And that what he is doing is against ebay rules. His responsibility for doing proper research and putting up an accurate listing with all related costs. and "very good" condition was kind to say the least when I got it today after work. Joker is asking me for more money for shipping since it was more expensive than he thought. Well, it still hadn't gotten here (9 business days) and I scroll back through emails and realize I missed one from the guy who sold it. 6 business days for delivery but no problem since I was out of town over the weekend anyways. No kids or pets so if the condition is viable when I get it then it will be the same 10 years from now. So, I got my battle chest today, but it was the stupidest thing.I searched around on ebay after seeing new ones for $23-24 and I found a used one for 12.25 plus 4.50 shipping, so that looked fine. But the idea that Blizzard would take issue with a mod increasing stash space in offline play or someone sprucing up the graphics 10 years are the game was relevant just seems silly. D2 certainly isn't Abandonware (though I would argue that Diablo 1 is, as you can't get it anywhere that isn't used), the Battlechest is still a fairly good seller even after all these years. Now is this technically "legal"? Not at all, but no one seems to care, since the idea that anyone could make money on them at this point (or indeed, even WHO would get the money) hasn't been a realistic notion for decades. If they aren't available for commercial purpose, they are downloadable for free. If they are sold by GOG, they provide a link for you to buy them. There are multiple sites that allow for the continued preservation and experience of the DOS-era of video games. It's such a grey area when dealing with these old games, not even Diablo 2 or the Infinity Engine specifically, but those considered "Abandonware".
