Gamestation - Never beaten on Trade-ins my &$(£

Went into Gamestation today and tried to trade in Resident Evil 5 Gold on the PS3. I told them I could get £16 for it at CeX and they refused to beat it.
Normally they just nip out back and check the website but this time they just refused to consider a trade-in despite me pointing to the large sign above his head and asking him if he could clarify what that meant then...
<sigh> Off to CeX...

12.91 on Amazon :-)
or there's one for 3 quid on Ebay
Maybe the OP has found a gap in the market, but PS3 games cheap and sell them to CEX

This "We will beat any trade in" idea only serves to keep the prices of second hand games erratic and artificially high.
I was looking at Bioshock 2 in a few local shops recently, prices ranged from £14.99 to £28.99, in some shops it was cheaper new than other places second hand prices.0 -
In the end, I managed to get my £17 trade in at HMV. I think there could be a very limited gap in the market...Space for rent, apply within - Free trial on Thanks button though0

Yeah, I've noticed they've started doing this - I think a memo must have come down from head office. They used to beat CEX etc by a quid. So what I'd do was pick up a few cheapy games, from boot sales or whatever, get them beaten at Gamestation and sometimes double my money in credit.0

Probably why CEX gets bad reviews, CHQ's bounce & no cash to actually buy stuff. Buy 2nd hand goods for more than
other retailers sell them for.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -

I don't trade much stuff in a Gamestation, but I was in my local branch browsing yesterday. I noticed a hand written sign by the door stating that they would beat C.E.X on trade ins.
Would love to get the chance to try it out.Striving to clear the mortgage before it finishes in Dec 2028 - amount currently owed - £10,153.440
