Recently went into a gamestop for the first time in a while. Immediately wondered what happened. $25 dropship shirts, OLD (5, 6 year +) titles for $30+, just kinda barebones over all. Sorry that happened to you bud, hopefully you don’t get bullshitted if you try to fix it.
But they sell retro games too! Yeah, that little shelf in the middle beside the shirts. No, the really skinny one. The one with one obscure GameCube game, 2 OG Xbox games, and a bunch of crappy Disney Channel DS games. Yeah, that’s the one. They sell retro games!
This happens all the time. They tried to pull it on me in store like a decade ago, and then just last week I was in a store where they tried to pull it on some dad that was there buying a console for his kids.
If you complain, they WILL fight it and say that it's still new.
Back when I used to shop at GameStop they would open all of the games, take out the disc or the cartridge and put them behind the counter and then put the empty box on the shelf. Technically new, but that is not even the correct box.
This is normally good advice, but usually “the manager” is the only person in the store at a gamestop. The best way to get a refund is to waste their time and don’t let any other customers check out. Eventually they will give in, but you need patience and possibly to deal with angry people behind you.
If you want to be a real d-bag you down sell every game another customer picks up, as well…
Likely not, you wouldn’t have anywhere to get that labeling other than them selling it to you. You can always call them first and tell them what happened, get return authorization. They should be willing to accept a return on a new product that doesn’t come in the original packaging. In fact with Gamestop if you have a local store they might accept the return there, I would think a store employee would be more sympathetic.
Yes, I know. In this case though it appears to be an online transaction not in store so no cash isn't an option. That said, as I pointed out, generally even that won't be the case most of the time. It's just the worst case.
Bruh, stand up for yourself. If they claim that, you point at the box you just posted a picture of and go “No, this is what you sent me, and it isn’t new. I ordered a NEW game, not a Gamestop open box special.”
If they really won’t budge THEN you do a chargeback as others are advising, but that shouldn’t be your first response.
Not sure why you’re all over this thread insulting me? As I said elsewhere, I already tried to call and return it and they didn’t buy my story over the phone
I’m sorry, I think something I said must have been misinterpreted? Am I not supposed to reply to people in my post lol? People told me to call them, so I told people that I already called them. Do you have any other suggestions?
