I Ordered USED Nintendo Switch Games From Gamestop... This Is What They Sent Me

[@XXLRebel]

Well, on xbox digital games can be shared with one friend, so paying 60 bux while you and your friend can both play it at the same time it's a pretty good deal. Can't say the same for nintendo switch, but I think it's really convenient to access your game via your digital library. See no reason why they would cut you a deal for no reason. You have the option to buy it with the case for the same price so what's there to complain about.

[@sk8man2k]

Why I STOPPED buying from GameStop ONLINE store: 1. Missing original case and/or other materials 2. NEVER deliver when expected. 3. Cancel orders without explanation OR contacting me. 4. Orders simple do not show up 5. Trying to resolve issue w/ missing games, etc. at a store fails. 6. Poor customer service online/on phone. 7. Damaged items received. 8. Resealing a game and selling as new. 9. Online inventory never matches actual inventory. (i.e. order a used game and days later the order is cancelled due to out-of-stock) It's like the physical and online stores are 2 different companies, so no support from each other, except returning a game with receipt works OK between them. IMPORTANT TO NOTE: my local stores are great! It is the online store that they need to fix or close since it damages the rep of their physical stores.

I agree with you BeatEmUps. If I am spending $30+ for a USED game, I want the freaking case. I am old school and collect video games. When I get a game without a case, it makes me feel like the game is stolen (e.g. game not returned from a video rental kiosk machine, game borrowed from a friend and never returned, etc...) . I mean, WHY do video game companies hire graphical artist and spend thousands of dollars to craft game covers if they don't mean anything? They mean something to ME and I want them as part of my game purchase. Otherwise, reduce the price of these games.

Brandon Schneider Considering that the cheapest I can find Pokemon colosseum online (with a cursory glance) is 40$ and I spent 18$ on mine on GameStop’s site with an (albeit not original) case, I’d say that’s a reason there. GameStop also, getting away from retro stuff, sells the deluxe editions and such of games, where the only other place to really get them is online, sometimes they even have GameStop exclusive.

[@cgonzalez1189]

I haven't ordered from their website in a long time but you can ask for a refund. Yeah you're essentially paying the shipping company but if their website says guaranteed, you can fight it. I am sure GameStop also has a way to be compensated for late deliveries due to the shipping companies error. This is in case the customer demands a shipping refund.

[@Its_dr.proctor]

For real. Bottom line is he paid for a service that he didn’t receive. He should get a refund. 10 bucks is the difference between buying one of those used games and not getting the case, and buying it brand new and getting the case with it. Those dollars matter

[@jimjim150]

I'd agree, in the UK you are absolutely entitled to a refund on shipping if late. Assume it's the same in the US?

[@HeboEstel]

So, I work at Gamestop and just wanna point out a couple things (I'm only a couple minutes into the video and mostly responding to things I know people are bitching about in the comments so I apologize if any of it is said in the video) Keep in mind with preowned, people get the luxury of trading in games without cases and it doesn't affect the trade value at all. Because of that, we have generic cases and they don't cost any less to buy. If you're in store, the employees will usually understand if you want the original case and will understand if you decline to buy it if they don't have one. Switch and DS games are the worst, because most people put them in a cartridge case and throw the game cases away. It's absolutely a gamble to buy online, and honestly as an employee I don't recommend it. Retro items ship from the warehouse, which is why they'll usually all come together. Any games/systems/accessories that are sold in store could be either shipped from the warehouse or from a store. Most likely from a store, or a bunch of different stores that happen to have the game you ordered in stock. That's why they all arrive separately (and fast shipping is a joke on things like that, I don't recommend it) As long as they are preowned, you can return them to your local gamestop within 7 days of receiving them. Or you can go into your local gamestop and see if they are willing to give you the original case if they have it (in exchange for the generic one). I personally try to give out original game cases if I can, even in shipments.. but it wouldn't surprise me if other employees ship out generic cases to get rid of them. Your best bet is going into a store. Also, for the people whining about $55 for a preowned game, those are typically new releases and most of the savings comes from being a pro member which makes them $50 for games that were recently released.

