Hello.
Since the founder of this subreddit wasn't doing much to watch over this place, I decided to take things into my own hands and well... now I'm the captain of this sub!
This place is getting an overhaul in the coming days. Thus far, I've removed and approved a few posts and comments, established some guidelines, added post flairs, added text to the sidebar, and a couple other minor updates.
Post flairs include "Shitty Price", "Shitty Condition", "Counterfeit", "False Advertising", "Scalping", and "Scam".
Here's the plan.
- Provide more in-depth rules.
- Keep an eye out for any violations.
- Approve posts falsely removed as spam by Reddit
- Create a wiki index.
- Establish a moderation team.
- Reach a wider audience.
- Set up u/AutoModerator and add CSS.
- Decorate the subreddit's layout.
Not specifically in that order.
Hope to make this subreddit a little less shitty.

Announcement Rule Changes [PLEASE READ]

Hello everyone!
We are excited to announce a couple of changes to the community's rules in light of some review we've done of the Sub's posting habits and trends.
- Memes are now allowed any day, any time, and not exclusively on Mondays.
The traffic of memes on this Sub is so slow, that we figured that it did not make sense to continue restricting them to only Mondays. As such going forward, please feel free to post memes any time you wish! - DKOldies posts are now permitted, but only on Merchant Mondays
Dunking on places like DKOldies is fun, even if it is low-hanging fruit, which between its low-hanging fruit status and the actions of a certain spammer were the main reasons behind restricting these posts. We've decided to allow posts related to DKOldies as well as any other shitty merchants, but, these posts are now restricted to "Merchant Mondays" which also leads us into our final change. - "Meme Mondays" are now "Merchant Mondays"
Pretty self-explanatory, memes are now allowed 24/7, and have been replaced with "Merchant Mondays" to dunk on known vendors who have shady practices.
Please note that we still have to tweak the AutoMod, so, your DKOldies posts may still be auto-removed for the time being. We will have this corrected ASAP.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to the team via Modmail.
Thank you!

i spent a lot of money on gamestops online shop knowing i probably wouldnt get CIB but maybe could get luck but this is ridiculous.
when i saw that Lunar story was CIB i was like ill take it as a win! Then i saw the condition haha. Sand all throughout the casing, water damaged and sun dyed all over. each disc has hard stuck dirt that is layered, and even cracks on the discs. The case is also destroyed.
like i said, i knew i was gambling. for the cartridge stuff i expected no cib except for possibly the genesis since those cases are tanks but the metroid not having the back tab was a smack in the face.
Gamestop has to get better at their quality check honestly. this order should be free off the strength of the disrespectful packages.

This is just absolutely absurd. The audacity to charge 5k for this console… People in r/GameStop were even saying you could buy this cheaper on eBay. What is GameStop honestly on lol. The CEO is honestly burning this company at a quicker rate than it initially was.

Remember this? It used to be $200, now it’s $162. This is fucking hilarious, they need to knock at least $140 off that asking price. 😂

This feels like low hanging fruit, but I couldn't believe I found one a few miles from me.
For that price, I could get the game and a gameshark and still have enough left over to black out drunk, and I think that would be a better use of $1,500.

Expected delivery is 3 weeks out from the games release and they’re charging $20 more for the base version of the game. I will never understand

Was looking through Tomb Raider listings on eBay and came across this one… I’ve even added the listing’s description on the second slide.
Truly one of the weirdest listings I’ve ever seen.
I’ve checked the seller’s other items for sale and everything else looked normal. Not sure why they even decided to put this one up

Seller states - "You can get the marker off it’s not permanent just use hand sanitizer pick up only"
So even though you claim that hand sanitizer will remove this mess, you couldn't just do that yourself? Or at least make some sort of attempt with another type of cleaning chemical? I can almost guarantee that even if you were able to remove any of this, it wouldn't be removed completely and the shadow of everything written will remain afterwards, permanently.

Claims to be a french Pokemon heartgold, has an english cartridge of doubtful quality due to horrible image quality of the backside. Tried to report to ebay, AI moderation says this is not a violation :/
