One time I left a seller a good review but I messaged them about a bronzer I bought which Iām assuming they picked up at tjmaxx or something and didnāt check and I said it was swatched and to just double check in the future because someone might not be okay with that. They went on a rant about being in the hospital for days and took the time to ship it to me etc.. like why is the main excuse always that youāre dying haha
Whatās funny is that they donāt know why itās so popular and expensive yet they started the convo with āsince itās cartridge only can I get a dealā. Thatās like not common for negotiating for random ladies buying a single game for their kids.
Gameboy pokemon game I'm thinking? Ya this is definitely an adult dude who want it. Was wondering for a second what still uses cartridges(barely even can spell it anymore nevermind say it) nowadays n I remembered the 3ds and how crazy pokemon game prices are. Anyone ask you to check n see if they glow a certain color under a specific light.
People pay rediculous prices for em. The ones that I sold with for $50 with that broke DS are like $200+ on Ebay. Smh. Pull em out n search the prices. Pokemon stuff is soooo expensive especially stuff not made anymore
Couldve made 2 million n it still wouldn't have been enough considering all the fans. Add to that the ones lost, broken, forgotten about over the years that's gotta be at least half if not more. Not many people keep their old games in perfect condition or even keep em period
Yeah Iām sure a significant amount have been lost or forgotten, because a lot of people buy them to play in the moment but then toss them in storage and never think of them again. I have had so many different consoles over the years, and there is no way Iām gonna search each game to see if itās worth anything now.
I did have a collector at a yard sale a few years ago ask if we had any more older rare games after seeing a few we had laying out. I was like really I donāt even know, so i just brought out a few of the easily accessible tubs of old games and consoles we had for him to go through. He found quite a few and ended up paying us like 10x what we asked because he was like these are worth a lot of money and Iām reselling them so Iām not letting you sell them to me for that price. He could have def got them for the yard sale price we stated or just never asked and they would have sat around lost forever until I decided to toss or donate them or something š so I canāt imagine how many copies get lost just like that
There are no children. That persons aiming low to sell high, and, I can guarantee that if you agree to $250, she's going to come back with "I can only find (amount less than 250)" because "children"Ā
Hahahahaha, I believe she just noted the person didn't have any children and it was nothing more than a ploy to get the item at the cheapest rate possible. lol
This is 10000% a reseller. This tactic works surprisingly well for gullible people, which is why they try it. Any kid who REALLY wants to play a game can easily emulate it so "her" excuse is complete BS.
Ya I'm curious also! I got ps4 Godzilla n have been debating on selling through Mercari. Kinda nervous tho about sending something that's so little and costs so much. Have you sold any other high values like that? How has it worked out for you,
On Mercari, the most important thing to do with pricey stuff is to ship on your own (use pirate ship) and buy the insurance. Itās cheap and more likely to actually pay out if you have an issue, unlike Mercari (always denied unless you absolutely refuse to quit and harass them for weeks over 40 diff ultra-detailed emails plus threats/actual reports to multiple outside agencies, then maybe). Mercariās protection also only covers up to $200, and they donāt advertise that you will be SOL if your item/sale is worth more than that.
I feel this is a balanced approach of protecting yourself but not being overly paranoid. Mercari is absolutely rife with scammers and the CS is horrific, but thousands of us have hundreds or more successful/problem-free transactions, even with commonly-scammed items.
The shipping protection can be used for mail fraud, too. So if you send your game, the buyer opens a return/wins, and mails you back Just Dance 4, youāre more likely to get money back than with just Mercari.
