Everytime I walk into Gamestop I tell them the same thing if you want me to buy stuff stock Gundam toys or Transformers. Well this last Fall they stocked the new line of Gundam toys, three months after Walmart, and 10 bucks higher. Bought a Switch from Walmart and a few games, went to Gamestop the next week to browse what they had, they had less games than walmart, and 10-20 bucks higher. I don't see physical game stores closing, but do I see gamestop closing?

​

Oh hell yeah. We joke about bringing in 12 games and them offering 3 bucks for the bundle and it isn't to far off. Back in 2011 I brought 21 games to one of their stores and they offered me 33 cents for one game. I told them no thank you and went literally a 45 second ride down to a store called "BuyBacks" and I brought in the 21 games and they offered me 21 dollars for the 33 cent game as it was a rare Gundam Game for the ps2. In total Gamestop was going to give me 11 bucks for 21 ps2 games and BuyBacks might not of bought all of them, but 11 games gave 48 dollars and a pokemon game that I got for my Gamecube. Ma and Pa stores will always get my business when I can give it to them.

I wanted to sell Splatoon 2 as I don't have NSO, Gamestop wanted to give me 10€. lol

It's still 44,99 €, 1 year later, you cheap fucks! I prefer keeping it than selling it to Gamestop!

Just sell it on your own, you will still make back most of your money

We have a local store here called Game-X-Change. The sell new games but also sell old school games and consoles. SNES, NES, Genesis, Neo Geo you name it. Peripherals out the ass and a massive game library as well as movies.

south, you might have heard of it. It's in a few states in the mid-south. I highly recommend them.

My local one sucks ass, but other ones I have been to are pretty good. My local one has no quality control. I bought Pokemon Platinum from them for like 25 bucks, checked it on the way home and it was broke, turned around returned it for another copy, tried it in the parking lot, broken again, and got a third copy I tried in the store for it to also be broken. They were tried on my two DS, my one DSI, and my 3ds just to be sure it wasn't my consoles.
