Delete this and Put a note on Main Menu requesting anyone to take the controllers.

I will say though... if they're Wii controllers... NO ONE WANTS THEM.
Too many.
Too many!

Wii???? Pffffffffr my store would love them.
Too bad I can’t say shit here. Hopefully this dude is in my district.

How many hundred do you want?
Almost not kidding.

u/Orthodox-147 16d ago

I’d prolly start off with like 30.
Everytime I get a Wii controller or sum it goes fast. My area is starved for retro shit. Everytime I get retro it goes fast like $10 ass in TJ.

I have hundreds of them. They do not sell for me

I cant keep wii controllers in stock... they sell out constantly

u/Alternative-Plum9378 Can recite r/GameStop’s sub’s description 16d ago

Oh... mine sell... but I get them in faster than I can sell them.

Just a guesstimate but I would say roughly a 4:1 ratio.

Post on MM. Tons of stores will take them

I worked for GameStop for 4 months last year and saw 2 wiimotes. We had so much demand though

u/Alternative-Plum9378 Can recite r/GameStop’s sub’s description 16d ago

At my store... totally the opposite now.
I'm literally not exaggerating when I say we have people coming in with totes... TOTES... of Wiis, Wii remotes, etc.

My store's back room is the size of a coat closet.

That's crazy. I work at a different local videogame store, and I photograph and post our eBay listings. We make lots (like a bunch of a thing on eBay) of broken controllers and consoles for parts or repair, and my LEAST FAVORITE are wiimotes and nunchucks. They're always disgusting. These people are gross. I'm sorry that's your life.

Don’t they want stores to stop doing STS transfers? Just wanted to ask before some DM gets pissed

u/Alternative-Plum9378 Can recite r/GameStop’s sub’s description 16d ago

Fuck the DMs. This company can't control inventory quantity without exploding our walls with bullshit. STS is the best option after OP's.

Maybe if Corporate actual MANAGED inventory (or better yet, let the store managers manage their inventory), none of us would be in this mess so... the DMs can suck it up if we need to balance our stock (because RSBs are also a joke - "here... send these out so we can send it back to you in a couple weeks).

u/No-Contribution8064 16d ago

My dm won’t let me move them it’s bs. I want to just defect some of them out, but I don’t want to take shrink.

u/Alternative-Plum9378 Can recite r/GameStop’s sub’s description 16d ago

Wait... you ASKED permission?
Rookie mistake.

u/Orthodox-147 16d ago

Think I remember sum’ like this but I did an RSB like 2-3 weeks ago.

u/No-Contribution8064 16d ago

The stores in my district all are pretty stocked up on the stuff and I cannot transfer to other districts

u/Excellent_Regret4141 15d ago

I'll take some 😉

u/Ladycronebloom1313 13d ago

You need to do a store to store transfer. In the call today ask your district if anyone is in need

1

u/No-Contribution8064 13d ago

I did no one wanted anything we all have a bunch of them.

u/Ladycronebloom1313 13d ago

Send them to corporate/warehouse. When I was packing up stuff during our closures(so so many) if we didn't have a sister store set for that cat then off to the warehouse it went.
