A couple of weeks ago The School Girl made a trip to Game Stop and came home with a used version of Madden 2007. Unfortunately, we already had Madden 2007. We made plans to take it back and swap it out for something else.
I walked in to the Columbia Game Stop with hopes of trading in my Play Station One and associated games along with a version of Guitar Hero the wife didn’t want and my duplicate Madden. Firstly, this place had no use for Play Station One stuff and I guess that makes sense, no big deal. So I agreed to accept store credit for the two PS2 games (Hero, Madden) and then I had plans on buying a wrestling game and the wife on a different Guitar Hero.
“You have $5.25 store credit, sir.“
Uhh, what? Only $5.25?
I informed the kid that worked there about how my wife just bought the Madden game a couple weeks ago for $6.99 at their store but the thing was I already had this exact game. Apparently, I can only trade it in for another Madden 2007 after I have had it for one full week. Now how in the hell does that benefit me? I still had the stupid receipt. Gawd!
I was pretty pissed to say the least especially when I saw that I only got $0.50 for my Madden game that they sold us 14 days ago for $7 and will turn around and sell it to another schmuck for the same damn price tomorrow!
The final straw that is going to make me just become a renter and purchaser of brand new games and tell the Game Stop to “suck it”…the wife’s new Guitar Hero game that we got with our $5.25 store credit (plus a small chunk of our real money) doesn’t work. Aaarrrggghhhh!
