    Sims 3 Origin Codes Cheap on Ebay?

    FoxyLovesKittyFoxyLovesKitty Posts: 889 Member
    in The Sims 3 General Discussion
    I was looking on ebay for Sims 3 expansion packs and I noticed that there are sellers with positive feedback who actually sell Origin key codes for Sims 3 expansion packs for around 10 dollars and under. How is it possible?... Personally, I am not interested in downloading the games via Origin. I'd like to get a physical copy. Just pure curiousity...

      I've heard that sometimes people buy a new game and find the code is already used. But otherwise I have no idea. Origin used to sell the codes like this but I've heard they don't any more.

      According to feedback the codes actually work, how strange.

      They probably do work. Maybe people bought bulk codes from Origin at some stage and are now selling them.

      The thing is I remember someone saying if you buy a new game sometimes the code is already used and the thought is these are the codes being sold.

      I've no experience of it,

      But having said that when there was a sale on Sims 3 recently at my local games store I bought some disks for the games I got digitally so I now have a few codes I don't need as I can install from disk and use my original codes,.

      Amazon sells codes for Sims3 games on Origin. Those sellers probably are getting them the same way Amazon does.

      I wonder, though, how come they sell it so cheap compared to amazon and steam.

      There was a time last year the Sims 3 base game was on sale for $4.99USD. I would guess a lot of people bought and stocked up for resale.

      I'd also ask we keep our discussions to active threads. This one's from 2015 and at this point is almost 3.5 years old.
