scdkey terms of service

scdkey privacy policy

scdkey user safety

 

cdkey terms and conditions

cdkey privacy policy

cdkey FAQ

 

What deals do you actually see on either one of these sites? Everything I see is overpriced.

They both look like actual sites, not marketplaces like many others (based on pricing). SCDKey is Hong Kong company, CDKeys is in UAE. Both do give out office address and good contact details, one of the best ways to tell straight up scam site from good site.

 

Pricing isn't really that low. If you compare to less legit sites. So I would say you are good to go there.

Tech YES City actually advertised for SCDKeys recently in a video.  If the company's confident enough to publicly sponsor a YouTuber with a fair number of views, it stands to reason that they at least believe what they're doing is legit, if that helps.

G2A and Kinguin are rather notably sponsored both Twitchers and Youtubers. Many CSGO skin-scam/-gambling sites are also advertised by those. Doesn't make any company legit. it just shows how willing some people are to grab money and run. A reason why I have 0 respect for Paul from Paul's Hardware.

If you say so. I just say I don't respect someone who promotes shady sites. Idk if they paid for it or not, but that doesn't matter.

Well, I have to admit I would feel significantly better purchasing from a site like SCDKEY if I had a more concrete idea of what their business model was, i.e., how they were getting all these OEM keys cheap.

Buying in a lot or wholesale
