DEAD: Half-Life 2: The Orange Box for about $17

[Navid]

They have accepted my scans as they were.
However, the game shows out of stock now!
They claim that I will get my key tomorrow.

If you go for this, try to get verified with only sending them the authorization code.
If you have to send them an ID card scan, make sure to cover everything other than your Name and address.

I wonder what Valve's take on this place is.

I would definitely use a temp CC or a gift card to do this, so you're not giving away information for a ful lfledged card that can be used in identity theft. The whole thing seems pretty fishy, even if it works, you have to wonder where your personal information is going to end up in the following months or years.

Hopefully, for the sakes of the people who bought something this way, nothing comes of it except a cheap game, but we are in the 21st century, and Bangkok is like the friggin Mos Eisley of the real world (having been there twice myself for work related stuff).

The zest site didn't work for me, I can't login. What is my username? I assume its my email but that didn't work, they said they were sending me an email after I finished registering but never did. So, I guess that site sucks.

Anyway the other site looked good at 21$ but now its 24$

Not so hot

Just got my key from them as well. Even though it's $24 now, it's still a better deal since you're only sending money via PayPal and don't have to send any sort of personal information.

OK this website just doesn't like me. First I registered with one email and they never sent an email. Tried logging in with FOR SURE my right information, my email I put in and password. Didn't work 3 times so it locked me out. So I try to do it again with a different email at gmail. THIS TIME I get an email from gmail showing EXACTLY what my login is (I was right its your email) and my password RIGHT THERE. I tried 3 times and it locked me out. I wonder if its because I'm using Opera. Any way.

Stupid website

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on this for 24$

People who think zest is going to rip them off and identity are being retarded. The company is just gamestop. Same company. Still the website just didn't work at all for me so I didn't have the option

Okay, I'm in on the ecrater deal - let you all know when I get my key as well...

 

[JBT]

no key yet for me on the $24 deal... They sure did take the money though!

 

[AMDZen]

Me either but it hasn't been 24 hours yet, might be a time difference since the guy is in Thailand

 

[IceCreamMan2633]

email him. i got my key right after i emailed him.

 

[AMDZen]

You emailed Suksonspa at gmail.com right?

 

[JBT]

I emailed him as well. He said it would ship ASAP, didn't give me one though.

 

[AMDZen]

He didn't respond to my email

 

[AMDZen]

So he emailed me back:

Hello,
This item is email for cd-key.
You will have item within 1-2 day.

We don't ship product on this order.

Thanks.

So why would it take 1-2 days then? Its already been 24 hours now. I'm just impatient I know, I have been wanting this for a while but was going to wait for the price to drop

I'm going to guess that he needs to actually get the game in stock - in order to email you the key he has to get one off of the retail box. Once he goes through all the stock he has, he needs to get more.

Actually, I'm nearly positive that he is buying it from Zest for 16-17 and selling them. Which means all he gets is the CD-Key from them and then just forwards it to me.

Actually you're wrong. He sent me a scanned picture of the CD key from the back of a retail box in a password-protected RAR file.

Just received my key and the Orange Box is open for me to download! Thanks for the great deal!
