Use or Sell WoW:BC-CE?

Should I use my copy of Burning Crusade Collector's Edition or sell it? If I sell it, should I sell now or wait? I don't really know if copies of the Collector's Edition are in short supply so I'm not sure how much the price will go up over time. Are they going to make more and meet demand? Also, I'm not sure if I'm entirely comfortable selling it at a markup. During the whole PS3 and Wii release hubbub it seemed like a lot of people driving the hype were just buying to turn around and immediately resell on ebay and that kind of left a bad taste in my mouth.

I play a little, but not that much. I have one 60 Troll Shaman that took me maybe a year. If I was crazy into the game I'd use it, no question.

Help a Canadian MeFite in Paris play The Burning Crusade (Expansion to World of Warcraft)? Gang, here's the skinny: I'm travelling in Europe (Paris this week) with my Macbook, and I have WoW already installed. It's the North American version, since I'm from Canada. Back home in Canada a friend of mine has purchased a North American version of Burning Crusade for me, so I have a CD-Key to use. I want to continue playing on North American servers. (Otherwise I'd just buy EU versions of WoW and BC and start a new account.)

I'm downloading (via BitTorrent) a North American copy of BC, but the torrents I've found for that version aren't performing that well, and it could be days before I have the whole thing.

So far my on-line research seems to suggest that upgrading a US copy of Wow with an EU copy of BC isn't possible, but I don't have a definite answer on that yet. I know that it's no longer possible to play on EU realms with a US copy of WoW, so perhaps Blizzard has comprehensively separated the regions.

So, can anyone think of anything for me? US copies of BC that may be in Paris somehow, somewhere? A tourist-friendly 'net cafe that has anticipated my need? A trick for installing EU BC over US WoW? A faster/better torrent to download?

Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. My fiance is going a bit mad not being able to play, and the taunting text messages from her guild-mates aren't helping. =)
