[quote name='Spacepest']You know, maybe this is just me but...I try not to buy consoles used. Especially from places like Gamestop. It has to be something completely retro and rare, no other way to get it kind of thing for me to consider buying a console used. Video games used, no problem. But I'm picky like that, not buying used consoles and accessories like controllers.
I had a friend that worked in a used Mom and Pop type video game store and he used to tell me horror stories about consoles they took in trade. Besides most of them being dirty, the worst console he ever seen actually worked when they took it in for trade. They left on the counter in the back room, and when they went back later to clean it up for sale, roaches crawled out it. Ewww. Plus they would refurbish consoles, and he told me they would find all kinds of wierd things inside them once they cracked them open for repair (cart based consoles would have food, used cigarettes, and the occasional joint stuck in them. Disc based consoles would usually have things like credit cards, kids baseball and Pokemon type cards stuffed in them).
And if I bought a used console from Gamestop and it died before the 30 days were up, you can be damned sure I would take it back. Take it back and buy a new one![/QUOTE]
Wow! That's gross! Yea man some people don't know how to take care of their stuff...I've found some stuff when people trade in their systems...my co-worker found a porno once, I usually find non adult movies. But at my store we are ultra picky...if something is really nasty looking we refuse it lol I'm not gonna touch other peoples nasty crap! Ewww...
