Just so there is no misunderstanding

No one here is going to give you a CD key.

As long as that is settled - other than taking it up with the store - I 
don't know what you could do.

It should actually be on the *back* of the cd case, but if that's not
original, then try looking underneath the EB Games used one, they may
have left the original underneath. If not, then I'd go back to the
store and try to get a refund. $20 Best Buy Battle Chest route is a
good deal; you get the original, expansion set, two strategy books
(which are, admittedly, pretty useless after you beat the single
player campaigns), and an actual CD Key :P

You're not going to be able to get a valid key out of anyone here, and
assuming you want to play multiplayer on battle.net, you're going to
have to get an actual legit key from a source other than the internet
(i.e. a friend who no longer plays the game or a store bought copy).
If all you want is single player, lots of random number strings will
let it install, but not work on battle.net. (i.e., I think
1234567890123 works...)

EB Games really should not be selling used games like that, since it's
easy to keep a copy of the disk and cd-key then just sell the physical
disk/box back and keep on playing... or keep the little cd case insert
with the cd-key on it and never have to worry about anyone else using
their cd key.

Anywho, hope you are able to work this out.
Good luck. :)

Yeah, take it back to the store. 

Normally The CD-key should be on the backside of the jewel case, at
least that's the case with the original release version.
