    A guy did this to me. Recently, I sold about 100+ Wrestling figures on Shpock, some rare, some old, some not so good. I just sold them for like £70 and this guy really convinced me he collected them and shit then as soon as he got them he just relisted them on separate listings at reseller prices! Really pissed me off!

    • @LeeBondo
      @LeeBondo Před 5 lety +1

      Marc Carran no, it wasn’t the fact that he resold them so much as I was also selling separately an large talking ultimate warrior figure and another which I can’t remember. He begged me to get include these in the sale “ for his collection !” Then he listed them for sale as soon as he got them for about £50 when I’d thrown them in for nothing. wed agreed on £70 it then it cost me £20 to post due to weight. Finally these were my 11 year old twin sons that they had asked me to sell for them.

      Little Samson from Europe is more common.
      Basically the SNES was out in the US in 1991 and the SNES didn't come out in Europe until well into 1992. So a handful of games from 1992 and onward had more copies released in Europe than North America. (There's a common belief too that Europeans were more frugal with stuff like gaming and kept one system longer.)
      Also I'm not sure about Little Samson specifically but a few of those games that are rare in North America and more common in Europe are specifically more common in Scandinavia for whatever reason.

      Unless seller had some specified rules or conditions that you signed and are legally binding, either leave it and roll on it as investment or have some fun and accept if it does hold value, it not being SEALED won’t entirely kill that value as do have box. Oh unless can find like another copy super cheap right, line of the game not another copy of what you have in promo version.

    Why on Earth would you put the three rarest games on the NES in the same pile? I don't know how to spot a bootleg but if I saw even two of those three in a pile of sports games I would suspect something was up. If I'm trying to pull that scam I would put an expensive, but not holy grail, fake in with mostly crap games but maybe throw in a Mario and Zelda to make it look better. Don't get greedy.
    Though I am surprised that the store was taking the crap sports games in the first place. I've been to some stores and the shelves are covered in multiple copies of the same few sports games that no one wants. Honestly, it makes the store look like it doesn't have anything good. You see that with booths at expos as well where you see a wall of Madden and think "not worth looking over this one". I could see keeping one copy of every unique title around just in case someone decides to start a complete collection but no more copies beyond that. Now if someone is selling in bulk and a copy happens to be in it I could see taking the whole thing, but this guy sounds like he was selling bulk amounts of just crap. I've been at the local retro game store that I frequent and have observed a staff member tell someone they would take these titles but not these with some Maddens or whatever getting excluded. I don't remember if the guy got upset or just was happy to get the trade-in for his good stuff. Even having 100 copies of Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt doesn't make sense. Any worthwhile NES collection needs Super Mario Bros but the supply is just too large to carry that many copies. Certainly not more than the amount of NES systems/clones you have in stock.

    I hate it when people resell stuff that they buy from you. I play yugioh and someone bought this card from me and sold it to someone for a better price and then saw the card when I played him in the tournament, I be like oh is that my yugioh card I sold a while ago? Wtf.
