RE: A New Bunch of Games Photographed

in Hive Gaming4 months ago

When I first started selling games, I was starting to get nervous because I was afraid nobody was going to buy any of them; luckily, that wasn't the case, and they've sold fairly well.

Many people have a lot of pleasant childhood memories with these video games. They buy it because of nostalgia, or they simply collect them.

There are also people, who have not played them so far, and they would simply like to have the original physical copy of the game either to play, or simply to also collect them.

And there are those, who buy them as investments.

Especially the unboxed versions. Those generally are more valuable (or at least this is how many people see it), and their value is only increasing with time.

The same is the case with many hardware components too. For example PC GPUs (video cards).

And of course some of the collectors maybe are also collecting them as investments, but not necessarily.

There are many kinds of buyers.

Absolutely right, there are many different types of buyers out there. Some people just want to have a kickass game collection, especially if they're a bit older and have some space like a mancave, or office.

I know plenty of people who sold their games, and consoles to pawn shops back in the day, as the newer consoles came out and the older ones had been gathering dust, now though, many people want to go back and replay some of those older titles.

I just put everything up for as fair a price as I can, and slightly less than what the games are selling for and leave them. I've had games sitting there for 2 months with barely any views even, then I wake up one morning to see they sold. It just depends on when someone out there wants it and starts searching for it.
