Ah this thread is so LOL. My favorite part was when OP asked that one guy "do you even play poker?", as if this somehow impacts his qualifications regarding discussing the return of video games.

How did being such a worthless poster net you a moderator position? Must've been the 13k posts in a year and a half. You're cool!

LOL, the hits keep comin'. Hey Einstein, the reason I haven't made a serious post in this thread in forever is that you just don't get it, and to try to explain it to you for the millionth time is a waste of time and bandwidth. However, I do find your continued cluelessness to be entertaining, and the snide poker comment you made to that one guy is far worse than anything I've written and cemented you as a toolshed on top of everything else.

Basically you're too worthless of a poster to add anything of value. There's something we can agree on. Just stay out of this thread from now on and do us both a favor.

Mike Cuneo,

Your car analogy is a very good one since cars do lose a tremendous amount of value as soon as they are driven off the lot. While a game that is no longer new immediately loses some value, I don't think it's quite the same thing although I'll give you credit for making a good point.

Again however, I have said a few times that they could find a number to buy the game that they profit or at the least do not lose money in the transaction. I just wanted to be offered a deal that was at least reasonable. I don't think it makes a whole lot of sense to label a game's trade in value considering that how much they make from the game depends on the condition the game is in.

I would just have been satisfied if they tried to reason with me somewhat instead of lazily pointing to a policy. If they had offered me $40 I would have thought that was a reasonable offer, although a little low but not too bad. $20 is just insanity, imo.

MicroBet,

Fair enough, but I have been entirely civil and respectful to everybody who has done likewise with me. I'm no ghandi, however. People who want to be pricks for no reason are pathetic.

The fact is, it does cost them something every time you walk in the store. They are paying rent and employees and their electric bills etc, so when a customer like you comes in it does cost them something. Yes, they would be paying these costs anyway but that's not the point. Also, if you did some homework beforehand (research game, check into store policy, consider renting) then this wouldn't happen.

You should use this to learn, do a little research on things you buy. Since you are freaking out over $50 or whatever, make sure you do a lot more hw on things worth $1k+. I'm sure you won't, and just argue with the store/everyone else instead. Good luck
