Missed.

Ah. Good to know.

I posted Dragon Age 1+Awakenings and Dragon Age 2 for sale in the steam trade forum and quickly had three responses. If anyone else is thinking about grabbing this pack for the DLC, you can probably find a taker for the base games.

Not sure if this has been posted already, but I think someone was asking about You Don't Know Jack a while back. It's on sale right now for $2.99, along with a bunch of other casual games (some overlap, but a good many weren't on the $1.99 promotion that just expired 1/5).

Well, thats another case of double dipping for steam copies for me :P It's a good game though, so I'm content with my purchase

It would be a fair price, it's just not the price EA wants to sell them at.

Depends on how much patience you have for trading. Personally I loathe it and only do it when I'm looking to facilitate a transaction through someplace that doesn't play nice with my credit card (GG or GMG sometimes) or looking to split a pack of games. Such being the case my trades are pretty fast as I line up people in advance and pretty much sell stuff at 'cost' relative to what an X-way split would be.

There is also the fact that a lot of people here buy the packs to flip later so you're ultimately going to be competing against a decent amount of other people on the trade thread so you're better off having multiple places to peddle 'dem keys. There are people with twenty or so keys for trade/sale that I doubt they'll ever ship off.

I buy the packs to get something specific i want and either trade or give the rest to friends.

I tend to take what I want and Steamgift off the remainders. I figure there's little sense in me trying to re-sell extra keys around here when everyone and their dog bought the same bundle and those who didn't often don't want to pay more than a buck or two for a key ("You only paid $10!").

For the hassle, I'll call the buck a loss and gift it away instead.

The side effect of this is that I'm unlikely to buy bundles these days where I own more than one or two titles since I'm essentially paying the bundle price for a single game.

Maybe I will eventually, but last I checked the lowest was $6. Also, I have Amazon GC to spend.

I buy them because there's something in the bundle that I really want, and the price is at a point where I would have payed that amount for the game I wanted alone. I usually just store the keys I don't want until I can figure out what to do with them. Usually just give them away. Generally speaking, it's a bad idea to buy them for the sole purpose of trading/selling them later.

I only buy games/bundles of games I plan to play. I don't do the "trade" thing; I don't like the thought of putting my account in jeopardy if it turns out the "key" has issues.

I usually just end up with extras of stuff I already have D:

My primary purpose is to buy stuff I want to play.

Ah, /shrug

I sell games out of bundles if I already have them or don't want them.

Why pay for a $5 bundle with five games and only two games that you want or don't have when you could possibly sell the other three games on and could have basically gotten the bundle for $2?

Wicked deal on You Dont know Jack. I own the retail version but bought this for convenience. Now I can install the retail one on my kids computer.
