You sold your goods smartly. People keep trying to demonize Gamestop for what is really just common sense. Gamestop is a RESELLER not a BUYER. They don't buyback things at their sell value because then they can't make a profit. When people go into gamestop they have this notion of how much they spent on those individual items vs what they are getting. They overvalue what their stuff is worth because it holds sentimental value(if only from thinking that you spent your hard earned money on it).  What they never seem to factor is

1. You are not the only person selling that item to gamestop at the store level OR company level

2. Gamestop will never sell through even half of what they buy. IE For every Madden you trade in there is likely at least 50 more at any given store.

3. Your games are valued at a point of which they can give you money but recoup cost for the several others they bought. IE Buy Madden for $4, Sell it for 15 in X amount of time to make up for the 50 copies you have in a year.

Selling things yourself with always have the potential to give you more, because you are effectively cutting out the middle man. Now if you tried to make a business out of selling/reselling you would quickly come to understand the practice. And while thats a great idea for some situations most also quickly find that its a waiting game for a good buyer at actual sell value. Most things don't sell instantly and time is money. Many usually have to resort to sweetening the deal in order to entice buyers and at that point you are breaking into Gamestop territory.

Its amazing how poor the logic is of long time users can be. Like how many years have to pass before a person achieves the ability to create a valid argument? Mayhaps bias clouds the brain.

Okay... you didn't consider if Gamestop is paying less for an X1X and selling at a higher price than a PS4 Pro, that means the profit for a used X1X is bigger! I mean seriously people, think for just a moment.

On a side note, fuck Gamestop. It should be easy to sell a X1X on Amazon or eBay for $350+.

It's because PS4 offers superior experience and other consoles inferior ones.

Ipse dixit.

Buying up PS4 Pros and sell for profit on eBay sounds like an easy way to make clout!

May be on their store there is less demand for X1X than Pro.

Thanks for finding it out as my ip wouldn't allow me access. Crazy to think you will get more value for trading in your pro then the more expensive xbox x. 

Jeez you must be really really eager to get a ps4 Pro if you're considering getting a model you think is ugly. My advice is just wait to get one you want especially if you already have a ps4.
