[quote name='IAmTheCheapestGamer']LOL FOne, I don't think they had anything of real worth there. And well, once I brought up one copy of the MGS 3 guide, the guy asked if there were any others. I said yeah, about 14.
He then told me that they'll just 'end up throwing them out', so I snagged them all so they didn't end up in the dumpster.
And, the last time I headed out that way, they had NOTHING in the way of guides even OUT anymore.
I've been seeing that from ALOT of EB/GS stores lately though, as I think it must be then when they sift through to see if there are any pennied guides to 'field destroy'.
EDIT: Of course, those stores whose guide sections completely disappeared usually disappeared after I came in and snagged about 4-6 guides in one trip. LOL So, maybe my local EB/GS stores have been given a heads up about the guides due to me.
It's happened at at least 3-5 stores I've been to in the last 6 months.[/QUOTE]
It sounds like the guy that helped you at the Columbia Mall may have been the guy that was working when I was in last October. They had a spinning rack by the register and the rest of the guides piled up under the games towards the back right corner when I was in. That EBgames is so small though my closet is bigger
I could see them putting the guides in the back because the store is so small not just to weed out any penny guides.
I agree I also think alot of stores get wise to the penny guides if someone comes in and buys afew/abunch. I got a huge box full at the Lycoming Mall last January as when I stopped by the guy working was filling it up and I asked if I could have them just for the hell of it and he was cool about it and let me take everything since it was headed to the garbage anyways but I'm guessing that he was told afterwards that that's a big no-no as they became very good at pulling them afterwards. No more missing afew as they seemed to do before then. The only guide I've gotten at the Lycoming Mall since then was an Advance Wars DS guide that magically showed back up about a month+ after it was pulled. I don't even bother checking to see if they didn't pull the guides yet at this EBgames when a new penny guide list is shared on CAG.
