Title: Inside information: GameCrazy going out of business completely?
Post by: The Fake Shemp on April 30, 2010, 05:02:49 PM
Just heard from one of the few survivors still at my old retail haunt that the entire company is going to be liquidating soon. That could mean sick deals for anyone that still has a GameCrazy near them.

Wouldn't surprise me :(

I raped the corpse of the last GC that went out of business. I think I spent about $80 and basically filled my trunk with games. Fuck, I'm not going to play 90% of that shit either :(

Yeah, my buddy just texted me asking what I want from the sale.

Funny story from the other side: my friend who is a DM at GameStop said that about a year ago, the store manager from the nearby GameCrazy walked into one of his flagship stores and yelled at the staff that he was going to put them out of business.

12 months later: Same guy shows up at the GameStop store on Tuesday to pick up SSIV... paid for by his mother.

The closest Game Crazy to where I live is 130 miles. I can't believe they don't have even ONE in the DFW area.

There's only one GameCrazy left in Seattle, and it's in the ghetto known as White Center/Delridge.

I tried buying a bunch of new games today at Gamestop and the clerk gave me an incredible amount of shit for buying new. Jesus Christ mang. Maybe if Gamecrazy had been huge dicks about pushing used they might have survived