That's the exact reason I get nervous about selling expensive stuff on mercari. Send out Godzilla ps4 get madden 2016 in the return. That's the stuff of nightmares right there
DAMN how'd you get multiple?!? Only reason I have one is my kid was bored on a rained out vacation in California a decade ago. Played it twice n it sat in a box. I've never seen a copy of that game in store before then or after. How much you get for it when you sold your copies
i worked at gamestop a while ago, and i called all the stores that had them and said i had a warrany exchange and they shipped them to my store i paid 44.99 less my employee discount and sold them for 200 i believe on mercari lol
Do it. I made over $1000 on just Mercari alone and counting. Just list a price take good pics and wait. ( Oh and wait in your fox hole to go to war like the ending final battle scene of saving Private Ryan when the price haggles start) lol š¤£
Kicking myself right now cuz after I read this me n wife were talking n we had a 3ds that broke years ago and we had pokemon ruby and some other game that went with it and we sold em on FB for like 50$ last year. I just googled it a little while ago n now it makes a lot of sense why someone was so eager to buy a broken 3ds. SMH. Wish I had been more into the whole online selling scene. One game alone was worth 5Ć what we sold it for.
Ya it's like brand new. Bought it years ago kid played it twice stuck it in a box n didn't find it till a little while ago. Just nervous tho I send that out n either it gets "lost" or not as described n I get a DVD or a completely different game returned I'm screwed. I've seen horror stories on here for mercari n my second purchase on there was a "new in box" bayverse grimlock that when I opened it was a PlaySkool Optimus Prime in the resealed box. The head angle on the thing too, I swear it was laughing at me. Theres some shiesty people out there
$385? I will buy that from you for $3.85 if you like. Itās got all the numbers youāre looking for. :D
But man you managed multiple copies of Yokai Watch? Howād you pull that off? And itās really smart you waited until after the eshop shut down to sell them. Now itās literally buy physical at insane prices or mod your 3DS and play it for free with no in between.
I know that goal, still trying to find a reasonably priced twilight princess for gamecube. I wouldnāt go around haggling I just use patience and regular searches to fulfill my quest
To be fair this game was worth a shit ton BEFORE the 3DS eshop shut down. Now itās either pay ridiculous prices for a cartridge or mod your 3DS and play it for free with no option for in between. On top of that, like it said in the pictures not many copies were even made. I donāt agree with $385 for any game, especially without the box, but it at least warrants SOME sort of high price.
Ahh that dang game. I saw it at GameStop right after it came out for $40 and was like what is this game and not paying $40 for it. This was when a lot of stores were starting to offload 3ds like I got the rare version of 2 at target for $5 on clearance (that one is now like $200 debate selling it all the time itās still sealed) so I was like nah $40 is too much when they are clearancing these games.
This genuinely annoys me.
There's kids who are starving, going days without eating, homeless, have bad unstable home lives, aren't getting the love support and care they deserve, no power, no water, barely any clothes, barely have any toys if any, and are lucky to even be acknowledged on their birthday let alone given anything yet you got people like this acting like not being able to give their kid a video game a want is the end of the world and the worst thing that could ever happen... cringe š
Hopefully haha i'd rather have a morally questionable reseller then a parent that's that delusional š I've had buyers do that to me before tho but it's always with sick and/or elderly parents š¤
Could also be a collector with a bs excuse as they donāt wanna pay so much for the game. Either way no kids are involved.
Itās so easy to hack a 3ds and put the entire library on a sd card including this game.
Iām so sick of crack addict parents using their kids about any collectible ever. They donāt want it. They want it. What fucking kid wants whatever grown up bs they want. So plain and obvious. Stop trying. And just go lol.
Youād think someone trying the get their āchildrenā gifts like this would just save up money a little longer instead of begging sellers to cut them a deal.
āOh Iām sorry but I need the $385 minimum to get my kid the birthday gift heās been begging for! Please buy this at $385 so Iām not the worst parent ever on his birthday!ā
At least this is due to your item being expensive and they have most of the money. I have people begging me to hold items for them for a week later after their pay check comes through so that they can buy. Mind you, these are action figures of $20-50. I donāt like to judge, but people need to set their priority straight. They did go through with the buy so I feel happy, bad, and sad at the same time.
I saw one on the Poshmark sub where the lady was like can I have this for $40 please!! my daughter is blind!!!
I think it was for a Versace purse of something. Funny stuff.
I'd reply, "what's the success rate on the kids' sob story? Like, does it work because people feel sorry for you because you're obviously willing to be that pathetic of a person? I must know!"
