Trading

You can swap items and Lambda Coins with other players in two ways: face to face in game, or by sending a trade offer on the website.

Trading in game

Type !trading in chat to open the trading window and trade with someone on the same server.

Every in-game trade gets a trade receipt on the website, showing the items and money each player received, the trade chat and a log of what happened. Your past trades are listed under Trade History in your account.

Trade offers on the website

Trade offers work even when the other player isn't online.

1. Open their profile and choose Send Trade Offer, or start one from Trade Offers.
2. Pick the items and Lambda Coins you're offering, and what you'd like from them. You can add a message.
3. Send it. They can accept or decline it, and you can cancel it while it's still pending.

When an offer is accepted, we check it again. If an item has gone or someone can no longer afford their side, the offer becomes Invalid and nothing is swapped.

You can't send a trade offer to someone whose inventory is private.

Items you can't trade

• Items listed on the Community Market (remove the listing first)
• Content Creator items
• Rentals
• Items that have been opened or unsealed

Good to know

• When a StatTrak™ item changes hands, its kill count goes back to 0.
• Check every item in a trade before you accept, and never trade on a promise to "give it back later". Staff can't undo a trade you agreed to.
• Trading items for real money outside Lambda isn't recognised. If you want to sell, use the Community Market.
