It would be cool, if GOG had a classifieds section that allows people to sell their used physical PC games.
Posted August 23, 2013
That is a great idea... I would vote for that!

No. Because GOG would probably be liable for scams.

There are countless sites where people can do that. Like GameTZ!

eBay is also a good option.

Sounds pretty illegal.

How would GOG profit from this?

We do have a classifieds thread, and nothing is preventing you from listing physical stuff there. I think at some point someone had listed a boat, but doubt anyone took him up to his offer. There has been a successful PS2 trade though.

It would be cool if my idea was completely retarded and illegal.

I'm confused, how is selling used PC games illegal?

I don't think so.

They could take a cut after each sale. Like 1% to 5% of the money you just made from your credit card.

Yes, you can trade there but not sell.

Why is my idea, completely retarded and illegal? People have a lot of physical PC games from the past. People want to make $$$. Some people want to buy these games because they are collectors and would love to have a shelf full of physical 1990s PC games. Illegal? Corporations are butt hurt when it comes to this(selling used video games) but that doesn't make such business, illegal. If you can't tell me why my idea was completely retarded and illegal, then you, you are retarded and your existence should be illegal.

GOG is already vulnerable to scams. People shouldn't let fear get in the way of good things.

I think you may be referring to me and Misfire200, but that was an outright purchase (With games in place of monetary exchange)

How would it work? No offense, I love all of you guys (and girls), but I don't know if I want you having my home address. :P

Other than that minor concern I think it's actually a fantastic idea.

AHAHAHAHA. Maybe people will send you stars? There is Paypal? I think with Paypal, you just need someone's email address. But the buyer still has to give out an address to receive games unless he or she has a PO box.

As I said, there are many good sites where you can do person-to-person trades or sales for physical items. Places that already have a framework set up to keep track of the people involved, like requiring a shipping address on file if needed. Like GameTZ.

This doesn't have to be one of them.

Interesting idea, although hard to police - would GoG underwrite the transactions (i.e. cover losses if someone scams)? If not; would they want the hassle of running it?
