I picked up Skyrim a few days ago and haven't been enjoying it as much as I had hoped. I just can't seem to get into it the way I did Fallout 3.
I've never played either of the Bioshocks and they look more appealing to me, so I was hoping someone would be willing to make a trade for one or both of them.

What say you? Blasphemy!
-
I can heartily recommend the first Bioshock.
I'm a little confused though, you have Skyrim on Steam and you're able to trade it now? Or You have the product key seperate from Steam and you're looking to trade it for a similar key?

Honestly, I just learned that you can trade Steam games. I've never done it before so I'm not aware of any kinds of restrictions. I purchased it through Steam. Is there a time limit between when I bought it and when I can trade it?

What items can be traded?
Currently, Steam gifts/games, Team Fortress 2 items, Spiral Knights items and Portal 2 items can all be traded.
Will there be other games that support trading?
We're working now with other game developers to incorporate both Trading and Inventories.
What do you mean by trading Steam Gifts?
Any game you've purchased from the store as a gift, or received as an Extra Copy, can be traded to other users. They can be used to trade for other Gifts, or for items in games supporting Steam Trading. We've added a new checkout option to the Store when purchasing a gift so you can save it for trading or sending later, to support users who want to save games for trade fodder.
What restrictions are there on trading Steam Gifts?
Trading a Steam Gift is very similar to sending a gift to someone; just that once it is traded that user can then either trade it again, or open it for themselves. There are no restrictions on territory.
Why aren't some of my gifts tradable?
Only gifts that are purchased on trusted accounts can be traded immediately; otherwise there is a 30-day cool down before the gift can be traded. Any account that has made any valid purchase from the Steam Store more than 30 days ago is considered trusted. This is to ensure that all games traded are valuable, and help prevent fraudulent purchases for the purpose of trades.
Does Steam Trading mean I can sell my used games?
No, only games that have been bought as a gift, and thus have never been played, can be traded. Once the Steam Gift is opened and added to your game library, you won't be able to trade it again.

Currently, Steam gifts/games, Team Fortress 2 items, Spiral Knights items and Portal 2 items can all be traded.
So despite purchasing it via Steam, that doesn't necessarily make it a "Steam game"?
Forgive my ignorance. :(

Never.

Just pulled it from the Steam FAQ.
The Game Industry in general hates the used-game market (as they don't get a cut), so I was sceptical that (even loved as it is) Steam would allow it.

Well, nevermind. Apparently you can't trade games that have been activated. Lame.
