How would I build up initial stock for the used game/record store? For starters, I could use the duplicates in my game collection. That would at least be enough to fill a glass display case or two near the cash register(s) by the front door.
The number in parentheses after the title indicates the number of extra copies I have and could theoretically re-sell. Chances are good that I won't, though... Please remember that these are only the extra copies. It doesn't include certain games that I don't want anymore and might decide to re-sell.

So, that is 111 different items we'd have on opening day, assuming I wanted to sell all of my extra copies and that they were all in good working order. (Which is part of the reason why I get back-up copies of things in the first place.) Again, remember that this does NOT include any of the games I may have decided that I don't want anymore, just the extra copies of certain things. Plus, I could also just buy up those game lots you see advertised on eBay and Craigslist, garage sales, et al.
