Video game seller....and trader.

HWV rents the stuff, GC sells it. It's not too bad, but genereally no sales. But the entertainment book as 20% off a used game in there!

Oh, cool. I applied for a position in my hometown, and I have an interview Thursday. I realy hope I get the job. I wasalso curious to know if they have like PS2, Xboxes, and Gamecubes hooked up so people can just play them right there in the Store.

If Zero find this thread...
Are they any employee discounts? Whats the pay rate where you work?

hey don't forget me I work there too! Employee discount= 10% off new stuff, 20% off used stuff, no discounts on systems. Our trade in-s are usually better (in value) than eb's or gamestops, and our used games are usually cheaper too, just watch out for the condition of used games...

The website says they are in the western states. Any news about them planning on going nationwide?

10% isn't too bad I suppose, better then nothing. I would prob. buy more used at 20% then newer releases, especially since they would have classic 8-Bit titles.

I also had another question...
If someone comes in with there Top Loading NES, and Gamecray buys it off of them, can the employees then buy it before it hits the shelves? Or is there a certain period a used item must sit for an employee to buy it?

10 days b/t the date it is traded in and it can be sold , as to comply with laws.... this applies to systems only...if you can negotiate person to person with the person trading it in, that's a different story, but that's against policy

No, a store about 60 miles away from him. I had e-mailed him asking him some question, and he was kind enough to respond.
