We should stop shooting each other and t-bagging each other and having civil wars with each other when we really need to stand up and fight for our rights as gamers.Gamestop makes a fortune off of trade in's and when people buy used games.

Lets say they give you 20 dollars for MW2 , Then they will resale it to another gamer for 55 dollars and make a huge profit. By doing this, Game Stop gains a lot, we gain five dollars, and someone else got ripped off.

What i am proposing is to never buy a new game from Gamestop or buy a used game. Instead just buy from another company such as Walmart,Best buy,Target, ETC. You can just sell the game yourself to another person for 40$ when the used price for a game is 50$.

You = profit 40$
Buyer = profit 10$
Game Stop gets NOTHING.

Edit:
Surefire wrote gamestop is a monopoly. meaning it is the only place to buy a video game. Does anyone in america remember EB games? gamestop bought them out. How about Rhino games? gamestop bought them out as well. I dont know about the game companies in the UK so i cant speak for them. Gamestop buys the smaller companies and that makes them the only ones to buy video games from. Yes you can buy from amazon or walmart but those arent the first places people think of when buying video games. they think of a video game company.....Gamestop.
Tiered Trade Offer

Get 10% extra in-store credit when you trade any game, 20% extra when you trade 3 or 30% when you trade 5 or more.
This is a current trade in offer at Gamestop.com. Does Gamestop think we are dum! 1 game = 10% but 3 games = 20% WTF [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Have to? They are making millions per minute.The don't HAVE to be ripping of gamers for a lot of money! Think about all the times you bought a game then sold it back. You got back nothing and yet the used price is only ten dollars lower.

Gamestop hardly makes profit on new games,thats why they resell our used games for such a high price. When you purchase a new game that $60 goes to multiple company's:the publisher,the developer,the actual manufacturer of the game disc and finally the retailer.
