    Yeah, re-imports are basically worthless and you'd be crazy to buy one!!!

    Quoted from Toasterdog:

    I think you could get the same price as a domestic, but I think it will be a harder sale because there will be less demand (buyers that are turned off by reimports) especially if its a title that is readily available as a domestic.

    Wrong. I hear this a lot but I haven't seen it in practice. I've never had trouble getting my price on a nice re-import. Vast majority of buyers just don't care, and the small, LOUD group of people who do will probably find something else about your game to bitch about. It's like the people who won't buy a game without matching boards.

    Quoted from PBFan:

    I don't think it has much (if any) impact on price. Condition is king! However, it does slightly limit your number of buyers as there are a few collectors that snub there noses at anything re-imported.

    Like I said, who wants to deal with them anyway? Anybody who isn't buying your game solely because it's a re-import will have a half a dozen other problems with your machine.
