Best Buy testing out used game market.

Never had a problems with reserves at Gamestop, and only knew one guy who did, once. Your Gamestops must suck.

Man, if Best Buy starts taking trade-ins, that would be all kinds of awesome.

I'd love it. It would force some nice competition for used games. Things like, oh... only selling things in decent shape would be nice to have across the board.

Don't say that! As long as EB is still around, you can get great deals that you don't see anyplace else. I was able to grab breakdown for $9.99 there.

If you want a game that's not a major release, just shop online. If you can't wait three days for the shipped game to arrive, then you should pick up another hobby. I personally think EB is great as long as I never enter one of their B&M stores ever again.

And it helps keep games sitting on the shelf at Best Buy and Circuit City, where the real nice clearance sales come from.

This should be pretty good... a big store like BB should be more likely to get in rares due to a higher volume of customers (and they'll get more of the kind of customers who may not know exactly what they have), and less likely to know to charge a higher rate for them, since games are only a small subsection of their business.

I'm pretty sure Best Buy will have a data base with the proper pricing. It's not like they'll leave it in the hands of the locals. They'll probably use Gamestops pricing, as a comparison to how they'll price it.


I remember one time I decided to take my Sega CD games to a pawn shop, because Funcoland wasn't paying squat for the games. The guy at the pawn shop pulls out a Funcoland price sheet(remember those?) and pays me according to what Funco would pay. I didn't fare any better. :doubt:

Or maybe you live in the middle of Bumblefuck where only Ma Kettle owns a PS2 and the 'big' games only get 3 reserves.
