Title: [Selling] Steam account valued at $1770 [5btc Bounty for Middleman (Found)] Post by: Frendizi on April 02, 2012, 03:43:01 PM I'm trying to sell my steam account for some bitcoins, and I thought this would be a good place to try and do it. I'm looking to get ~155 bitcoins for it, and want to try to get a -very- well respected member to act as a middleman. The total value of the account comes out to $1770 (from steamcalulator.com), I'll provide a list of games at the bottom of the post just because its pretty long. I'm not going to provide a username publicly on the forum just incase someone from valve is perusing the board. The account has no VaC bans or reports, all the games work online, and I've owned it myself for 5 years. I think that's all when it comes to describing the account, but if you have any other questions please PM me. I'm offering 5btcs for someone to act as a middleman, I don't exactly know what this kind of service entitles in terms of payment, so if its insultably low, just let me know. I will insist that the person who does act as a middleman be very well reputable, hero member, and just generally someone who isn't going to run away with anything. Now I know that I'm just a newbie here, so I've tried to think of a process that will ensure all parties involved at least have some peace of mind. It goes as follows (Its a little long and probably roundabout, but just stick with me):
1. Find a buyer and a middleman (That's a given :P) 2. I'll send my login information to the middleman with Steamguard enabled, and PM the verification code once he lets me know he's ready. From there he can make sure that all the details about the account are true, and PM the buyer that the account is legit 3. The buyer then can transfer the bitcoins to the middleman, and let me know that he's ready. 4. Once the middleman gets the transaction verified, I'll disable steamguard, change the password, and send the account details to the buyer (Or middleman, I don't think it would make a difference) 5. Once the buyer logs in and changes the account details, he can contact the middleman, who can send the bitcoins my way, taking the 5btc for himself 6.Badaboom, badabang, happy seller and customer. I think I covered all the bases there, but if theres a glaring security hole somewhere in there, let me know. -A note regarding online games- Theres a couple on games on the account that need a 3rd party login to access the online features (Company of Heroes and GTAIV spring to mind), so I'll try to change all the passwords on those and ship them off with the account details. If I miss one or two, the buyer can contact me via email and I'll change the accounts as quickly as possible. -A note regarding username and such- Now I don't work at valve, and don't know what kind of safeguards to prevent people from selling/trading accounts, so I think it would be wise to take some precautions so that no little red flags pop up a Valve HQ 1.I'll remove most of my friends from the account, but I'll leave the couple that haven't logged in for 300+ days, this will make sure there isn't one big "friend dump" 2.I think its a good idea not to immediately change the community profiles name, location, or other such details for a while, but instead do it gradually 3.This may just be me being paranoid, but I might register the account to a new email that's similar enough to my old one, I know people get new email addresses all the time, but hey, can't be to careful. Well I think that's it, don't hesitate to ask me questions about anything or question my method of trading, if anyone has a better idea of how to go about this, just let me know. Thanks And finally, the list of games: -Name of game- -Current value- -Total account value- 01 And Yet It Moves $9.99 USD $9.99 USD 02 Aquaria $9.99 USD $19.98 USD 03 ArmA II $19.99 USD $39.97 USD 04 Atom Zombie Smasher $9.99 USD $49.96 USD 05 AudioSurf $9.99 USD $59.95 USD 06 Batman: Arkham City $49.99 USD $109.94 USD 07 Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam $14.99 USD $124.93 USD 08 Battlefield: Bad Company™ 2 $19.99 USD $144.92 USD 09 Beat Hazard $9.99 USD $154.91 USD 10 BioShock® 2 $19.99 USD $174.90 USD 11 BioShock™ $19.99 USD $194.89 USD 12 BIT.TRIP BEAT $9.99 USD $204.88 USD 13 Blazing Angels® Squadrons of WWII $9.99 USD $214.87 USD 14 Blazing Angels® 2: Secret Missions of WWII $9.99 USD $224.86 USD 15 Bloody Good Time $4.99 USD $229.85 USD 16 Borderlands $19.99 USD $249.84 USD 17 Braid $9.99 USD $259.83 USD 18 Breach $14.99 USD $274.82 USD 19 Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood™ $9.99 USD $284.81 USD 20 Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway™ $9.99 USD $294.80 USD 21 Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30™ $9.99 USD $304.79 USD 22 Chime $4.99 USD $309.78 USD 23 Civilization IV®: Warlords $4.99 USD $314.77 USD 24 Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword $9.99 USD $324.76 USD 25 Cogs $9.99 USD $334.75 USD 26 Combat Wings: Battle of Britain $4.99 USD $339.74 USD 27 Company of Heroes $9.99 USD $349.73 