If you were trading in, say a Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! You might get the full $20 if you bought some stuff that's been setting on the shelf for a while. --- End quote --- I have not experienced this anywhere in the states of Arizona, California, Nevada, Montana, or New York.... Given I live in Arizona so that is the market I am most informed about and only trade in other states when I visit family, so it those times are few and far between.... I can't imagine this being profitable enough even for junker carts unless they are originally purchased at very low prices.... I would presume that having that much fluctuation on buying would lead to losing track of what has been spent quite easily.... --- End quote --- I use MTPO as an example because I've experienced that first hand. My local store will give me $20 credit for every one I find. He can't keep them in stock. Paying full price is better to him than turning a customer away. --- End quote --- That is literally unheard of out here.... Curiously, where are you from~? Is this a practice that is wide spread in your area~? |

Arkansas. I only frequent one locally owned game store, so that's all I can testify to. I can see how it would help both parties out though. The store moves the stuff no one has heard of and always has the sought after stuff in stock. |
