The Ugly
@
skate - Some Gamestops in my area also have New games in GENERIC cases. I know you can trade them up at another store, but the wrong message is being sent to the store that does this. If it was a Nintendo game, the Club Points might be used. I pretty much pass on used games that are not CIB. A new game that is not sealed, let alone incomplete? NEVER!
The Ridiculous Good 
Sometimes the opposite happens. I bought a used copy of new looking Kirby Epic Yarn with enclosed Club Points on the cheap from Gamestop. They had a stack of them in the drawer all being sold as used even though they all looked crisp new. The employee told me the game is only available as used, the new games were retagged to used. The site still shows new as an option, but the store only shows used.
The Bad
Once I bought a used game for $2.99. The employee asked in an awkward voice if I would want the disc warranty. Gave him a rolling eyes look and said no. He told me sorry but he was required to say that. Corporate should really give the employees more flexibility.
The Good
One of my recent Wii purchases had a small hole in the cover and case under the Gamestop sticker, maybe a promo copy or something since it went thru the game bar code. The employee let me swap the cover and case off the only copy from the shelf even though I forgot the sales receipt. I have done this a few other times such as matching PS2 Greatest Hits Red Label discs to a GH cover.
