I don't know WTF is going on these days with eBay and shit, but most of us here buy these games because we want to open them up, flip through the manuals, and PLAY them. We want to access the code on these CDs and cards that it took thousands of hours of development to make.
True Dat. You are 100% right.

Re: Sealed games @whomever - I've opened 3 sealed turbo games in the last year; Kabuki Den, Final Zone II and Babel. And you know what? The PCE CD's had that "New Car Smell" when I unabashedly stripped the cellophane from them, and popped their video game cherries. I had an extra sense of satisfaction seeing the title screen, watching the imaginary "sealed" dollars falling out of my Paypal account, putting my fingerprints on the manual, knowing that the game would be PLAYED, instead of forever rotting on a collectors shelf unopened, label fading in the sun as the dream of a child (now, presumably a Japanese Businessman) is forgotten.
Although if that is your bag, cool, but I'm afraid that your sorely missing out on some great f***ing video games.
And I DROOLED at the sacrilege I was committing! Each and every time

The reason people are pissed off at you here is because you are unrepentantly whoring out something we love.
I think that this is why everyone is pissed at gouging in general. Very well put, Zeta.