[@camogirlkm]

@Honeybee All great points you made I've never gotten used games sent I've only bought new games & that's bc I'd be in the store looking & they didn't have it so I'd just get them to order it for me but like you said never pay for faster shipping. Could I ask you a question. When you buy a 1 yr replacement warranty from GameStop on a new console does that cover the controller to if it stops working or is that warranty just pertaining to the console?

[@HeboEstel]

[@justintantiongloc6987]

I think the "case" or "case-less" indicator on the website would be a great idea. That's how it is when you go to the store anyway, you get to ask if the game comes with a stock case or not. I remember at the EB (and also Funcoland) near my childhood home they even had a "newspaper" that listed all the pre-owned games they had that week, and it would indicate if stock cases were available, or disks/cartridges/generic cases only, and I used to pick it up after school on Monday or Tuesday, ponder over it all week, and then go back and see which ones I wanted were still there on Friday lol. Anyway, would be fantastic to see the case thing emulated online!

[@inaraoftyria3878]

Unfortunately, that's not possible due to how both the website and shipments actually work. A lot of stuff, especially games, aren't shipped from the warehouse. They're shipped from stores. If we were to separate games that have cases from games that don't, we'd have to have DOUBLE the skus in the system, which would end up being absolutely ridiculous.

[@haralambosmeimetis2188]

That was such a clever way to through in the sponsor of the video

[@rougeknight2614]

Almost halfway my man. Road to 1 mill. Nah for this channel it’s a speedway.

[@scapegraceirl]

Here's my theory: The people that return the games keep the cases for their own personal collection when returning to GameStop. I don't believe GameStop themselves do it.

[@chrismdb5686]

It isn't a GameStop issue, they simply get more loose games traded in than complete copies. Go into any GameStop and look at their Used DS/3DS section, they're nearly all loose games that were traded in without cases, if you're lucky there will be a few cases with the Used price sticker on em. Really sucks as a collector, because sometimes you can find a rarer title that's quite a bit cheaper there than online.

[@tresfordays9644]

Not everyone keeps the cases, for most it’s more convenient to keep all your games in like, a cd case, rather than finding shelf space for a crap ton of game cases

[@someonesdad667]

Dollar Shave Club should start paying this guy for his creativity on the transisition, that box got me, I WAS EVEN THINKING THE PACKAGE WAS A CYAN HEADPHONES

[@Jbayz]

I can't deal with having any switch games without the case. I've seen people throw them out and I think those people are dumb. Loose games don't even count in my collection.

[@TheRedFoxMcCloud]

either way people still prefer the physical copy so it's not all that bad

[@vivisect53]

I actually rescue a lot of game cases from being tossed in the garbage from local second stores that have the games missing or stolen, so they just give them to me or charge me $1 for a stack of 10 or more depending on the place. Its been nice to get some loose disks and especially DS games at Game Stop and have them complete the minute I get home.

[@RetroVideoGamePickups]

I hate loose Switch games or disc games, they are the absolute worst!!!

[@lordangel9553]

They have cases to fit many games in so why are the original cases they come in even needed

[@jacquelinebennett]

Cartridge games I feel are notorious for coming without a case if bought used since so many people pop the cartridges into a carrying case and toss the case. I ALWAYS keep my cases but all my game cartridges go into a case for easy access and travel. But Second hand Game shops should have to disclose if the game is in original case or not or if the case is damaged, because many do like the collector aspect of cases and they should be discounted if its not in the original manufacture case. And word of advice to everyone, never pay extra shipping for fast delivery 9/10 its late and 2 day shipping just for example usually means 2 days AFTER the order processes for those who don’t know so express shipping is really a sham.

