I just got banned from gamestop for buying too many games. Pretty sure I have grounds to sue them. Has this happened to any one else here?

Ok.... how many games did you buy?

details, now.

10 copies of the same game. Apparently doing this will get you banned from gamestop, because it just happened to me.

>grounds to sue them

You're an idiot

They are a private establishment, they are entitled to ban whoever they want so long as it isn't based on sex, race, age or something else discriminatory

they are discriminating against him as a gamer

people who do that intend to resell the games, and gamestop doesnt have to accommodate you. you artificially deplete their inventory and put them at a competitive disadvantage.

Was the game at retail?

By giving them money?

>10 copies of the same game

You deserve to be banned for being a fucking scalper faggot

ok ill bite. why did you buy 10 copies of the same game

You deserve it. People like you ruin everything.

>collecting is scalping

Yeah, homosexuality is pretty discriminatory

Do you mind me asking why you were getting 10 copies? For some stores they're worried you are just gonna resell them online for a higher price and therefore screw them over (that happened a lot to the limited edition 3DSs and that limit was two!!).

>do a thing you're allowed to do
>get banned from doing things
Nice Gamestop mechanics.

>put money in their pocket and buy games for full price


How could anyone turn a profit doing this unless the resale value of the game was high as fuck? Also

>competitive disadvantage
>they buy games for wholesale price
>you buy it for full price
>guaranteed product sale for GameStop, and they don't have to worry about the games never being sold


Your whole comment makes no sense to me

You guys are retarded. There was no reason for them to ban him, they could have just denied him purchases pass a certain amount. Unless he did some kind of back handed shit to get ten copies, of course.

I fucking hate people that do this. Cunts do it with action figures all the time.

I wish I saw you doing it so I could follow you and slap your shit

>Collecting 10 of the same game

Admit you were doing something wrong already

No, you idiot. If you buy ten games from them, that's ten games sold. Even if you resell every last one of them, they still sold just as many copies as they would have anyway, and possibly more. They banned him because they don't want to piss off other customers by accommodating scalpers.

>Sup Forums suddenly has morals

m-muh scalpers!! fuck gamestop

If you are reselling, or scalping you got what you deserve faggot.
If you are trying to open a gaming den or supporting some kind of tournament scene then I take my first opinion back.
If you are giving them away as cheap/joke gifts then I support your vidya madness.

>y-youre not allowed to buy our products!

Hi Chris

>buying """"action figures""""
>over the age of 18
wow

...

>They banned him because they don't want to piss off other customers by accommodating scalpers.

this most likely

I hope you get banned from more stores, you piece of shit.

What was the game?

reddit

Alright, for real, why in the fuck did you buy 10 copies of one game?

I don't really understand why they banned him tho. I mean couldn't they just have told him "no, you can't have 10 copies of the game, come again if you want to make a reasonable purchase"? Why would you stop someone from buying games altogether? Seems like a bad business idea.

>suddenly has morals
Get out Akagi

>Pretty sure I have grounds to sue them.
no you don't
>10 copies of the same game
stop talking

>playing video games
>over the age of 18
wow

>Buying games from gamestop

>this vintage matter

I am dying.

Why did it take this long for someone to ask this?
What game, OP?

>Every election cycle, scalper goes our and buy ALL the guns and ammo.

>Every hurricane season, scalpers rush out and buy all the food and water.

Fuck you. And fuck the retarded people who plays into the scalper's game too.

Not enough details, so it's safe to assuming OP is being a faggot

>Why did you buy 10 copies
>Did you buy with a stolen credit card
>Did you harass them for said 10 copies
>Why are you dodging questions

Hello scalper

Is this the case of DANGEROUS GAS UNLAWFUL RELEASE?

...

I reckon OP's leaving out the side of the story where they tell him they can't sell him ten copies and he throws a hissy fit about how "the customer is always right" and how corporate will hear about it and pees on the floor like the manbaby he is.

Lawfag here, you don't you autistic shit. It's faggots like you who fill our judicial system with meaningless cases that the judge dismisses before they even get to court, but keep at it you autistic fuck I get paid whether the case makes it past the motion for summary judgment or not.

>gamestop is the shadiest unethical immoral business in the entire industry
>Sup Forums is defending them

I'm almost sure it's gonna be some localized weeb game with a tiny amount of copies printed and shipped, the kind of games scalpers eat up.

I fucking hate scum like you. I bet you asked for a discount. You're lower than a customer, which is pretty fucking low

>They banned him because they don't want to piss off other customers by accommodating scalpers.

Ta-da

someone who finally knows where the real money lies, and why selling games like this causes a problem

Seems about right.

Wait 10 copies of the same game, Why am I not banned then?

>living
>over the age of 18

ULTIMATE WEW.

>going to gamestop

battletoads

How is scalping legal is beyond me.

