The poor guy looks like GameStop drained his soul , tortured it, put it back, rinse and repeat.

Here's a pro tip: sell to your local game stores and NOT to GameStop. Most LGSs know how to do this already, and they usually have a community that can support them by buying it immediately or soon after you sell it. GameStop employees will rarely know how to do this, and the cards will likely be bought and scalped before the actual players can buy them.

Fortunately, I worked in a GS who had a GREAT manager that ALWAYS wanted to be on the up and up on everything new to the company and always make sure we knew what we were doing. But I heard about other stores that did NOT offer training and just expected every to read GSO and the in-store emails and have a free for all on how to do anything. I wish they cared more like my manager did.

Was told today at GameStop here in North Florida that they're getting ready to start buying cards. Starting with sports cards

Managers expect employees to do their jobs and perform to the best of their abilities yet this employee wasn't even trained to do this type of job. How do you not brief your staff when you're incorporating new sales tactics? I applaud this gentleman for keeping his cool and trying his best to take the task at hand.

You definitely deserve more recognition for this!

That courtesy laugh was hilarious but i get it. 😂

Very interesting to see the process at the early stages. Definitely took a long time and I expect it would take even longer with proper examination of slabs. Pricing isn’t terrible for some of the newer less valuable cards it seems but would expect cards in the $200-$499 range to be valued very low for resale.

Expecting employees to just handle trades like this is insane. Poor employees.
