I can't trust any game stores anymore.

Because of a certain incident this afternoon, I don't think I can trust any more game stores that buy your shit for cash. Not even the non-franchise owned ones. I got crapped on over a deal today when I went to sell my old ps2 with all [i][b]26[/b][/i] of my games. (Memorize that number) I did some research on what games I had that were rare. Like I'm talking about the .hack G.U. series. VERY rare stuff for 80-90$ each. I went to the store that got recommended to me by my friend, and I took a look inside to see plenty of happy faces. I walk up to the counter, place my stuff on there and tell them I want to sell all of it. I give them a few minutes to look at it and come up with a good round number. What did they say? [i][b][u]10 GODDAMN DOLLARS.[/u][/b][/i] Because apparently there was an issue with the disc tray for my ps2, nothing major at all, just that the cover of the tray needed to be tapped to make it open up faster. They wouldn't take the system in. But they'd take all my games and the controllers for just 10$. "Shocked" is an understatement. "Furious rage of the gods" is about as close as it gets. I told them "you realize which games I've got...right?" They knew. But they stood by thier offer. I'm thinking either this guy is clueless about games are or he just doesn't care and wants to play me for a sucker. I told them to give me my stuff back, that this was bullshit and that they missed a good opportunity. I'm thinking I'd have better luck on Kijiji or Craigslist, cause those asshats don't know value when they see it.

  • As a general rule, you will always have better luck selling rare and retro games and systems online rather than second hand stores who's employees are likely clueless when it comes to game values. Even if it's a gaming-centric store with knowledgeable staff, they will always offer less to maximize profit. EBay and Craigslist are pretty good, but it requires more time and effort as well as doing some homework first so you can get it done right.
