What the H.F.I.L.?

I'm never gonna buy something from them again! That's not cool. They should re-enburse the lady.

That is just so jacked up...

I showed this article to a friend of mine who used to work for Gamestop. He pointed out some things

- the ID could have been faked

- you can't not accept a trade-in because the person stole it. They could sue for defamation

I don't think your friend read it.

- What ID?

- EB is in trouble because they didn't wait the mandatory 15 days before selling the items; not because of actually accepting the stolen goods.

Sounds like the store manager wasn't paying attention to company policy, and the comapny doesn't want to admit it becuase it would make them look even more foolish.


If they aknowledge that the stuff was stolen, just give it back to her one way or another. Doing they way they're doing just makes them look like jerks.

At first, I didn't see why EB should refund the woman anything. They bought the items in good faith, and paid for them.

They didn't steal the items from her home. A thief did.

The thief should return what he stole. As he can't, he ought to replace the items.

Now that I understand there is a state law prohibiting the goods from being resold for 15 days, I see that the EB should give the remaining items to police as evidence, which would be then returned to the original owner. And the PS2 which they sold in error, should be replaced with another, pre-owned PS2.

Poorly handled.

1. You need an ID to do a trade-in, I believe.

2. Well, even if the guy at EB knew that the goods were stolen anyway, he still had to accept them
