Post Seriously now, wtf kind of business is Gamestop running here
Gamestop is fairly good about trade in values for REALLY OLD games. They give you around $3-5 per Gameboy Advanced game as store-credit. But when it comes to trading in newer games, HOLY SHIT, cover your ass.

Madden 09 trades for $26 right now. Understandable, considering how much it blows and has been out a couple months now..

Far Cry 2...released late last month, now going for $25???? Are you kidding me? COD4 $20, Fallout 3 $30...sell games and give in-store credit for trade-ins at half the going price, what's the F*CKING point?

Other times I have managed to trade-in a rare gem for $40-$45 that's been out for a month+. Who are the dicks behind this atrocity, I can't afford to buy games and sell them back at half price in such poor economic times. What are they thinking...

Isn't that how they should work? Buyback at half the original price? I don't see how you think you should get more than that from a store.

Maybe have a system that makes sense. Like a depreciation by a certain amount over a set time.
