If you can...shop around for it. They only give 80% of the Store Credit Value if you want Cash. Depending on the console. The issue is that I'm Fairly sure that any of their deals (Such as the Extra $50 for Wii U/PS3/360) is ONLY if they're traded in for store Credit. The Following are the TRADE CREDIT Values for all current Gen Systems. {Spoiler}Xbox 360Xbox 360 S Console (slim) 320GB + Wireless Controller $80

Yeah...... Seriously Just go to a Pawn Shop and Ask them, at the very least if you're questioning you can Pawn it and possibly get it back within 90 days. You'd probably get the same value on pawn (not sale) as you would selling your console to GS. |

As a former employee, I vouch for that. The working experience was terrible, but thankfully I had some of coolest coworkers, some of them even friends, to help make things less stressful. That's probably why I didn't last there very long. I was always told by the customers that I was very helpful and honest about their questions. At times I would recommend them a great game that was cheaper in price over the brand new, but lousy, $60 game. I wanted customers to be satisfied with their purchase so that they can come back, not sell them a terrible game because it costs more, thus leaving with a bad experience. But hey, that's corporate America for you. Yeah that report is more or less 100% accurate. Being a Third Key was also one of the most hapless experiences in retail I've ever heard of and I don't know why anyone would ever take that position. All the responsibilities of management. All the barely above minimum wage pay of a cash register jockey. But yeah, as Gamestop employees we were mandated by corporate to be as hardline on preorders and subscriptions (the rewards card now) as humanly possible. If it wasn't blatantly illegal, corporate would probably make us hold customers at gunpoint to make them get a subscription to that shitty magazine. I actually got yelled at by my manager at my last go-round at Gamestop for getting a preorder because he was going to do it anyway and that I didn't have to work for it. But he was a miserable bastard, even for a Gamestop management type. |

Is it sad that the place that is probably the best chance of me being employed right now is on number 3 on that list ? |

You'd probably get the same value on pawn (not sale) as you would selling your console to GS. Granted, but I was more thinking of the fact that you could get the item back for what they put into it (Plus reasonable interest of course) not have to pay nearly 4x as much for the system simply because it's in their hands. |
