bryans7 02/19/20 12:18:09 PM #2:	Merchandise sales are a success for GameStop these days, according to retail managers, who say that sales of plushies, statues, and clothing are all up. People love buying stuff related to their favorite games and shows, said one manager. The focus shifted from video games to collectibles, because when you sell a new game, its only like a 20% profit, said a former manager, but collectibles is 50%. Well that makes more sense now. But while the company is cautious about shipping physical games to stores, its reaction to merchandise can sometimes be overzealous. If we sell one item, we immediately get shipped a ton more to replace it, said an employee. These items sit moldering. I think the buying team [at corporate] needs to calm down. Some managers noted that they had received lots of collectibles in-store, many of which go unsold. I think theyve bought too much stock, said one. I had boxes of [Funko] Pops in my storeroom that were going nowhere. And they still find a way to fuck it up. --- https://imgur.com/g8JFMhA <cite>bryans7 posted [p:934593873] in Gamestop e...

MegamanX 02/19/20 12:48:40 PM #8:	A new game profit is maybe like $5 A used game profit is actually 13% so even worse than the article stated.
