can I sell used PC games on ebay

My OH has several of the lastest PC games that he has registered and played. The usual shops wont take them and it seems a shame to throw them.

Can we sell them on ebay even if they have been used? Or is there anywhere else that takes PC games.

thanks

  • I doubt you would find any buyers, as once they have been registered, no-one else can register them to play them. It's a one time only thing.
    You would have to declare they have been registered on your listing or you will get complaints.

    Unfortunately a lot of modern pc games use online services like Steam to handle registration, this means that once a games been registered to someone's account no-one else can register it.
    If at first you don't succeed, maybe bomb disposal isn't the best career choice.
