i mean how can anyone be sure for example there was no jewel case game or some type? i guess it depends on publisher, but from my experiences a lot of times even the people that work in certain organisation dont' really knwo what is selling there (if the organisation is big enough).[/b]

I think this is rather about getting no manual and no game box when purchasing there.

Could it be possible they sell pirated copies? The site looks real fishy to me.

Well they could restock by purchasing old copies from third parties that can't sell them on their own. I'm not saying innocent or guilty though, I can't provide info on that.

Probably the "Really Silly Games Shed Ltd." who only store games! k:
Sorry, I don't believe that.

or maybe ask the companies (if they still exist or copyright holders) about this issue.

I think that'll be a good starting point.

How many games were published in Ziploc bags, though?

still the whole thing looks kind of fishy to me. it was actually strange form the beginning when i was first referred to them. i mean only one shop would buy all remaining coppies and then sell them. not only that, but they also re-stock eventhough copies are officially not produced anymore?!?!? how can you re-stock? [/b]

That's one thing. Though in theory they might be buying off some leftover copies here and there, or buying off mechandise from smaller distributors going bankrupt or sth, it still doesn't explain some of the things in there (especially in terms of the number of several of the games they have in stock).

That's what I and several others suspect.

i've never liked the look of that place no matter how you cut it.

Yeah, I just checked for Full Throttle and saw something very odd:

(DOS) (CD in white sleeve*) (FULLTHPO)
*CD is marked "Not for Individual Sale"

Now does this mean they bought tons of collections and sold every other CD from the collection set except for this one? Also there are two entries for the game (different code, but both papersleave CD's with all the info identica - except that they have 155 of one and 132 of the other same thing).

Not to mention they have THIS among their price reducted offers (but they seem to be out of stock):
Full Throttle II - Lucas Arts - TBA

Off topic but not to forget: They are happy to get a horde of visitors (potential customers) through our rule-like linking to them.

Either that, or the game was originally a bonus somwhere or added to a mag on a cover CD.
And, obviously, they shouldn't be selling that.

"CD-Access - where you can order games they didn't start making yet" LOL

Not off topic, that's why it's in Abandonia's best interest to find out if they're being honest.
