How knowledgable is the Gaming guy/girl at the store near you?

I no longer go to the EB Games by me because of an incident I had with them.

I went there one afternoon to buy a used PS2 network adapter from them for my brother's PS2. When I got home and opened it I saw that the disc was discolored and that the tiny pins inside the network adapter that connect it to the PS2 had been damaged. I took it back that night to get a refund and was told that all sales of used videogame equipment are final. So I left the store and swore never to go there again.

I did end up getting my money back though.. My brother had told my mom what happened and she told my sister. My sister is a lawyer and very umm aggressive when it comes to people getting ripped off, especially family, She picked up the network adapter and disc from me, went to the store, made a pretty big scene and did get a refund pretty quickly.

It was stupid on their part to screw me over since they have lost out on thousands of dollars of sales from me.

As for the other places I do go to, Wal-Mart, Future Shop, etc, I find the average person working at those stores only knows about the most popular games and that's it.
