@burnedandfrozen: I don't know why but I just enjoy buying crap sometimes if it's dirt cheap just to have and amuse family and friends. The Wii may have been successful but I rarely see anyone playing one anymore especially on YouTube or Twitch.
I can make an easy $100 on ebay, amazon, Craigslist for a PS3 Slim or Xbox 360 Slim. I'd rather have the cash before I trade anything to Gamestop plus by selling my own items I take Gamestop completely out of the equation.
You get $200 store credit to buy games some little kid who didn't know better probably bought their games full price for $60 and then traded to Gamestop for $10 or even less.
Sell for $200 trade and they turn around and sell for $300+. I seriously hate how they screw kids out of their money. I've seen so many little kids being screwed out of their $60 games because someone bought the game for them and then Gamestop offers them $10 or even less for it. $10 is a LOT of money to a kid so they trade then realize everything in Gamestop's store is practically full price. Parents come in and complain and it's too late.
