$54.99 is WAY too much for a used game! I would rather spend the extra $5 to get a brand new one. This guy should've been smacked upside the head for actually buying the game used at $54.99 in the first place. I hardly ever shop at GameStop. Their prices are ridiculous!

Seriously for $5 more he would get it new and the code he wanted.

Well, some games do not come with any DLC prepackaged or anything like that, so buying used is good. I use to get from Gamestop all the time by getting used games at $54.99 and taking them back for a full refund within 7 days. So, I guess I was actually screwing Gamestop over by giving them no money and them letting me borrow games lol.

Some games I have gotten before had unused DLC cards and stuff like that in it, including a copy of DAO. I have Gamefly now so I could care less if anyone sues them lol.

No they would make money off the money they held on to for those couple of days through investments. It's why when you purchase or return something that you paid for with a credit card, the money takes about 1-2 business days to show up on the statement, the credit card company is cashing in by holding it.

They didn't keep my cash but a couple of days, because I used cash lol. I don't think they had time to put money in their safe before I would be back there getting a refund!
