So Gamestop is having the promotion "buy 2 used games and get 1 free" It had me thinking, couldn't you buy 2 $40 used games and then 1 thats cheaper than $40, go to another Gamestop, return the games you paid for and get money back and keep the one you got free and then keep repeating the process. Here is like a dumb down version.
Buy two $40 games for $80 and get a $35 game free
Go to a different Gamestop, keep the game you got free and return the two others for $80
Use your $80 to get two more $40 games and a $35 game free
Repeat the process going to different Gamestop's everytime
Now couldn't you get unlimited free games by doing this? Keep in mind that you py for the 2 most expensive and get the cheapest free.
Tell me your thoughts on if this would work or not.
EDIT: If you return a used game within 7 days, then you get a full refund.

Gamestop wouldnt give you near that much money for a game you turn it, even if it is almost brand new

Sorry But No :/
You Wont Ever Get The Same Price You Payed For A Game When Returning It.

You could buy it, return it at the exact same store a minute later, and they would make it $15 less.

if you bought it for $40 my guess would be about $26 you would get back

but i don't think if he opens the game he can get his exact money back since he didn't use it. but they might ask for the free game back to or something.

HES NOT TRADING IT BACK.
Hes simply saying that if you buy two games you get one free.
Then you go and return the 2 games and keep the free one.
