Ok, apart from the fact that their prices are CrAzY astronomical...

Does anyone find it slightly suspicious that they seem to have a brand new sealed game for almost every pre-owned game they're selling?
Something reeks here.

On what you can let one go!

Yeah, I'll take that CGII for $975.20!
Probably belongs in the gouging thread though.

Well the first thing that pops into my mind is that they're re-packing games. I mean it's pretty odd to have say 60 pre-owned games AND to have 50 of them available as brand new.
Mind you, they do the same with consoles too, and that's just bizarre.
*edit* although, if you're chanrging $1000 for a console you could probably actually forge a box and still make a killing.

The games aren't too suspicious, as there's always a handful of new titles available on eBay, so it wouldn't take too terribly long to amass a pile to sell. The consoles on the other hand...

Well the only thing of I can think of is that they list non-existent 'new' games for a ridiculous price so the pre-owned copy they list looks a lot cheaper by comparison. Notice they don't have a 'new' Drac X on there as someone would probably be willing to pay some insane price for a sealed copy that they wouldn't be able to get their hands on. (I could get you a sealed copy of Dracula X for $375 plus shipping if you are interested by the way :mrgreen:)

I'd really like for RegalSin to weigh in on this...

I am not going to rain on anybodys parade. I can see at least two games I would pick up right now, just for collecting purposes. But I already own those games and I have no money.
