Can you share a specific Gamestop horror story?
A friend of mine had a horror story at Gamestop. He traded in some valuable limited - edition games. The employees at Gamestop didn't recognize their true value and gave him a very low trade - in value. When he tried to explain that these were rare and should be worth more, they just brushed him off. He ended up getting far less than what he could have sold them for elsewhere. Later, he saw those same games being sold at a much higher price in the Gamestop store. It was really unfair to him.
Here's one. A customer pre - ordered a special edition of a game from Gamestop. On the release day, they went to pick it up. The store said they didn't have the special edition in stock, only the regular version. They offered no compensation or apology for the inconvenience. The customer had specifically pre - ordered the special edition for the extra content and collectibles. The store just said they could either take the regular version or wait for an undetermined amount of time for the special edition to come in. It was a huge disappointment for the customer.
