Can I sell my items directly and privately to my friends on Steam Market ?

I want to sell a unique price to my friend but I'm afraid somebody else will take it away

You can not trade items for wallet funds. Period. Doesn't matter how you describe it, can't be done.

That's bad news for him.

Best I can suggest is he buys something else off of the market, trades that to you for the item, and then you can sell that on the market I guess. Though with the double hit on market fees that's pretty brutal.

What stops you from just listing it on the market for the going rate, and him buying it on the market for the going rate? You're still paying the 15% market fees but that's how the market works.

Hell, you could just list it for 1 cent less than the lowest sell listing and at the same time your buddy puts in a buy order for the same price. I mean that would work but I'm assuming if just "you sell the item on the market and he buys the same thing from the market" were an option you wanted to consider you'd not be asking here.

Bro just get him to transfer you the money and then just trade him the item on steam. Pretty simple.
