He isn't the only one it happens to. It's actually pretty common around here when people refuse to be shamed into supporting the official narrative like what happens on reddit.
Most places now. Before gs screwed up the market, most places offered 80% of the list price for new releases. They would resale for 90%. Some of my friends would buy the latest fad game on launch day, play it for two weeks, then trade it in for something they missed last month, then come back and trade that in for three older games.
Prices for pretty much any used game are dictated by the market. There's no "should," it's what buyers are willing to spend. If there's a glut of whatever Mario title Vlad is whining about and nobody is buying it, the price will come down.
Except "the market can stay irrational for longer than you can stay solvent," which is particularly relevant in the present status quo where businesses can seemingly afford to light cash on fire for several years as long as mysterious money is flowing into them.
Arguably Gamestop's business practices would have ended it years ago if it weren't for the meme squeeze.
Lol why is this downvoted? I mean Gamestop has to make a profit but used Switch 1 games should maybe be $30?
I think there are some people that stalk downvote that guy.
Weird. Out of all the people to stalk downvote on this forum I'm really confused why he would be the one.

Ah yes, karma systems and their consequences.
I will say that regular forum systems still have their own groupthink, but it's more of a social pressure thing than voting visibility.
Must be some salty Ottomans on the board.
"some people" lol, we all know who it is.
fuckin JIDF k!kes
the most fragile demon worshiping degenerates in the world.
He’s a complete asshole, but very good poster for the most part. I upvotes to balance it out.
Nintendo doesn’t reduce prices on physical copies. Therefore used copies are more expensive. This isn’t new, it’s been their MO for over a decade now.
Yeah, and Gamestop pays like $10 per trade-in. Gay
Most places will pay 30-40% of resale value, GameStop is a lot more stingy than they used to be but you can still get 30% if you do store credit.
The joke of a few bucks vs solid store credit has been around since the early 2000s.
