    Description: I created a trade on SteamTrades.com requesting the Borderlands 2 Mechanomancer DLC in exchange for a copy of Borderlands 1 and Just Cause 2. A day later, the above user added me claiming he had a key for the DLC. He asked that I went first, claiming he had good rep. I checked his SteamRep profile, which had no rep listed, but his Steam profile had a years worth of positive rep from various people not on his friends list. I asked him where he had gotten the key and he claimed Amazon. I looked up the item on Amazon, which stated the DLC would unlock on Steam. Presumably, through a game key but it was unclear. This is where I probably should have disregarded Steam profile rep entirely and decided against trading with him and but what's done is done. I then traded him the two games and he stopped responding to chat.
    The screenshot above shows the chat, the trade being made and my inventory history afterwards.

    I'm aware game key related reports are difficult to process but I believe it's fair to at least mention what had happened. Thanks for your time.

    I feel it's important to mention I've since purchased said DLC for myself. I've included proof of this purchase as best I could.[​IMG]
