Gamestop is a ripoff

[Sean]

Ok, so we all know it gamestop is a ripoff, but gamestop is the only closest game store to me where i can trade in stuff. I went to gamestop trying to trade in INfamous, figured i'd get maybe 40 cause it was still relatively new, fucker said it'd get a little more than half of that, $25 to be exact, i was gonna get GTA4 to cure my boredom until i get some more money and get another game, but i didnt have an extra 10, so i went to the used games section, and right in front of me was a USED infamous for only $55, i got pissed but looked at some other games, decided to get Bad Company for 18 and use the extra 7 to preorder Batman. After i get Madden and Batman, i dont know if i'll ever go back to there. I've been going there for yrs, but these rip offs have gotten to me.

Anyone know another game store you can trade in games and get a decent deal? i really dont know any others in Denver

Ebay...

 

[Lupe]

gamecrazy is the best for me. Give you a little more. I think some blockbusters take used games too.

 

[FedEx227]

Yeah, I use to work at GameCrazy and we always offered much more for trade, usually around 30-35 for a newer game like Infamous.

Only problem there aren't GameCrazy stores everywhere and with their less than stellar business outlook they've been closing left and right.

CRAIGSLIST


I sell games for $40 regularly on there and you can get some pretty good deals there as well.

That's a nice site. I got a hooker there.

I've heard some good things about Play N Trade. I've never actually been to one though because the one here is on the complete opposite end of town. I'm all for trying to avoid GameStop as much as possible but it isn't worth driving all the way up there for me. But it would probably be worth checking out if there's one near you.

 

[FedEx227]

Play N Trade stores are pretty awesome. Only problem is there is not a whole lot of consistency as to where they are located because they are basically ran as independent franchises.

I haven't been back to Gamestop since last year, when I received a "new" copy of NCAA 2009 that had already been removed from the god damn case.

That pissed me off to no end.

 

[Sean]

thx to everyone, got some new resources now

 

[Miami Flash15]

You just realized that now?

read the last part man, or where you talking about ebay, craigslist and all that? if so, i dont really like to try new things, thats why i went to gamestop for so long

I dont see the big deal in buying a game from gamestop. Trading in games at gamestop is a different story though. I have a gamestop right across the street from me. Im not going to go out ym way to not go there to buy a game.

 

[JBauerisGod]

Buying from Gamestop is no problem for me. They've been having the "buy two, get one free" on used games about once a month lately and I've increased my PS3 game collection by about ten games since March. I would never trade in games there (unless they are having some kind of ridiculous trade in deal) but buying isn't a problem for me.

My GS isn't even that bad on pushing pre orders either. In the last four times I've been in there to buy games, I've had maybe one guy push me to pre-order a game. Not too bad.

 

[Herm]

This. That place is so redonkulous when it comes to trade in's. What kills me about OP is you talk about how much of a ripoff they are yet you went ahead and pre-ordered 2 games from them, guaranteeing that they'll get more or your business. Don't tell me, you asked them about those games and they told you that they were getting a limited amount of copies and if you wanted one at launch you had better pre-order?

When i bought NCAA the guy tried his hardest telling me oh we're only getting 100 copies of madden combined this year you have to preorder if you want one. I told him Wal Mart next door will likely have 500 copies I'll be ok.

I buy and sell games on Amazon now. I get the games on release day, they are usually 3-4 bux cheaper, and free shipping for me

I sell the games on there for about 10-15 bux more than what the crap Gamestop will give me.
