Confessions of a Gamestop Manager
The site Consumerist has up a lengthy post from a former Gamestop manager, listing some of the sins, boons, pitfalls and promises perpetrated while he was on the job. Includes a discussion of the 'gutted' display game, pre-orders, the 'discount' card, trades, and lots of 'pro-tips' on how to get the most out of your Gamestopping experience. "19) Don't be afraid to sell things on your own! The going resell rates for any current games or accessories online is usually close to what we resell for. If its a much newer title and you don't mind listing and shipping it, you could make a small handful more selling it online yourself. Ebay and Amazon.com are obvious choices, but you may find other outlets that work for you."
There is a Forrest Wasson who is listed by Gamestop as manager of the store at 41 Vaughan Ln, Pell City, AL 35125, 205-338-4030. According to this page Forrest Earl Wasson Jr got married in on April 26, 2007 Jefferson County, AL. A Forrest Earl Wasson Jr used to drive as a long-haul trucker for Prime Inc and apparently fathered several illegitimate children across the country and does not appear to have paid any child support. Wasson may be wanted by several child support agencies across the country. Jefferson County and Pell city are within 43 miles of each other. Wasson the trucker may or may not be the Wasson who got married in Jefferson County, and may or may not be the Gamestop manager in Pell City, but if anyone's looking for him, that might be a good place to start.
