No, you can only trade games that you have in your inventory, for example: a gift or an extra copy The trading system has about 4 different items to trade with: Games, TF2 items, Spiral Knights items, and Portal 2 items.

Kinda limited for now, but we can only hope that Steam will eventually let us trade games that we have already played.

That would only work if there was a limit of games you can do, as in you have to own the game for at least a few months to trade, etc.

If you go to the Steam forums a lot of people trade there, but remember the trading system it's still in beta.

Steam just made it public...

You cant. Its a game you've already played and it isnt an extra copy.

I think the whole thing was just designed to make people a bit less apprehensive about buying bundles with games they already have in them.

Yeah,I understand it. But it will never happen with games you already played :P
