SCAMMING OVERPRICED DROPSHIPPERS
SCAM. This shady, overpriced, dropshipping store purchased a GameCube game from me on eBay and sent it to a completely different address many states away from their physical store location. This is because they did not have the game in stock in their store and someone purchased it on their website, where they have it listed for $30.97. They bought the same game from me for $12.37 shipped, and had me ship it directly to their buyer, meaning they profited $18.60 off a game they did not have in stock but told the buyer that it was in stock anyways. Mind you, the pricecharting (aka average ebay sold value) for this game is $10, so these clowns are charging 3 times market value on their website, so I assume the prices in their physical store are just as horribly overpriced. Do not support this store/company in any way, they are clearly just into retro games to rip people off and make money and are not actually enthusiasts of the hobby in any way. Any game store that cares about their reputation and positively contributing to retro gaming would not scam like this with 3x pricing over market value and drop shipping.
