Psyringe: Humble Bundle new system analysis HypersomniacLive: Reselling on eBay has been mentioned a lot. I wonder how many buyers on eBay didn't really know that the keys came from a Humble Bundle, even with the keys not labeled/ advertised as such.
I assume that the new system generates giftable url links that are linked to (i.e. can identify) the original owner.
I wonder if Humble Bundle can and will build legal cases now against those going on with reselling.
No one knows they're getting a humble bundle key unless they know a multi game key is from humble bundle, etc. The keys don't tend to sell very well (I monitor in my spare time) and usually get bought for the 99 cent minimum bid, making the sellers lose a cent, if they get bought at all.
A couple months back keys were moving frequently, but it's like something hit the ebayers that hey, I can get these keys on my own, and BAM it's been whittling down. I don't think any potential buyer would want to buy a URL.
