[quote name='vahn401']I'm just going to chime in, and call me an ass if you want, but its acts like this that are the reason why gamestop doesn't just give out penny guides anymore, and its the reason why they are becoming so difficult to obtain. Whenever I obtained guides from gamestop/bestbuy, whatever it may be, clerks would ask me what I would do with them. I told them trade and give to people I know, I have never lied and sold a guide I got for a penny, especially for near retail prices. It just seems like people that do this are abusing the system we are trying to hold onto.[/QUOTE]
I couldn't agree more. I would never turn around and try to flip a guide for full price on ebay. In the (very) rare cases where I've ever been able to obtain a penny guide, I always hold onto them to trade to other cags. It feels a lot less mercenary and frankly trading back and forth is kinda fun. But I have no doubt there are plenty of people who do nothing but try and make a quick buck. I'd like to think it's mostly fat-wallet dudes and store employees, but there are probably cags who grab thee-four copies of each to sell...
I mean it's your prerogative. If you find one, you're free to do with it as you like. There's nothing expressly wrong about it. But like vahn said, this kinda of practice is inevitably going to lead to further crackdowns at stores.
