Trade-In
GameStop once had a “return ANY five games for $10 in credit” deal. I did a bit of mental math, walked over to the used bin, and sauntered up to the counter with five copies of Princess Ponyland Express or whatever for 99 cents each. The cashier looked more curious than weirded out as he rang them up.
I swiped my card and then gestured at my pile of used garbage and said “I’d like to trade in some games”. He laughed out loud, gave me a high-five, and said, “This promo has been live for weeks and you’re the first person to figure it out! I can’t let you exploit it, but just take any one game you want”.
And that’s how I got Read Dead Redemption One for the low, low price of high-fiving a Gamestop employee.
