GS/EB Trade In Profit Thread

Does Gamestop have a rule about not taking sealed games? I got some cheap games from a Kmart clearance that I tried to flip at Gamestop. I took them in sealed and the cashier told me that he couldn't take sealed games and that they'll only take games that have already been played. I told him that I could take them out of the wrapper and he said "can't do that, I've already seen them!". :whistle2:?

Depends on the employee. I did the same exact thing with some Chromehounds I picked up at Kmart and I walked to the Gamestop next door and traded them in for the extra $10. I did however ask if I should open them up first but the employee just told me that they'll open it up for me.
Fortunately for me I haven't met a douche bag GS employee that refused to do it.
 
I used to open them before I took them to Gamestop or EB. With FYE I left the games sealed in case they refused it (out of the system or they had too many). No one ever said anything to me.

Even when I sent games into EBGames.com, I opened them. I guess it was 4 years ago they had a deal, trade in any 4 current gen games excluding sports games and get Ninja Gaiden for XBox for free. The cool thing was they sent you a $50 gift code that could be used on anything. I remember going into CC and picking up Nascar 2002 (that wasn't excluded) and some other junky games for under $20 total to mail them in.