USD 28 Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts $19.99 USD $369.72 USD 29 Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor $19.99 USD $389.71 USD 30 Counter-Strike: Source $19.99 USD $409.70 USD 31 Crayon Physics Deluxe $19.99 USD $429.69 USD 32 Crysis Warhead® $19.99 USD $449.68 USD 33 Darwinia $9.99 USD $459.67 USD 34 Day of Defeat: Source $9.99 USD $469.66 USD 35 Dead Space $19.99 USD $489.65 USD 36 DEFCON $9.99 USD $499.64 USD 37 Dungeons of Dredmor $4.99 USD $504.63 USD 38 Eternity's Child $4.99 USD $509.62 USD 39 Eufloria $14.99 USD $524.61 USD 40 EVE Online: Dominion $19.99 USD $544.60 USD 41 Evil Genius $9.99 USD $554.59 USD 42 Fallen Earth $19.99 USD $574.58 USD 43 Fallout 2: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game $9.99 USD $584.57 USD 44 Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel $9.99 USD $594.56 USD 45 Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game $9.99 USD $604.55 USD 46 Frozen Synapse $24.99 USD $629.54 USD 47 Garry's Mod $9.99 USD $639.53 USD 48 Ghostbusters: The Videogame $9.99 USD $649.52 USD 49 Gish $9.99 USD $659.51 USD 50 Grand Theft Auto IV $19.99 USD $679.50 USD 51 Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas $14.99 USD $694.49 USD 52 GRID™ $14.99 USD $709.48 USD 53 Hacker Evolution $4.99 USD $714.47 USD 54 Half-Life $9.99 USD $724.46 USD 55 Half-Life 2 $9.99 USD $734.45 USD 56 Half-Life 2: Deathmatch $4.99 USD $739.44 USD 57 Half-Life 2: Episode One $7.99 USD $747.43 USD 58 Half-Life 2: Episode Two $7.99 USD $755.42 USD 59 Half-Life 2: Lost Coast $0.00 USD $755.42 USD 60 Half-Life: Blue Shift $4.99 USD $760.41 USD 61 Half-Life: Opposing Force $4.99 USD $765.40 USD 62 Hammerfight $9.99 USD $775.39 USD 63 Hitman 2: Silent Assassin $9.99 USD $785.38 USD 64 Hitman: Blood Money $9.99 USD $795.37 USD 65 Hydrophobia: Prophecy $4.99 USD $800.36 USD 66 IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946 $9.99 USD $810.35 USD 67 Just Cause $14.99 USD $825.34 USD 68 Killing Floor $19.99 USD $845.33 USD 69 Left 4 Dead $19.99 USD $865.32 USD 70 Left 4 Dead 2 $19.99 USD $885.31 USD 71 Lugaru HD $9.99 USD $895.30 USD 72 Machinarium $9.99 USD $905.29 USD 73 Magicka $9.99 USD $915.28 USD 74 Mirror's Edge™ $19.99 USD $935.27 USD 75 Monday Night Combat $9.99 USD $945.26 USD 76 Multiwinia $9.99 USD $955.25 USD 77 Nation Red $9.99 USD $965.24 USD 78 On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One $7.99 USD $973.23 USD 79 Osmos $9.99 USD $983.22 USD 80 Overlord™ $4.99 USD $988.21 USD 81 PAYDAY™ The Heist $19.99 USD $1008.20 USD 82 Penumbra Black Plague Gold Edition $9.99 USD $1018.19 USD 83 Penumbra Overture $9.99 USD $1028.18 USD 84 Plain Sight $4.99 USD $1033.17 USD 85 Poker Night at the Inventory $4.99 USD $1038.16 USD 86 Portal $9.99 USD $1048.15 USD 87 Portal 2 $19.99 USD $1068.14 USD 88 Psychonauts $9.99 USD $1078.13 USD 89 Railroad Tycoon 3 $9.99 USD $1088.12 USD 90 Railroad Tycoon II Platinum $4.99 USD $1093.11 USD 91 realMYST $5.99 USD $1099.10 USD 92 Red Faction Guerrilla $19.99 USD $1119.09 USD 93 Revenge of the Titans $9.99 USD $1129.08 USD 94 Rhythm Zone $9.99 USD $1139.07 USD 95 S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat $14.99 USD $1154.06 USD 96 S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky $9.99 USD $1164.05 USD 97 S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl $19.99 USD $1184.04 USD 98 Samorost2 $4.99 USD $1189.03 USD 99 Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter $14.99 USD $1204.02 USD 100 Shadowgrounds $6.99 USD $1211.01 USD 101 Shadowgrounds Survivor $9.99 USD $1221.00 USD 102 Shattered Horizon $9.99 USD $1230.99 USD 103 Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization $19.99 USD $1250.98 USD 104 Sid Meier's Civilization® IV $19.99 USD $1270.97 USD 105 Sid Meier's Civilization® V $29.99 USD $1300.96 USD 106 Sid Meier's Railroads!

You would be hard pressed selling an account priced at the exact market value of each game currently within the account considering if someone wanted all of those games, they could just as easily buy all the games for the same amount and not have to worry about possibly getting robbed(not suggesting you're trying to do such a thing)
If the account really is valued at the total of each game, I suggest lowering the price to get more interest in it. I'm gonna guess you'll need to go at least 50% market value of each game as it's value.

This is in direct violation of Steam's user agreement, and is furthermore extremely risky. The seller can at any time after the sale reclaim the account by contacting Steam Support with CD-keys or credit card numbers associated with the account. No reputation as well.

Well the account is still for sale, and I know that selling steam accounts are risky for the seller because of the chance someone could report it as stolen, but if there is anything else I can do to make any potential seller feel at ease, tell me and I definitely follow thru! If anyone wants to propose a -reasonable- price for the account I'd be upto it, to me 175btc sounds reasonable, but I can be flexible.
