That point is disputable. Basically, at some point in the past one of us started using Amazon as a valid source for availablility checks. No way to determine who or when, but it did happen.
The admins had a discussion about disregarding Amazon Marketplace as a valid source a few months back. One was for, one was against and the third abstained.

But will you count eBay as well then? Because most of the Amazon sellers have an eBay store as well - they're not selling new items really and none or few of them are actual proper stores. It's really a bit confusing.

Also, watch out with some stores selling old games: some sell represses which are of dire quality. I have 3 such games which are useless since they're bootleg prints without manual. I discovered that they were fakes because one CD had a virus from 1998 on it when the game was released in 1996. Dubious eh? The second had a corrupted data file and the third had files dating to 2003. Really sucks because I collect originals, not useless reprints. :notrust:

We're not going to count eBay under any circumstances. While Amazon has some semblance of stability, the eBay is in a constant flux with no single link to a source being viable in long-term.
