Used Video Games – Tiny Price, Maximum Entertainment

I’d heard many recommendations that the “God of War” series of games on the Playstation were among the best titles every released for the game console. On ebay, I found that you could pick up the console, plus 3 top rated game titles for under $100.

This looked like a terrific deal and buying products one step behind the technology curve made excellent economical sense, especially if not having the latest game is not going to kill you.

Colin Sebastian, a senior analyst with Lazard Capital Markets estimates that used gaming products, generated over $1 billion in revenue in North America alone with margins of about 50%. GameStop and EBGames are already selling used titles. Circuit City is getting started. Many online stores are deep into the practice. Therefore, if you’re feeling like playing a few games, look back – it’s cheaper and environment friendlier.
