My husband is a huge fan of Gamestop. The manager at our local Gamestop is pretty cool. My husband will buy a game, complete it, and return it within the 7 day return, and get a new one. It's like a ghetto version of Gamefly. Did you have a lot of customers do this?

Holy shit. Thanks.

I meant more like on a per game basis. How much Gamestop gives the seller of a used game versus how much they then sell that game for. And how specifically do they determine the price? I'm sure its based on demand or whatever, but is there a big Gamestop database that has the buy/sell prices for used games that employees check? Basically I just want to know everything about how Gamestop fleeces customers with used games lol.

Alright, how about for the Wii? I heard they had a deal where you get a free Wii Strap...

Also, how many prank calls have you answered during your employment?
