Dragon Quest VII - $29.99, GS Clearance - YMMV?

[ilpalazzo150]

Stopped into my local Gamestop last night just to browse. Right at the 3DS games, their display copy of DQ7 was labeled with a yellow clearance sticker for 10 bucks off. They actually sold me a sealed copy, too.

Not sure if this was just for my store or not, so I've added in a "YMMV" just in case.

Nope, not YMMV. It's even the same price to order online. Occasionally, the clearance prices are temporary, but it should be the same price everywhere. Good catch, OP.

In classic GameStop fashion, the preowned version is $37.99.

With things like this, they'd rather get rid of the new copies at a cheaper price and free up store/warehouse space. As a former employee, Nintendo games rarely if EVER get "Sku Converted". That is when a new game they stop selling new, and all new copies are opened and marked as pre-owned. A LOT of games that are not new indie or games that didnt sell well after awhile show up "pre-owned" at stores that were sku converted at the warehouse to have more in the field at varying prices.
