As many of you may know, steam likes to price games the same on US & EU without accounting for currency conversion, IE:
US: $40
EU: 40£ EU: 40€
I'm offering to gift games from my US account to your EU account.
Simply pay the US price and a bit extra to cover paypal fees & a little extra for moi.
Why should you do this...?
This is why:
40£ = $63.58
40€ = $59.61
Thats quite a bit more than $40 isn't it?
If you buy games straight from the steam store in EU you're getting jipped.
I charge 25% on top of base US price. For Example:
$40 + ($40 x 25%) = 50 USD = 30.77£ $40 + ($40 x 25%) = 50 USD = 33.64€
£40 vs 30.77£ / 33.64€ ...Which would you rather spend?
PM if interested, have your game picked out and your money ready.
I will gift directly to your email. I will not add you on steam and gift to you that way.
Only dealing with contributor+, or ID verified members. If you aren't either don't bother contacting.

And as an added (confirmed by peeps on steam with l4d1) side effect, If you live in a place with a cut version of the game (germany I think) then you get the uncut version, because the us gift is the uncut version.

Reputation: 1 Level up: 72%, 115 Points needed | | | w00t the UK's finally getting a break
L4D2's up for £26.99 pre-order aswell, down from £29.99.
EDIT: Some games for the UK are cheaper and some have something stupid like 40p difference.
For example, Left 4 Dead is £24.99 UK, $29.99 US so with the conversion it work's out to be about £18.78.

7.68£ Alrighty I reworked my formula to be alot easier on me while still giving ~the same price. Its now 25% of the US price + US price, instead of 25% eu price in usd + us price (see how that can get confusing...)
So For example, Gmod:
$9.99 x .25 + 9.99 = 12.4875
Thus, $12.48 is my price
9.99£ = $16.22
9.99€ = $14.84
vs $12.48 (my price)
