    Shykon's guide to cheap steam games & how to make RL cash.

    Hello Ownedcore,

    Today i am going to teach most of you readers how to get anything on steam 3x cheaper.
    As some of you may or may not know, Russian steam is a lot cheaper than any other countries (like 3x+ cheaper)

    OK so you are not Russian (or you are but haven't realized the price difference), what now?
    You can only add credit to your steam account (or pay for items) using a card registered in Russia....so here is the work-around for non-Russians

    Step 1


    Step 2
    • Connect to a Russian server
    • Make a new Russian steam account, with Russian details. (Google a random russian address for the account details, so it looks more believable)


    Step 3
    • Disconnect the VPN
    • Log in to your normal Steam account
    • Purchase TF2 keys from the community marketplace & gift them to your russian Steam account
    • Logout


    Step 4
    • Turn the VPN back on & login to your Russian steam account
    • Sell the gifted keys on the community market
    • Use the credit to buy games (A £25 will cost you about £9)
    • Gift the games to your normal account



    Making Money
    There are various ways you can make money from this:

    1)Sell them to people online via a forum or people you know.
    2)Make a Steam CD selling website.
    3)Use a site like "http://www.tf2outpost.com/", trade the games for keys, then sell the keys on steam community market <<Safest Option.



    Enjoy

    Just to let people know, you can no longer sell on the steam market unless you have made a purchase on that account (using humble codes no longer works).

    Go try, and share the results, but I doubt!

    Valve silently region-locked the Russian copies on most of their games since last December. All copies, purchased prior are still unlocked.

    Valve limits sales of cheap Russian games on Steam

    Also since new accounts can't sell things on the market, just buy a giftcard and apply it to a new russian account. After 30 days, that account will be able to sell on the market again.

    Doesn't matter what region the giftcard is from.