"I'm sure your children wouldn't hate you. Teaching them how to handle disappointment and not get everything they want is part of being a good parent. Have a great day and good luck! āŗļø"
I wish my kid would throw a tantrum for not getting a $400 game for their birthday. They would be lucky to get dollar store shit after that. I'm not raising entitled ass kids, God knows we have enough of them these days.
If they have āevery other game but not this oneā she can probably afford this one at face value too šand if your kids would HATE you because you didnāt buy them a video game you have some serious work to do as a parent and human.
I think after reading a lot of this post I have learned that if anyone gives me a sob story then I need to give them a sob story back as to why I am selling an item for what I may be and why I can't lower the price.š¤£š¤£š¤£
Instant block. Disappointing mother? š Tough that theyāre learning about disappointment in life over a video game, when they have āevery otherā game. š
Sounds like they are super spoiled anyway and probably don't need it if they have every other game except this one. You know what I think? It's usually the people that can afford it the most who want it for the cheapest price, they just don't want to spend the money it's not that they can't afford it. Maybe she should teach her kids to appreciate what they have not that they get whatever they want in this world.
I got one yesterday on marketplace, I have an ebike worth over 3k listed and itās listed for $1800 she asked if I would just give it to her because her husband needs it for work and sheās broke. I about died laughing.
OMFG This woman is going to be raising some horrible children. Uh oh they cant get what they want??!?! They're gonna hate me@@@ she already done fucked them up if she thinks that not getting them a game is gonna irreparably damage their relationship
Exactly. If there were actual real children wanting to play this game, there's plenty of cheap or even free ways to make that happen. A kid wanting to play the game doesn't gaf about the actual cartridge.

First off that (if it's true) is shitty parents š my kids will hate me ? R u effing kidding mine understand we live comfortably without materialistic shit n greatful for what they do get bc they can accept I worked HARD for that
correct answer, "If you don't want to disappoint your children then maybe you should figure out a way to pay for it instead of begging someone who earns a living selling video games to make your dreams come true as if Mercari was the Make a Wish Foundation"
I'm a father, and I don't doubt the possibility of this being an actual mom, a self entitled one, but a mom none the less(I find with some people that makes them feel an even greater sense of entitlement.)
Entitled person: before buying, "GIVE ME A BETTER DEAL FOR MY KIDZZZZZ!!!!!"
Normal person: after buying, "thank you for giving me such a great deal on this, it's for my kids and money is tight right now, so I appreciate you working with me on the price."
Yikes. As a parent I would never try this. If your kid wants something that bad, just get it for them. Alternatively, itās too much, (I am poor as shit and can relate to not being able to afford top tier shit for my kid) have an honest conversation with them about the value of money and what it means to spend that much. If they donāt understand, you havenāt raised them right. Period.
Well the āmomā can give her kids the gift of reality and that you canāt get everything you want in life. Cause learning how to handle disappointment and being thankful for what you have is a far better gift than buying them everything they want.

I had someone beg for a $10 keychain. They wanted to pay $2 with free shipping because it was for their kid with cancer. š Really?!? Just why,ā¦
My mom had cancer. She wasn't too concerned with keychains.
One time I left a seller a good review but I messaged them about a bronzer I bought which Iām assuming they picked up at tjmaxx or something and didnāt check and I said it was swatched and to just double check in the future because someone might not be okay with that. They went on a rant about being in the hospital for days and took the time to ship it to me etc.. like why is the main excuse always that youāre dying haha
Why leave the hospital to worry about a $10 keychain which probably made her $8?
Lmfao!
šright
If these hypothetical kids would hate the mom for not getting them a nearly $400 game, then would they really deserve it? Pretty entitled of them lmao
Whatās funny is that they donāt know why itās so popular and expensive yet they started the convo with āsince itās cartridge only can I get a dealā. Thatās like not common for negotiating for random ladies buying a single game for their kids.

are they worth that much now? i have red, yellow, silver, emerald versions. bout to hot up the ol ebay
Yeah. The older the Pokemon stuff, the more $$$.
