Family sedan Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I tried to buy WRC 9 used at my local Game Stop. I couldn't find a single copy. Any ideas why? My idea is that rally just isn't that big here in the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Most games aren't that popular via local stores. At times the store keepers feels that the game wouldn't push for sales and they might record loss, cos they'll hold it long time without much sales. They always rely upon the popular games, since those games got popularity, they can easily sell them off, and make profit. That's just a few points of mine. You can search the game online, their are several options of online stores you can order from even in your locality and get it delivered to you within few days or even hours.

That's True , some local store owners only pick out games they feel would sell more around the vicinity, I go out to the mega game store or the gaming house here where you can get virtually any game you want.

I got what you've said, their are plenty of them, only if the op gonna make more researches around his neighborhood. As for me, I will prefer ordering from online stores like 'Amazon, eBay, Jiji.ng and other recognized stores locally and internationally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If @Family sedan looked for the game online I know there are quite a good number of online stores in the States that would have it, just because a local store doesn't have it available does not in any way mean rally isn't a big deal in the States as well.

And I know Family Sedan lives in the United States, so, their is plenty of options for him to look out for, either online or offline store.

Family sedan Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 Thanks for the advice guys. Actually, there's a store I forgot about two towns away. I could look for it there. This game is already a couple of years old, so I could buy it on EBay perhaps. It's no tragedy if I don't find it real soon because I still love WRC 8.

Heatman Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I have looked it up on ebay and there are so many of sellers to choose from. I have picked out 2 sellers to check out and contact if you're interested in their products. Seller 1 Here Seller 2 Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 As @Heatman has proposed, you may have to try online platform if you can't find what you're looking for at Gamestop. Just take the necessary precautions before you buy anything because there are a lot of scammers on these sites. Heatman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right about applying caution when he's going to be dealing with making any purchases online because the scammers are now bigger than the real legitimate sellers in the online marketplace. I have been scammed one time and it doesn't leave a good taste in your mouth. I blamed myself so much for being so stupid to even go ahead with the transaction.

It was why I had myself blamed big time for it because I felt that's not going to happen since we had been friends for a while. After that, even using the Facebook marketplace is completely out of the question for me. I wouldn't trust a soul I meet on that platform now.
