Need advice collecting

Can't believe they still exist in this day and age! What an outmoded method by which to get rid of your games. I mean, why sell a game that's worth $80 for only $35 when you've got eBay, amazon, Craig's list, etc. all a click or two away. Hard to imagine that anyone would send these guys their valuable games. Ever. ???

Ever hang out in a used game store for a while and see all the people getting rid of "old junk"? They walk out with pennies on the dollar generally. Course I shouldn't talk, once I get snow tires replaced (I drive a Pontiac G8 and live in Ohio, it's december, I'm NOT driving on summer tires!) anyways once I get snow tires on, I'm going to see how much in-store credit a show down in columbus will give me if it's in-bulk. I'm going to print out new labels for the 50+ Atari games and spruce them up, maybe even toss them into UGCs, see if I can dazzle him and get lots of in-store credit for same-day. People keep saying people who run these types of stores know what their selling and wont be tricked by shiny stuff that looks rarer than it is. I've never seen that, I paid $1.50 for my Q-berts Cubes, and see a guy selling a lose Earthbound for $350

I saw a guy the other day selling his Terminator Blu ray for a nickel at Game Dude. I felt bad for him and I honestly can't believe he went through with it.
FritzWhite:
I brought 30 nes carts into game crazy a few weeks ago and the guy wanted to give me like $25 or 35 in credit for them, can't remember for sure, but needless to say I didn't trade the games in.
