I'm have a sealed red dead redemption playing card deck and the "not for resale" copy of the game for 360

i love you op. have an open copy but the collector in me needs this!

I was in the best buy in Bloomington, MN and inside a clearance bin was several sealed box set copies of Depeche Mode "Sounds of the Universe" Box sets marked down from $89.99 to $9.99. Haven't heard the album but figured i'd check it out for 10 bucks and i'm a sucker for a cheap collectors...

i 100% agree. i can't stand when any store puts stuff in a glass case but you can't actually shop it. the games are easy enough to fan out so that you can see all the titles of cartridge games

i would say that not buying items from thrift stores because you can't read or understand return policies is as you say, "asinine" at best. goodwill and savers both do exchanges on their items within 7 days if it doesn't work. even if the item says "no exchange" on it, they are still...

i agree that some stores do vary an insane amount in their pricing of games. this comes from a lack of training and also having different employees pricing the same product. i actually do all the video game pricing at my location so that the pricing is consistant and usually close to accurate...

goodwills color system is a way to clearance out the oldest product. it is not a sale, it is a clearance to get rid of old product. since we put out 8000 pieces a day we decide to put out items that will sell at full price instead of half price. why take up valuable real estate to sell a $3...

if we lower prices on items, it also limits the number of items that are put on the floor. the 2 things that influence sales the most are fresh product and shopability. if the floor is too crowded then sales decrease

it's not that we don't want resellers to shop with us, we just also want the casual consumer. if the casual consumer doesn't ever see the "great deals" then they shop less, which is bad for our business in the long run. resellers are obvious by their shopping habits and they usually try to...

I'm sorry that you don't agree with the logic but that's the only way that we can continue to put out 8000 pieces a day. According the vast reports that we use to study shopping habits, if an item is going to sell, then 75% of them sell in the first 2 weeks, the 3rd week 15%, and the 4th week it...

If an item doesn't sell, the customers have told us that for whatever reason that they didn't want it. Wether they didn't buy it because of the price, dirty, or even just didn't have the "right" customer come in, they still told us they didn't want it. If we lowered the price we would be...

i skimmed through this thread and i just wanted to make a few quick points as a manager of a major chain thrift store. no, savers does not sell consoles that don't sell to 3rd world countries. they do that with clothes, but most children in those countries don't really care much about ps2 fat...
