Everquest Online Adventures -- how do I get rid of it?

[seanw]

I picked this up for $2 at TRU yesterday, thinking it would be a good cheap game to throw in with another to take advantage of a trade-x-games-get-$10-bonus deal. I opened it because used places tend to prefer you give them open games. What I didn't realize was that the game is marked Not for Resale, and that most places won't take it because it contains a unique registration code, and the premise with used games is that of course that code has already been used because the game is used.

This isn't the case, obviously, but I still can't sell it, and it furthermore occurs to me that it might even be outdated -- as in, maybe the Everquest servers don't even recognize this older game as a launching point for the ongoing MMPORG. (Everquest Online Adventures: Frontiers has since come out.) I don't mind losing the $2 I spent on the game, but I'd be curious to know whether the thing has any value whatsoever.

I've bought mine last month at EB for $1 'new'. And when I say 'new' I mean 'new' in EB's definition, fingerprints and all. I tried to use it during that trade in 3 get an extra $10 sale. They took everything except that game too. I tried FYE, only .01, I tried local stores that sold used games and none would take it, even the ones that had a couple of them in stock.

I will totally give it away of CAG or trade it for something of similar low cost, but I don't even know if anyone wants it, or if Everquest is "beyond" this game.

I'll take the registration code if you're not going to use it

Take a look at my list, I'll take it.

It still works with the game. I was using a regular copy until a week or so ago when my copy of Frontiers came in. Any character models not on the original appear as giant question marks though.

It won't fetch too much at market but check out some eqa forums. People looking to dual box will make an okay offer.

I got stuck with ont of these too... Notever FYE would take it... Anyone want mine too? I don't have a list, but I know I want Wild Arms III.

If EB won't take it, then why have they had it listed as "used" on their site?

HA! And I thought I was the only one...
I have a sealed copy that I picked up at Target well over a year ago for $5. Anyone wanna trade?

You have uncovered a paradox, the galaxy will now implode!
