I just bought a used gamecube and when I try to put a game in it doesn't spin the game in the thing it doesnt spin or read it. Is there a way to fix it so I don't have to go and buy another one?

Unfortunately your options are limited.
Did you try different games? Are there any frays in the power adapter? Is the power cable plugged into a power strip?
The other options are to pop it open to look for anything super obvious going on inside but that voids not only any remaining implied warranty, but Nintendo won't even repair it if they see signs of the case being opened.
My opinion -- return it if you can. Otherwise, if all else fails, sell it as-is on eBay for parts. They go as high as $40-$60 shipped.

i tried cleaning the laser or the lens with rubbing alcohol and a q-tip but I don't think it did anything. I tried another game that I know works and it didn't even spin that one either.

I agree with foundation, return it if you can. Then get yourself a new one. Don't settle for sloppy seconds.

where did you buy it from?
if all else fails and the guy won't refund grab it by that nice fat handle on the back and wrap it round the sellers head!
