Re: My set up so far...
The less stickers on a box, the better, but from what I've seen, there will no longer be a white/yellow color distinction between New and Used games. I don't like that; I think they should keep the yellow stickers, but have less of them.
Re: My set up so far...
I think "Modman" is saying is just off the spines. I would think the used games have to maintain a separate UPC code to differentiate used from new games. I just am hoping only one yellow sticker covering used game bar code. I think I own stock in Liftoff 2 label remover.lisalover1 wrote:The less stickers on a box, the better, but from what I've seen, there will no longer be a white/yellow color distinction between New and Used games.

As far as I know there will still be yellow and white stickers to differentiate between new and used titles.

Also, why use sticker remover? Just peel off the stickers gently and if they tear slightly start from another corner. If you run you out of corners and end up leaving some sticky residue just place a sticky part of the sticker back on the plastic and use it to pull the goo and gunk off of the case.

I think because glue underneath from a previous older sticker the new one rips. Newer used games I do get lucky when doing that tug "stretch" while peeling back.Mod_Man_Extreme wrote:Also, why use sticker remover?

Re: My set up so far...
Yeah, in the case of older and more worn games that have seen multiple trades getting stickers off cleanly without any goo gone or other sticker remover can be a pain.CRTGAMER wrote:I think because glue underneath from a previous older sticker the new one rips.

Re: My set up so far...
They said this at the GS near me over the weekend too. Said all stickers will be white from now on and one employee was pulling stuff to resticker. The guy at the counter specifically said to the parental customers in front of me "Would it confuse if all games were using the same 1 color sticker instead of 2? Well, corporate is making us change it." Or something very close to that.lisalover1 wrote:The less stickers on a box, the better, but from what I've seen, there will no longer be a white/yellow color distinction between New and Used games.

Re: My set up so far...
Hmm, it might be a test market or something. All I was told by my manager is that only one sticker per case from now on and no spine stickers whatsoever.Hobie-wan wrote:They said this at the GS near me over the weekend too.

Perhaps because there's no chance a sports game will ever retain any value. Come to think of it, none of my other games retain value either.CRTGAMER wrote: THANKYOU, THANKYOU, THANKYOU, THANKYOU! (paste 100 more times)
Easier for Gamestop Employees too.
Okay, I'll bite, why Sports games, not your favorite Genre?

Have you not seen this month's trade deal at GS?! All games are trading-in with an extra 50% bonus and the standard values on most titles have been increased by a decent amount as well, but it ends tomorrow the 17th!
