Except for the wholesale cost of the new games I'm picking up. They make a total net revenue of Approx. $15. Let the good times roll :roll:

1. $70 (after factoring $10 for an AC adapter). Didn't check about Mario & Luigi. 2. Not much. Longest one was like 25 minutes. Another one was only like 3 minutes. deleted both.

Well, you Gamestop haters are probably gonna hate me after this, but I then went around and sold it (made $120). I took the money and paid off 3 games on reserve there. New Super Mario Bros. Wii Assassin's Creed II (not completely) Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles (and I got a spiffy T-shirt...

No, dude. I went IN THE BANK and asked the teller for a withdrawal. I'm not stupid =P

Or just stay in areas that are relatively close to an ATM :P

Ok, seriously. Has anyone actually been banned for doing this? o_O;;

Thanks! Will do. :wave: yeah, the things pretty much guaranteed to be stolen. I make no excuses for that, and frankly I don't care. The theft was already done. Gamestop would turn right around and sell it for $130, so I'm relatively indifferent to that. Not at all. I'm replaying through...

well, yes. But in order for your scenario to be truly effective, the person in question running the store would have to financially suffer themselves over the loss of the business. A shift leader's paycheck will remain the same. A part-timer's paycheck will remain the same. A manager's...

Actually, it's remarkably simple. In the same transaction, ring up a $9.99 AC charger and take it off his credit/cash.

That's the funny thing. I don't. There's a bank right around the corner though. So we walked over there, I withdrew a $50 bill, and that was it. :lol:

The majority of the Gamestops in my area are absolute shitholes. This is one of the few that isn't. It's composed of: 1. A manager who remembered my manager from when I use to work at one of the EB's in the area. 2. A former Gamecrazy employee who remembered me from when I worked at a...

I was walking into Gamestop to purchase Borderlands when I see an individual attempting to trade in a DSi. He claims to have found it and doesn't have the charger (which they need to trade in). Now, before the clerk could chime in that he could take out the difference in his store credit, I...

they're not doing their job correctly. Inform them of that, then tell them that it's in the little book where they keep their scannable promotions. If they deny or refuse at that point, ask them for the number to corporate and let them know that you intend to complain.

I'm out of it this year too. In 2005, my very first day of work was Black Friday at EB Games. The following 2 years, it was Gamecrazy Then last year, it was Circuit City (don't have to tell you what happened there) Now, I sell insurance. So I have quite a bit of money for Xmas shopping this...

You honestly make valid points. From a corporate standpoint, I can understand the psychology involved. And obviously, I don't think the general consensus cares that much. There's still just that little pang in the back of my head that keeps going "this isn't new, damnit!!". I work at a...

Last time I checked, Walmart and Target both sell more games than Gamestop. Both ONLY sell new AND keep their games behind glass cases. if the new one is behind something, it's not theirs yet. From there, the clerk can say "we've also got this pre-owned if you wanna save 10 bucks." If...

Actually, game stores make the majority of their money on used games, used hardware and accessories (both new AND used). The reason why Gamestop makes more than Gamecrazy is quite simple. There are very few standalone Gamecrazies. Most are attached to a Hollywood video. This hinders...

Those are usually the customers who buy used anyways (and, obviously, don't care if a game is gutted or not). Keep the used games on display gutted and they'll be fine. For people determined to get the game new (ie: UNOPENED), keeping them behind a long counter, or in plastic shells or behind...

Fair enough. Still reason enough for me to not buy there. I go to Gamecrazy normally. Also, big name department stores like Target are pretty decent too.

These is one other option that I'm surprised no one has brought up. Gamecrazy. Gamecrazy keeps a long counter around about 60% of their store. On the back wall behind these counters, they have their new games on display IN THE CELLOPHANE. It's a simple way to display new games without...