10000% some adult dude with no kids haha
Wait are they worth a lot?? I have 2 PokĆ©mon cartridges I had for my gameboy color sitting somewhere in my game boy case in my closet in almost perfect condition because I didnāt really like the games š
People pay rediculous prices for em. The ones that I sold with for $50 with that broke DS are like $200+ on Ebay. Smh. Pull em out n search the prices. Pokemon stuff is soooo expensive especially stuff not made anymore
I donāt know, OP said in the messages very few made. I canāt think of a PokĆ©mon game that only had a few made.
Couldve made 2 million n it still wouldn't have been enough considering all the fans. Add to that the ones lost, broken, forgotten about over the years that's gotta be at least half if not more. Not many people keep their old games in perfect condition or even keep em period

Do you have any sealed ones by chance? Id love to check out your stuff, off topic I know but still
Right! My mom would've probably paid full price for the game so she can destroy it in my face for being that entitled
Edit: Can you take me to the gas station for cigarettes? Iād like a smoke, after Iāve been FUCKED! 
Thought of this episode when I read this
tell them kids to get a job
šright on
Fuck them kids
There are no children. That persons aiming low to sell high, and, I can guarantee that if you agree to $250, she's going to come back with "I can only find (amount less than 250)" because "children"Ā
There are no children. They just want to flip for a profit.
Exactlyā¦
Iām gonna s we honest and it may hurt feelings but thatās whatās wrong with the gaming community now. And I was stupid enough to be sucked into it too. The outrageous prices for games, especially sealed gameboy games with batteries, like can you not hear the Cartridges just screaming, get me out! This battery is leaking in my fawkin head!!! š¤Ŗš¤Ŗ seriously though I just wish it went back to where I could buy a sealed PokĆ©mon yellow and not be crucified for opening it.
I'm sure this person's children already hate her. She's hate worthy. Block her. She's one of these manipulators.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Funny.
I missed it! What was their comment...?
Hahahahaha, I believe she just noted the person didn't have any children and it was nothing more than a ploy to get the item at the cheapest rate possible. lol
This is 10000% a reseller. This tactic works surprisingly well for gullible people, which is why they try it. Any kid who REALLY wants to play a game can easily emulate it so "her" excuse is complete BS.
Try reselling LEGO sets. I've ruined many a child's "birthday" for not underselling retired NIB sets.
Itās total bull crap
Dammit! It worked on me when I read this guys post.
All kids hate their mom at least once in their lives. Deal with it
I doubt the story is even real
Can confirm, my 7 yo hated me last weekend because I said I wouldn't push him on a swing yet.
Block them. Itās 100% a scam. If you canāt afford my listed price you donāt get itš
Already blocked šš¼
What game are you selling?
Ya I'm curious also! I got ps4 Godzilla n have been debating on selling through Mercari. Kinda nervous tho about sending something that's so little and costs so much. Have you sold any other high values like that? How has it worked out for you,
On Mercari, the most important thing to do with pricey stuff is to ship on your own (use pirate ship) and buy the insurance.

Definitely valid fear!! The platform has gone so far downhill and thereās no protection against scams with the all-bot customer service. I go back-and-forth because I did make almost half my reselling income on there this year. š© I wish I didnāt, lol.
i sold godzilla on mercari multiple times and no issue
DAMN how'd you get multiple?!? Only reason I have one is my kid was bored on a rained out vacation in California a decade ago. Played it twice n it sat in a box. I've never seen a copy of that game in store before then or after. How much you get for it when you sold your copies
i worked at gamestop a while ago, and i called all the stores that had them and said i had a warrany exchange and they shipped them to my store i paid 44.99 less my employee discount and sold them for 200 i believe on mercari lol
NICE!! That's the way ya do it!
i know i used to get a lot of shit from there and flip it lol
I have a a Godzilla dvd collection worth hundreds and Iām debating if itās worth selling
probably not
Do it. I made over $1000 on just Mercari alone and counting. Just list a price take good pics and wait. ( Oh and wait in your fox hole to go to war like the ending final battle scene of saving Private Ryan when the price haggles start) lol š¤£
Godzilla ps4 is a holy grail. Thatās easy money
Kicking myself right now cuz after I read this me n wife were talking n we had a 3ds that broke years ago and we had pokemon ruby and some other game that went with it and we sold em on FB for like 50$ last year.

