Well I'm finally a Plus Seller! Woo. I didn't mention this last time so I will mention this now, I'm based in Canada and list prices in USD to make it easier for people and it's a universal currency. If you're paying me via Paypal, convert your USD to the Canadian dollars equivalent (ie: $2 USD=$2.70 Canadian). Paypal does this automatically for you anyways but it's just to clear up confusion. Similarly, if you're paying via Amazon Gift Card, I primarily use Amazon.ca and would like it if you converted your USD to the Canadian dollar equivalent.
Anywho, I have a bunch of unused keys from old Humble Bundles. I'm selling this entire batch below for $2. Don't even care if you pick this up just to try and re-sell it pieces of it, I've held onto some of these keys literally for years, I'm not gonna be using them anytime soon.
Bioshock has been de-listed from Steam but if you redeem the key, it becomes Bioshock Remastered automatically.
I'm also looking for these games from prior Humble Bundles:

I want either (or both) adapter(s). I own the Elgato Game Capture HD and while it can capture my HDMI enabled consoles I can't capture stuff that uses component cables like my Gamecube games(through Wii), orginal Xbox, PS3. I would love to obtain an S-Video adapter as well because I want to capture old school consoles (Sega Saturn, SNES, N64). All of that is currently out of my reach without the adapters

Question: I'm a total newbie to Steam and have never had an account. I've got a new Mac and was thinking of playing Deus Ex:Human Revolution for it, a game that often sells for under $5 these days. If I try to buy it online, I automatically get redirected to the Japanese store (my current physical location). If I get into Steam, I want everything to be at my permanent/citizenship home, the USA. Will I be able to buy and download the game if I'm physically in the USA, and then carry it on my hard drive wherever I go? (Or does it do IP geolocation whenever you boot the game, or something terrifying like that?)
And if the above works, consider this post a standing offer to buy a download code for Deus Ex: Human Revolution for Mac.
------
Now for the stuff I'm selling:
Merry Christmas 2018, ResetErans! I have lots of Japanese stuff that I can carry back to the USA when I return there on December 21, and would love to put it into your hands!
I have 100% positive feedback both as a buyer and seller on our old site and have made many people happy over the years, with plenty of repeat customers!
All prices include US shipping and have factored in the hassle of my lugging them up and down subway stairwells and through airport terminals. I will very gladly ship abroad. Japan Post offers international media mail, unlike the US, and books generally cost between $3 and $10 additional, depending on weight, to ship overseas.
Prices are below market/eBay, though I give bigger discounts for things that are light and easy to carry and small/no discounts for stuff that I will get hernias trying to carry. ^_^; I prefer PayPal Gift, but will also take Amazon Payments and Bitcoin. I'm looking for discounted PSN and Amazon credit (and will buy large amounts of it at 80-90% of face value), so let me know if you want to offer that.
Expensive stuff first. These are all heavy and would cost a bit more to ship outside the USA, so just ask:
Encyclopaedia Eorzea Volumes 1 and 2, Japanese originals, brand new (volume 1 is still sealed; I opened 2 to get photos) Namingway minion and Matoya's Hat items included/unused. $110 shipped for the pair.
Xenogears Perfect Works: The Real Thing - In Japanese. This is the 2014 reissue, which is itself now out of print. $95.00
Steins;Gate Linear Bounded Phenogram Limited Edition (Japanese) for PS3: This contains the Japanese game (of course) plus a mock-up replica of Rintaro Okabe's cell phone. The phone looks amazing! $50.
Final Fantasy XIV "Another Dawn" Artbook new and unused - included a rare Airship Minion downloadable code at time of printing, but it supposedly expired. No idea if it's still being honored. Thick, heavy, and gorgeous. $30 shipped in USA.
FFXIV A Realm Reborn and Heavensward Beginning Guidebooks - beautiful oversized guides for 2.0 and 3.0; full of maps and art; a great introduction to the game. Even if you don't read Japanese, the art is quite nice. $25 shipped for the pair.
Final Fantasy XV "World Prologue" Artbook new and unused - a big preview book for FFXV full of CG art. $15 shipped in USA.
Other stuff grouped by price:
$18 each
Final Fantasy VIII OST limited first printing - well used, but this is the 1999 first printing that contains a booklet with an interview with Uematsu and was sold only by making a reservation in certain convenience stores. Nowadays they print this using regular CD cases with sleeves. One of my favorite OSTs of all time. (I have another copy, in near-mint condition, but want to keep that one for myself. I'd consider selling it.)
Chaos;Head & Steins;Gate Science Adventure Series Maniacs - Great guidebook with tons of promotional art. Two games in one book.
Final Fantasy Type-0 "Aka no Hisho" - The ultimate guidebook for this game; beautiful translucent dust jacket. Has lots of artwork, a historical timeline, stats on real-life players, etc.
$13 each:
Japanese PS1 Valkyrie Profile - The US version may have prices in triple figures, so why not try the Japanese version at a fraction of the price?
Japanese PS1 Final Fantasy IX - Perfect condition, great timeless game.
Valkyria Chronicles official guidebook
Steins;Gate official guidebook - A4 size but not too thick. The official guidebook that came out when the game was new. Covers all scenarios, has artwork, etc.
Ultimania books: many are pictured here: http://i.imgur.com/ZF4OOeB.jpg

Final Fantasy IX Ultimania (have two of these)
Final Fantasy XII Battle Ultimania and Scenario Ultimania and

Trekking on the World of Final Fantasy XII - a wonderful unofficial post-release guide with quirky constrained-game stuff like trying to see how few steps you can take; world demographics like percentages of humans, Bangaas, moogles, etc. in each city. Great fun. I have *three* of these because I pick them up when I spot them, specifically to sell them onward.

