GameStop to buy and sell retro games and consoles

They are way to late to the party, I don't think they get the concept that Retro Collectors are in complete opposition of their business model, buying games for pennies and marking them up 300%+

We are long past the point of people having stacks of these laying around with absolutely no idea of their worth and selling to some reseller who takes advantage of situation. This will lead to nothing but Gamestop offering pennies for expensive titles and trying to jack them up to eBay prices and in return the consumer will be smart enough to sell them themselves and leave them with all the unwanted common sports titles.

It's a good idea it keeps the games & consoles in circulation instead of the dump

I agree the pennies on the dollar model will fail.... maybe they can become a brick n mortar eBay by instituting a consignment area, or even an online model that will give free delivery to another store via their transport system... that would give them maybe 20% of the sale without investing a penny

post pic on website, then when bought deliver machine to nearest store that will test to see it works and then send out on next empty delivery truck which transfers to buyers nearest store
