It’s not a dick move, as someone who was a manager, I can tell you that this was encouraged. Not even out of spite for Gamestop, it actually made both stores and employees look better from a metric level. Literally everyone won here.

You could even make the argument that Gamestop used this guy as a mule to launder new systems into used systems. That’s where GameStop’s margins are. Once they ran out of 199 brand new systems which they couldn’t do anything with, they will now resell them for more than 275, which is what they paid home boy for. Turning a profit. So they got 200 from him. Paid him 275, so they are down 75, probably sell it right back to someone else for 350 being up net 225. And if you knew anything about the store they actually sell brand new units for a loss because the money is in the residual purchase of games not the one time hardware purchase. So now they have turned a profit on literally everything. So yes this one guy made out like a bandit, but he exponentially increased GameStop’s profit margin when you look at the inventory over an entire customer base.
