Yes, a lousy thing to be asking about, but I have a stupid problem. I bought a game today and when I got it home I started playing it...about 1 1/2 hours into the game my little brother got home and it turns out, he already has this title; I just didn't know he had it. I went to Gamestop to try and exchange it for a new copy (saying it was faulty) but the guy just pulled out the floor copy and switched the cartridges for me. Is there anything I can do about this or am I stuck? Stupid mistake, I know, but is there any way to fix it?

www.ebay.com

Sell or trade it.

But see, the thing is that I just paid $32 for it today. There are "Buy it Now's" on eBay for $18.99. See why I want to see if I can pull off a return here?

Yeah, at my store (KB) we have to open up your new copy if your old one was defective. Take all the shrink wrap, and all the protective tape off, so you can't turn around and exchange it somewhere else.

Not much you can do but Ebay it yourself :|

What game is it

You just paid 32 - 19 = $13 to learn some of life's most valuable lessons.

1) Life isn't always fair
2) The value of your integrity.

It sucks, but $13 is a nice price to pay to be able to look at yourself in the mirror and know that your integrity cannot be bought. Even if you don't care if a game has been re-wrapped, being around this place ought to tell you there are a lot of people who do care.

Those who are faithful in the little things will be trusted with much greater things.

I'm sure someone on CAG will take it off your hands.

lmao. Ok, that was one of the dumbest things I have read here. You are turning a simple question into a big dramatic ordeal. I haven't even played this cartridge yet so it's not like I opened it up, stuck a screwdriver around in there and now I'm trying to get away with something. Get a clue. I've done several trades here and no one has had any complaints. I don't trade "sealed" anything. If it's sealed, it is sitting on my shelf waiting to be played.

And as far as what game it is...it's Pokemon Ruby.

The first rule of lying is to keep your story straight.

True that. You better keep your head in the game or your lying ways are going to get this whole board hot and get us all pinched.

Or maybe you guys need to learn how to read a whole post before jumping on someone. Wow! What a concept! The floor copies aren't played. They are the last copies to be sold if the game is out of stock. All they do is take out all the "guts" of the box and put it in a bag. Notice how I said I haven't played "this cartridge" yet and not just "the game"? Nice try though.

My last statement still holds truth.

No, I'm afraid it doesn't. I do not have "lying ways". It's just apparent that some people on this board are too stupid to read an entire post before making a smartass (and completely inaccurate) comment.

Yeah, didn't you guys read his post? He lost money due to his own stupidity, and then tried to cheat a gamestore to recoup his losses. Why aren't you helping him?!

Yeah, I'm the only one that has EVER tried to return a game before. Maybe I should just sink to the level of a lot of people on here and just go scam some place like Target instead of trying to return it at the PLACE OF PURCHASE. Congrats to you if you have never returned anything before, but if you don't have an answer to my question, off.

You got an answer, sell it on ebay. You got another answer, sell it on here. You got another answer, trade it. What else do you want?
