EB Games scammed me!!!
I brought 60+ DVDs in t sell to them. I ended up with $116.25. I had my 8 month old daughter with me so, I could not focus on what exactly the clerk was doing.
When I got home, I reviewed the receipt and noticed the most popular titles were missing:
Family Guy Volumes 1 and 2 (Seasons 1-3)
Chappelle seasons 1 and 2
Criterion Editions of Kurosawa films
This guy just pulled them to the side and did not check them in and thought he would get away with it. Im going back to the store to confront him on Monday.
Has anyone had this happen to them before?

Aren't they opened on Sunday?

So this guy who pulled them away, he wasn't a clerk? Wow, that really sucks! How are you going to prove that you came in with those if they aren't listed on your receipt?
Oh K ... "Family Guy Seasons 1 @ 2"

$2 per dvd, is it me or is that highway robbery? I mean I had a yard sale 4th of July weekend and I was getting $4 per dvd and I sold them all! You have to remember EB is the same store that will give you 50 CENTS for many used video games, that is a complete joke. Personally EB sucks IMO.

Was there anything wrong with the DVD packaging...a split corner? bent booklet? sticker marks? If you can remember what was wrong, and have the worker compare it to the inventory they have out there, you might have a shot...otherwise, its a he said, he said....

Less than $2 a dvd is terrible. Especially since they will sell them for at least 4 times that amount if not much more. The used prices I see in the store are often higher than a brand new copy at Best Buy/Walmart.

All the box sets I've ever seen at EB were the same price or more than their new counterparts. One EB games was selling the slim pack x-files sets for $50 each

I only got the price on the Family Guys. I am sure I will get the rest of the prices tomorrow when I meet the district manager at the store at 10 am.

I imagine that you would be the type to brag about getting a movie for free or excessive discount. When it happens to you, though, you want to damage his car.
Pay attention and check your receipt next time.

I had a crying 8 month old with me who distracted me so I did not check my receipt until I got home.
Slip on a puddle of aids and die. kthxbye.
