I ended up taking almost all of it home and selling it on eBay because I was so insulted by what they were offering me. It seems they have changed a little, but not a lot. Repeat to have infinite sales without ever having to drop the price. Thats just a hypothesis though, no idea if true. Still though as you say they do have some good sales now and then, but definitely feel like it was better when I was little though that could be because I was little and parents paid for games haha.
It's easy to look at their markups and assume that they're rolling in money, but they're taking on the burden of immovable stock. Think of all the games that will never get sold, with the yearly sports titles as an example. Would someone consider buying FIFA 15 a game in ? This is before considering the storeroom and warehouse space required to hold them all, paying for the staff labour to trade it in, lodge in the system, sticker, and mark on the shelf, etc etc.
And that's just for one game. EB provide a fast and easy way to offload your games consider opportunity costs associated with listing on eBay, communicating with buyers, posting it, potential PayPal issues with scammers etc. In exchange for saving time, hassle, and absolving yourself of the burden of being stuck with a game you can't sell, you take a lower price.
Depending on your situation, it's either a great trade off or a poor one. Same shit different bucket I suppose. Since I am primarily a PC gamer I always check online comparison sites like cdkeys. Apart from the obvious Target, JB, Amazon, eBay with discount codes , there's still a few decent discount sites for console games like ozgameshop.
The best thing about Target having decent prices on new games is if the price is listed on their website, EB will price match them which is pretty cool. If and when I buy a console game it's usually for someone from the family and I do a quick search to find the best price and that's it. I take a lot more pride in getting my OzBargain fix for my own games, haha. Strahany, I see your point with the sports titles - but those games pumped out by EA are really not very different year to year anyway except for the rosters.
The trade in prices on those sports games are super-low compared to most games as well but I see your point. I'm guessing EB lower their trade in values during the double trade in periods or is it different from store to store? Can't wait for that one. I picked up Metro and Last Light for cheap one day and they became a couple of my favourite games.
Exodus looks amazing too. I'm almost wholly digital these days, I only go to EB for a contained single player experience that I can trade back a few weeks later for PSN credit. Even less considering their other expenses.
I know sometimes people feel like they are getting ripped off but you gotta compromise somewhere, can't have really cheap games and high trade prices, they are still a company and have to make money somehow.
