OMG I got a 50% discount coupon for Skyrim. I can barely believe it.  :o

Too bad these coupons aren't accumulative, and 50% is as high as it goes for Bethesda...

If anyone has and Bethesdra or Ubisoft discount coupons they don't want to use in their Steam account, you could send them over to me ;D

[notsorandomthoughts]Coupons that are actually worth anything  ::) (Skyrim and Assassin's Creed Revelations are expensive still very popular games. ::) Coal isn't much either, so I've been placing my bets on those two coupons. I was even able to get a copy of the Portal game with a few coupons, that I bought for a few coal ;D

Best thing of course are games, they're worth much more, but it can be tricky for someone who didn't have any to begin with (most people only trade games for games, and not coupons or coal  :( ) Though I did get one on my that's on my wishlist.

I know I'm rambling, but I'm actually kind of proud of myself ;D

Next year will be interesting.  8) I'll try to be better prepared, and hopefully more lucky. [/notsorandomthoughts]

If you have any coal that hasn't been crafted yet I have two spare that you could have as I don't really use steam and not going to hit the target of 7.

Could I? I'm still trying to see if I can make the most of my stuff...

If you want I have 1 -25% Ubisoft coupon for the 2 coal. Don't know if you were thinking on buying one of those games any time soon...

Its all right I don't want anything in return, you can just have them. As I am on a mac there aren't many games that I want that I haven't already got on a console.

I'm wondering if it's better to try and trade my -50% Skyrim coupon for a game worth more than $10 and buy Skyrim which is -33% off right now. ???

Tough decision.

Thanks, but I have no use for coal anymore :) Thanks for the offer though :)

Did you manage to get Skyrim in the end xSilverPhinx?

No, but I did manage to get another -50% coupon, which I traded for Napoleon Total War Imperial Edition. I'm going to use the coupon soon to buy Skyrim, getting it was way over my initial expectations (didn't expect to get even a -33% one unless very lucky) so I'm happy with that. :)

If they open a holiday sale next year I might have to open a trading branch here ;D I made a few mistakes I wouldn't repeat.

All in all I got around $50 worth of games that I ended up keeping by just trading stuff. :)

Not to turn this thread into "xSilverPhinx's thought for the day" but I just bought Bejewled 3 for $5 on Steam and can't get enough of it.

The Bejeweled effect, it's there. O_o

I keep seeing colored gems to match.

I plan on getting FFXIII-2 as well as Mass Effect 3 when they both come out. I adore both titles and genres and look forward to playing them.

You played the FFXIII-2 demo yet, it feels very different to FFXIII which in my opinion is a good thing, though I might give it a miss as I don't think I can be bothered with grinding for hours on end just to progress in the game. Mass Effect 3 will be a day one purchase for me its a fantastic series. But I have loads of games that I haven't even started due to Skyrim.
