/vr/ - Retro Games

This modern crusade against "resellers" baffles me.

Are people not allowed to sell games on the second hand market? Who is not a reseller other than the original licensed vendors?

I drop by my local thrift stores each week and check to see what has come in. Every once in a while I will luck out and grab a couple of PlayStation games, or perhaps a Gameboy Color.

Once, I was fortunate enough to purchase an entire Gamecube+accessories for $5. Now, I already have a Gamecube, so what am I to do with this one?

Was I supposed to just leave it there for the "next guy"?

To hell with that. I'm not going to throw away an opportunity for fair profit. A Gamecube is worth more than five bucks, and it took less than 3 hours to call up a younger friend and sell it to him for $20.

If that makes me a filthy reseller then all I can say is fuck you.

If a guy wants to make his living looking for these kind of deals, then I wish him luck.
