dunno001 let me stop you right there at the point you say a retailer gets $10 per game... that is much below every estimate that I've seen.

Regarding stolen games, I'm sure you've noticed that most game stores don't actually have the DVDs in the cases... so that's another misleading assumption.

The retailers would be laughing all the way to the bank if they got $10 per game on average.

You agreed with his analysis which concluded it's a bad business with $10 a game, and now you say it's great?

 

It would be alright business if it was $10 profit for every game they sold first hand.

 It's not though, it's nowhere near that figure. You've really got no clue though >_>.

Funny that you were assuming $15 per game as a default value (ignoring all the other factors which are addressed later in dunno001's analysis), and now he comes along with $10 and you agree.

But I'm the one who has no clue, of course. Because everyone knows that in reality all game stores sell used games, right? Everyone knows that all stores are Gamestop or Game, and it's impossible for a store to make a profit without them...

 

$15 and $10 are both valid estimates, it depends entirely on circumstance. I was more so just agree with his analysis of the costs of running a store, but if you need to argue like an idiot, use out of context quotes and just completely misinterpret what others say to try piece some sort of a rebutle, go ahead.

 If you actually care you can do a few googles, research how much it costs to run a store, understand that a $10-$15 dollar profit margin is pathetic when you consider the potential losses in selling these games and make try make some sort of a well educated and though-out argument. At the moment you're making replies about something you've clearly absolute no clue or idea about, probably just for the hell of it as you don't want to back track and admit your wrong.

 Nothing you've said yet has actually countered any of my arguments you just repeat the same 'BUT THEY SELL IT FOR MORE THEN THEY BUY IT' thing over and over 8-).
