7.An Expensive Haul
One of the amazing possibilities at weight-based thrift stores is the finding of 46 pounds of electronics for just $32.02. Particularly for electronics fans and resellers, this creative pricing approach has transformed the second-hand buying experience. Rich in ancient video game cartridges, the collection is a potential gold mine since many retro gaming products have surged in value over past years. On the collector's market, some rare video game cartridges can fetch hundreds or even thousand of dollars. Applied to high-value devices, the weight-based pricing system—which was meant to streamline the selling process—can result in amazing discounts. This especially interesting discovery shows the need of knowing the present market value of vintage gadgets as well as the pricing strategy of thrift retailers. Multiple game cartridges point to this perhaps being a collection worth much more than the purchase price, hence offering a good return on investment for a qualified buyer.
