So today I was at EB Games, hanging out there before going back to my room to grab my workclothes to head to work at another EB Games (and to post about this before I leave, hehe), and someone trades in a bunch of SNES games. His collection included Earthbound, Lufia, Legend of Mana, a sealed Donkey Kong Country 3, Final Fantasy 2 and 3, and a bunch of others. It's August 1st today, a day after the summer sale that featured 50% off classic games. Oh well, I can't have everything right? The employees working there picked up most of the games and I ended up having to beg a really really nice guy who worked there in front of a bunch of customers for Earthbound. I ended up grabbing Earthbound, Final Fantasy 2, Final Fantasy 3 and a complete copy of Sim City (hey, it was like 5.99 or something). The price ended up being what I would have paid if I had gotten the games online (employee discount is 15% off, same damn thing as the CAG15 coupon). Hopefully this was a good haul...why can't people trade in these games at my store? :whistle2:(
 
I'm going to possibly get a job at ebgames soon and my friend is getting a job at gamestop. I was wondering if someone brings shit in to trade that you want, cant you just offer then the trade in value in cash and keep it for that price instead of paying the ridiculouse used game prices?

Just don't get caught. If you're caught, your job's gone.
 
I didn't really understand this topic until after I re-read it.

I thought you said he bought them for 50% off and then was trying to make profits by selling them back...which seemed far-fetched, seeing as how crappy GameStop's trade-in prices are.

Now I understand. Tought luck, man...
