August 9, 200619 yr If you can buy MegaCity Dallas/Ft Worth from the MegaScenery website for $17.95 + a few buck for shipping. Why did someone buy it on Ebay for $24.50 + $5.00 shipping? Can someone explain what the benefit of doing so was.Thanks,Jeff Jeff Commercial | Instrument | Multi-Engine Land AMD 5600X, RTX3070, 32MB RAM, 2TB SSD
August 9, 200619 yr Winning a bid in ebay is like winning the Lottery. Especially when others are trying to outbid you?:)Manny Manny Beta tester for SIMStarter
August 9, 200619 yr Because Ebay is a big warez site and they probably didn't know better, LOL.Regards, MichaelKDFWhttp://www.calvirair.com/mcpics/ambanner.jpg Best, Michael KDFW
August 9, 200619 yr Author So is it illegal to purchase addons from Ebay? I haven't bought any FS addons from there yet, but if I can find a better deal on an addon that I want then I would go for it as long as it's legal.Jeff Jeff Commercial | Instrument | Multi-Engine Land AMD 5600X, RTX3070, 32MB RAM, 2TB SSD
August 9, 200619 yr (1) Somebody paid $35 for it and is dumping it;(2) Somebody hopes to get orders for $24.50 and go buy a copy to send to the person for $17.95 - thus making $6.45 - and probably a couple dollars on shipping - amazing how many people make more profit on the shipping than on the actual product sold;(3) People believe EVERYTHING on Ebay is a bargin.A smart shopper always checks several sources and finds the right combination of price and service.Unfortunately those appear to be an endangered species.

If what you are buying is not an original package, or a pirated copy. Then it is illegal. The problem with buying from ebay or any other non conventional method is you can never be sure you have a legal licensed copy!! Thanks Tom My Youtube Videos! http://www.youtube.com/user/tf51d
August 9, 200619 yr I have sold many of my no longer used FS addon's on ebay and always include a picture of the item with the case and manual.Not once did I get "more than what it was worth". I get a few bucks for something I no longer use and someone else get's something they want at a decent price.I have also paid for some add-on's via e-bay and have never had a problem with pirated stuff or warez.