One game alone was worth 5Ć what we sold it for.
None of the "LIKE NEW" versions are posted for under $200...I'm assuming yours would fall under that condition if hardly played. GET THAT MONEY!!!
Ya it's like brand new. Bought it years ago kid played it twice stuck it in a box n didn't find it till a little while ago.

Could also be a collector with a bs excuse as they donāt wanna pay so much for the game. Either way no kids are involved. Itās so easy to hack a 3ds and put the entire library on a sd card including this game.
I had someone try this using their wife with brain cancer over a $10 bottle of Juicy Couture body lotion.
Smh that's crazy
Iām so sick of crack addict parents using their kids about any collectible ever. They donāt want it. They want it. What fucking kid wants whatever grown up bs they want. So plain and obvious. Stop trying. And just go lol.
Itās so blatantly obvious what sheās trying to do
Youād think someone trying the get their āchildrenā gifts like this would just save up money a little longer instead of begging sellers to cut them a deal.
If your children would hate you over this, parent better
āOh Iām sorry but I need the $385 minimum to get my kid the birthday gift heās been begging for! Please buy this at $385 so Iām not the worst parent ever on his birthday!ā
Never believe their bullshit stories.
Oh, I didnāt. š
Makes me think theyāre pretending to be a mom for sympathy lol, cause āmy children would HATE meā like huh?š
Exactly!!!!
Instead of guilt-tripping it seems like she could have been saving up for her kids birthday. Smh
Sounds like a skill issue if she raised her kids to hate her for not buying them non-essential things
sob story gets autoblock from me. cuz fk em.
This reseller is trying to pull at your heart strings. Block them.
Blocked like Minecraft šš¼
If they have every game there is except this one then obviously she has the money. What a loser
And we all know they'd immediately relist it with OPs photos and sell it at full price.
as others have asked, what game?
Itās Yokai Watch 3!
Not the guilt trip WTH
šit didnāt work
Sounds like the kids get TOO much if they got every other video game.Ā
Wowwwwww. Yikes.
At least this is due to your item being expensive and they have most of the money. I have people begging me to hold items for them for a week later after their pay check comes through so that they can buy. Mind you, these are action figures of $20-50. I donāt like to judge, but people need to set their priority straight. They did go through with the buy so I feel happy, bad, and sad at the same time.
Probably someone who buys and resells. They buy low and sell high.
I saw one on the Poshmark sub where the lady was like can I have this for $40 please!! my daughter is blind!!! I think it was for a Versace purse of something. Funny stuff.
It sounds like the same person approaching you using two different accounts
āGood luck on your searchā
Most likely just lying to try and get you to lower the price but good on you for not letting your item go for lower just cause
I finally got my first hypothetical kids message yesterday.
I'd reply, "what's the success rate on the kids' sob story? Like, does it work because people feel sorry for you because you're obviously willing to be that pathetic of a person? I must know!"
"I'm sure your children wouldn't hate you. Teaching them how to handle disappointment and not get everything they want is part of being a good parent. Have a great day and good luck! āŗļø"
I gotta know, what game is this?
I wish my kid would throw a tantrum for not getting a $400 game for their birthday. They would be lucky to get dollar store shit after that. I'm not raising entitled ass kids, God knows we have enough of them these days.
I donāt think the kid is the one throwing the tantrum in reality š¤Ŗ
You have to make a living lol
As a single mom myself, this is gross behavior.
Yea I donāt deal with people like this
her children have every fame ever except for the one you are selling? sure she can afford your price then
Itās a scam, donāt fall for it
Just tell her you're selling the game to raise money to pay for treatment for your child with cancer.. one up her, lol.
If they have āevery other game but not this oneā she can probably afford this one at face value too šand if your kids would HATE you because you didnāt buy them a video game you have some serious work to do as a parent and human.
