Don’t know what it’s like in the USA but in the UK we don’t really have much toy shops other then Smyths, with Toys R Us gone I’m glad kids this generation can go to a store like Ricks and see the toys and games there parents might of played back in the day and have the chance to purchase them for themselves. Knowing kids nowadays will never experience the excitement of a Toys R Us is heartbreaking

Man, I wish stores around here had people like you.. Fair deals. Go in with $500 sold listing price, they offer $100 because they gotta make money.. I dont bother taking anything in anymore. I would rather take more time and sell items one at a time..

[@expensivecardboard]

In my city we have two game stores. One that gives reasonable prices. They typically do 40%-60% of value based on price and how fast they sell. They are transparent with their business which is nice. The other store literally opposite. I've witnessed them buying a game for $5 that sells for $70. I told the lady that games goes for a lot more money. The game store then said we will pay $10. She ended up getting $20+ for it. She was fine with that price and thanks me. I initially went there to sell off my game collection at the time and once I saw their business moto I literally turned around and walked out the door. That later that week found the other store I mentioned earlier.
