I’ve been looking for a hard to find game lately. I saw on the GameStop locater online that the store near my work had one in stock, so I called them to ask if they really had it.
GameStop Employee: Thanks for calling GameStop [insert long speech about trading in used games].
me: Hi, do you have X-game in stock?
GS: Hold on, let me check.
2 minutes later
GS: Yes, but we only have one and it’s new.
me: It’s new?
GS: Well, it’s new, but it’s missing the box.
me: Uh…what happened to the box?
GS: We must have opened it to put the box out on display and lost it.
me: If you opened it, it’s not new then!
By then, I was fed up with their “new” games so I just said goodbye and hung up. I can’t think of anywhere else where a store can open a product, lose the box and manual, and still sell the product as new. To top it all off, I bet if I bought this “new” copy, walked out of the store, change my mind 5 seconds later, walk in and return it, they probably wouldn’t refund my money completely because it’s no longer new and doesn’t come with a box.
