    All my physical Switch games (which is most of them) I got used at GameStop because they were all about 50-70% cheaper than buying new or through Nintendo’s store. Even TOTK which I got maybe 3 months or so after release was only $35 used. Games that were even older were mostly $10-20.

      And gamestop paid the original buyer of that something like 5 dollars so they could sell it back to you at 7x the price.

      Utilizing stores like gamestop can be beneficial to a consumer but the entire business model is built on exploiting children and idiots.

      Funny fact: the game stores here are so greedy you can find used game for more than the online shop price 🤷
