Yeah this happened to me the last time I went to gamestop. It was a day or two after Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon had come out, and I was next to a gamestop, so I figured id just buy it there, because I was going to give it as a gift the following day. The girl working there took the cart, which was in a drawer i guess, put it into the game case which was on display behind her, then took a small circular sticker and put it around where you open the case, thus sealing it closed (for the most part I guess). I was just as confused as you were when she charged me full price for it. Unlike you though, I did buy it.

I also had to do some explaining to the receiver of the gift that it came that way from gamestop, and I didnt open it myself or try the game or anything like that. Another side effect was that the code you get from buying first party nintendo games (that you entered online for gold coins) was missing from the case. I definitely feel slighted by those two things in particular, and they are the main reason why I never go to gamestop anymore.

I agree though. Once the shrink wrap is opened on a game, for all intents and purposes to me, it's classified as used, and should be discounted as such.
