I really want GameStop to suffer some and force them to actually price their used games properly instead of buying them from someone for $5 then reselling it for $45. That used game should have been like $20 tops on resale. not $45.
if a used game sells for $20, how much do you think they will buy them back for? they have to buy it for an amount that allows an acceptable profit margin that offsets the loss of money on games that are bought back and then don't sell. that's basic business 101. the lower the sales price, the lower the buy back price. now, I'm okay with that. I don't sell games back so I don't care if you want to sell a game back for only $10 so I can buy it for $20, but I am sure thaht isn't what you had in mind, which makes you completely unqualified to comment on the used game market and its pricing. |
i know business and GameStop truly sucks at it. I support the retailer Play`n`Trade because they dont screw their customers. They actually pay you a decent amount for games. GameStop offered me $3 for COD3, Play`n`Trade gave me $8. So who would have screwed me, a customer, there? And Play`n`Trade put it on their shelf for $15. GameStop had a copy on their shelf for $24. Also Play`n`Trade buys and sells classic games too. I could rebuy a Dreamcast from the and multiple titles. They even have a sealed copy of Chrono Cross, for $250, in their case.
So its all about who screws over the customer. Its very obvious GameStop does. So if their drives down their prices on used games so be it. They can actually compete with good used game retailers with proper pricing.
