    How to get rid of your video games junks and doubles that don't sell well is to make a mystery box LOL.

      There wasn't a lot of garbage stuff here. It was mostly niche titles but those always have an audience. I honestly would have loved this box.

      It's the same where you try to sell a lot of games, put a rare/desirable game in there and fill it with junk. It's how I have several copies of Caesars casino on SNES. Mystery boxes just give all random so you don't know what value you're getting.

    Buying a mystery box for $1000 then just auctioning it off to make your money back just seems like a weird cycle for free content.
