Where to buy The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim cheap

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim launched at $19.99 in 2011. On the canonical US/USD baseline, the lowest confirmed-unrestricted total is $7.26 at Kinguin, which is 64% off the recommended price.

On that same baseline, official stores start at $19.99, so the keyshop route saves $12.73 on this title. That saving comes with a trade-off: keyshop listings are resold keys, and a listing marked as a gift is not a standard key. The key type column above tells you which is which.
