(Deleted. Sorry that I did not filter my games.)

It is surprising to learn that even those bundle games, currently available at 6 games for $1, have over 1000 bidders. According to the mechanism of SG, it means that those 1000 bidders do not have those games and would rather try their luck here than spending just one buck to buy it directly.

Things become even more ridiculous when bundle game givers, who actually spend at least $0.16 for each bundle game given away, are constantly humiliated here when they ask why their CV does not add up, considering that a cent is a cent but CV is nothing more than a number.

You don NOT need a credit card to use Paypal. You can transfer money to your PP account through post office. I do that all the time. They just prefer you to use credit card. Doesn't mean there are no other ways to transfer your money to your PP account. Although if you do it you have to do it carefully because one slip of a letter and money won't get there and you'll have to wait one month for a refund from the post office. It's possible though to use Paypal without having credit card or even bank account.

whats the matter with the CC?you can ask your father or mother give your her/his CC,or make new one in which only you can charge in (again ofc its registered on the name of the parent,just its that only you use it),in my case I'm 15 years old and CC which primarily only I use is registered on my parents name,but unfortunately for the CC no one can keep on track who is using it,all my parents need to do is just charge it when its needed(ofc with my money -.-) and then I use the CC for shopping online

First of all, not all parents use CC. Second of all, my parents don't use them, and they don't want me to use them either. Third of all, because you get the ability to use it, you can't tell others it's easy... No, it's not easy. You are just one of the lucky ones.

I mean you know that's all [a LOT of] people will be giving away during a bundle. You're gonna have more points than you know what to do with so it's practically a guaranteed win.

That and what nhom said. Some people just don't have the means to buy bundles, some might not even have the money. Perhaps they're just not interested enough to buy them but would be willing to try them out for free.

Your minor mistakes in English were not funny, but Uroboros' botched translation definitely was. I think you misinterpreted what was said.

But whatever gave you the idea that we speak only our native language? For myself, I am fluent in two languages and have studied three more well enough to hold a conversation. There are also four other languages I am a bit familiar with to the point where I can (almost) follow a conversation. If I bothered to study, I could easily speak all nine, but writing some of them, like Mandarin, would be a different matter.

In any case, I will admit that most Americans only speak two languages. We are behind the Europeans when it comes to this matter.

No need for paypal with google wallet which is avaiable on HiB to use. It's like paying with your debet/credit card - anyone with a bank account and a card can use it - lol it's that simple.

Problem is that we have 10000 bundle games on SG, which according to sharing licenses from HiB are 1 person (a buyer) only - not that i care but i think it's what OP meant and he's little right.

Including the booster pack, it should be 8 cards in total. We are talking about $1 here, which should be a fair deal, considering that the difference between BTA and non BTA is around 3.80. In other words, each BTA game is worth around 1.90.
