Does many of you sell/buy used games? looking at the Pasar Malam/Garage Sales etc it does seem like a lot here trade their used games. Well, if you do, why not share with all the other forum members where you buy/sell them? Could be informative for some of us rclxms.gif

and if you're feeling extra chatty today, why not share with everybody about the reason you buy/sell them? Or what you wish we would have for the used games trade? drool.gif

Vote away!

i actually tried to gauge the demand for your no. 4 option:

i would buy/sell from a specialized used game shop but well, there's really none available at the moment -.-

here: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1888956&hl=

but the demand is either not there or the market is not ready for it.

i can see that the retro gaming here in Malaysia is almost non existent. People who has older consoles hardly go back to playing them, unlike in say, the US and Japan where the retro gaming market is pretty alive and is actually the cash cow for some game retailers.

sakurazz, u help me open one? laugh.gif

most new and hot titles within weeks or a month release are not worth to buy used since the difference is very little, plus some extras like DLC usually are reedeemed by the owner...

LOL, that is my business plan right now, but i'm starting small.

my store is on facebook (basically just a picture galery) and also reflected in my [wts] ads on lowyat.

but rite now only selling stuff, not buying yet.

most people don't take good care of their stuff, so i cannot give high price to people who want to sell to me.

only japanese and american people keep their consoles in very good condition...

i did say they kept good care of their items, i didn't say they sell them at affordable prices

japan is sill the bst place to get items, especially since japan gets most if not all of the best stuff.....
