You all attack them for no bloody reason, I keep hearing "But there trade in rates are awful"
They paid me 25usd for bravely default, a game on the shelf for 33usd.
Thats over a 66% margin I got to keep, this piss poor prices are likley for games there going to have to work to sell, in which case I dont blame them, you only have so much space in a retail enviroment. :/
Not really, thats my normal experianc with them, if the game is over 20usd on the shelf, you get a 50% margin or greater.
If its less then 20usd use ebay.
Considering 20usd is considerid bargin for retail games, at that point your talking up valuable shelf space, that can be used by higher ticket items....
Hell I can go find my recipts and throw them through the scanner if you dont belive me, but bandwaggon hate is fucking anoying.
No it is not, try returning a newer game to them some time, or just say your considering it, you dont have to do it, they will price it for you.
See those 60usd ones that are still new? they will give you 40-44usd for the,
Note : I think I have just relised the pattern, it IS a 60% margin they give you, until the shelf space becomes more valuable.

The price they give me for used games isn't the reason I don't like Game Stop.
Its because of their business practices.
They put a lot of "mom and pop shops" out of business really quick. And they bully video game companies into getting their products on the shelves, by threatening not to sell their product at all. If Game Stop doesn't sell their games they risk losing millions of dollars, because the people go to Game Stop most of the time for physical copies of games.
Game Stop is a very big cog in the greed machine that the industry has become.

Some shitty shit happened with construction when I was driving, and I had to take a convoluted detour. While that's over with and everything's copacetic, I was not anticipating this, and I'm gonna have to just nap and study in succession.
Please wait until tomorrow if you want to PM me. This is nothing personal, I'm just a little head-tired. Gracias.
