--- Quote from: soera on July 16, 2014, 11:11:09 am ---Its not much better around here. We have a couple of local chains (Vintage stock and Game Xchange) and neither of them will adjust a price for bulk. Their prices are set in their system. Most of their stock is pretty stagnant anyhow. Craigslist sucks around here too. Its almost nothing but people wanting to sell current gen junk for full blown retail prices. If you do happen to see something thats interesting, 150000 other jackasses have already seen it too and your chances of getting it is pretty much nil. I have bought 1 item from Craigslist in my entire time of collecting and it was only cause I really wanted the game that was listed ... I didnt save any money on it. --- End quote --- Sorry I was late on the Master System lot. That's the only thing I've seen that was not gone in one day |

Yeah I'm gonna have to agree there are way too many people and it's too well known to get great deals anymore on a regular basis. I started about 3 years ago and I did decent and built an average collection, but I haven't added more than a couple games at a time since about a year ago because even yard sales people look everything up before hand and want retail. Your best bet honestly is just suck it up and pay for what you really want, and then anytime you find a good deal just use whatever you found to trade with other people interested in collecting. If you hook other people up with good deals and just make friends that's the easiest way now a-days since it's more of a community and social thing in my opinion than just playing the games we find. |

Ebay sellers ask for rediculous prices.Not all but quite a bit do. --- End quote --- You can't really lump all ebay sellers into one bunch though. There are all kinds of people on there selling things for all kinds of different reasons. I always check my ebay feed at lunch time and sometimes you can find some great buy-it-now deals on lots. It's all about showing up all the time and looking, unfortunately. |

Plus I probably check it at work more than I should during the day;). I spent a lot of time in the ebay forums and they say that they switch servers around and different states get access to different items on different days, which I sort of believe from selling myself. |
