Our library is looking to add video games to our collection. I was curious if anyone could provide some advice on:</div>
<div class="elementToProof" style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<ul data-editing-info="{"orderedStyleType":1,"unorderedStyleType":1}">
<li style="list-style-type:disc"><span>Ideal vendors to order through. Has anyone found any that offer bulk discounts? We won't be buying enough to qualify for wholesale, and any other retailer we look at only lists at MSRP.<br>
</span></li><li style="list-style-type:disc"><span>Collection best practices. Does anyone have advice for what circulates well? Currently, we plan on ordering Switch, XBOX, and PS4/PS5 games. Should we be adding 3DS or other support materials (strategy guides, peripherals,
etc.)?</span></li></ul>
<div>Any guidance or just your personal experience with collection development for this area would be welcome!<br>
