kumquatq3 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 When it comes to music, the problem is that there is so much music, and they are limited to how much of it they can supply. They can't have all of it, so they sell what is the most popular, to bring in the most costomers. Same with PC stores. They sell what will bring in the most customers. They can't afford to carry a little of everything. The same goes with all retail stores. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You guys seem to be forgetting most of these retail chains have websites that DO carry most of what Amazon does, in terms of music and such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BicycleOfDeath Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 (edited) Um, have you ever browsed Amazon.com? They have things my local record store couldn't custom order. That's saying quite a bit. *Edit: fixed a werd, yo Edited June 27, 2006 by AngryKidJoe Stand Your Convictions and You Will Walk Alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanschu Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I think he is thinking couldn't custom order. As I was quite confused too. You're more persistent than me, I gave up after 4 rereads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BicycleOfDeath Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Must be the Texas stupidity wearing off on me. Anyway, What Amazon.com advertises and what other stores sell are fairly accurate. But their actually stock is highly more expanded than a standard retail store. That includes the retail store's online site as well. They may have a little more but it's not something I'd count on - ever. Stand Your Convictions and You Will Walk Alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x1Predator Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 hey guys...why not ebay? I always get old games from there such as Ocarina of time and majora's mask, resident evil 2, warcrafts 1 & 2, a bunch of old NES games ( which I do enjoy when I must go back to the glory days of early gaming ), and many others, as well as the strategy guides for all of these games. The good people of ebay have never let me down once. I just always make sure to email the guy I purchase from and make DAMN sure the game I bought has never been opened. Prices are usually fair enough considering how old they are. Relating to the topic........I too have grown to hate the once glorious stores of Gamestop and EB games. When the 64 came out I learned of these stores and bought damn near everything from them. Once the xbox hit the shelves the pc games and other old used games were dismissed and thought of to the salesman as "ancient relics" (very insulted I was) while other newer games have been replacing the once great shelf of gaming history. I will never forgive these two stores in my town for committing such an atrocity. But on the flipside as many of you said, its all about the bucks so part of me can't blame them........I guess <_< If money is the root of all evil.....why is the world not destroyed?

Fenghuang Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I'm trying to get a job at EB. I don't use Ebay for used games because I've gotten scratched discs before. Even if they say 'Like New'. Like New is a moniker for so scratched up it looks like a child scribbled all over it with a ballpoint pen. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
