why are old games/ consoles so expenisve

[Tim1234]

Cash convertors and Game Traders sell their games and consoles for too much for such old games. I want a Nintendo 64 controller and Game Traders are selling them 2nd hand for 29.95?? What the hell, i'm not paying that much. I got my Nintendo 64 with one controller for that price at Cash Convertors. I rang CC for how much they sell N64 Controllers..they said around 20 bucks. I find CC to be less expensive then Game Traders but still they're selling old SNES games without boxes for around twenty bucks. They only sell real crap games for 15 bucks. And they're Gameboy games are even more expensive then SNES games..or the same price. Geez..these are old games that people dont want....The shops buy em' off you for like 2-5 bucks each and then they get to sell them for that price. Anyone else angry about this.

Go to Game Rush in Highpoint (next to Playtime Level 1), they sell second hand stuff really cheap (last time i checked), they even sell Dreamcasts and Sega's! now thats OLD!

Tim,

its called making a profit. Most places like Cash Converters have a set price they sell games at. Now and then you find those rare gems for offer at cheap prices. Maybe try online auctions some of the cheaper games go for cheap.

Cannot say I am angry about it. If you want stuff all you'd sell to em. If you really want a game you'll pay $20 for it no matter how old it is

Funny thing is some of those games must sit around on the shelves at Cash Converters for EONS before being sold.... I always get a laugh when going in to those places, especially with technology items... saw a first generation colour iPAQ at one just recently for $350... :rolling:
