All this is saying to me is hoard discarded CRT monitors in a storage locker for 3 years then sell them off for good money on ebay. Am I mistaken?

- cmrdporcupine 10y agoHave fun with the shipping costs on those...
- noxToken 10y agoPass the cost of shipping to the buyer. I resold games in high school. I wasn't savvy enough to write scripts to search for specific games and their prices. I manually combed sites (mostly eBay) to find people/stores that were selling games a few days/weeks before the actual release date. I'd order a few a copies, add a small markup, charge flat-rate shipping (would cover most distances), and be on my way. My point is that there's a market for these. The product I was selling wasn't scarce. My guess why people bought these games was that they were teens who couldn't get their parents to drive them an hour to the nearest store that carried games.
- kristopolous 10y agoI don't think it's reasonable either. The eBay market is strange: 1GB 50 pin scsi drives go for hundreds of dollars, 486 machines can go for $150 and ISA sound cards can be auctioned for hundreds of dollars (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Roland-SCC-1-ISA-Sound-Card-/162342001502?hash=item25cc565b5e:g:pPAAAOSwImRYaVqZ http://www.ebay.com/itm/Roland-SCC-1-ISA-Sound-Card-/1623420...). Don't get me wrong, this is a total waste of time - but the market is probably there for someone who wants it.
