Even actual toy stores do this shit. There's a big toy store chain in my country, and the one nearest to me is (somehow) still selling 3DS games. They've been marked as being on 'clearance' for I think almost a year and they all cost exactly the same as they did when they came out. Included are such rare gems as Dillon's Rolling Western ($40) and one of the Yo-Kai Watch games ($40) and a Kirby game ($40).

I mean not retro and I don't even want these games but I thought businesses wanted to get rid of their stuff instead of keeping obsolete garbage on display indefinitely.

Not sure about a store, but I really think some of these sellers attach a lot of emotion to their sales, buyer/seller relationships, and how selling price reflects on them as a crafty salesman. They're perhaps afraid of a potential buyer pulling one over on them (or generally being perceived by the buyer as having coming out on the losing end of a deal), thinking that a buyer who gets a good price doesn't think "yay I got a good price on this" but rather "haha i sure fucked that stupid seller." In fairness, the way the market is filled with flippers and resellers breeds this sort of feeling, because when you cut a deal with somebody you aren't necessarily selling it to someone who will enjoy the item for what it is, but rather to someone who views it as a way to scrape up a few bucks profit.

What a fucking retard. If he wont plug it up or otherwise prove that it works, any reasonable person would consider it an AS-IS listing and would treat it as such. If im selling something like that, I want to show that it works because i do want to get as much as I can for it. The fact that he wont is a little suspect.

I see this all the time though. People think there shit is worth way more then it actually is.

This guy could've actually made money if he wasn't so persistent. Even if he'd manage to sell it for the price he's always asked you can't possibly say it was a good choice to resell a particular game for a higher value especially when you include factors like inflation and other costs for resellers. Oh well, gotta dream you'll ever become a billionaire from old nintendo games amirite?

You honestly don't even know the half of what they buy, and how much utterly useless junk there is. It basically turned into a hoarding addiction. Even their own house is full with this shit. I think one of the most ridiculous things I saw were Garfield shampoo bottles. But then you have old flip phones and shit, and things that simply aren't worth buying due to the resale value.

If you can get it cheaper somewhere else, then buy it somewhere else. My prices are already super reasonable.

Selling is it's own plague, especially if you're actually interested in moving product and not taking an absolute bath on it.

Also you idiots should just learn to avoid grossly overpriced shit. That guy with the N64 story is retarded, did you think he was actually going to drop his asking price 120 bucks just because you asked him to?

That doesn't really change my point, if anything it's even more stupid to list it at the same price in the hope someone might eventually buy it. Disregarding the amount of money he paid for it it's simply insane to consider old retro games as some investment, especially for loose carts of games that have sold millions. MILLIONS, anon! Turtles in Time isn't exactly some sort of rare game or a 'hidden gem' that has sold 'only 100k'. Again, we're not talking about something like Stadium Events here.

A lot of stuff on that top shelf is actually my grandparents, the Disney sets (the blue cardboard boxes) in particular, because he used to have a display for it all in their old house. The same goes for Santa and Mrs. Claus on the left.

Doubly so if the same shit is sitting on the shelf for years. The space that crap is taking up could be used to display some cover art, a new product, literally anything else. At some point you have to cover your losses or you’re going to lose all this shit in a fire sale anyway.

3. If you fucking fine and fucking jail the people who hire illegals they will stop hiring illegals and then illegals wont come here because there will be no fucking jobs for them.

I used to help her list things, and I even helped her clean up her rancid house that smells like a mixture of cigarette smoke and cat urine when my cousin was being threatened by child services when they were about to take her baby away from her for being an awful mother. I, my mother, and my 80+ year old grandpa had to help them clean up their house. Her daughter got to keep her kid, but now that place is back to looking like a bomb blew up in it. My aunt is also the one that takes care of her daughter's son, while leeching off my grandparents as much as possible by getting their vehicles and having them pay for their phone bills. Her husband keeps buying more and more stuff faster than she's able to list it, and it's become a massive issue within our family that even our grandparents house has become messy with it.

My ads are always listed with the meeting place, the fact I cannot deliver or drive anywhere because all I have are bicycles and my motorcycle.
In Manitoba Almost every person who contacted me would meet and follow through or give a respectful offer that I would almost always accept.
In Alberta 1/5 people would randomly stop responding or block me after a few days of them not responding when I'd ask if they were still interested. Mostly good tho.
In Ontario 7/10 people who message asking if the bicycle is still available never respond after I say it is. When I ask if they are still interested they always block me or ignore me.

That's actually organised and relatively clean. I would call cops on you for stealing.

This is HOARDING.

Hey dudes, went to my local arcade repair shop (2hrs drive) and i see this weirdo looking 80s cab out the back off the showroom, and old mate wants $250 for it as it needs work. We agreed on $500 as he will replace the stuffed monitor and fix a few other minor things. He also said he could chuck in a original golden axe pcb for $300 as he believes they are worth around the $400 mark which a quick ebay search confirms (in australia at least). The advantage of using the pcb is it wont have to be rewired to jamma. So thats how a $250 cab turns into a $800 one. Should I go original or go jamma?

I mean, he is a thief. If you take shit from people without asking, you're stealing. I don't particularly care that anon is a thief, nor am I saying there aren't justifiable situations to steal (i.e. starving and need food).
