Insider secrets from a retail video game salesman
The Consumerist talks with an anonymous salesman (presumably from either GameStop or EB Games) to get some insider tips on how things work at the gaming boutique. Here's a few things to know:
1) Don't waste your money on extended warranties, however tempting "protecting your investment" may seem at checkout. Most lemons break before the default one-year warranty anyway. 2) Everything's subject to change, even reserves. 3) Make a fuss to get an edge on a product, i.e. call customer service for perks. 4) Most stores honor misprinted signage. Again, make a fuss if you must.
Read on for some interesting insight including the full list of nine tips from inside the belly of the beast. You stay savvy, gamers.
