What are you looking to get out of it? Could be worth the drive, if the price is nice.

If the whole thing is legit, it would take a fairly wealthy person to offer nearly double the asking price on each game, just to secure them. What I wouldn't give to have myself a vault of that sweet, sweet f**k you money.
