Buy cheap Xbox One X from GameStop and then sell it to GameStop itself, gamers make tens of millions

While many people think that digital games are the future of gaming, others still love the physical versions (cards, tapes, game discs). GameStop is the leading name in distributing these physical versions and is widely recognized gamer trust. However, in the past few months, a sharp drop in sales has caused GameStop to go through an ever gloomier period, followed by the closure of a number of branches to make capital rotation and management easier. But it seems that this closure has caused some consequences that GameStop did not expect.​

​

When closing the branch, instead of returning the Xbox One X to the company to get more money back, then they… reduce the price to sell out of stock. Recently a Reddit user named Steid55 opened a topic sharing how he took advantage of GameStop’s policies to benefit himself. This male gamer bought a total of 9 pieces console Xbox One X at the soon-to-close GameStop branch for a promotional price of 199 USD (about 4.6 million VND), then in turn resell them to other GameStop stores nearby for 275 USD (about 6.4 million VND). million dong).

Regularly buying second-hand games or consoles from customers at low prices, GameStop didn’t hesitate to accept the transaction with Steid55, but it seems like this is a painful trick for the game retailer. especially when they are still having financial problems. Steid55 is also happy to share that he also got a gift card worth 796 USD and kept an Xbox One X for himself, selling 8 of his consoles. Microsoftmale gamers earn more than 14 million.​

​

While Steid55 was still praising his clever plan, YouTuber Spawn Wave Plus and many other players also commented on Steid55’s post, reminding him that GameStop flagged suspicious transactions on the system and never allow these people to buy or sell anything with their stores again. That means Steid55 will not be able to take advantage of this trick to cheat GameStop again, it also helps prevent those who are intending to repeat Steid55’s behavior.​
