I used to do this back in my console gaming days (n64, SNES and Gamecube) to trade and to buy games, it was the only way to get to play.. i was just a middle schooler, couldn't work to pay for games..
And at some point i didn't like to get rid of games like Zelda's a link to the past.. but whatever lol.

Used to, now I just sell my used games on ebay for money and after their down sizing of their GI magazine I no longer get that. At this point, I go to a local game shop for my stuff (which is still rare) instead of going to them.
I avoid Game Stop. I don't like buying used and broken games. I download all of my games on the PlayStation Network for 2 reasons. So I can't sell or trade them in and because your digital games and your PSN account, can be transferred over to any and all PS4 systems that you buy.
Used to be a regular thing I would do when a new console would come out. I would take my 40-50 games I had for the previous console and trade them in to get money toward the new console. Then I would ask for the games on the new console at the next holiday.
Quit going when they stopped all of their promotional events and tournaments and such.
after the PS2 era, I haven't gotten a bad used game from them. Not sure if luck or better disc making by the console makers.
The Game Stop where I live is poorly managed and I'm tired of going in there and dealing with "know it all" teenagers who like to make back handed comments when they sold me a broken game (a scratched up blu-ray disc), won't refund my money (this has been the case whether or not I was with or without a receipt), and I end up leaving the store with the game I tried to get refunded.
Which is why most if not all of the games that I got from Game Stop have gone right into the garbage. Game Stop needs to have a sign that says "All of Sale's Are Final" because most of the time they just try to give lame trade credit back and not a refund. I'm like " are you guys not listening to me? I bought this from your store, I have the receipt right here, please refund it." and did they do that? hell no.
Game Stop's crappy customer service and Wal-Mart's lack of PS4 game choices are the reason why I do digital downloads from PSN. PSN has what I want when I want it, and the service has given me excellent customer service, not to mention I don't have to deal with smart mouths and low quality trash. Never had an issue with PSN besides poor internet connection.
I go to gamestop when convenient. Usually it's because I'm selling a console I don't want anymore. It's very rare they give much for games anymore. They hardly give much anymore at all for them. But they have good deals and sometimes I just opt for ordering on there website.
I've never purchased any games or consoles from GameStop but I've heard some mixed reviews. I'd rather visit a retailer and make my decision there and since there isn't a GameStop retailer here in the UK, I can't bring myself to purchase it online.
This is how I view Gamestop to be real honest. Anytime I bought a new game that was 60 dollars or more and took it over to Game Stop, they tried to buy it off of me from any where to 5 to 12 dollars. They'd always try to get me buy their used garbage when I wanted something new. I felt that was a rip off every time
Honestly I've never once had any issues buying used and new games from Gamestop. Yeah I know you barely get any money when you trade in games, but other stores do the same thing. I bought a refurbished PS3 and Wii U and I never once had any issues with them either. I've heard many people talking about how terrible they are, and how they had bad experiences with them but I can't say the same thing happened to me.
That video is a classic. So did anyone try to flood a GS store when they madly announce you can order online for a new PS5/xbox console?
I used to when I was kid but I'm way too bitter to ever use them now. The amount of games I had to sell those scabby fools just to get mere pennies back in the hopes I could afford something new, lol.
I must have bought Bully and Marc Eckos Getting Up back off them 6 or 7 times because I didn't actually want to get rid of them, I just had to sell them if I wanted a chance of playing something new

After hearing how they treat their staff I kind of lost all hope for that company.
I still hate how they cut their game informer staff, dropped my subscription immediately and with it the card to the store.
I regret not jumping on their stocks when they were dirt cheap.
