I think game stop hate me these days because when I buy 2nd hand PlayStation 2 games there I mix n match the case disc and manual so I get the best copy possible.. Like fuck am I gonna pay for a good case and fucked disc I want my moneys worth!
Like I Saw Resident Evil Code Veronica X... thought ah aint got that one and then remembered the incident with Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec (Great box... No manual and Scratched to hell Disc) so I whipped open the Code Veronica box low and behold Nice Condition Manual as the box was I look at the disc... looked like someone melted it slightly with a lighter.... so i opened the box of the only other copy and checked that disc (box had water damage and the manual was well shredded) and had a mint condition disc! so i was like right ill have that disc and put it in the good case!
Same goes for Zone of the Enders, same thing!
I could see in the corner of my eye the store owner watching me getting pissed off but fuck em im paying my cash i want every bit of my moneys worth! He has even warned all his employee's too keep an eye on me, one or 2 of em are cool and told me that he said that.
like twice now ive walked in there and Seen USA Copies of games on both NGC and PS2... now im in Europe so its almost not gonna sell in a tiny ass town that im in so i ask em that these are usa copies of the games (showing them the NTSC) and offering to take it off there hands for half the face value (still alot more than what they paid to get it in) and they laugh in my face and put em back on the shelf... as far as i can remember that copy of Zelda Twilight Princess for NGC and Devil May Cry 3 on PS2 is still there 6 months later
another incident was, I was in game stop and spotted Resi Evil 4 for ps2 but it was rather expensive... yet still i was tempted so i popped open the box and looked at the disc, it was so scratched it wouldn't play, now i know a few home methods to revive cd's so I went to the counter (half to piss off the owner) and said "dude, im interested in this game but in the disc's condition it will never play. now i do have a few home methods that i might be able to fix it but it will be a gamble do you think you could give me a better offer on this game due to the lack of manual and poor disc condition" he was like, "no we send it off to our warehouse and get it resurfaced." i was like sure cool. so i figured ill come back in a few days and get the game.
Came back in a few days saw it on teh shelf opened teh case, exact same condition! I asked him about it and he got all pissed when i said "erm dude i was in here a few days ago and you said you was gonna get this resurfaced, i came back to buy it thinking it would be but it seems you waited till i was out of teh door and put it back up there" he was like "you dont like it, dont buy it then"
Every single time im there i make a point of opening cases and being vocal about my opinions but alas he doesn't seem to be able to throw me out or ban me since im a paying customer and doing nothing wrong
I still buy from there, but its always more of a case of I triple check the goods before i leave the store, him and some of his employee's are assholes, 2 of em are cool though
Side note: Wall of text is critting for OVER 9000!
