not sure where to post this.
Just a thought.
Why doesn't TDF has a thread in which the admins and trusted people offer to be middleman for trading game keys and steam cards? There should be one. It would be great.

Most of the members here are trusted,I don't really see the need of a middle man.
Isn't the main purpose of ONLINE trading/Buying via sites,forums with the aim of elminating the Middle man,Then why create one?

^yeah I agree, that is a great idea

Is there any way to verify if a key is valid without activating it ?

If not, the best way IMO is if the seller himself activates the key on buyer's PC via teamviewer

no there isnt a way to check if key's valid or not.
Teamviewer is a good idea..
