Looking for a place to pick up some used PC games.

Does anybody know a good place to find them online?

I have tried Ebay, but there selection seems very small... maybe I am searching in the wrong cateorgy, but I couldn't even find a copy of Freelancer or Ghost Recon Gold on Ebay.

Maybe the used market for PC games is not as strong as with console games?

I know some of you may frown of the second-hand market..... but there are SO many games I just can't afford atm and I want to play them SO bad.

Plus... buying used games allows those people that bought the games brand new to go out and buy more brand new games. :)

Another good source I've used for the last few years is Amazon:

Buying used, sight unseen can be risky, my history w/these guys has been good.

Thanks E.T. :)

Yeah... for some reason I am more nervous buying software online than I am buying used PS2 games.

I have bought from Amazon.com before, but only books....

I was really happy with them though. Perhaps I will check out their software.
