Hey there, first post on these forums. Wasn't sure if this belonged in "Gaming Discussion" or "Off-Topic Discussion", but I figured it belonged here as it was about games in general.
What exactly is the best way to go about trading games online, if there really is a way to do so other than simply trusting the other person? You see, I got a Call of Duty: World at War activation code for the PC from a friend of mine online as a gift. I have confirmed it's valid, and haven't activated it yet, and the thing is, I'm not really interested in doing so. I already have the game for the Xbox 360 and I've grown tired of it to begin with. So, I'm figuring now I might be able to trade it with anyone who wants it. I've been interested in playing WoW after about a years break, yet don't own the WotLK expansion. So I figure, "Hey, why not trade my WaW activation code for a WotLK activation code? Seems pretty reasonable", since I can't exactly just go to a gamestop and get a refund for just an activation code. Not to mention the WotLK expansion goes for $25 bucks and WaW is still in the $50-$60 range.
What I'm worried about, however, is how easily I could be jipped. It's not a HUGE deal to me, as it isn't really much of a loss, but I still want to make a profit from this thing if I can. Are there communities out there for trading activation codes online, or sites designed for safely doing so? Is there any real way I could go about doing this without the high risk of "LOL Free World at War cya later n00b"?
