Gamestop employee told me: "All of the used PS3 stuff we have is stolen"

I was shopping in my local GameStop. I was in the market for a PS3 remote, and noticed that they had a "used" one for $5 cheaper which looked like new.

I asked the guy what was wrong with it, and he said, "Probably nothing. All of the used PS3 stuff we have is stolen, anyway."

I was a little surprised by this, and thought he was teasing. I had been wondering how much used PS3 merchandise on E-bay is stolen, so I discussed it further with him.

He said, "If you look at the controllers and the remote, they have no wear whatsoever. I've had my controller and remote for a short time, and the ENTER button is already wearing. This stuff was probably stolen from Wal-mart, or from somebody's house."

Interesting comments.
