  Video Game Stores are so stupid.

  First Blog. Woo.
  
  Anyways, I was going to sell Tales of the Abyss at a retro game store and while on the phone I heard the man whisper, "Do we have that game in our system?", and then quickly he says "8 bucks". Really? You expect me to believe that made up number? I see a bunch of websites on the internet telling me I could sell this game for 30 Dollars, due to the fact that this game is in excellent condition (Well, in my opinion it is at least)
  
  For Tales of Vesperia, they said that they would give me 4 Dollars. I found that less suprising due to the above price from said game and the fact that ToV is less rare. The funny thing is that when I called up Gamestop, they offered to give me 20 Dollars for it. I bought it new for 20 Dollars! Another comparison for Gamestop to this retro store is the retro store was going to give me 6 Dollars for Budokai Tenakichi 3 for the Wii and then Gamestop said they'd give me 21 Dollars.
  
  I think this make me reconsider my friends statement: "People who sell games will end up losing a lot of value from it". My new rule: "Don't sell a game, unless you need to".
