums and they are usually lucky to get 150-200 for it, most people won't even be interested in half the games you have so they won't pay extra for those.

Your steam account will sell for 10-20% of what the value of the games is.  It's not worth anything more than that, because of the risk that you could just contact valve and say your account was stolen to get it all back.  That, and most gamers have already purchased most of the games that they want to play, so purchasing an extra copy of each of them is rather useless.
