Hmm interesting. Do they buy used copies in places like Mercado Livre or brand new ones in the stores? There's also the trading groups on facebook and whatsapp which i often go to when looking for physical games, so i can trade games im not interested anymore with other owners. Do you or your friends trade games as well? If there's a nice, fairly priced channel you guys use to buy games, like a specific distributor, i'd be curious to know as well. |
Well they usually buy new, and buy from Mercado Livre or on the Av. Paulista stores and other grey market option as far as I know.
I don't trade usually, I buy a lot of used and keep them. Usually I'll just buy new the very best games (like FF XV, RE7, most Sony 1st party) and the rest I'll buy when I yearly travel and find them for 10-20 USD... else I'll buy digital on the flash sales or when I go to those stores in Av Paulista and see a cheap game.
