theyve been selling used games for quite some time..

Interesting to note they took down DOAX2 from their website completely.. it was 9.99 used for 360 about a month after it came out.. bought a few of em.. sold em for triple.. was a good trade :)

See, since I only have last gen stuff, their used game selection is crap to me, but if they got some decent stuff in and actually promised the book, original artwork, etc with it, I might bite.

But, if I remember correctly, don't they also do a Gamestop and say that 'used games may not come with the original case, etc?

some of their used is more expensive then their new lol

The only 2 times I have ever bought used games in store at CC (once was today in fact), the games don't show up in inventory and the cash register spews out all kinds of errors. Then the employee looks at me like I magically produced some sort of alien spawn among their inventory.

Of course no one knows how to solve this dilemma. The first time it happened (Pikmin 2 for $13.99), they had to look up the SKU for the new version of Pikmin 2 and adjust the price.

Today (Ico, $17.99), the employee opened a web browser, searched for "ico," which returned Shadow of the Colossus GH. She just used that SKU and adjusted the price. :roll:

Does this happen every time somebody buys a used game? If so, it must be so infrequent that it befuddles every employee I've run into. Get your inventory straightened out, CC.
