Terribly bad news... Although that does mean that there is a space for established (or even new emerging) retailers to possibly consider wanting to build their own marketplaces.

Marketplaces are just so hard to get off the ground, I can't really see any new competitors popping up.

The purchase offers seems weird to me also but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

🤣 are you actually doing trade-ins at GameStop? I had such a bad experience buying the switch, that I swore to never go back

No 😂 not in a while, but I remember when I used to. I’ve been wanting to get a game cube to play OG animal crossing and they’re stupid
