Considering it would take about an hour to sell out of $2 games, it's still better then destroying them.It costs money to use up store space for things selling for $2 each.
Or they could give them away as some deal, give them to some other shop, ANYTHING. Why destroy them?
...Because they're not that bright.
Hmm, yet the EB games and Gamestop still has shelves and bins for Sega Genesis and NES games. I see them there every week I go there. :rolleyes2It costs money to use up store space for things selling for $2 each.
EB games does suck big time. Only reason I shop there is that I work for Barnes and Noble Bookstore and we get a 15% employee discount there since we own those guys. If it wasn't for the discount though, I would never go there.
Huh. The Gamestop at the Mall we go to seems fine. Sure, they attempted to sell us Star Fox Assault, but the pre-owned games are, quite surprisingly, in very good condition.
I don't really buy things there often, only reserve things. Even then, I never turn in used games because I'd have to turn in like eight of them for one new one. xD Yeah, but I guess they have to make money.
I become an EB games wh0re when they have there 50% off sale on <3
Those so called sales are jusst selling extra stock, all the good stuff remains normal, and the crap is reduced in price..only once did I get a good thing out of one of those sales...my PC controller, and my C&C pack (RA2, YR, Tiberian Sun and Renegade)
Why sell them?! Why oh why?! Old school consoles are the best man!
It's happened in the UK as well. GAME don't take in any PS1 games (leaving classics like Final Fantasy and all the other excellent games unbuyable) anymore. GameStation do a tiny used collection.
It's a sad fact that while music and films you will always be able to buy, games are not like this. Old classics will become rare myths, and we'll forget all about them. I heard PS3 Online will allow you to download PS1 games for a price, but I want the actual box and I can't buy online.
To me, it is disgraceful.
Lameshout: Lamers That Matter
I think its just the area you guys are in. Here to buy used games EB is the second best place to go. I've only heard of a couple times the games didn't work, and they replaced those copies here. Gamecrazy is the local rip off here. Their used games for ones that are new here are only dropped a couple bucks, compared to EB at about a five dollar drop. And games don't fly off the shelf at low prices. EB has MAd Maestro for 4 or five bucks, five copies. They've been their a few months. Trade ins yes, EB is the worst, CD world here, which i beleive is local but I'm not sure, is the best place to trade them in. They give you more money than anyone else does.
Yes, and those cost money. The percentage of the floor space the bins take up, out of the rent/heat/light bills, employee time spent ringing in the games that do get sold, sorting them, doing inventory, if the store still makes a profit on the sale after all of that, they're doing good, if they're not and it's cheaper to get rid of them that's when they're a bad business. :rolleyes2 :rolleyes2 :rolleyes2 :rolleyes2Hmm, yet the EB games and Gamestop still has shelves and bins for Sega Genesis and NES games.

I always get good deals with their sales. Like their buy one get one free sale.The hard part is finding one used game that's over $20 and one that's under $20. We almost got Devil May Cry 3 + Kirby Canvas Curse, but we suddenly turned dumb and got Devil May Cry 3 without Kirby.
