    Would anyone like to share the cost of a Left 4 Dead 2 4 pack and divide the games amongst ourselves? This way we can save over $10 each.
    I just saw that other borderlands thread and was wondering if anybody is willing. I dont have any money on my paypal atm, and it takes a while to transfer. But if youre interested somebody can take the reins and buy the pack and so 2 other players can be found.

    hmm... i'm not opposed to this.

    the only problem is the tax where i live. i'd need 3 guys to put in $40 each to cover tax. that would still be double the discount from just buying it flat out, (actually a little better than double, because again, tax would bring the $45 preorder to $50 total)

    nevertheless, someone else could possibly get it cheaper.

    edit: i'm going to go ahead and make a new thread for this.

    IIRC, steam charged me tax last time i made a purchase. I'm nearly certain of this. Let me know if I missed something.

    I don't mean exchange rate, I meant government issued sales tax.

    free to pay, not to get paid. You will have a fee on most situations.

    Plus your "selling" a game so this thread and all the others like it belong in the buy/sell/trade forum section with the proper layout.

    When I sold my 4 pack I had a fee on the transactions 2 out of 3 of them, one person must have just had a personal account and sent me the money in a way to not get a fee or they choose the option to pay the fee themselves.

    After fee $35 works out to be just about perfect, its about $0.07 short of covering the whole charge.
