I don’t find this surprising, personally. I think every game resaler is going to die very soon unless they go heavily into the niche vintage market.
Everyone has access to the internet and can see what their physical games are worth. And with everyone pinching their coin purse because wages aren’t there, the valuable games that are highly sought or can net near-original-value or more probably aren’t being traded in, they are being sold privately.
Besides which, modern consoles have made the resale market worthless in the long term, what with more than half of them being digital only. It’s really only a matter of time before the only resale of games is vintage markets. You can buy used disc games for nearly-new prices, and I don’t see that dropping because of the limited run of physical games.
