Most scalpers don't purchase from GameStop. At least the smart ones don't. Big box retailers with a 30 to 60 day return policy. Idiots buy from GameStop. A person can't trash talk scalpers as people call them and in turn buy from GameStop. Gamestop screws the gamer to high holy hell.

Seems to me that the person that spends the money for a luxury item and overpays is the problem. That person's priorities are screwed. They have issues. Taking advantage of someone in this manner is a stretch. It's not food, water or shelter. If a god damn video game system or some other non essential product. A persons stupidty or lack of common sense is not a reason to defend someone for over spending on something that is a want and not a need.

So how does Gamestop screw people over on a non-essential product when people are willing to pay or accept the amount being set by Gamestop.  Seems kind of like its ok for you being on the winning end but when you are on the losing end of the deal the other party is screwing you ... perhaps I'm wrong, please explain the difference in your mind.

You can get more from other places then what GameStop gives for used games or consoles. As well as what they charge for a used game or console. We're talking used vs new here. There are many other choices then them who will give more. GameStop and scalpers are the same in how they sell a service or product. I understand how both work and don't buy from either. But to say its unethical is dumb. If people are stupid enough to spend the cash then that's their problem. No matter who they buy from. GameStop is a business, scalpers are opportunists who seizes a opportunity. I have a family member that works at GameStop corporate. The policy's they have are very anti consumer. It's a totally different conversation. Screwing the gamer was the wrong words to use. And this is not about me.
