A used item is sometimes a way for people to get the video games they need at a good price, but it doesn’t always save as much as expected.
In one case, a player tried to sell his PS4 Pro to GameStop USA and found out that not only would he not save any money, but he would actually have to pay the store.
Gamer Tries to Sell PS4 Pro to GameStop, Ends Up Being Asked to Pay the Store
The user, named SolmisateSol on ResetEra, explained that he wanted to sell his PS4 Pro to GameStop USA in order to make some extra dollars. However, he did not want to include the DualShock 4 controller he was still using, nor the HDMI cable, and he also didn’t have the USB cable to charge the controller.
The result of these missing items was that the price GameStop offered for the console was reduced, even to the point where it went negative. In addition, because he was not a member of the “pro” service at GameStop USA, the player would not only receive no money for the sale but would have to pay the store around 5 dollars. Basically, he would be giving away the hardware and paying for it.
He also looked into selling an Xbox One, but in that case, he would have to pay GameStop 20 dollars to take the console.
It’s probably not hard to guess that the user did not sell the consoles. He also mentioned that the employee was very kind and surprised by the situation. Still, this was the reality. Of course, old consoles don’t hold much value anymore, but asking the customer to pay is clearly a bit too much.
