    former gamestop employee here, the refurbishment center is the bane of the companies existence. Ive sent back so many consoles that they say they refurbished but look like it was just tested and thrown back into a box. Also never and i mean NEVER get the refurbished controllers, its like they actively try to give them all stick drift and say "it happened during shipping"

I often would tell people to go across the street to the retro game store as they would likely give you more than our pitiful options (someone came in with pokemon pearl in box and gamestop wanted to give $20 for it) this was, like, 2 years ago.

      That's not true. I've sold them games, movies and consoles that still had their receipts in the packaging, or the cex stickers on the box, from when I bought them from them, and they never once refused to buy them from me.

    11:49 not an original HDD cover. The Matte covered consoles still have the PlayStation Logo and the word "Sony" stamped into the plastic on them. That is an aftermarket part and probably means it is an original launch style console with a replacement HDD cover added.

      I understand that it’s a business and they need to make profit but that’s downright scamming people. Unfortunately they’ve been like this since the beginning…. I remember when I went into a store and some dude was returning a game that was just released 2 days before, it was a deluxe edition so it was about $100 or something like that, they were only going to give him $30, and most likely sell it for $70 or more. He threw a much deserved fit

    this could be quite clever if you want to return a console you bought from them. like instead of going in and saying "I want to return this console" you can go in and say you want to sell it. cuz then they'll start picking out the defects to drive down the price and then you say "HAH, YOU SOLD ME THIS!"
    like with the consoles without serial numbers, definitely should have called them out on that...