Final Fantasy XI 4-Panel Manga Japanese-English Bilingual Intro to MMORPGs - I bought this to familiarize myself with MMORPG jargon before starting FFXIV. Each page contains the same 4-panel manga story with English on the left and Japanese on the right. A fantastic learning tool if you're studying Japanese, and as someone who needed to learn MMORPG slang in *English*, I loved this book.
Japanese PS3 games: Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Assassin's Creed II, and White Knight Chronicles. Want to try your hand at playing a familiar game in Japanese? Give DX or AC a try!
US PS2 games: Prince of Persia, Xenosaga, and Xenosaga II, $10 each
$5.00 each:
Xenosaga I Scenario Book - Complete dialogue for the game.
Star Ocean II: The Second Story Official Guidebook & Basic Knowledge
Tales of Phantasia PS1 remake official guidebook
I will very gladly give discounts if you're buying lots of stuff! (Particularly the Persona items; I have a lot and would love to do a bulk sale to a big Persona fan.) And if you're from outside the US, let me know where you live, as some countries don't seem to be accepting international media mail so the shipping will be high. I would love to get some of this hard-to-find Japanese stuff in your hands!
And if the above works, consider this post a standing offer to buy a download code for Deus Ex: Human Revolution for Mac.

i'm not certain, but i don't think Steam accounts get locked out based on physical location - i think the only real relevance is what region the account is originally tied to. you might want to ask in the Steam (excuse me, PC COMMUNITY) thread to be sure, but regardless, you can have Steam start in offline mode and play it wherever without having to worry. Steam won't be connected to it's servers, so you won't be able to access your friends list or pop cheevos, but you'll be able to play the game (assuming it doesn't need to be connected to Squares servers, can't remember if DE is always online or not)
Thanks for the info! In that case I'll set up a Steam account while physically in the US, download the game to a USB, and then take it back with me when I go abroad again.
And now I would love to BUY a digital code for Deus Ex: Human Revolution for Mac from anyone who is selling!
Let me answer this question out of personal experience, I'm originally from Eastern Europe, and maybe 90% of my steam games are resell keys (from cdkeys.com, instant-gaming.com etc) and the rest are games that I bought directly from the steam store during sales. All of my games work without a problem in the US, I can download and play every single one of them. The only restriction Steam has is regarding activating region locked keys (which in most cases are Russian keys), but even that you can overcome by having a VPN (but I highly doubt you'll be going that route). So to summarize, if you're buying a key from humble bundle or a resell site, just make sure that they're region free and you should be good (humble bundle keys are almost always region free). Hope this answers your question.
You can create an account now if you'd prefer. It'll be tied to the Japanese store at first, but once you're in the US and purchase something from the US store, the "home region" of your account will change. If you travel abroad again in the future and Steam defaults to the wrong store, you can change back to the region within which you last completed a purchase by using the drop-down box on the cart or account details pages.
As Mindfreak says above, publishers do have options to region-lock games on Steam, but these days it's generally a non-issue outside of keys intended for Eastern Europe. If you're ever curious whether a key might be region-locked, just ask in the PC gaming thread or feel free to PM me directly.

Steam used to do this (block games on your account based on region), but it got a pretty bad pushback, (region locked PC games, yes it was a thing), so now Steam just checks region on key activation.
Once a key is activated and on your account, you're good to play from anywhere.

Thanks to all of you with the Steam comments -- I've never had a PC, so I've never gotten acquainted with Steam. And with my Mac I really just want to play the one game, DXHR. (I already have it on PS3 but want to be able to take screenshots for a short story I'm writing.)
And Steam works with both Mac and Windows, right?
And Steam works with both Mac and Windows, right?
It's on a game-by-game basis, but there are two forms of region locking. One is where the Steam key will not activate unless your IP matches the key region. The second form of region locking incorporates the aforementioned but also prevents the game from running if your IP does the match the key region.
Edit:
Reading the original OP, though, the question seems to pertain more to buying a game in the Steam store in a different region vs. buying a Steam key outside of the Steam store. I actually think Steam made it possible to change region and currency in account details even if the user is in a different country.
Edit 2:
What if I want to purchase in a currency or region other than what is shown?
Your store country must be set to the country where you currently reside and you must have a local payment method you can use to make purchases.
All available payment methods in your current region are listed during the checkout process.
If you are unable to make purchases in your current region, look for Steam-compatible CD Keys and/or Steam Wallet Codes available for purchase at your local gaming retail stores.

I'm in the UK if that's relevant with redemption codes.
Probably a bit of a long shot as there isn't much reason to not use it yourself if you have one but if somebody does, would you be willing to part with it? The 48 hour trial I just used doesn't allow me to download Mercenaries on GWG or get Panzer Dragoon at its discounted price, unfortunately.
