I know a few are unreleased, but some are.. sounds like a piracy loop hole to me.

I think you're on the mark. The "free" games are surely CD-Rs :P

Even though he is giving the game away for free, its still illegal to be distributing copyrighted material that is not original.

Also, it's against Ebay rules to include "free" stuff.

I've given free legit games as bonus for certain buyers when they use B.I.N.

However, more pitiable is the moron who'd pay for this when you can download and burn all those games for free. :P

Come on, Half-Life and Propeller Arena never had a release. You can download both of them on the internet (I did so with Half-Life, and it did came with Blue Shield). :?

I thought you could get at least 10 slimline cases for the price of that one. (All "Free" stuff aside)

Yep. That's a scam artist at work. And it looks like 2 people fell for it too. You've got to be careful when you buy stuff on Ebay.
