Well maybe Slackers has less variety on top of quantity so they're willing to pay up more for it as it can get people in there? Hopefully if/when they catch up to the others they don't change their policies as it'll drive off loyal customers who feed their shelves. That's what happened around here. Half Price Books 4 years back started using the highest BIN prices on video games to do their stickers. The local area chain couldn't compete as people would run there, buy the stuff, and HBP would give them more in return so it forced the locals to price match. Since then they have a decent stack of commons, and of the nicer stuff either rarely comes in, or some of it because of marks/condition things I know have been sitting in there for a very long time. They put the effort into dusting it off and raising the sticker prices as needed (how nice) but it's the same shit, some of it for years now you find people fight over online for that are sure fire sales.
