Unable to purchase a bundle for myself because I already own one of the items

I'm guessing this issue has come up for others as well, but I can't find help with it.

I plan to buy the "Get Some" bundle, but I can't purchase it for myself because it's only available to people who doesn't own any of the items in the game. A little over a year ago, I bought Pain Train which happens to be in that bundle, and I've idled in the game for over an hour. I'm guessing I can't refund the game anymore at this point. Is there anything I can do to get this bundle? I'd pay $9.89 for it, but I can't only because I bought one of the games last year.

I'm not personally aware of a way if it's not just doing it and either skipping the copy of the title you already have or giving you an extra copy. It's supposed to just work if you choose to buy bundles you already have a game or 2 of.

This sounds like something you need to contact support to address. Choose something in the menu's that reaches the point where you can type a message that produces a human response and ask about it. It might be the way the person who made the bundle set it up that they can fix. Surely they'll come up with some way that allows you to purchase the games you don't have, at the sale price.

I read a while ago about bundles that said if you have one of the games in the bundle it should still allow you to buy it, you just won't get the game you already have. I looked for an article to link about it but wasn't able to find one quick.

Those are Packages, not Bundles.

Packages are 1 set price. They can be gifted.
Bundles will change price depending on what parts you own, but can't be gifted.

Borderlands 2 has examples of both Packages and Bundles.

Thanks for explaining.

I do not know how this worked but I just added the item I already owned to my cart and then removed it and was able to purchase the bundle. I was having trouble with The Borderlands Bundle. I hope this helps.

This thread is well over a year old, and I have since solved the issue by refunding the game I owned. Your post does not help at all.
