You keep saying recipe instead of receipt... is it a joke I am missing or something?

So I went to a store called "Meijer" today. It is basically the midwest version of Fred Meyer, which you will find on the West coast. I found a great deal! They had two of the original Darksiders 2 THQ Wii U games for 9.99 each on clearance. I bought one. I then took it to the nearby mall and tried to trade it in to gamestop.

Sadly, the Gamestop employee treated me like I was a criminal. I guess in Illinois you cannot trade in unopened games to any pawn shop type places. Not that it mattered, I was only going to get like 7 dollars for it anyways. I was hoping to get close to 20 bucks for it which I would use towards Lego City Stories.

Not only that, but he banned me from even opening it in store. He said I could only return after a 24 hour period and trade it in then, as a used item.

I wonder if I could just say I lost the recipe? Bwahahahahaha!!!!!!

I will teach him for making me waste my time and gas money, and buying a cheeseburger from the mall.

Phase 2 of my plan to get Lego City for cheap commences tomorrow. Thanks for the pep talk Vgcharterz! I will tell you how it goes after today, if I fail I will just give it to one of you.

The ban part was pretty stupid rofl. I did that with GTA5 on PS3 once.

Bought 3 copies for 16€ each.
Then I traded in 2 for 25€ each.
So the third one was basically for free. (I was/am waiting for the PC version anyway. A 25fps action game is not worth my money so its cool it was free)

Sorry to say, but it's a logical rule. It deters theft from other retailers that could lead to gamestop accepting stolen goods. My local gamestop has told me that if they see someone bring in an unopened game they can NEVER accept that game from that person. period. Never forget there are a lot of people out there who are shady as hell.
