GameStop is notorious for buying games at cents on the dollar and then turning around to sell them for an incredible profit. Gamers walk into the store thinking they will be making back at least a portion of what they paid for something, only to be disappointed in the end. Many have taken this to heart, which has led to the creation of several memes about this company.
This list compiles the best ones that exist and gamers can't help but laugh at their truthfulness. It shows just how ridiculous it is and why many choose to try and sell their games on their own. Keep reading to see some of these hilarious GameStop trade-in memes that will have gamers crying!
10 A Big Payout Is Never In The Cards
Many gamers bundle up their old games and take them to their local GameStop looking to make back at least 25% of what they paid for them. It is not uncommon for them to be sorely disappointed when they are handed a check like this for a measly few dollars. It feels like nothing for the care that they gave the games, as well as the memories that went along with them.
9 A Cure For Cancer Isn't Worth Much To Them
A cure for cancer is something that people would pay billions of dollars for, but gamers know that GameStop wouldn't. They would fail to see the value in this just like they do with the rest of the games that pass through their doors. Players can't help but laugh at the truthfulness in this meme as they are left with disappointment every time they leave the store.
8 The Car Has To Be Part Of The Deal
A trunkload of games might seem like a lot, but that won't stop GameStop from offering a low amount for the entire lot. Gamers laugh at this meme because the original price of the games combined might even be worth more than the car, hence why they only offered a dollar more for it. Their policies are borderline insane and those who actually trade their items in find themselves with a lighter wallet then they expected.
7 Money Isn't Always An Option
GameStop says they will give cash for a trade-in, but the amount is so small that it is never worth it. They always offer store credit as an alternative, although, this still leaves a gamer without the cash they had originally desired.
It is a flawed system that always seems to leave the customer in a state of disappointment. They expect to be paid like royalty and are instead tossed a few pennies like a beggar on the street.
6 The Tables Have Turned
GameStop was looking for a buyer back in 2018, and gamers instantly took to the internet to roast them based on their trade-in value. They estimate how much they are worth based on the trade-in values they often give their own customers. The tables have turned on them now and players can't help but laugh at the irony.
5 If GameStop Was Robbed
GameStop is constantly robbing customers of their hard-earned cash by offering horrible trade-in values. Customers might not feel so inclined to stop a robbery of their store based on their past experience of being robbed by the store itself. Gamers are left crying at this meme as they imagine themselves in this situation and realize what a big mistake they made trading in their items to this store.
4 GameStop Has To Make A Profit
It seems like the end of the world for GameStop to offer more than a measly ten cents for a single game. Players can't help but laugh at this Tiger King meme that describes their reaction perfectly when they happen to offer more than this amount.
It seems like something that will financially ruin them, even though most could find this extra dime outside on the sidewalk. It is a bit ridiculous at times, but at least everyone can laugh at this meme despite their disappointment.
3 It's Just Gas Money
This truck headed over to GameStop with a ton of consoles, but gamers know that the lot is probably only worth about $10. It will be enough to pay for the gas that the truck wasted transporting all of these consoles over to the store. This meme will leave gamers crying at the hilarity of it as they too have undergone the insane pricing that GameStop has imposed.
2 They Should Hire Patrick
Patrick Star was a pro at haggling to obtain what he wanted, which is what he was doing with the Flying Dutchman in this meme. He would make the perfect GameStop employee as he is ready to lowball anyone who crosses his path. Patrick has trouble understanding the value of items, which is what makes him the best man for the job.
1 GameStop Offered Him A Settlement
People can't help but laugh at this meme where the man was offered just $75 after being wrongly imprisoned for 31 years of his life. It won't buy him a home or even more than a week's worth of food, which has people wondering if GameStop decided his settlement. The number is so ridiculously low that this is the only conclusion that makes sense, and gamers can't help but laugh at the hilarity of it all.
