Steam Group Buy and Gift Requests thread

4 Oct 2011 update:
both slots filled; thanks to the two CAGers (feedback posted... BTW, 50 characters is insufficient).

3 Oct 2011 original post:
First time ever hosting a group buy so please help to make it a good experience for all of us.

Have two slots remaining for "Payday: The Heist" @ Steam (not yet released as of ~2am East Coast time Tuesday the 4th, but I've pre-ordered it already).

Asking for $15 per slot (please use the "gift" option in paypal so neither of us has to deal with the processing charges).

Am willing to consider a few game "trades" for a slot, but note that games might be valued at more than $15:
Steam gift of "Fallout New Vegas" or "Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines".

Tomorrow Tuesday the 4th, I can reply to you 10-11am East Coast time (EDT) or will have to be much later in the day (probably 9pm EDT and later); just wanted to give the heads-up to avoid anyone thinking I've forgotten to follow up.

Thanks in advance for your interest.

Group Buy Tips:

  • One person must volunteer to host a group buy. He or she announces this and asks for other people to join the group buy.
  • Once a group buy is filled, the host needs to edit his or her posts to reflect that the group is no longer open.
  • The people who join a host's group buy will PayPal their portion of the gift pack fee to the host.
  • PayPal will charge the host fees for receiving payments unless the person sending payment selects the Gift option when he/she is sending payment. Use discretion when choosing to gift funds. You will not have buyer protection if the host fails to provide the game to you. Still, if the host has positive trade feedback, it's probably safe to trust that person. Follow this link for an image showing how to select the Gift option at PayPal.
  • After the transaction is complete (the host has received payment and the buyer has received the game), both the buyer and host should leave trade feedback for each other. Do this by clicking on the host's CAG username. From the host's profile, click on Feedback and then submit new feedback.
  • If you have trouble finding a group buy with open slots, consider hosting a group yourself.
  • If you already own a game in a gift pack, you may not be able to host a group buy. Steam doesn't allow it with traditional 4-packs.

Best regards.

Have:
Serious Sam 3 pre-order code

Want:
Make me an offer. Paypal, older games, indie games, or a combo are acceptable. I'm not interested in newer games as I haven't kept my PC up to date for gaming in a couple of years.

Here's a list of stuff that I already have and, as a result, am not interested in.

[quote name='Finishoff']Anyone willing to help with regional pricing for Titan Quest Gold pack?
I'm located in the US, looking for anyone in the EU to help with the pricing.[/QUOTE]
I'm based in the UK and can get it for you for £2.50. It's not as cheap as the EU price, but it's better than nothing.

PM me if interested, I'll be online for another 30 mins before bed :)
 
[quote name='gabb_']Same here.
Anyone in EU that can help me with Titan Quest pack?
It's $2.50 for you guys.. $5 for the rest of us.[/QUOTE]

2.50 Euros = $3.42 USD
Also if you send som1 in europe money from the us through paypal, there is a transaction fee that you need to pay as well (forgot how much).

Ive been waiting for Titan Quest to go on sale since last christmas. It was on sale then, but for some reason I passed on it. I started playing it today and I'm pleased with it. I went into the Spirit skill tree and went straight to the Lich King summoning skill. Holy crap is it overpowered. My lich king goes around one shotting everything.

Ah yes, did not do the conversion and forgot that there is no "gift" payment if I do this.
Thanks JakeNome.

Now I'm just trying to decide whether or not to purchase it because there is no more official patches / updates and the fanpatch brings up 15 AV detections on virustotal, even though everybody says it's safe.

Dude, I've never heard of virustotal before, but I scanned the fanpatch with AVG, MSE, MBAM, McAfee, and Avast. None of them found anything, so whatever this virustotal is it's doing its job badly. Besides, if the fanpatch were a virus, then you think at least some technologically advanced CAG's wouldn't notice?

www.virustotal.com

44 AV at one place.

I'm pretty sure it's nothing to worry about but 15 detections is just a little too much for my taste.

Ah, that makes more sense.

Here's an explanation:
What some AV programs do is quite simple- they have a clear list for programs published by certain companies or their own findings on certain programs, and a list built over time with potential virus names/traits located in it. Not to doubt the integrity of the checks at virustotal, but it sounds like 15 of the 44 don't actually check the program and just mark it as a potential threat/spam/virus/whatever if the program is an unlicensed .exe, like the fanpatch happens to be. This is sort of a safety net that will protect the user from really stupid viruses, but it will also block the majority of home-grown creations when they may be perfectly legitimate. I suggest looking into the names of the AV that had issues and see if you can recognize any of them.

EDIT: I tested the link and I had 1/16 report it as bad, but PareToLogic doesn't sound very convincing. I guess you're a member at virustotal, so you get access to all 44 program checks? Just take a quick peek at the names that reported it as malware, bad, whatever and if you can't recognize any of them- I suggest just taking the plunge.

Hope this helped, man.

Actually you don't have to be a member to get access to all of them. I'm guessing you're not scanning the latest fanpatch 1.17a.
Try scanning the uninstaller.

I ran it in a virtual machine with Windows XP and monitored the outbound connections. It does not try to contact any IP nor does it "drop" some exe in some weird place it shouldn't.

Not trying to take this thread off topic.
But if you go to the release forum you'll see that they even mention this as false positives with I'm 99.99% sure they are.
 
I've got a spare Duke Nukem Forever DLC code. I don't plan on getting the game so I'm up for whatever anyone wants to trade. PM me.

EDIT: GONE
