Plus, a $5 Diablo 2 key is quite the product to be pushing it's hard to say no to that price. Since he's actually turning a profit, I don't think people like him will stop any time soon. He's spamming for profit and that's annoying for gamers. I'm not going to use the CD key I felt like I was being tipped for the coverage.
Diablo 2 cd keys online free#
Oh, and here is a free CD key for your trouble ^_^. Indeed, I blacked out the cd-keys and customer name, but you can see how huge this project is. I have also included a screenshot in attachment. As for bigger markets, such as World of Warcraft, I am discussing a possible project with Bill, something to replace WoWGlider. Also, it was a lot of trouble to manage and wasn't nearly paying enough.
I met more scammers in my life that you can even imagine). And it seemed that every person I traded with got banned (note: they didn't really got banned, but were ready to do anything to get their money back. There were always people selling it cheaper than me. Also, I was once selling gold (for Gaia Online), but it caused me so much trouble that I preferred to stop. I already participate in GoldenGaia, a bot for Gaia Online. I certainly hope to sell them all :)Ħ) Is this going to be your only try at cashing in from a game addiction? Can we expect a gold-selling business from you in the future? Q: S o how is the sale going so far? How many do you think you can sell?Īt the moment of writing this, I have sold 175 of 4,249. It is, let's confess it, extremely cheap. $5 appeared like a reasonable, correct price not too expensive for people to go look elsewhere, not too cheap so I don't make profits, and $5 indeed sounded good. At this moment, I still pay a 5 percent fee, which is kinda ridiculous since I have 100 percent of the risk, but I guess there is no alternative. Putting it too low would result in fees of around 25 percent (yes, that high) for each the sale. The main problem I had was the huge PayPal fee. I kept getting them but am having trouble selling them. What was I supposed to do with hundreds of high runes, armors, accounts and, of course, CD keys? I kept accumulating them. For example, when World of Warcraft came out, most of my guild members stopped playing. AdvertisementĪs for the ''ridiculous'', let's say it was ridiculous a while back-there were occasions I just couldn't miss. Also, my shop was not nearly as popular and the price at the time, $14.99, discouraged many buyers. At one point I was planning to flood eBay with my CD keys, but my auctions kept being removed it is only recently that I had begun selling them without risk (I was suspended once for trying to sell them on eBay). Well, actually, most of my keys are bot-handled delivery process is 100 percent automated. Q: At what point do you go "this is just ridiculous?" It seems like that moment would be way before 4,000 keys. I bought them $1,000 for 800-900 games, so around $1 per keyset. But I have even more, mostly from my old job at EBgames. These represent most of the keys I have now. I used to deal with huge Chinese companies (the few on earth that have more than me) and traded them for hundreds of keysets at the time. Q: You said you also bought them in large numbers? From where? How much did you pay for them?
But I had at the time a small shop of Diablo 2 items and it really payed off. I ran this for at least two years and had hundreds of keys muted that way. Since you can run up to four instances of Diablo 2 on the same computer without any major problems, I used to run no less than two channel spammers, one PM bot (which private messages every player it can find), and one game invader (Join a game, spam, quit, and join another). Spamming Diablo 2 mostly means setting an auto-it bot (mostly because it's incredibly easy to do) and then posting in every single channel ever made. Q: What does it mean to spam Diablo 2? How does this get you keys? Take me through it step by step. Let's take a look at the seedy underbelly of gaming for profit. Then I started mass buying them in hoping to spam and spam and spam. I had hundreds and hundreds of keys muted and banned (note: I don't sell those). it all started when I had a small shop and was spamming Diablo 2 (at the time it really worked, in 2003). I caught up with the man who runs this business endeavor, Frank Lau, and of course I had a few questions. Small sales add up though: if he sells them all he stands to make at least $20,000. $5 is not a bad price for games that regularly still go for more at brick-and-mortar stores. That price includes a key for Diablo 2 and Lord of Destruction. I read the story on digg: someone accumulated over 4,000 Diablo 2 keys and is now selling them for $5 a throw.
