Jesus, this thread is still alive?
Okay OP, listen to the guy above me EXCEPT for the point about a new Edge card being 'automatically flagged'. Please!
As long as you don't plan to trade in any more items at Gamestop (a transaction which usually requires a valid ID/Driver's License, hence a way they/the nefarious DM could possibly track you), you will be fine. Simply apply for a new Edge card via the $2 trick (see the video game deals forum for details - basically just print out a copy of the $2 Edge card mailer, fill it out and send it along with a check for $2 to the address on the card) but use a modification of the name(s) on your previous Edge cards.
Then, once you get the new card, you will be fine using it at any Gamestop store as long as the store's employees don't recognize you. I.e., don't go back to the store you used to work at, that's just stupid. And don't use it with any transaction that requires you to present ID - credit card transactions, trade ins, etc. You can still exploit deals on used crap, say buying cheap PS2 Network adapters and what not.
as for the rest...
The Rome, Georgia PD is not going to come after you, LOL. What could they possibly come after you for thus far? Unless you go into a store where the police themselves have previously warned you not to enter/return to, you'll be fine. At this point, the DM has simply given you a verbal warning to "stay out of his stores" over the phone - it would be a case of his statement versus yours, so the police wouldn't do a damn thing at this point. They would simply take his statement claiming he told you over the phone not to come into the store, then your statement where you would indicate he never said that, then the police would warn you not to come back into any Gamestop location, the violation of that order would be tresspassing.
The only other thing you've done - legally and lawfully purchasing games at $X.XX and reselling said legally and lawfully purchased games for $Y.YY? You're not breaking any law there. Perhaps the DM would claim that he suspects you've been selling/receiving stolen merchandise, theft etc., but he has not a single shred of proof. Nor do the police. Heresy and speculation won't get you very far in the real world.
The worst that could possibly happen at this point, is this detective calling you and asking (pressuring) you to come down to the station to make a statement, usually involving some ridiculous claims, in this case from the DM, and threats from the officer/detective, that you've been selling them stolen property or whatnot, tresspassing, etc. If this happens, feel free to call the detective's bluff and tell him that the only way you're going to the station is if the police come and arrest you, and since you've committed no offense that warrants arrest, violated no law, that you won't be seeing him anytime soon. And that if you do see him or any officer, that it will only be with your legal representation present. Then feel free to tell him that the manager has been harassing you via phonecalls, threatening you etc. (though it won't matter because you'd have to go down to the station to file a report on the matter).
And no, you don't have any sort of actionable offense that you can pursue, unless you happen to get some (legal) recordings of the phone conversation(s) between you and the DM. No idea what the law is in Georgia, but here in Cali you can't make audio or video recordings of individuals without their prior consent. Of course, nothing prevents you from say, recording any future phone conversations with the DM without his knowledge/consent, then posting said recording on youtube and notify the consumerist, then contacting Gamestop corporate. That would be interesting, indeed. Especially if it was a really juicy.
Even then, you're talking peanuts in terms of damages, so no attorney worth their salt will bother to deal with your case. You haven't suffered and physical, mental/psychological harm that can affect your ability to work or make a living, for example, so really you have no case, at least none worth pursuing.
But if you could get something to hold Gamestop over, like said recordings, then perhaps you could squeeze a decent settlement out of them.
Ultimately though, as I previously said, just ignore this nonsense with the DM and let it go, go about your business as usual, get the credit liquidated ASAP (purchase only hot items, like the Wii, Wii Fit etc.) and get the new Edge card if you absolutely must shop at Gamestop.
in machine man.
