To accuse someone of scamming/stealing you need proof and now there seems to be none.
I've been trading/reselling steam games for over a year now. I haven't done much business on btctalk. However, I'v made ~300 trades; got ~50 positive feedback on steamgifts; I havent been reported on steamrep for games being revoked or scam attempts; I haven't been vac/trade banned either. I have ~400 games (in my 8 years old steam acc) as well as a long a steam purchase history (~1.5 years old). I doubt anyone would get away with stealing items etc for this long, unless they are genius. All this may not appear like much to you, but it appears to be enough to other people.
I didn't include my steamprofile (and other links) due to a simple reason: to avoid scammers, stalkers, great business(wo)men etc.
This was not an accusation. Even if all you said still don't explain how you can make profit by selling bought games 20% less than how you bought it.
It was just because what you're doing is exactly the same than what others are doing with microsoft keys.
They get red trust instantly. not you.
And I don't see why.
To further unlock the mystery on my profit making I'll refer to what I mentioned earlier:
(..)As far as the issue of profit is concerned it looks like every (re)seller in this forum has their own agenda. However, BTC may be considered cheap now while in future it may become expensive.
I also mentioned:
(..) I've been trading/reselling steam games for over a year now.
I sold a considerable amount of CSGO/TF2 keys and steam games for BTC when btc was worth ~240. Now the price increased to ~420. By referring to the price change one may come to a conclusion I'v made $~136 (per one btc if I choose to spend it). I could have not dumped ~$284 ( $240 + ~20%) into steam games but then I wouldn't have made ~$136. To one this may look like a risky longshot but it appears it paid off. All in all, 280 vs 420 in btc does look different (provided the btc was obtained for ~$240).
My discounts (on gifts) are subject to change and vary in respect of or can be affected by:
- demand on product: e.g too many copies vs too little copies (provided the two different games have the same discount price)
- price change:
a. some games can be bought cheaper from the steam store once in a blue moon, e.g Insurgency $2.24 vs 5.09; Tomb Raider $3 vs 5
b. some games decrease in their base price (due to various reasons e.g performance issues, being unpopular or outdated etc), e.g Far Cry 4 & Batman Arkham Knight $60 -> 40
- availability: some games tend to be removed from the steam store but not from steam library/inventory once bought, e.g State of Decay vs State of Decay YOSE
- game type: gift vs key/code (gifts seem easier to verify when sent/received/traded/redeemed)
- price difference: country vs country (currency)
- my own personal preferences
I obviously don't plan on spending BTC (on real-life stuff) when I get it for 20% less (when the price is <~420/1 btc). Neither do I mind risking it when I notice sudden BTC price changes (to avoid potential loss or to make potential profit).
Whether or not it is worthwhile to take risk with BTC with a view to making profit in, say 6-12 months, (like the one I took months ago) is debatable. However, I'm the kind of the person who doesnt mind doing so.

I did my best at explaining the issue of stolen goods etc earlier. To sum up: nothing I (re)sold or traded has ever dissapeared or been revoked nor have I attempted a scam.
