So much hate for GameStop - is it justified?

Well they take games for 5 bucks and sell for 50, so yes I see an issue.

No, people give them games for 5 bucks, and they will sell it for $25 - $35, no one forces anyone to trade in at a lower value, infact ebay or craigslist is a better choice on two ends

 

1) You get more money, but sell it less than Gamestop

2) Someone buys the game cheaper than at Gamestop

There are two problems though

1) Ebay: might not get paid, might just get ripped off

2) Craigslist: might get murdered by psycho

All options require more effort than dropping it off with Gamestop, but thats the price you pay.

I will give one good thing to gamestops used games policy, I buy a used game, I get 7 days to return the game and exchange it for another, thats a pretty good deal, especially if you buy something and find out you hate it.

I do same thing, suppose I should have said that it's also the blind consumer's fault for trading their games in for pocket change.
