Whats with Ebay and new games from Singapore?

[jedidrw]

While browsing for Raven Shield and Command & Conquer: Generals, I find most of these come up with locations in Singapore or Thailand. This wouldnt bother me but even when I search under USA only theres always a couple who say in their auction that it may take 2-3 weeks and $7 to ship from Singapore. Must be dirt cheap overseas, someones making a profit.

Take a look, click one and you shouldnt have a problem finding one from Singapore or Thailand Raven Shield

Anyone else annoyed by this?

school textbooks in spore is also very cheap

I think its because spore is deemed to be a third world country, similar to it surrounding countries. So publishers sell their books cheaply there, I also imagine the same for games.

I thought all those were pirated. I heard you can buy reprints of $200 textbooks for $10 from India.

Wouldnt say its cheaper. 2-3 weeks of you time, more expensive shipping, no retail box...Is there any way to always have my searchs not come up with foreign countries?
