And I'm sure many more of you got them as well (They seem to send them to random people during holidays). Question is, what should I buy with it?

I'm currently thinking about Bioshock Infinite from this link

Dunno if the seller is legit though (And no idea if this would affect me when I buy the DLC, doesn't look like it's region locked or anything though). Any suggestions of ebay legit CD key sellers who sell their games for cheap? I don't want to spend that much paypal (I think this bioshock will only cost me 5 bucks or something like that).

This is my wishlist but feel free to post any other suggestions! And in fact I encourage any of you who got lucky as I to post what you did with your 15+ bucks.

UPDATE: I ended up buying what DillonMabry suggested and looked for the cheapest offer. Found this offer and bought it. Seller told me it takes a day to get the key so I'll keep you informed. I'll probably get saints row 4, hitman absolution and tomb raider (Last one for trading purposes) for 10 bucks.

UPDATE 2: Deal went fine! i got SR4 and can redeem 2 other games from the ADM gold reward promotion. All that for 10 bucks. I think I'll trade the SR4 for TF2 keys though.

Don't waste your money. It's on for $13.59 on GreenManGaming last I checked, in addition to the 20% off voucher on the main page.

It's $20.39 right now. With a 20% discount it would be around 16 bucks, still higher than 6 dollars but I'm not buying it yet from ebay in case I find something more interesting, that's why I opened this thread, to see what other people would do with them (And find legit ebay key sellers while I'm at it).

Huh. Must be a regional sale price; here in North America, it's $13.59.

Still, be careful with the Ebay sellers. Nothing to stop them from giving a null code, giving no code, or going to steam support with a proof of purchase receipt after the fact, leaving you with nothing. ;)

Yeah I'm checking this person in particular right now. He seems to have a staggering positive reputation on ebay since 2 years ago and most of the negative feedback comes from people who thought they were buying a physical copy of the game.

EDIT: If anybody can read german please check the link I posted to see if there's anything fishy there.

Use it on something that you can only acquire through Ebay. Otherwise it's a waste.

I'm not looking for anything that requires shipping. Mostly interested in saving my paypal money really so I'm fine with buying steam games from there, as long as it's a better deal than waiting for a steam sale in a month.

Your loss then, unless you find a code for something that's non-steam.

I'm taking it more as a 15 bucks saving for games than anything else, I really have nothing physical I want to buy right now, otherwise I would've gone with that option.

Although to be honest, my biggest pain is to import anything to my country. The taxes are so stupid I'll end up paying for the product I decide to import anyway. And that's without even counting that this place is not the best place for anything fancy to arrive :x

Haha, yeah, good to know there's somebody else here who knows my pain. It's a shame, otherwise I would totally import stuff all the time.

that was one of my initial ideas but I'd rather get something singleplayer right now (My multiplayer needs are covered by payday 2 and borderlands 2).

Alright, Get Deus Ex: Human Revolution if it's not over 15$, I think it is a great game with a good story in it. I have not played it myself though.

Great advice but I already have it (Played the hell out of that game back in 2011 and first half of 2012) and plan to buy the Director's Cut upgrade once certain bugs are fixed (I have all the DLCS so it will only cost me 5 dollars).

Now that I think about it, anybody who owns the vanilla game and The Missing Link basically has 2 games that were removed from the store. That makes our library a bit more worthy and "rare" :D

Yup. Nice to see a non-regulated money thief (PayPal) pushing clients to its parent monopoly that regularly defecates on its customers (both buyers and sellers).

Two of the worst large companies on the net, bar none.

Yeah! That was an excellent choice! It's a great game. Would've totally picked that if I had not gotten it when it was released, for 20 bucks (Oh the old times where Hookups actually had decent deals I cared about lol).

Nice to see somebody else who got that code and decided to use it for steam related stuff. If possible let me know who the seller was.

Do you HAVE to hook up your bank account/credit card to use money on paypal?

Comment has been collapsed.

Nope. I had my paypal account for 2 years and never had to do that. Also I actually found this coupon in an alternative paypal account I've never used. So I just sent myself some dollars from account to account and went to ebay and used the coupon.

The gift code can't be transferred so you HAVE to use the account you got the code on in order to be able to buy stuff with it.

I got one of these gift codes from Ebay once. I bought a steam code off of Ebay from a reputable store and the fucker refunded me for no reason and without warning. Lets just say that you don't get the coupon back,... :/

If you wish to buy games on ebay, only buy physical games and always get a shipping option that includes shipping confirmation service.

Never buy game keys from ebay. If someone who sold you a game key reverses charges on the account he bought the key on, you are out of luck. These keys are too frequently sourced from stolen credit cards.

Well, time to post an update. Edited the first post with more info at the bottom of it but long story shot, deal went fine so it's time to see what to do with these gamekeys, if redeem them or trade them for TF2 keys or something.
