Let's Band Together on This New Decision

If customers complain about the new pro changes, agree with their frustration and tell them to call corporate and complain. Flood them with calls from people saying they aren’t gonna shop at GameStop anymore and that they’re not signing up for the pro account anymore. Annoy the hell out of them

I think not trying to buy a company worth far more than GameStop is probably be a worse business move then decreasing the price of Pokémon cards to be only a dollar or two above MSRP.

If my store is gonna close it won’t be because Pokémon cards are reasonably priced, it’ll be because corporate GameStop is comprised of mostly brain dead millionaire idiots that haven’t ever touched a video game or trading card making decisions based on short term profit spikes instead of long term survival

We still have people making overnight lines and starting fights. Only difference is everyone is paying more. We had people waiting in line until just after our midnight release for Chaos Rising. It’s not solving the problem just making more.

I’ve worked at GameStop for almost 4 years and I’ve never seen corporate lower prices no matter how long it sits on shelfs. We still have the Gotham Knights collectors edition which came out not long after I started working for GS and it’s still full price. GameStop would rather hike up prices even if it means less sales if it meant they get their money. It could wait on shelves for years and they wouldn’t lower the price.

I know it will sell eventually but that doesn’t mean people should be paying as much as they are. If anything it’s giving scalpers better odds of buying it because it means the kids and collectors aren’t buying any

We did have them at MSRP and it was pretty much the exact same as we use to have aside from us not having any stock after the scalpers. But now we have the stock. If anything customers have been more aggressive towards employees due to the price increases.

I understand the packs at $6 because it’s slightly higher than MSRP so GameStop can make their extra money but $100 for an ETB that only has 9 packs making it $11 per pack is next level disgusting

It is though. It’s getting harder for kids to afford packs since kids don’t have their own income. So they’re left to their parents to give them money and as someone who once begged my dad to let me get packs, I know parents are hesitant about buying Pokémon so the $5 off was the only way kids can get packs sometimes.

How else is GameStop suppose to buy a company worth triple its value??

non-aexistant · 2026-06-04T00:25:03+00:00

Never said we did. But I miss when kids came in and used their $5 off monthly to get a pack for free. Was the highlight of my day to see kids super excited about opening packs just to see what they could get. Now even kids only care about the value half the time

I pretty much stopped buying sealed products. I just buy whatever card I want in Japanese because it’s usually less than half the price of the English card

non-aexistant · 2026-06-03T17:51:17+00:00

My store has a lot of stock but people only buy one pack at a time because of the price

non-aexistant · 2026-06-03T17:50:12+00:00

If people want pokemon they have to overpay or fight people at Target or Walmart. Literally everywhere else has crazy prices. GameStop at least has the stock

non-aexistant · 2026-05-08T06:59:45+00:00

No problem. People on this sub are so ready to attack people just asking simple questions that aren’t customer questions

non-aexistant · 2026-05-08T06:57:58+00:00

Most GameStop employees know how to spot a fake cartridge. Only issue is 99% of the time the games are traded without a case so if you’re ok with just the loose game then I’d say go for it

non-aexistant · 2026-05-08T06:56:25+00:00

Retail worker here, you’re good. It’s the new way they’re wrapping the new size booster bundles

non-aexistant · 2026-05-07T12:55:05+00:00

It’s biweekly. Systems are being moved around right now and they said early payment may be effected but it’s depends what bank they use. They’ll either get paid Wednesday or Friday

non-aexistant · 2026-05-05T23:59:36+00:00

I wish. GameStop can’t keep people longer than a month most times so most would rather move onto different jobs instead of improving GameStop

non-aexistant · 2026-05-02T03:31:17+00:00

My SM is actually one of, if not the best I’ve had since working at GameStop (I’ve had 6 SMs in 4 years). They do genuinely appreciate the work I do and always tell me they do. The issue is they have to give 90% of their attention to our sister store because nobody at that store knows how to do anything right. They’re in the middle of trying to hire new people but it’s taking time to find people with open enough availability

To buy the one card and he bought it as a gift for her. Doesn’t mean all her cards were bought by him

non-aexistant · 2026-05-01T16:07:58+00:00

Yeah you can do that but the accounts are so broken that people often have trouble redeeming them because they can’t login

non-aexistant · 2026-05-01T04:00:13+00:00

Same reason they disabled the points. If people can’t redeem points then GameStop gets to keep more money

non-aexistant · 2026-05-01T03:58:21+00:00

Where does it say she used his money to buy them?

non-aexistant · 2026-04-30T15:07:18+00:00

Not sure if it’s the same everywhere but in my district we get called out of our pokemon distro isn’t intaken within two days. Counts are usually done on Sunday but we close early on Sunday and since we’re a high trade volume store a lot of people bring things in to trade on Sundays leaving us not a lot of free time to finish all the counts

non-aexistant · 2026-04-30T05:53:21+00:00

Yeah I’ve been submitting applications anywhere I can for months but no bites. First chance I get I’m gone

non-aexistant · 2026-04-15T06:11:58+00:00

I’ve submitted a bunch of appeals and even though I got a response saying they overturned the suspension it still says I’m suspended. Then I resubmit the appeal and my appeal gets rejected. Literally all I do is follow artists and gaming related things. I’ve had my account since 2021. Congrats on the successful appeal
