This guy got a Saturn for free.
Do you check marketplace regularly to prevent scalpers and hoarders to get their filthy hands on stuff first, right?

scalping is a made up problem, there's nothing wrong with reselling your stuff
>>
>>11106913
Thinking that you gonna sell your overpriced stuff easily is as retarded as it is buying overpriced stuff.
>>
>>11106935
if prices tank then selling them for the price you got it for to get out is dandy

>there's nothing wrong with reselling your stuff
do you even know what scalping is?
>>
>>11106912
Why does this guy talk so slowly
>>
>>11106958
It's not that slow but English used to be spoken with very exact pronunciation of every syllable... Elizabethan English would've pronounced musician as "mu-si-ci-an", modern English sped up (esp. in southern England) while the American South kept that slow drawl.

It's not really my responsibility to prevent scalpers and hoarders from snatching up retro shit.
If it's something I myself want then sure, I'll probably end up buying it if it's cheap. But I'm not going to waste my time or money buying something I already own or don't care to own just because it's a good deal.

It's made up thing, you guys are referring to resellers. Resellers strive to make a profit that is more than the cost of the good, and any costs put into it.

>This guy got a Saturn for free.
still overpriced when you factor in the travel required to pick it up
>>
>>11108387
yeah it's why goodwill doesnt sell things for $1 anymore.
>>
>>11108470
They're worth more than a dollar.

>Go to local garage sells
>Checks for video games
>"Some dude came and bought everything!"
Fuck you
This is exactly what's wrong with resellers, they purchase to resell and basically clean out everything else. It's not a you moment finding Phantasy Star for SMS, boxed, in a pawn shop by pure chance because you happened to be there that day, it's those undesirable completely cleaning out absolutely every single possible venue of video games sources so that they can sell it back to you at an increasingly insane mark up
Stumbling across anything at all is impossible because of them now. You have to have a close eye on the market, be there first, have a car, live in a convenient place for this and have a shitload of time to lose if you want to one up all these undesirables nowadays, and that's usually for scrap

more like cause goodwill is a scummy business, that only pretends to be a charity, for the tax credits
