Aside from the fact that ad is full of crap (8 dollars for a 60 dollar game, lol no) it wasn't that good outside of the nut kicking, which I am sure other ads do better.

I think $8 is exaggerating a bit much. They give you more like $20 for your $60 game, which is still pretty pathetic if you bring it back sooner than a week and it's still in great condition.

but the problem is these anti gamestop morons need to stop wasting money on games they're gonna get tired of so easily

Gamestop sucks. [Worked there for 2+ years]

The ridiculous trade values aren't even the main reason GameStop is garbage, I can't stand the pushing of the cards/reserves. (Although the lol worthy trade values certainly help.)

Well my problem with gamestop isn't that they give so little money for used games (Seeing as I don't sell any there), it's that they put such a high price on it after giving such little money.

I'm sure if you had a reselling store you'd do the exact same thing to gain profit.

The real problem is that they don't have a choice here.

They have so many stores and so many employees and waste so much money doing all the maintenance and upkeep for their stores that they HAVE to rip people off like this to even make a little profit.

It's like the fat kid in the pool who can't swim and when his floaters break he latches on to you and takes you down with him when really he should just sink and die on his own.

Ha, store upkeep?!
The counter and drawers at the store I worked at were the original fixtures from when it was a Funcoland. Those damn drawers nearly broke my foot on several occasions. >_>

I honestly don't see how they make such little profit when they practically have a monopoly on the used game business and I doubt they sell less new games than most other places.

I did have a drawer filled with PS2 games fall with the corner on my foot turning my toe a lovely shade of purple for a day or two. I somehow managed to not start yelling out expletives in front of the kid at the counter.
The second time it happened I didn't have as much restraint. <_<

By the way I am leaving the employ of Gamestop this month and a lot of the stuff we do is pretty dumb!

But I have always found it pretty hilarious that people act as if having lower trade values than what someone would like is a rip off. If you don't like it, go somewhere else! Seriously, no one forces anyone to trade with Gamestop. If you want to use ebay, go ahead. Really, no one is stopping anyone. Gamestop offers a really quick and really easy way to trade games back in for other games.

I don't trade in a lot but when I do I wait until stuff like 40% more so I can get like 43 dollars for my newer games, or I'll just ebay stuff too.

Haters gonna hate.

Glyde does 10% also (or they used to, they might have raised it). Shipping is very fast and convenient, but you do have to pay for it, so there's a decent cut there.

I've bought and sold on Glyde and never had a problem, I really like it. If I still bought/sold used games I would use it more but screw that.

As much as I hate gamestop and think their business practices are despicable, this. If you don't want $10 for your used game, don't trade it in!
