So, I went into the Wall Street Bets beloved corporate game store GameStop the other day just to peruse and kill some time after devouring a delicious Chipotle Sofritas burrito that I had for lunch. I was pretty much the only one in there within a half an hour window I’d estimate, and I have to tell ya… the prices in there suck!
They were attempting to sell a used PlayStation 5 console for $479.99, when you could just get yourself a brand new one for $499.99 and were selling games like FIFA 2021 for $23.00.
Now, to be fair, one guy came in and purchased a brand-new Nintendo Switch, a brand-new video game, which he opted for the $5.00 more brand new version, since the game store only gives you a $5.00 discount on the latest used video game copies, and a premium wireless pro-controller.
While at the register, the employee tried to do their normal thing you’d expect from GameStop, and tried to upsell him on a membership, a protection plan, a screen protector, and a one-way first-class ticket to Valhalla should he die on his way out the store.
The man refused every upsell with the exception of the screen protector, which he then asked if she’d put it on for him, and she gleefully agreed to do so, which I thought was pretty cool, and service you would not receive had you purchased at some big trillion-dollar box store online.
Okay, to my point, I see that GameStop is now pumping to the Moon again since Roaring Kitty (Keith Patrick Gill) has made a comeback, and my question is… do you think there is any real value in these stores, or is this just a fun once in a couple of years pump for us all to ride up and make some gains?
I don’t know if the ringleader actually shops at this place, but I have to tell ya, for the prices, I definitely do shop somewhere else. The only purpose I see these stores actually providing is physical games and crap no one needs for the people who just can’t stand having money in their pockets and space in their rooms, homes, or basements.
GameStop is like a literal pawn shop when it comes to trading or selling, and if you’re stupid enough to take the one-sided store-only benefited trades, you deserve to get got. Am I to really believe that there are that many retards in this world, enough of them to keep this store going let alone worth what the market is currently pushing its overall value to?
I am generally curious here as to whether or not you guys apeing into this thing are actual shoppers at this joint, or are you just on this train for the gains?
