I don't know if this is real or not, but supposedly there were some leaked price listing sheets from GameStop's retro game buying foray. Based on looking at this prices I'm even more perplexed (if these are legit) because A. The prices are more reasonable than I figured (note, I'm not saying they are reasonable, just that I thought GameStop would have gone higher) and B. The trade/cash value they are supposedly giving you for bringing them in is very high for the margins I would think they'd need for this to be a success. They are basically giving you half of what they are going to sell it for. With all the movement of this product (from New York or Alabama to Grapevine, TX) plus paying employees to take it in and others to refurbish & test it, I don't see this being very profitable for very long... Which is good news? I guess it is, I just shudder to think what will happen to all their product should this not work out... I'm just so sick of GameStop being GameStop.
