Illegal, and no selling pirated games here bro. I would expect a warning/ban and this thread is going to be locked.

actually its technically legal since the game is no longer being produced. check the dmca, im pretty sure thats the rule.
every one of my trade offers comes with respect. just take that into consideration with my most likely appealing offer. :D

They're copyrighted, so it's illegal.
