Bought a game; CD key already used - Games

My dad bought me a used copy of MW2 a while ago and I recently got it in the mail. He bought it from Ebay though and I guess the fucktard who last had it didn't know that the CD Key can only be activated once. Steam says they can reset the activation key if I have the receipt of purchase which, of course, I don't. Is there any other way I can get a CD key or should I just trash the useless disk now?

If you paid by Paypal on Ebay, file a dispute, and do it quickly otherwise it may be declined and you won't get your money back.

You have 45 days since the purchase to open a dispute.

Lesson to be learned: When buying games that need activated online (Steam, GFWL) never buy from eBay and always make sure to buy New.

Yeah I sure learned my lesson pal. Never let my dad buy games for me before consulting me. :downs:
