Literally a used Switch game in a big, ridiculous bag with a “New” sticker on it. Imagine going into a GameStop with a game in a bag like this and convincing them to give you credit for it as “New”.

Don’t buy online from GameStop. Actually, just don’t buy from GameStop.

No. There is just no way it is the last copy so often. Also, there is no reason to do that. Laminate a card with all the box info. Keep unboxed, sealed copies behind the counter. Voila! With about 5 minutes of work I've just solved the entire problem!

    Tell corporate, it's their plan. And yes, you'd be surprised how often it was, in fact, the last copy. If it's not a major release, there's usually only a few copies in the store, sometimes literally a single copy.
