Anyone Taking on GameStop gets My Support!
Dawdle may be a newcomer to the crowded online game resale space but they won me over with their mission statement to break GameStop’s malicious hold on the used games market. Simplifying things with a sensible rating system and automatically including $3 to each listing for shipping and taxes makes posting items a snap. Payment is also simple with a link directly to your bank account; no PayPal middleman required. Buying, on the other hand, is a little risky… at least for collectors.
No space is given to detail things like “small crack in case” or “pre-owned sticker on cart” so you’re really taking the seller’s word when their listing reads “Complete in Box” in “Like New” condition. There also aren’t a lot of sellers using the service just yet and sites like Good Deal Games and BRE Software have quickly dumped their inventory on Dawdle and jacked up the prices. However, if you’re looking for a place to sell your copy of Heavenly Sword and pick up Soul Calibur IV you’ll likely be able to beat the terrible exchange rates at GameStop. Check out Dawdle and help bring GameStop’s dignity-raping regime to an end!
