Please provide an example of a corporation with 5000 stores in over a dozen countries that went under within a year of posting their best financial year. It's not only unlikely that GameStop will close anytime soon, it is virtually impossible. Could it happen? Of course. But the possibility of that happening is extremely slim. The possibility of getting scammed is not. Again, people get scammed and ripped off every day.To mention the possiblity of business collapse in the face of the argument that credit at a store is somehow an infallable resource is hardly defending it, at least not in the context you're trying to place it. Stores, corporations, dog kennels all go out of business suddenly. Some right after posting record profits. I fully concede that it's unlikely; I do not concede it's impossible.
Again, a straw man argument. That's three in this topic. I don't know how I "celebrated" anything he did. I said he wasn't an idiot for not taking the TC's deal. Honestly, I think he was a bit silly for selling it for $160 in credit. $170 in cash wasn't too impressive, either. He could easily gotten more for it by selling it to a friend or family member. I'm sure he could of have found someone he knew that would pay $200 for a Wii. Then, again, maybe he couldn't, and that is why he broke down and brought to it to GameStop. Who knows?I also concede that there is a chance of being robbed where ever you are, but as I have said: the chances are almost non-existant at your local Gamestop. If you want to celebrate someone who didn't even entertain the possibility of making his losses a little less painful by taking a chance and (*horror*) actually dealing with another human being, go right ahead. You have the same rights that guy did.
Again, though, when it comes to the $160 (or $170) in credit or the $170 cash, I don't see one makes him an idiot and the other doesn't. Either is a shit deal for him.
EDIT: Also, how exactly does dealing with other people come into the equation? Do robots man the counters at your local GameStop stores? Either way, you have to deal with another person. Difference is, you know the person behind the store counter is not trying to do anything fishy.
