I think there may be laws in certain states and counties preventing the trade in of merchandise like this. I think the same thing applies to music and movies at pawnshops. I think there is one in Minneapolis.
So take it to walmart. They should at least give you store credit since it is still in the originall shrink wrap.
Have you guys ever had this happen to you? The reason I ask is because it has happened to me personally and I wanted to know if this is a company policy or random stores pulling this. Claiming new games (still in the wrapper) could be stolen is ludicrous considering every used game GameStop takes in could have been stolen. Anyhow, I wanted to know what you guys thought of this.
Store information on some customers on their computers.
Anyway the ower of the shop told me that if the game is still in the wrapper and legitimatly theirs they should be able to go to wherever they got it and get store credit.
Gamestop is an unregulated pawn dealer. I bet they buy stolen property all the time.
Didn't they just become another company? I know in europe they became "game". You can still use the EB reward cards in their shops.
Last time I was there they overcharged me by 100% on a PS3 game so returned it and they required me to show my drivers license just to return a game that I never opened and had the original receipt for. Needless to say; EB Games lost me as a customer forever on that day.
Gamestop neither offers good deals on used games nor are they convenient as most are located in malls. They have poor customer service and offer few if any pc games. Why on earth is anyone still shopping there?
I wasn't aware that saying something lacks common sense is "crucifying them".
Look , if I told you that I don't believe that smoking causes cancer, you could ridicule me, and you would be in the right in doing so.
Just because they are "doing something" doesn't give them a free pass. What they are doing is completely ignorant, and I'll say it as such. If they honestly believe that lack of celophane implies ownership, well, I'd like to see the logic behind it.
Getting less than half of what you paid back for a $60 game that's barely used is enough reason to stop shopping there. I'd be better off going to ebay, and I'd still get at least $10 more even after the cost of shipping it to someone.
No used shop is going to pay much more just based on game condition man. And even at smaller shops unless the owners aren't interested in gaining good profit you're still not going to get $30 even on a brand new $60 title. Retail is about profit, not giving you whatever you believe a game is worth.
They were bought by Gamestop.
That's the way they should do it but gamestop has a habbit of treating games like rental and putting them in one large drawer and having the cases empty. use the ticket system or something, I want my new game to be new not opened and not played. If so I want an instant $10 discount!
Just take the game to walmart/target/bestbuy/any other store and get a gift card for it.
