How did buying a bunch of used games make them richer?
- bdcravens 3y ago> Lots of people have a lots of free money so they just bought up everything. Rich get richer. I don't think they were suggesting that was how they became "rich", but that those with disposable income are always looking at ways to flip in ways that most couldn't afford. Online resellers do tend to serially follow trends in what sells, so that general category could be where they get their money from.
- stefanfisk 3y agothat's not what he said.
- lsaferite 3y agoI presume the line of thought continued that the well-off used their liquidity to fly to Japan, buy retro games, and then sell them at a markup in the US.
- spacecadet 3y agoPlease. "richer" could mean +$1 Since you couldnt be bothered to do 1 minute of research... these types of games fetch huge prices when imported, mostly from white men with too much money.
- spacecadet 3y agoSmooth skins? Is that less offensive to the majority? LOLOL
- fennecbutt 3y agoApparently I'm a white man with too much money cause I like buying and playing pogeymanz.
- haunter 3y agoYou can buy something for X and sell it for 3*X (and 3 is a very conservative example)
