How can someone rip off Gamestop i?

Answer 1

GameStop buys games about 60% less than what they are worth.

This is correct but pretty harsh toward gamestop. While they buy these games cheaper it allows them to do other things that other stores don't. These include there promotions. As an employee at gamestop I can honestly tell you if you trade in a game its not just that were giveing you way less then its worth. Gamestop gives you store credit based on how many of the games we have in and if they are able to move these games off the shelf. Remember there in business to make money not lose money. If you buy a new game and trade it in a couple days after youll get 30 dollars back gamestop will sell it for 54.99 plus if you have the discount card you get 10 percent off the game your buying plus an additional 10 percent trade in credit on the game you traded in so 10 percent of 30 is 3 youll get 33 dollars for your game. your looking at about a 20 dollar difference to get a used game that sells for 54.99. Is gamestop a ripp off I don't think so but that's just my opinion they have to make some money christ the companies in debt to barns and noble for 100 million dollars when they bought out EB Games and that has to be paid by 2011
