make sure you get the UPC code for the game if possible, if not, just take a digital picture of YOU holding the CD with the key clearly in view, then send that pic as an attachment to whichever game maker's customer or technical service department. Essentially, you will be registering the game under your name, and if you have any problems with other people using that CD key, they will usually remedy it ( e.g. banning the current CD key and issuing you a new one )
I had to do that when I bought a used copy of Myth: The Fallen Lords, and Everquest:Ruins of Kunark.
