Title: Buying Dead Island
Post by: Faraday on November 27, 2011, 08:38:05 PM: Does any US citizen want to buy Dead Island on Steam (steam gift) for me?

Dead Island will cost me 34 euro's, but in the US it's 26.79$.
I'm willing to pay 27$ on paypal for the one who gets me the Dead Island steam gift!

when a game is 50 euro here in NL and in US like 50 USD it would make about 10 euro difference for us. (50 U.S. dollars = 37.5742091 Euros)

Usually you will have to apply 3,9 % taxes and about 0.30 usd paypal transfer fee.

26,79 : 100 x 3,9 = 1,04481 + 0,30 + 26,79 = 28,14 USD (rounded off) that you will have to pay. If someone that comes from the US bought it for you on steam as a gift.

28,14 U.S. dollars = 21,15 Euros

Anyway my advice.. you should have bought it yesterday as it was on sale then. The sale is now over on Dead island and its been put back up to 33 % instead of 75 % off (or was it 50% ?).

Second advice would be to wait till Christmas sales.

-> Send US friend 20 bucks (with paypal fee), he buys game as steam gift at 20$, he sends me the gift, done.

Yes I know it was on sale, that's why I wanted someone to buy it for me. In Belgium it was on sale for 34 euro's or something like it. In the US it was for sale at 26.79$.
That means it would cost only 20â‚¬ for me, if I bought it through someone from the USA. I call that a huge profit. That's why I made the post, asking if someone wanted to buy it for me, because of the sale.

Now it's back to 50â‚¬, so I'll have to wait until christmas sale, indeed. Or I might get it through other forums.. I thought this would be easier..

Post by: Faraday on November 30, 2011, 04:24:28 PM: I would only buy from people I trust, since I don't have any experience with any Mr. Bungle, I wouldn't have used your services. Thanks for the offer though.

Gonna lock the topic now, since the sale is over and the game is back to 50 fucking euro's.

Bought Dead Island from a guy I know for 10$. It's a Steam Key, which you can add to your games and it insta-downloads!

He has now a limited offer of 9$ for anyone who buys it within 30 minutes! :)

It's good, but it's no Kinect Adventures.
