Hahaha, I did that once in ... EB I think? (Wasn't gamestop... might've been Babbages..)
This woman was selling THPS 4 around Christmas after it came out saying, "My son doesn't really like this, I just wanna sell it and buy something else." The guy was gonna give her $10 for it!!!
I turned around and said, "Sorry, but they are ripping you off. If I were you, I'd go home and sell it on ebay. You'll get nearly what you paid for it since it's like new... around $40 or so."
She thanked me, left, and the guy behind the counter was pissed. Well, not pissed, just gave me a look like, "..what the hell are you doing?" I said, "Hey, I know *you* don't set prices, but you can't tell me you guys don't rip people off by doing this... it's not right."
Man that felt good
