How it worked at Microplay was that there was a suggested price in the computer for each game, but I could higher or lower it depending on my own judgement, and what condition the disc was in, and if there was boxart, a manual, etc.
As a general rule, rpg's and brand new shooter games were about the only games that were worth anything. Even brand new sports games are worth almost nothing. Why? Because they don't sell. Half of the used games we had were sports games that just sit on the shelf, that lost the company money. If they pay you 10$ for a football game, that's 10$ the store just threw away.
I really don't like Square Enix. I find pretty much all of their games are vastly inferior to Atlus (I have never liked Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy much.) Radiata Stories was ok, so I'll go with that.
It will probably be pretty rare, there's only going to be a one print run. And yes, it was the 5th one that was just released. 1 and 4 were never translated. 6 is already out in Japan and is a direct sequel, so I hope they will bring that over too.
When I was working as a video game clerk for Microplay, it seemed that so many of my customers sold games back to the store. I always wondered why people do this. Do the 3 - 10$ you get back, really help that much? o___O I would much rather keep all of my games, so that I can have them and maybe replay them someday, or have them in my collection to show off, than have enough money to buy a hamburger (maybe). Do you sell your games?