I’m dying laughing right now because I’ve been watching your game reviews all day and then bought a few of my very first ‘pre-owned’ switch games online at GameStop this afternoon because they had a killer after Xmas deal on Lee-owned games.. and then..

[@bconstantine1181]

This is one of your perfect ad transitioning videos. Very clever. Loved it bro!

[@alexsudati]

I thought the whole point of buying games, used or not, was to play them, and after watching the whole video I was left wondering: ARE THEY STILL FUNCTIONING? You could've at least tried them on your switch to see if they're working properly.

[@jeremyqadams7825]

I enjoyed the video but I really have to agree with Alex on this, the biggest problems ordering used (and particularly retro) off of Gamestop.com is the high ratio of defective product they send and it really gets to the heart of their ability to fulfill the transaction on the most basic level(and therefore whether or not viewers should consider ordering from them). Actually testing to confirm whether they sent usable product and showing (or at least showing a scoreboard or telling us) is essential. Definitely something to add for next time Wood!

[@vivisect53]

Yea he should have tested them...but like DS games it is unlikely a switch game would not work and if it didn't it would just need cleaning.

[@thewuvlymarshmallow2684]

I think he was doing this as a fun way to test if buying used games would be good from a collectors standpoint. If a game doesn’t function you can easily return it for a working game but he was seeing if collectors could get in on the lower prices and still receive collectible goods ^^

[@Moke4you]

The used games at our Gamestop are more expensive than the new ones at the store 5 meters next to it.

[@randytharp91]

Shouldn’t blame GameStop for the cases. Blame the customers that throw their cases away or destroy them. Also. Online orders get those cases before real cases. I’m an employee and that’s what we’re taught to do. Lol

[@michaelwolfe9496]

I don't understand why anyone would throw out a case for a handheld game. Handheld game cartridges are so damn small. They're far easier to lose than console cartridges, so why wouldn't you always keep it in the case?

[@sportosellout]

Alot of carrying cases have room for games aswell so maybe thats why someone would throw it away. I always kept my cases for games anyway tho.

[@krusher181]

I dunno, I lose lots of ps4 game cases, but my switch ones are always organized. Cartridges get special love... they gimme those game boy color vibes. Wouldn’t wanna lose Pokémon red, would ya?

[@DanaTheInsane]

I keep my carts in my carrying case. But I have my cases safely put away.

[@TQDigitalMod]

I don't understand why people throw them out as it increases resale value and makes it easier to sell also a stack of cases really not taking that much space, just store them in the closet until you are going to sell. signed someone who still has NES/SNES/N64/GB/GBC/GBA and later game boxes, just stored away sitting at the top of my closet

[@Shutter-Writer]

I am going be honest and say that the Switch is absolutely amazing. You can really get a good lineup of games that you love. Considering how long Switch has been around. The quality of good Nintendo Switch games have been freaking fantastic.

As a GameStop Assistant Manager, I think it's cool that you buy your games from us. I love you and your videos! I'd like to comment and hopefully clarify a bit of the packaging. I can tell you why the packages were delayed. I can tell from the packaging of those envelopes that those are packaged at the store level and not just at the warehouse. This happens so that when you order online you are browsing not only the inventory of the warehouse but also every store's inventory as well, and thus have a greater selection. The downside being that you'll have multiple packages and or shipments. Also I definitely recommend checking your local GameStop for extra cover art, we always have extras, and I usually hand them out to customers if they ask, I don't mind. Harvest Moon should not be in a clam shell case, that's against policy. Lol All in all, when I send out online orders I try to send out the best case and cover if I can! Thank you so much and please keep up the great content! Sorry about your generic cases!

Physical games without cover art is garbage. Just like all the dumb stickers, which I always take off (which I've become an expert at now), having the art is part of the joy of a physical library.

Any tips for removing stickers other than just using your nails? (which is often a problem being a guy and all) Finally started sorting my collection and removing stickers and it's quite a process to get the suckers off, especially when they floated around stores for a good few years and have 12+ stickers on each side.
