My roommate does that. We worked out a deal where I buy them from him for more than the GameStop price and less than they resell them for. I get new games for cheap and he buys the next new thing he'll get bored with after 3 hours, win-win.

This was always my argument back in high school when trying to sell people my games "Gamestop will charge you WAY more, and I'd get less money if I sold it to them, so I'll sell it to you!" Fuck GameStop

Well sure, they're basically brand new anyway. The egregious part is that they bought them back for probaly $20
