Yeah some people I know just buy at a discount and then resell on other websites where the key for that specific game is selling for the full price (they sell it at a lower price than the full price, but still more than what they paid for).

From what I've heard the people selling the keys have a variety of methods to acquiring the actual game keys for really cheap:
- Buy keys in bundles at a heavily discounted price and sell individually
- Buy games with stolen credit cards (self explanitory)
- Buy keys when they're on sale from the supplier (like Steam sales)
All of these methods can also get a slightly higher profit margin due to cashback, buying with X payment method, buying discounted gift cards.
From my understanding though; you don't make a lot from each game. 1$ or so - which means you need to sell a ton of games to make some real money.
What about instead making a price comparison site and making it high authority? Then using these other game key sites affiliate programs - I know G2A for example has a really profitable affiliate program.

While this is a brilliant idea... It already exists:
A) allkeyshop.com
B) isthereanydeal.com

Ahh, well... That doesn't mean you can't steal some of their traffic though?

Why not make it better? Shit, those two websites look like crap on mobile, it don't matter how reliable they can be if you manage to make the experience better, seamless and FREE, it's all about HOW you're marketing your product.

It's doable... But that doesn't mean it will be succesful.
Just as @Desert90 says, it's a business with huge hands behind it.
Maybe we could join and make a BHW-force team beat them (but that doesn't depend on a single individual).
Or it does?
Surprise me.
