    Fun fact (from a previous GS Employee): The POS system allows you to specify what games you want, and they allow search results for consoles as old as the NES. If you take the time, you can find stores that have copies of older games you're looking for and have them sent to your store. I got a complete copy of Silent Hill 2 for I think $60-70, on top of a bunch of rare PS1 games that were super cheap and in great condition.

      The should unless they are lazy. It's literally their job to AND it's "free" for them to do (with the UPS account they have). All they need to do is get the game, package it, and wait for the driver to show for daily deliveries/pickups. And I know this as a former GS manager.

      I assumed you had the request come from a store itself. I can understand not doing it for a random caller. If you go to the store close to you and have them call in the request I can't imagine they'd make an excuse not to send it. Having a random game show up from a store isn't ideal for anyone.

    You need to take the cover art out before you wet it. This way you don't damage the cover art. Also an antibacterial wipe works better for cleaning. Less wet and really gets the grime off.

      I take the cover art out and use Goo Gone on stickers. Then wipe with a paper towel with some rubbing alcohol on it (his paper towel is FAR too wet) to get rid of any grime, and the Goo Gone smell. Goo Gone works wonders on pesky stickers, but the citrus scent is awful.

    As someone that works at GameStop, most DS/3DS games people bring in for trade don't have cases, and when they do, my boss doesn't want to keep them anymore so he throws them out (but I take them when I can to save them from impending doom)
    So that's probably why the majority of the 3DS games you bought were just in those plastic holders, I'm sure my boss isn't the only one that gets rid of the cases

      @dynastymusou8906 Před rokem

      In my country, there are stores that sell new games which are not sealed. Mostly because they don't have fake display cases so they unpack the real ones. If they have multiple copies you will get a sealed one but if you pick up the last copy, too bad. I don't really mind, honestly. I will open them anyway. And I always inspect the disc before purchase.
      Also, not all stores work this way, luckily. 😀

    is there an option to just buy a normal copy or do they cost more for a guarantee of good condition?
