    Things not to use:

    - Craigslist
    - eBay
    - Any website that allows someone other than a trusted company (Amazon, Gamestop, Official website) to ship.

    Damn man you're missing out.

    You have no idea the crazy deals I've gotten on ebay.

    Stop worrying so much and live a little!

    Yeah that happened once, but it was no big deal just sell it again and set buyer restrictions to have at least a couple feedback.

    Same. As long as you're careful, though, you'll be fine on eBay.

    I know it's a much older game, but I got Gears of War 2 for my 360 for $13 from a big video game discount store. This is pretty legit.

    I ended up just keeping it.
     
  13. Never, never buy CD or activation keys from untrusted sources. Ever. They are never legit. Where do you think this guy is getting them? Buying them from Valve in bulk? No, they don't work like that. Don't buy.

    Bought it and it works guys.

    It was an nvidia product code.

    So my guess is that this guy bought a bunch of cards to sell that came with just cause 2
     
  17. And how would one get one's hands on so many promotional cards given that they're generally only found bundled with hardware -- usually video cards? It's not like they sell these things by themselves...

    Thats what I'm saying. He probably buys video cards in bulk and sells the codes separately to make a bigger profit.

    Smart and legal.
     
  19. Shady and slimy. I wouldn't buy codes or cards off someone like that.
