This month's offer flyer at Game Stop had various offers where you'd be able to give in a couple current-gen games from a list and get a heavily marked-down price tag on upcoming games. The section on Switch games had a typo in the fine print and they'd accept ANY used games up to the Wii. I confirmed with the employee that it was legit and I was able to get 75% off of Splatoon 2 and Mario + Rabbids by grabbing some 2€ Wii shovelware and immediately reselling it. I was going to do it for other games like Odyssey and Xenoblade 2, but the employee received a call right then signaling the typo. Still, the wrongful offer applied to the games I had already preordered so I was able to walk away spending 40€ on them instead of 120€. Feels great.
Share stories about lucky/cunningly abused store deals, I guess.

I just wish they still had ps2 games, I could of made the snesorama archives again but nooooo after the first 40 games I was grabbing random shovelware that looked cool, never found any real gems apart from metal gear solid 2 if you can call it that.
As for the cost of the disc my actual job gave me staff discount and I bought the cheapest crap around, I still have the iso's.
In short I abused the 7 day return policy with piracy and miss it despite karma curb stomping me in the end, spent total of $30 on blanks, never bothered to burn some games

Well yeah, but good luck finding these games at this price ever, let alone before day-one.

Ok. I'd rather not go to a physical store and jump through hoops.

I got a Switch for $50 from trading in some stuff during their "trade-in towards a Switch" deal, that was pretty satisfying desu.

Shut the fuck up Onsokumaru, you're a leech on society.
When I was younger and my friend and I bought games we didn't like I would just go back and say that it didn't work and get my money back and buy a different game
>>382431823

>Walk out of Walmart with the game for $20 and I'm sure i got a stock boy reprimanded
Vendors are responsible for that shit. They really don't care anyway as long as games aren't sold prior to release.
I got halo reach collectors edition for 20€ cheaper than the standard edition due to someone writing the wrong price on the sign at blockbuster

OH MIO DIO ITALIANI, CACIATELI PRIMA CHE CHIAMANO LA MAFIA
>I was able to spend 40
>receipt clearly show 92 for both
what did he mean by this
>>382432294
It's the mark down. See on the upper part of the receipt how I got -20,50€ or -25,50€ for each Wii game I sold back? That's the total mark down I got on the total of 120€.
>>382432456
By the way, add to 120-92 the 10€ I spent to buy those four Wii games in the first place and you get the total price I spent, 38€ instead of 120.
I've legitimately started treating GameStop like a bank since that thread 4 years ago

You still supported the company by spending money there, retard.
You don't out jew jews. The only way to out jew a jew is to spend money at another jews place.
>>382427091
>spending money on jewish entertainment
Grow up
If you outjew a jew, doesn't that make you more of a jew than the actual jew?
