dougeff | 14 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Watched a woman selling some games and a console at a used book / games store...$12 she got. It was a complete CIB SNES with all the cords, 2 controllers, all the foam and booklets. Good shape. And 2 N64 games. $12. That was hard to watch.

A_Feisty_Pickle | 244 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) I frequent our local game stores all the time and it's not uncommon to see people selling loads of stuff I'd be interested in. The stores here give like 30% value. It'd be a win-win if I could get it from them for like 50% value but I don't want to be that guy (plus probably get banned from the store). There was one time the guy was going to sell his games, they told him like $60 and he was going to take it. The store required an ID to sell though and he didn't have one, so as he was leaving I met him outside and gave him the $60 the store was going to give him. Don't remember everything in the lot but Xenosaga 3 was in there which paid for the whole thing. Makes you wonder how much good stuff the stores get for pennies...

guitarzombie | 937 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Why feel bad? Ignorance is bliss. If she really wanted top dollar you go do the research. I work in a store and youd be surprise how little people take for stuff cuz either they don't know any better, or they just dont care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a3quit4s | 4,398 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) If I see this occurring I’ll look at the person who works for the store purchasing the stuff and ask if it’s ok if I make an offer, some folks don’t care and just ask me to do it outside, others will say no and I respect that. I’ve never been scolded for asking if it’s ok if I make an offer I just don’t take offense and argue if they say no. I’ve even had employees of GameStop tell me it was alright to make them an offer outside because they generally felt bad about how much the store could give. edit: since this was a game store I doubt it would have worked but hey you miss 100% of the shots you dont take. -Wayne Gretzky - Michael Scott Edited December 30, 2019 by a3quit4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougeff | 14 Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 I once sold an original Playstation for $20, but that was without the box or booklets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
