How to: Steam Trade
Steam trade is a feature from Steam that was first released as a beta on 9th of August 2011. It allows us to trade in-game items, games, coupons, steam gifts, and coals for The Great Gift Pile event. Currently, Team Fortress. Portal 2, and Spiral Knight’s items are compatible to Steam trade, more games coming soon as Steam is still negotiating with developers.
