I collect used videogames and I like getting things for good prices so I can build my collection (Going for a complete PAL Gamecube Collection). If you know anything about region locking on old videogame systems, you will know that PAL region instantly means double the price, then times it by another 30% if you want the Australian classification sticker on it for the rarer games!
Anyway, to get back on topic... I now predominantly buy bulk lots of videogames for cheap prices, then resell the remaining titles I already have leftover. I usually sell my items well below what the market is charging because I have an issue with driving up prices due to it stinging me in the ass when I want to find stuff for myself! Gotten a lot of titles virtually for free because I am willing to take the time to drive a little, buy up big, seperate into piles, then put them on the market. Most auctions/sales I sell go within a few minutes recouping my costs.
The bonus is It's not just saving a chunk of change... it's also making friends (which I am not typically great at) and building a community where everyone wins.
Edit:
Dear fellow Australians, before buying anything new, have a look at ozbargain.com.au Probably the best website in the country for saving money.
Before buying anything tech related, used staticice.com.au a price comparison website.
Hope these additional links might save some people some money.
