In a nutshell, If you have to get back at them, if you feel like justice hasn't been served, there's better ways of going about it than stooping to their level. I'm not saying you should just outright take their business (like I do, hehehehe), but that's even far better than just scamming them. And if you're not into retail or you're not an entrepreneur, then do what any loyal customer would do, and let me reiterate what everyone is saying here: JUST STOP BUYING AT GAMESTOP. DON'T BE A JERK LIKE THEY ARE-- CUZ THEN YOU'RE NO BETTER.

I bought five games from gamestop. I know they have the 7 day returns but I didn't get around to playing any of it for over two weeks, no shit, two of the five games were fucked up and wouldn't work. I had a receipt, couldn't return it less than a month later even though I bought it and it was defective.

Gamestop's trade in policy sucks and they don't even check to see if the items they add to the store stock even fucking work. So I look at it this way, some guy fucked gamestop and gamestop turned around and fucked me. Is it right to try and scam them? No, not really,but their shitty buisness practices don't help anything or prevent this kinda thing from happening. So in short, they don't care if the shit works or not, they just rip you off past that 7 day grace period.

Oh, and at PJ, I really doubt that ever vigilant gamestop employee exists, they're too busy trying to sell you preorders and subscriptions to care what the hell shit you bring in.

LMAO. True.

it just sucks so many of you have had bad experiences with the PEOPLE.

My local gamestop is like Cheers. Everybody knows your name. I walk in the door the dudes go Heeeeyyy! its PJ and the girls give me hugs. Im just lucky i guess but ive become good friends with the employees at my local GS. 
Granted the COMPANY can suck HARD. But i wish i could just have you guys meet the employees.

Personally I think it is completely wrong and would never do it. If I can't afford it, then I can't have it.

Always buying copies of Crystal Mine. Carts, manuals, boxes, CIB and sealed I want them all.

Yeah...I dont even need to read the thread, and really dont see how there is so much discussion on this but it's pretty clear to me.

Yes, steal from them...steal from everybody. Then sell the stolen stuff and get rich. Do not pay taxes. Do not wear condoms.

Let me remove the eggplant curse.

I don't like my neighbors, they're loud and not nice to me.

Is it ok if I rob them?

See Commandment #8 for your answer. Don't steal from any business, no matter how much you dislike their business practices, instead, take your money somewhere else. The free market and God will judge them.

Morals, ethics, who needs them? Go ahead and scam them. Just remember that you're placing people out of their jobs because of that. I actually respect people that work at GameStop, but not the rules that GS places on them. It's amazing how much hate they get, it's the administration's fault. So, I go pretty lax with them, and when something I have (that I got from GS) breaks, I don't return it- I fix it. Much easier for both me and them.

Well put. Is it right? No. Retaliating their against their questionable/wrong ethics by lowering yourself to the same poor behavior only causes more problems.

No scamming is not right.

If you don't like a business "get back at them" by not giving them your money.

This has been discussed enough. Locking it up.

See you soon in the next GAMESTOP SUCKS!!! thread
