Where to buy BF2 standalone for cheap?

I don't want to shell out >$20 for Complete Collection on Steam and I am averse to Origin. Are there any online retailers who will sell BF2 standalone to a Canadian for <=$10?

*hint*
Since the EA auth servers were shut down there is nothing that checks the validity of your product key

amazon.ca is minimum $20 for standalone, not even complete collection. amazon.com is out of the question due to shipping and regional restrictions on downloads.

Disclaimer:
We are in no way implying you should download an illegal pirate copy of Battlefield 2 from handy websites like xxxxx, using a dandy software named uTorrent, instead of buying a 9 year old game with dead servers just to play a mod that will probably be dead in a few years (I'm sorry guys, but cmon, who'll still be playing PR when we get VR games? Uh?).
These fine gentlemen are just making it known to you, an interested person who obviously does not know about said fact, that the PRMasterServer can in no way validate your product key. And because GameSpy services are down, there is NOTHING in the game that will do so. These are known facts to the public, make of it whatever you want, we will not confirm, or deny, any assumptions that you make with this information.
Have a good day.

Everything you say is likely true. But like like a woman - let's leave a little mystery.....

Someone sent me a link, but it's not working *see
here*. I need to verify whether this is an image problem or InstallShield problem. If anyone can PM me something different, that'd be great.

There is no problem with the image, it has been tested and confirmed to work just fine

Man I literally just Bought BF2 on steam last night..
Saying that I'm happy with the purchase. I lost the disc to that game years ago so it's nice to have it on steam.
I will, however, let my big brother know about this as it may finally entice him to jump on with me the tight git.

Here in Finland you can still find BF2-dvd (original vanilla) from some shops. Normally cost like 1-2 euros.
You should check out your local department store, supermarket etc.
p.s. i really like these kinds of shops. You can find really cheap games. This year I have bought like 7 games with 12 euros and the games are from 2010-2013.
p.p.s. is this a forum error or what: text shows (?) question mark instead a euro sign.
