I think a good approach would be giving buyers an option to choose between: lose copy (disc/cartridge only), disc/manual only, disc/case only, complete in box. But I don't think we will ever see that day... So yeah... At least we get funny and entertaining mystery roulette videos!

    GameStop employee here (SGA): I feel your pain, Matty! I wish our company could do better than sending scratched up discs and games without boxes (or generic boxes). A couple things about our trading process that might help you better understand why this happens. 1. When a customer trades in a game, we are to inspect the game to see if the disc passes our trade-in standards, and this is a subjective thing for the most part. 2. If a game is significantly scratched in our opinion, then we can take the trade, but we are supposed to label it as defective. This is then shipped to a local warehouse to try and repair the disc. However, this process might not happen if you have employees who think it is fine to trade in (and sell) a severely scratched disc. 3. If a customer trades in a game without the box, then we have to put it in a generic box. I am not sure why the Rayman game was sent without a box; that shouldn't have happened IMO. I take this video as great feedback to help me make sure the games I trade and sell are in the best condition possible, and I hope your next roulette goes a LOT better!

    thats kind of an inventory nightmare for them. They could do it for retro games since the stock is lower, they could have two listings, complete and disc only, and only take in complete ones that have the full box and manual, everything else be disc only. But thats too much work for them too.

    Co-worker and I were JUST talking about this option today! For retro I think it's a possibility, but it would have to be very is-or-isn't. They don't have room to have many condition categories for great, light damage, moderate damage, disc only. It would have to be cib or not, regardless of perfection.

    I bought a used 360 game and the manual had dried up blood on it so gross and the whole game smelled like smoke. Used games are starting to gross me out really prefer games that people took care of from a clean smoke free house.
