  • @SteveSwanson88
    @SteveSwanson88 Год назад +1

    When u buy a game to resell/flip on Amazon or eBay, u don't know if or how long it will take to find a buyer. U could sit on a game for a while and have to lower your price to sell it, thus losing profit. Then u have to package up and ship all of these games out which is a hassle. U have to spend hundreds up front to buy these games in the expectation of being able to quickly flip them for a profit. It's a large initial investment that may or may not always work out as intended. I will only do a few game flips per year. Mostly during the holiday period.

    • @JoeGrizz1y
      @JoeGrizz1y Год назад

      Midnight releases happen all the time. Except they aren’t really at midnight. It’s always like 9:30-10:30 when the go live. They just aren’t special anymore cause you could digitally download the game and get it the second it unlocks. Another reason is pre-ordering has ruined it. As their is no problem getting your hands on one as you are pre-purchasing which adds to the desired amount. Plus there has never been a game that absolutely blows the hype through the roof to where people fight to get a copy. Back then, it was always the fear of missing out and possibly waiting to be told that they ran out of stock. I think the last year I ever had trouble buying a game on release was probably around 2012/2013. Games are just way more accessible today, and 99% of games are overhyped or garbage at release. 😂
