A friend of mine back in 1996 or 1997 it was when the Nintendo 64 first came out.He bought the consol by its self(No Game with it) and used to go to Global video & hire out the games.After having it for only a few months he took it it to 1 of these places to see what kind of deal he would get & they offered him �25 (this thing was in mint condition with the box & whatever else came with it my mate told them to get stuffed.Bear in mind this consol was still new in the market.They would buy it off him for �25 but would probably sell it for �60-�65 at least.Of course this was way back but i believe they still operate in this fashion.They buy it off you for a cheap price but then sell it for a slightly higher price.
