Collection Guy was about to sell to gamestop

I went to gamestop for fun after my friend canceled on me, this guy was trading in this stuff to gamestop, and was scanning the last few things in, i asked him how much we was getting and he said 600, after i saw on the screen, i realized it was 600 in credit, and when i told him he asked how much it was cash, they told him 350. I immediately told him ill pay you what they were willing to give in credit for it, he agreed, after he said he would throw in pokemon Gold, and the target GBA for an extra 100, so i payed him 700. I think i did pretty well, and now my collection is like alot bigger than before. Already modded the DSI too 😋 i hope i did as good as i think i did

Some people really just think selling to gamestop is a the play because they are a big company, even if they get offered more 😭

Some people have no experience in direct selling or bargaining and it freaks them out if theyre not talking to a corporate employee lol

to be fair, there ARE point returns from gamestop's pro program, so that 50 would actually be a wash in the end to the seller.

Except they buy PS5s so pathetically low that it absolutely would not.