WHAT FUCKING GAME?

Funny because their employees literally did that to the Best Buy I used to work at when we were having a sale on 3DS consoles.

We had to ban them because they were just buying them with coupons and bringing them back to their own store to sell them there at the MSRP.

More like I like having the game I want to buy in stock

Depends: How is Gamestop shady?

>going outside

I don't see the problem, just go to another Gamestop. They have one on every corner now. Unless you were a fool and let them take your picture they won't know what you did at other stores.

see, Sup Forums fails to realise gamestop is shady as shit and they hold their customers to higher standards than their own

Shit I forgot my image.

>not gameflying instead

>Shadowrun
isn't that game an online only multiplayer game with offline servers?

Scalpers buy stuff, idiots buy scalpers stuff for high prices because its rare.

For what reason did you need that many copies?

>Shadowrun and fucking Rainbow Six Vegas
Vegas was a GWG title at one point, AND was a free pack-in with Siege. Nobody wants that game anymore, if anything you did that store a huge favor by cleaning out stock.

This faggot won't download itself.

>Shadowrun

I fucking miss that game, I played the hell out of it before Halo 3 came out and found it to be really fun

>It's okay to do shady shit like scalpering because the victim in this case is also not such a cool guy

This is some dumbass logic and if you follow it it also works in reverse.

After what they did with Xenoblade Chronicles they can go right to hell.

>Oh boy I sure wish I could buy new game/console/amiibo
>"Sorry we're out of stock until several weeks from now, but if you wait, yo-
>FUCKING GAMESTOP WHY DON'T YOU EVER HAVE ANYTHING I CAN'T RELY ON YOU GUYS EVER AGAIN! Even this stranger on eBay, on the other hand, has 10 in stock! FUCKING GAMESTOP
Is essentially how it goes. Scalpers force the price up by raising demand, and retailers get customer dissatisfaction, which is bad since that's losing future potential money

idiots buy scalpers stuff for high prices because scalper scum force them to do so

>if you own more than one copy of the same game you are scalping

nice logic faggot

Good faggot. Quit being reseller scum.

>gamestop is the shadiest unethical immoral business in the entire industry
How so? Pre-order bonuses?
Not American, so I've never dealt with them.

SWIM sold GameStop an original front loading NES that has a blinking grey screen until you adjust the cart right & then press reset, an original Atari adapter that works but definitely has been chomped by mice with an area of vaguely exposed wire, a controller that has a shitty B button & a couple Sega genesis controllers with a couple faulty buttons.

They accepted them but I'm afraid to go back because I don't want them to give me the boot right then & there. If they accepted the items, I'm not at fault, right? They will be refurbished anyway.

I own 3 copies of every mass effect

Sounds like a two man operation to me user.

If you aren't a scalper, negotiate it with the manager or district manager.

Also, why the fuck did you want 10 copies of the same game if you aren't a scalper? There are reasons but I wanna hear yours.

I see nothing wrong with that. It's done with every thing else, it's not like it's some kind of necessity of life. It's a god damn video game

If you can't get it from this GameStop, get it from that gamestop, or bestbuy, or amazon or anywhere else

Not my fault stupid ass companies want to make this Jewish limited release bullshit

I probably shouldn't have mentioned the price raise, since that's irrelevant from Gamestop's point of view. All that matters to them is they'll potentially lose returning customers.

>buy 10 copies of game
>take them to best buy
>use your gamer rewards card to get an increased trade in value
>use your best buy gift card to buy clearanced games
>trade them into Gamestop with during a trade in promotion

You can get thousands of dollars in profit in a few days if you know what you're doing. Gamestop really clamped down on it in recent years though.

Why not just have a policy of not selling more than X number of copies of a game to a single person? Banning someone seems a little extreme.

This, usually a warning is given before a ban is instated. Some people turn sour to the warning which forces a ban.

>Sup Forums always hated on gamestop
>The OP wants to destroy gamestop
>Sup Forums gets mad
The fuck? did I step into an alternate dimension?

>Company bans you from their stores because you bought too much
Somebody explain this to me. Is it because they don't want to buy more bulk of the same game he's buying over and over?

>not just buying one copy from 10 different Gamestops

>people are mad at OP for ripping off GameStop of all fucking places
Loving every laughs, you retards.

they cant ban you from all gamestops can they?

Reseller scum are worse than Gamestop.

Literally this

is the concept of collecting new to you?

More game stores is better user
That means there's more competition and better deals

Who's mad here? We are laughing at his stupidity.

no, nothing is worse than gamestop

Imagine if you had to pay money to use any torrent site like the pirate bay or black kat or gazelle or whatever. Selling used games is functionally equivalent to that. A player gets to play a game without the devs getting a single cent from them, and gamestop gets that money instead.

We always hate evil. We stand on the side of the just even if they have committed misdeeds in the past.
