As many of you probably already know, gamestop is a huge ripoff when it comes to trading stuff in. But hear me out, this is outrageous what they did to me today. I went to trade in Assassins Creed 3 and Bioshock Infinite both in great condition, they gave me a whole grand total of $14 for both games! I simply just left the store when the clerk said that. Mind as well keep the games if i'm going to get that kind off offer.

Good I am glad you did not trade in those games for that amount of money!

If I was in the shop at the time even I would have offered more than that. That's a bit of a disgrace.

I take it you were trading in PS3/360 titles? You've got to remember as of now, they're worth incredibly less due to the release of next gen.

Also, it's business. Gamestop need to make a profit when it comes to reselling your games.

I know they need to make a profit but $14 for BOTH games? I can maybe see $14 for each game, not both. But even in that case that is still unreasonably low.

Just the business, better off selling them to your friends or put them on eBay, maybe even sell them on TTG if you have good proof and paypal.

That is how the market is nowadays.. A few years ago I traded in my PS2,controller,about 50+ games (Most in great condition.) and only got about 25$.. I know its PS2 and all but that was when PS2 was still coming out with games and such. Gamestop will never change.. they try to make money however they can.

They gave me $2.50 for Far Cry 3. Bit of a joke.
