minus-squareEiri@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·3 days agoWhy would used games cost more than new ones?
minus-squaregabereal@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 days agoBecause that’s the price that (most) customers are willing to pay for them 🤷 But, if you account for inflation (using the BLS website ), $50 in Jan of 2011 is equal to a little over $70 today, so a $60 used game is kind-of a discount?
minus-squareChloé 🥕@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 days agobecause the nintendo games that people care about don’t really drop in price, or at least not significantly if you’re lucky, you might find a popular switch game used for 50$ instead of 60$, but that’s about it and if you’re going for retro games, it’s even worse. the retro games that people care about cost a fortune, pokemon is a good example
