A Game Store Redemption Story?

[@vincentsvaluables6756]

The fact that people care what you’re doing with an item after you buy it, especially after paying full asking price and not negotiating, is beyond me.

[@ralex3697]

Stupid policy

[@krossboe8512]

Strangest part about the old manager's policy against resellers is that they were technically a reseller themselves 🤔

[@jeremylovesretro]

I think both policies (former and present) are hypocritical. Virtually all used video game stores are resellers (buying for less than market value and selling it for more than was paid).

As a business owner, I don't care if you make a million dollars off something I sold. I priced it and was happy at the time of your purchase... My response to the question if im a reseller is always " Do you not like money?"

[@AEC17]

I’m sorry that bad experience happened to you at disc traders. That is good that they somewhat made it right. It’s a little odd that they would have special rules against other retailers. If I saw you coming into a store I owned wanting to give me money for my items, I would roll out the red carpet for you. You’re the best kind of customer. That’s good the man at the pawn shop sees that and appreciates you. He seems like a cool guy.

[@domg4538]

Those card holders are incredibly sweet and the fact that could be mounted or shelf displayed gives lots of options!

i am so sorry they did that to you, you looked so heartbroken when one of your Fav shops wouldn't sell to you. Good on you for telling the truth but that still sucks.

Imagine all the sales they don't make because of that rule, it makes no sense I assume the manager isn't the business owner (and if they are good luck!) Your pawnbroker is the best dude, i wish he was in my town

I've got about 2,500 Pokémon cards ranging from 1st generation till now if you'd be interested. They aren't mint edition but I have tried to keep most of them in the best condition I could.

[@Reegareth]

I get the logic... At the end of the day resellers do actually drive pricing of products up artifically by buying and selling stuff for the most they can. At the end of the day it is a business but I think the idea not selling to resellers too because you actaully like selling product to people who aren't actually looking to use it does seem bad. I think some people see resllers like scalpers is the only issue.

With the Pokémon packs, it's not just fakes you have to look out for, it's often resealed packs, which can be tricky as the pack itself will look fine, it's only when you open them that you see the residue and glue if they are done well. There is a lot of scummy people out there unfortunately.

[@willgibson8534]

I agree with the guy, I wouldn’t sell to a reseller either, resellers destroyed the retro market

[@fishchips1159]

My home store won't accommodate resellers if they're not regular customers. I sell in my local area and some of my inventory comes from them, they have no problem selling to me because I'm in there once a week. Gotta make connections

[@thegamedog882]

What I don’t understand is if you spent that much time in that much money at that place and they’re just now asking you if you’re a reseller? What’s up with that? Why didn’t they ask you if you were a reseller before?

[@TachibanaTengoku]

Game stores are literally resellers lmao

[@cb6832]

Finally Brother Dave has returned....

[@worpig]

I see this in two ways, one that the business owners don't want people to make money off them.. This usually allows them to not have to worry about price adjusting all the time as you said prices change so often up and down. The economics way and business sense is they aren't getting as many trade-ins as they used to, trade-ins is how these businesses function. If Mom/Dad buys a game for Junior at a game store that means in future that game will likely be traded back into that store.. if a Reseller buys it that game likely won't be back on their shelves for them to keep profiting off of. In reality they're a business, if you refuse sales then you're only shooting yourself in the foot.

[@Megasan3]

I understand how they dont want resellers, selling their stuff. but if they are selling their stuff for a flat price knowing that some of their stuff could have more value. Then they shouldn't be upset at someone coming in and buying their stuff to flip. They're still getting a sale for the prices they are wanting. So turning people away like that will sadly only hurt them more than help.

Here in Quebec Canada it's the same thing, if you intend to resell what you buy,so video game shops and collectors learn this, you will be destroyed on social networks as if you were the devil, the mentality here is not open at all to resale!

[@farmingsim9813]

Yet resale is exactly what said shops do, it's a ridiculous policy.

[@dmarq412]

Tell your video game stores that they can also list all their items on eBay and Amazon for full market value and have the co-ordination to ensure that they don't accidently sell in store, something that it's still listed on eBay or Amazon and vice versa to squeeze out an extra 10 - 20% after fees. It's ridiculous, especially when some of these tenured store owners already have established sources of inventory and could benefit from consistent buyers too.

[@Ch_ief]

I’ve seen rules like these before which makes zero sense based off of the fact that we are paying the same price as someone who would be buying it for a personal reason

[@xboxnangable]

The rule is ridiculous. They need to sell stock at the prices stated, you want to buy at those prices. It doesn't matter if you are a reseller or not, a sale is a sale. If they feel you are making too much profit they should price their games higher.

[@ShallowView]

Either way man the games were for sale and it’s a business. Why would they not want to just make the sale, make the money and move on to more inventory with the newly acquired funds. Especially with those game guides that you bought. I’m sure they say in that local store for months if not a whole year.

A lot of the disk replays, mega replay, and disk traders are starting to not allow resellers get the deals. Theirs one in Indy thats next to a walmart, I think south west they refuse to give me the promotions but allow me to buy. Overall I think its kinda messed up since they are resellers also

[@aaronbettinger6651]

its so he can keep prices low for non-resellers and so honest collectors can get games and enjoy them not at ebay prices. Would you have bought and sold the games for the same price or mark them to ebay prices/amazon changing a 9.99 game to 24.99 as an example. Not alot of people can afford to just go pay mark up prices all the time so its nice the game store stuck to its policy, gives the local community a chance to play at reasonable prices

[@Hashedup360]

The irony of the resell is they are reselling, but you can't resell to the reseller that will resell? Talk about pot calling the kettle black on that one. I hate when a business gets political, there is zero reason not to sell to a reseller, you both win from the transaction. A business should only care about their bottom line not force an opinion or care about what happens to items that leave the store.

[@Vintagetoysandcollectables]

That is shocking. What does it have to do with them after you have purchased. Also it does not matter if they sell it to reseller or a collector they are getting the same money they asked for. Even if it is resolved it still shocking that it happened in the first place

[@TimBrice7]

Just promotes dishonesty in my opinion. A store I frequent I did tell the owner that I do some reselling on the side but I also said that’s the only way I can afford to buy more from him and he totally gets it. I’m not bartering for deals or anything but he does get some inventory from me as well because I like to trade in a bunch of stuff for higher end items for my collection. it’s a really good relationship I feel. Different business models mean different margins and I respect what it takes to run a brick and mortar.

[@jimteja]

If we're being honest here, the resolution is still bullshit. A reseller is still a customer and it should make no difference what the customers' intentions of doing with the merchandise after they legally own it. If they have coupons or daily deals, then that should apply to all customers. I understand that's not a big deal to most people, but it's more about principle. There's also a legality argument here. Stores can choose to serve or refuse service to anyone they like as long as this decision isn't made in combination with other stores to eliminate competition or in an attempt to create or maintain a monopoly, which is the part that's applicable here. If they don't want people taking 10 of the same thing, then it's on them to either price their items closer to market or leave some meat so they can move more volume at lesser margins. The real reason they do this is to eliminate competition. Brick and mortar stores like this have a very hard time surviving vs online sellers with significantly less overhead, so they aim to slow down their eventual collapse in any way that they can.
