It is nice when you can find a game like NCAA 14 used.


The sooner they go away the better. I've shopped around and offered people $2 more per game than they did on the trade in. Everyone (but GameStop) wins

One time my brother and I went to sell a PS3, and this guy and his daughter (about 8 years old) came in. The clerk said he'd give like $40 for it (can't recall the price). Said we'd think about it. So when the man and his daughter got to the line, he asked how much a used PS3 and one game was. They were going to charge him $200 I think.

So my brother and I go up to the man and tell him we'd sell our PS3 and a copy of Little Big Planet 2 for $115. We all got kicked out of the store, but he got his child a PS3 and a great game for a kid for barely more than half of what Gamestop charged, and we sold our PS3 for nearly three times what they offered us.


Good times... but yeah Gamestop is a rip off.

You were able to charge more because you cutout the middle man. This doesn't make GameStop a ripoff. If they don't make their cut how are they to stay in buisness?
So what happens if that system that you sold directly to that person doesn't work? If he purchased it from GameStop they would make it right. I'm not saying you wouldn't return their money but there are people out there don't mind selling lemons.
I am not a GameStop fan just to be clear. Best Buy is the best route to go for games imo.

Re: GameStop is nuts!

After working in game retail for a decade, I can attest for sports games losing value after a year. They don't sell at all. A used Madden 17 sells at $25 and they offered $6. That's 25% of the resell value, which is fairly decent for a year old sports game. Especially if they have thousands of copies traded in nationwide.

LOL, I've done the same and also been kicked out of Gamestop. They really hate that!!

Haha, that's not decent at all. I hope you didn't take that considering Best Buy would have given you $25 (or more if you're a GCU) for it.

I couldn't justify that in my mind.


I recently scored a copy of NCAA '14 on eBay for $12.99!
