This posting is directed at two guys that are the owners of a certain store that must learn to mainly NOT steal from people and yeah respect. Oh sure anyone can meet and
greet with a smile on their face but how many of us can and will really treat others not known with true respect and dignity when nothing is lost? NOT MANY. Believe me
when I tell you not many!! Ever heard of Adolf Hitler or J. Edgar Hoover? (He was homosexual and was the one responsible for Marin Luther King Jr.'s death, true no lie!).
My main thing with these two guys is the theft and yes the lies with a smile on their face. Oh yeah that's what most video game stores do.They end up telling you how bad
gamestop is by giving you pennies on the dollar and that they are way better than gamestop but know that they are no different. I have over 15 years dealing in video games
and every mom and pop shop ALWAYS claims to do better than gamestop but do they? NO THEY DON'T!!!! Where's gamestop will give you $5 for a $20 to $30 dollar
game used not to mention new, the mom and pop shops will give you $7 for a $20 to $30 dollar game!! Well they did tell you the truth that they pay more but still it is
disrespectfully low.....with a smile on their deceitful face! There's one in particular that takes the cake and does this and they go all out to do so. The name of the video
game store that I am talking about is World -8. It is located on the corner of Vermont and 11th Street. There are two owners. One's name is Israel Roldan and the other is
his brother. They use a tactic of the good guy bad guy role. Yeah some of you might be familiar with this tactic. One guy will tell you and agree with you on what your game
normally sells for and when you go in to either trade or sell, the other one will basically let you down making you waste your time by going in. In some cases while a
person is already there, they just figure oh well I did not come in for nothing and give in. PEOPLE PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS!! Israel Roldan and his accomplice brother
HOPE to put you in this mood/state of mind! Please before you sell your game to these types of people and anywhere else for that matter, RESEARCH IT ON EBAY OR
AMAZON to know the TRUE value of the game you want to sell. Now there's two categories on ebay and amazon. There's auction and buy it now. The auction category is
unpredictable so that means that at the end of the auction, the game may or may not sell higher than what it normally goes for. Usually it will sell either very little over or
under what it normally goes for. Buy it now on the other hand is very close to what it normally goes for and to what the seller is more than willing to let it go. See? That's
how you can figure out what games go for. Israel Roldan and his accomplice brother KNOW this. If I am not mistaken and I believe I am not, they try to make it seem that a
discount and acceptance is solely dependant on your attitude but do not be fooled. This is not true. It doesn't matter how good your attitude. They judge you on how you
look and what they think they can take from you according to your knowledge on games....with a smile on their face. Of course if you do not end up selling to them they
get mad. It's true! Just try them to find out. I am just a guy talking but action speaks louder than words. Again I do not hate it's just that I detest theivery and lies and
especially hostility when you are well armed with the correct knowledge.
P.S. PEOPLE PLEASE BEFORE YOU TAKE IN YOUR GAMES TO WORLD 8 OR ANYWHERE FOR THAT MATTER, RESEARCH THE GAME YOU WANT TO SELL BY GOING INTO EBAY OR AMAZON.
