Its all in who you know....

Post by kingdomheights777 »

I made friends with the manager at my local gamestop (he hates his job with passion) and I asked him to please call me anytime if anyone brings in any old school stuff trying to trade it in that of course they can't take in. I will then tell him what I would give that person for certain items (low balling of course :wink: ) and they have taken the price everytime. He will pay for it for me and then I go and pick it up the next day and pay him back... he has called me 3 times this week, here is the loot:

1 Sega dreamcast complete with 2 controllers $4
1 Virtual boy Complete with tennis, and Festers funky bowling -$5
1 Sega genesis III complete with 11 games $8
Clayfighter CIB
Space Harrier 2 CIB
Sonic 3 CIB
Fantasia CIB
Toy Story CIB
Maximum Carnage CIB
ECCO CIB
Alladin CIB
Strider CIB
Splatterhouse 2 & 3 CIB

I'm certainly feeling rather green myself, and not in the environmentally friendly way.

Jesus! How desperate must that guy have been to sell off all that for just $8 measley bucks?! Thats not a bad collection of games either, if he'd put it on an auction site he could've got quite a bit more.

Anyways, congrats on your awesome haul :D

I know!! People that trade in old stuff totally forget about Amazon and ebay lol. It never hurts to offer a lower price, cause all they can say is no, so you just offer a little more :wink:
