Best Buy To Sell Used Video Games

Best Buy is going to test the sales of used video games in six Future Shop stores in Calgary but hopes to be selling second-hand games from all 133 Future Shop outlets by late summer. "The used games market has been very lucrative in the United States and I'm not surprised that it's making its way into Canada," said Jason Kee, director of policy for the Entertainment Software Association of Canada. According to the Globe and Mail's Report on Business, EB Games is the only major retailer in Canada currently selling second hand games, "It makes economic sense for the retailer," said Humphrey Kadaner, president of music retailer HMV. "It may be why other retailers eventually have to get into it."
