Bought a copy of Popful Mail on Sega CD from a local shop complete in really good shape for $90. After the purchase, I was talking with the owner, who started asking questions about it since it had been sitting in his shop for quite some time, didn't really know what it goes for now. He looked on ebay and gave me a dirty look. He said that since I've been shopping there for years that he didn't hate me, that much. lol

f*ck him. You paid what he asked. He shouldnt act like you screwed him or anything. Then he spins it like he did you a favor for being loyal?  f*ck him.

Honestly, yeah the guy is kind of a f*ckhead, but there are other shops around me that would just look up the game before I buy it and adjust "accordingly," so it's whatev. This is the same guy who let take all of the Keith and shitty sports title Turbo cases for $2 a piece, so I'll continue to stop by his business. :3

That's what my local store, Pixels and Pawns, does... for common games on the floor they sell it to you for label. Anything in the glass case... turbo, Sega CD, and nes/Genesis semi rare/rare... they look it up on price charting and Quote a price. Can you say BULLSHIT!

... they look it up on price charting and Quote a price. Can you say BULLSHIT!

If ppl stop buying the games from store that use that tactic, then that practice will stop one way or store closure. I think most stores buy a used game for $X and their biz plan is to mark up Y% and sell, they should keep to it instead of feeling they are leaving something on the table. Can't wait for the price charting sites to get massive abused, and we can rape the brink'n mortar stores that rely so heavily upon it.

Back in my day, we KNEW what things were worth! Because we played them and sold them for their WORTH, not some vaporous notion that comes from the clouds. [/oldman]

I buy nothing from that place now. Any game I want I can get from eBay at the same price or less than what pixels and pawns sells them for.
