Gamestop - A new low?

[Angrist]

In my supermarket a discount was once more expensive than normally. It took days before one customer found out and told us.

Bingo, thank you.

Monday: Hey guys, we've got these games for $10 off!

All for-profit organizations are evil, and all organizations and for profit. :P

A "sale" like that might hoodwink an irregular customer, but as I am generally aware of the price progressions on the games I have interest in, I notice and realize when the ups and downs occur. So I do not get jipped.

Simply, a store like GameStop can run promotions that make them money at your expense. They also run promotions which can be used to your benefit, if you only pay attention. The Edge Card offers ten percent off used items. Combined with the everlasting ten percent off used purchases coupon, and on top of the five dollar reduction from buying used in the first place, you have twenty to twenty-five percent off what you would have bought elsewhere.

That kind of saving is worth grappling with them for. Unless you don't care to save money, or are ethically opposed to buying used videogames. That is your business.

Renwood, just out of curiosity, how the heck did you manage to get 566 posts in 1,5 months?!

[Renwood]

You know those thoughts you have but don't voice out of a sense of decorum?

I post those.

I sometimes type a huge post, put everything I want to say about the subject in it, and just don't feel like posting it. I'm the polar opposite of you.

I may be worse than him, I got 1,000+ posts in about 2.5 months. Either way, it's insane!

Truthfully, I also do that. The bulk of my recorded activity comes from rapid successive discussion on a single topic in a short period.

I just have a lot to talk about, and I'm used to posting on GAF. I noticed when I started here I was responding to like, every thread.. but now that we're getting more and more people and threads are made I don't actually look at half of them. It's getting to be like a normal forum here. There's many things and I'm only interested in a select few.
