A Set Of Choices
I just found a brand-new still-sealed copy of the Orange Box in a charity shop, priced at £3. Naturally, I snapped it up - it's over £22 at play.com.
But... should I have told the shop how underpriced the item was?
Or... I actually only want Half-Life Ep 2, which is $15 to download. I could give away the other games in the box under Steam's gifting scheme (if it's still active). For example, I could bribe Minor with Portal (which is an insanely brilliant little game). I could put the whole package up on eBay and maybe get £15 for it, then buy Ep2 as a download. I could salve my conscience by giving some of the money I made from the sale back to the charity.
What should I do?