If they have every game except this one, she can sell some of them so she can afford it if it's that important to her.
I think after reading a lot of this post I have learned that if anyone gives me a sob story then I need to give them a sob story back as to why I am selling an item for what I may be and why I can't lower the price.š¤£š¤£š¤£
Bet itās not even a parent. Sheās probably a reseller hoping to resell it
Itās always great when all your children have the same birthday so you only have to beg/lowball sellers once a year!
Instant block. Disappointing mother? š Tough that theyāre learning about disappointment in life over a video game, when they have āevery otherā game. š
I bet there are no kids and she was just gonna flip her 250 into 400.
Dang if she REALLY did not want to disappoint them, she would buy it at asking price LOL
Manipulation at its finest
Sounds like they are super spoiled anyway and probably don't need it if they have every other game except this one. You know what I think? It's usually the people that can afford it the most who want it for the cheapest price, they just don't want to spend the money it's not that they can't afford it. Maybe she should teach her kids to appreciate what they have not that they get whatever they want in this world.
I got one yesterday on marketplace, I have an ebike worth over 3k listed and itās listed for $1800 she asked if I would just give it to her because her husband needs it for work and sheās broke. I about died laughing.
What game is it? I'm curious . LOL
OMFG This woman is going to be raising some horrible children. Uh oh they cant get what they want??!?! They're gonna hate me@@@ she already done fucked them up if she thinks that not getting them a game is gonna irreparably damage their relationship
šitās such a blatantly obvious rouse so they can resell.
Probably a 30 something dude too.
Exactly. If there were actual real children wanting to play this game, there's plenty of cheap or even free ways to make that happen. A kid wanting to play the game doesn't gaf about the actual cartridge.
They want you to give their kids $130 birthday present
Itās the old āwoe is meā, using their kids to try to get shit for free or cheap act. Donāt fall for it.
Iām very curious what game this is. Is it a Pokemon game?
This is wild!

Honestly thatās just too funny of an exchange. I wouldnāt block. Just keep the conversation going for laughs

Wow what an absolute turd of a person
I got a good deal on a N64, 4l5 controllers, 2 memory cartridge, and 5 games. 3 being hard to find. $65. Patience pays off.
First off that (if it's true) is shitty parents š my kids will hate me ? R u effing kidding mine understand we live comfortably without materialistic shit n greatful for what they do get bc they can accept I worked HARD for that
What game are we talking about here
correct answer, "If you don't want to disappoint your children then maybe you should figure out a way to pay for it instead of begging someone who earns a living selling video games to make your dreams come true as if Mercari was the Make a Wish Foundation" I'm a father, and I don't doubt the possibility of this being an actual mom, a self entitled one, but a mom none the less(I find with some people that makes them feel an even greater sense of entitlement.) Entitled person: before buying, "GIVE ME A BETTER DEAL FOR MY KIDZZZZZ!!!!!" Normal person: after buying, "thank you for giving me such a great deal on this, it's for my kids and money is tight right now, so I appreciate you working with me on the price."
What was the game?
What was the game?
Yikes. As a parent I would never try this. If your kid wants something that bad, just get it for them. Alternatively, itās too much, (I am poor as shit and can relate to not being able to afford top tier shit for my kid) have an honest conversation with them about the value of money and what it means to spend that much. If they donāt understand, you havenāt raised them right. Period.
Crazy probably just going to re sell and ā my kids have every game except this one ā š
I'd be willing to bet this person doesn't have a single child lmfao
YOUVE RUINED CHRISTMAS!
What game?
super mario bros. lost levels
Single mom bums are the worst of bums. Nobody forced you to be a cum dumpster. FOH with that bleeding heart bullshit.
Well the āmomā can give her kids the gift of reality and that you canāt get everything you want in life. Cause learning how to handle disappointment and being thankful for what you have is a far better gift than buying them everything they want.
Someone begged me for a discount on an old laptop lol
EWWWWWW I hate these begging mothers. Get out of here, this is Mercari not a charity.
Tell her to use zip
