We need to talk

[@MadnlooneyJR]

I’m not a haggling type of person so I probably fall prey to bad deals all the time, we don’t really have as many physical stores in the UK here so I just usually end up having to purchase items online. I wish people who sold online gave more photos that’s my biggest gripe. Show me case condition, disc condition etc it’s so lacking. I’ve only experienced two sales where I’m left feeling completely done over most of my experiences fortunately have been positive. But as this hobby has boomed it seems so many more problems have been introduced like pricing going through the roof much quicker it feels like. One instance was people purchased BG1&2 remasters out and made the price stay at 60. Whereas before BG3 released you could get the collectors edition for 20ish. It just puzzles me how these prices get pushed universally 😂 Sorry to hear about your experience though it sucks for sure. Congrats on 7 years as well!! Amazing job and here’s to the next 7 ✊

@MadnlooneyJR thanks. I am happy to have made it 7 years without missing a single video. Prices are getting very out of hand and the people prospecting on top of it all are getting nuts. Knew a guy online that tried to buy 10 copies of every LRG release to just sit on them for a year and sell for 5 times the msrp.

@@moandaindesigns Very bad for the market that is. As it’s already unfortunate we are twisted to buy new LRG games in a month window as we know if we don’t and end up wanting later you have to deal with these people 😬😮‍💨

Congrats on almost 7 years and I get what you're saying. While it's best to try to stay positive, sometimes those negative experiences just bubble to the surface and talking about them and sharing your woes is a part of the human condition. It's not all rainbows and butterflies all the time and I'm sorry you've had those experiences. I would especially be pissed by the strategy guide but 2nd and Charles wasting your time sucks just as much in its own specific way. Also, we definitely feel the same way about Retro GameStop. 😢

Oh, and congrats on 7 years!

[@moandaindesigns]

It went by so fast.

Congrats on almost 7 years! I saw this video and was like oh yeah it is the 15th already. lol Sharing your negative or bad experiences isn't the same as being negative. I don't think you were harping or being excessive but just stating this is what has happened to me and it stunk. Pawn shops I rarely go to these days. It just doesn't seem worth it unless I am in the area and have a lot of free time. I haven't even tried looking at Gamestop in months. The selection of physical has been lacking for years and adding retro isn't going to entice me in. I'd much rather go to my local retro shop.

@Owazrim thanks. I can't believe it is already 7 years. Anytime a store uses ebay to price things, I cringe and usually don't buy anything.

A KZbin veteran through and through! Congrats on 7 years dude. Sometimes no matter how positive you try to be life has a way of bringing the negative out on a lot of days. I remember you telling us about the pawn shop dollar bin. What a douche! Why have a dollar bin. Screw that! I would never give him a dime of business and he would get a bad yelp review too…🤬 GameStop retro is a joke…I actually have a small experience recently with them and it pissed me off too. They are too corporate to make it work well. And I can already see it failing big time.

[@moandaindesigns]

@DrinkGameswithJosh thanks for watching. Yea the dollar bin story stung a little, and gamestop retro is just about the greed.

F@ck that pawn shop, I wouldn’t ever go back. These businesses need to learn that poor business practices lose customers. These days money is tight so I’m only spending it at places that treat there customers right.

[@moandaindesigns]

Treat your customers right, or someone else will.

[@RNGGamerYT]

I can't believe that guy in the pawn shop... what a jerk

[@moandaindesigns]

Ebay prices strike again.
