And I COMPLETELY AGREE that Gamestop screws the customer by selling incomplete used games at the same price as complete used games! There is no way that will be going on in my store.
I know what you're talking about. And I'm trying to think of a way to get around that. I don't want to put unopened games on the shelves (if I did I'd be another "the exchange" and have to put everything behind glass, which is really annoying). But I also don't want to make some sorry photo copy...
No. The thing that I think is going to be difficult is designing the place to welcome both gamers and non-gamers, and advertising and marketing to gamers and "soccer moms" without feeling like one or the other doesn't belong. Surprisingly this is something that Gamestop does a really good job of.
I understand what you're saying. And that was the first thing I researched. What I found out is that, although video games have not been out for that long, the video game industry never suffered during any type of economic recession. So instead of families going overseas for vacation they can...
I will be opening it fall of this year. I think I have some great ideas about how it should be operated but I want your opinion. What do you like in your video game stores. What don't you like?
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated!
