I think I just made a couple of clerks' days...

[WarLocke]

I'm in a bit of a financial crunch at the moment, and when casting about for ways to make it through to the next paycheck, I realized that I had a whole shelf of console games that I hadn't even thought about (much less played) in the last six months or so. So I boxed up all my console games and offloaded them at a local GameStop. The look on the clerk's face when I asked if I could sell them 50+ games was pretty interesting. ;)

I ended up selling the following to the store for $243 in store credit (which magically became $201 since I wanted cash:():

In addition I sold a few games directly to the clerks (accomplished by them taking 'smoke breaks' after I had left). I sold Growlanser: Generations, Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, and Final Fantasy Tactics to one for $65, and Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 to the other for $20. I guess it's a no-no for them to buy used games from the store they work at or something, it's the only reason I could come up with for them wanting to pay more to get them from me than to buy them off the used shelf themselves.

I feel horrible for getting rid of my collection, even though I would never have finished all those games. I'm just such a packrat; I know I am but I can't stop. :wacko:

It was weird hearing them say 'Wow, all your stuff is in good condition!' though. I guess most of the games they get back are dirty, sticky and bent to hell, but I only bought games in good condition (no disc scratches, manual present and in good condition, sleeve not bent or torn - heck, I'd go buy DVD cases at CompUSA to put them in since the used cases were always gunky from the stickers the store would put on them!) - I guess I'm a bit weird like that. :blush:
