[quote name='Survivalism']And it drives me crazy knowing people are stupid enough to think the only reason people to go Gamestop is because some elitist prick on the internet didn't tell them not to. They're not still in business because you haven't told enough people to stop going there. I'm not stupid because I'd rather go to Gamestop than get the runaround elsewhere, and neither is anyone else. Believe me when I say that there is not a single person on this planet who needs your help on this matter. By posting things like this, you're providing no new information or useful advice. I can't stress enough that you're not contributing anything to anyone anywhere at any time ever.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='randomevent']I'm just curious if you're aware that quite a few CAG's wait for this type of deal from GS and actually end up ahead of the game by flipping a variety of games they have previously acquired for rock-bottom prices? It's also not a bad deal for newly released games, and I'll even provide an example.
For instance, I think trading in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood for 38.40 ($24 credit at GS + 60% bonus credit) is a pretty solid deal. The other alternatives are as follows:
- eBay for $30 - $40 (don't forget about fees)
- Amazon for $27.00 credit
- craigslist/CAG for $35 - $45 (you can advertise to sell if for the $45, but you probably won't find anyone to buy it for that much unless you're lucky)
So, comparing those other avenues, does the trade in to GS really seem that bad? Does it make us "stupid?"
The answer is, not really. What is stupid is generalized comments like yours which in essence try to simultaneously insult our intelligence for trading at GS, and possibly make you look superior because you can "sell games for what they are worth." GTFO.
On topic, I've been waiting for this to come up so I can trade in some games. Thanks, OP.[/QUOTE]
it sucks that both of you throw your money away.
even if once in while(like winning the lottery) you get CLOSE to what you could get for the game by working at it a little.
and youre giving it to gamestop who already
enough people over day after day.
[quote name='wreckemtexastech']heres the deal: if you hate GS Just GTFO! this is NOT the place for you on CAG.
The one dude said it best, there are no better avenues for selling games!!! Plain and simple. Where can you get better on new releases than a 50% bump or a 25% bump even?????
Ebay ??? REALLY?? c'mon i think you're joking.. The fees are outta control these days.. and CL... scams, lowballers "will you take a trrade?"
come on to the kids who hate GS.. grow up, it suffers the tragedy of being a BUSINESS. it does what it has to to survive.. Stop complaining and GTFO[/QUOTE]
ebay and zon zon fees suck hardcore, but 99 out of 100 times, ebay and zon zon are the way to go(unless you like gamestop selling your games for ebay prices and giving you a quarter of what theyre selling it for, nubs).
and lol, i like how people defend gamestops with their glitchs and system
ups like GS meant to do those "deals"(like the buy 1 new get 1 used 50% off with space chimps).
and i dont hate gamestop because of their prices(they have some great deals on new OOP stuff), its the service, quality of games(new, "new", and used included) and policies.
