We're determined to pay the most while selling for lowest possible price.

We live by the following principles.
Shared infrastructure
A one-off solution may be cheap but is it scalable, reusable and shareable?
If the answer is "no" then what's the point?
Think long term
We plan for 5 to 10 years in the future, not for what makes the most money this fiscal year.
Vertical integration
We buy and use out-of-the box solutions wherever possible, but we're not afraid to get our hands dirty and do it ourselves if we have to.
Selling pre-owned video games online was much more complicated than expected. To address such issues we ended up developing custom software, leasing commercial warehouses, and employing dozens and dozens of people.
We thought to oursleves, "Does it really make sense for people to have to develop all these solutions to sell a couple thousand video games every year?"
The answer was "absolutely not" and thus VGBroker.com was born!
