See what Gamestop sells it for used, then sell yours for $5 less on Craigslist.

I guess your unfamiliar with their policies. This is no shocker TO ANYONE!Except you obviously.
Is this literally the first game you've ever traded in?

To be brutally honest the fact you picked SR3 over Bf3 or Skyrim in the first place screamsbad taste or poor decision making on your part. Blame yourself.

yeah you def should have sold it on ebay or something for a game so new you could have easily gotten $50 - $55 even with it being used.

Bro, as long as you have your receipt, if you return any games that you bought new within 7 days, you get a full refund...So you shouldn't have a problemtymann23

GS dosent do that last time i checked. They only do that for used games. Brand new games can only be exchanged if they are defective other than that they will not take it back even if it is still in the plastic.

hmm really they must have changed policies than. I will admit i haven't shopped there in a real long time now.

@Gen007, where are you located? I have no reason to lie, i returned it , got a full refund.tymann23

just looked it up and they still say that they dont take new opened merch back. Their words straight from the website

"Opened new merchandise may be exchanged for the identical item within 30 days of purchase but, with the exception of opened new accessories, cannot be returned for a refund."

If your store is doing that they shouldnt consider yourself lucky.

Yea, i guess so...Where to you buy your games now bro? On ebay and amazon? Gamestop's trade in credit is pretty horrible, which isn't any news by any stretch, but all around they're a pretty solid dealer.tymann23

they really arent though. They rarely have good sales besides the occasional B2G1F and the prices are always to the maximum on new and used games. Amazon is a much better place to shop plus you usually get better pre order bonuses and credits towards future purchases.

For example MW3 was at $51 instead of 60 on amazon at launch. I combined that with a $20 dollar credit i had from a previous purchase and a $10 off code i had and bam i only payed around $20 for my copy of MW3. You will never get that at gamestop.

Ebay is a much better place to sell. Much better in the case of old and new games as you can easily get the price that gamestop is trying to seel the game for.\

The only reason GS exists is because of convenience but you pay for that convenience dearly imo.

@Gen007 that's odd, hey you can try calling them, don't know if they're open, but i'm telling the truth, the guys name was Dustin. 610 857-0684.tymann23

lol im not calling you a liar. Im just saying that isnt normal operating procedure for gamestop and at all of the ones ive been to, they dont take back new opened games. Many times ive seen people get mad in the store when they come back and try to return a game the same day they bought it only to find out that they cant. So its ingrained in my memory pretty well.

really you paid 60 thank Mr government for the 5. ALSO WHY are you mad? they tell you what your going get before you commit to the trade. IF you was out to get the best price you would said no and looked somewhere else. Gamestop is a business they have employees to pay and bills. ALSO for the future, only time it's good to trade in games to gamestop when they have a 30-50% bonus trade in offer then little extra whip on the topping gamestop pro card.

Last week gamestop had a 50% trade in bonus when you buy a pre owned game. You know what i did? I traded in gears of war 3. original offer? $30 + $15 (50% trade in bonus) +$3(gamestop card) - $1 for the ps2 game i bought. $48 bucks same price i would mostly got off ebay. Thats how you have to work gamestop.

most time there 30% is pre orders so just pre order a game. Then buy the game and just return it right there. If you don't want the game.

hahahahahaha! gamestop is full of ****! i got mw3 day one then my friend accidently tipped over my xbox on second day so i got a ring on it and couldn't play the game. so i took it to a local store and got the ring off. went to gamestop to see how much they'd give me for it. and they were like "ummm we'll give you $18 since i see a tiny scratch on it" i was like you're ****ing funny!

Why would you expect anything different from gamestop?

Look, They cant take your game and sell it new anymore. Stop complaining. If you buy used you have 7 days to return it if you dont like. Dont buy games your not sure you want. Some people will buy it for $45 on craigslist. They are running a buisness. They dont even have to buy your game if you dont want.

If the factory seal is broken on a new game at Gamestop, the game is unreturnable (unless the game doesn't work) and you can only trade it in. But I think a new game is unreturnable at pretty much any store with the exception of manufacturing defects.

How does such a terrible topic get this many posts? My gosh.

Gamestop sucks but they aren't going anywhere. For many people it's the only option available.

As are all companies. It all started going that way during the Industrial Revolution. Before that, everybody traded w/each other for the things they needed. Afterwards, we are all forced to trade with . . .you guessed it . . . The Devil! LOL :twisted:
