Thanks for the tip, BD!
I really am already content with using this site + friends (yeah, it helps that I'm good friends with other gamers who buy, sell, and trade games for a living), getting a heads up from a co-conspirator who manages a GS store before they go throwing away perfectly good gaming shit, and being pretty much known as the "go to guy" around here so that plenty of people think to check with/come to me when they're looking to sell their stuff before/instead of giving it away to a GS or a pawn shop.
It's almost always *easy* to give them double to triple what a store would give them, and still resell most items for double to triple what I paid...while *still* being able to undercut the store's going rates;
this fact tells a pretty sad tale of the state of our current gaming stores, does it not
Add yard sales to the mix & I've been lucky enough to have not needed to support any of the on-line middlemen to sell anything for several years now
C.A.G. can also get you pretty good results sometimes too but, I haven't done anything there for years now either...you still at all active over there Greg?
I check CAG regularly for deals, but if you mean trading then no - I stopped trading on CAG years ago. It wasn't that anyone didn't hold up their end of the trade (well, there was one guy, but he was banned and that was forever ago) but rather just the nature of trying to trade on that particular site. The whole purpose of the site is to get games as cheap as possible, so if some store had a loophole once where you could buy Smash Bros. for $5, then the person trading with you expects you to value your copy at $5.
I've also never gotten into the "community" aspect of that site, since it's pretty disjointed in that aspect and there's a lot of people coming & going all the time. So I typically only post to comment on a deal, thank someone for posting a deal I used, etc.
