I just bought a whole bunch of Steam games with SBD. That's right, my blog earnings got me some new games to try out and blog about!
How, you ask? Well, it's quite simple! Let me tell you about it.
I was just Steeming for a bit, when @ahmadmanga posted a comment on one of my blogs. It made me check out his profile and that's when I stumbled upon his post: Buy Steam games with your crypto.
What followed was a long list of games he got from various sources (bundles and such). He wrote that he was selling them for fair (cheap) prices and best of all: you could pay him with crypto! Even better: I didn't need anything besides my existing Steemit account, because he accepts SBD (amongst others)!
I gave him a long list of games I wanted to buy from him and added him on Steam. We then traded many games for SBD.
I'm very happy with my new games. My current financial situation is very unstable, so I don't allow myself to buy many nice things for now. Being able to pay for them with SBD opened up a great possibility! I'm not sure when I'll get around to playing them, but I now have plenty of options open to me. Great for a rainy day and patch days in Black Desert Online.
@ahmadmanga's prices were really great and he's a good guy to trade with. It all went pretty smoothly and I gave him an extra 5 SBD as a thank you.
I'm writing this for two reasons:
- To potentially send some more customers his way.
- To acknowledge he's a trusted seller.
Here's what I send him to show you everything went alright (we traded per three games, hench the multiple transaction):
He'll post an updated list every so often, so if you like to try new games once in a while, I suggest you follow @ahmadmanga to check if he has anything interesting for you. All you need is SBD!
By the way, he updated his current list aswell, so all the games I bought are now crossed out.

This is awesome, thanks for the info dude! I'll probably be doing this in the future.
Thanks dude! Though I'm not a dude ;-)
I don't assume gender, dude :)
Mmmmh, I might sell my leftover keys too in a few days when I come back home. Seeing that I have so many game keys unactivated on humble bundle and other bundle sites. I checked his prices compared to sites that sell keys and it's pretty much the best price on most of the games he is selling !
I'm glad it's that way.... These actually are the usual prices of Steamtrades.com, it's just that they trade for keys/paypal and not SBD.
Thanks for your comment @ragepeanut! Yes, I think it's a wonderful idea to get rid of some extra game keys. I might have tried it myself, except that I don't have any spare game keys, because I've only ever bought one bundle in my life so far.
Just waiting for my pictures and designs to sell, to fill up my PayPal again ;-)
Great post, and awesome idea on his part. Smart thinking.
Yes definitely! I'm glad he came up with it :-)
Thanks @playfulfoodie ... I already restocked games but it will take time to list them... so I probably post the new list later today or tomorrow.
Awesome! Hope you get some more customers :-)
can i earn through steam my friend told me that he is earning by selling something i mean skins of counter strike is that true ?
I have to admit to you @hassanabid, I haven't tried that yet. I did hear you can sell certain things (cards/skins/etc) on Steam. I'm just not sure what you get in return. Maybe it's Steam credits or something, so you can buy new games there, but I'm just guessing.
If you mean selling skins on Steam, it's absolutely true. I do that often to buy some games that are on sale. There is a market implemented in Steam in which people buy and sell their inventory items, however, you can't withdraw the money you make from selling on the market. You can only use it to buy other items or to buy games, and you can't send it to friends either. It's not Steam Credits as @playfulfoodie guessed but normal currency (euro, dollar, ...) depending on the country you live in.
Earning on steam is a very hard work and you'll need a lot of learning... The most common ways I know are:
Is to get games from bundles and trade them for keys, that's the way I do (I just got the brilliant idea of selling for SBD too)... But I don't do it for profit as much as I do it to get back some of the money I buy the bundles with to buy more bundles in the future... But in my experience you'll probably get about back %120 if you traded all the games you get from HumbleBundle, more so if it's the monthly or if the bundle is great... when you trade with keys then trade those keys to BTC most if not all of the profit will be gone due to fees.
Do like point one, but instead of trading them... sell them on Resellers websites... This is much more profitible but I don't recommend it at all because of the reputation of these sites.
Buying/Selling Skins... but this is hard to do the right way (I don't even know what is the right way) if you can learn how though, this can be the most profitable way but at the same time... the most risky!!
Well, that's what I know... there may be other ways. Lastly if you don't already use steam for playing... don't use it for earning.. you won't be happy with how hard it is to earn.
Oh my god, waiting next game
