    So it's probably common (or uncommon?) knowledge that I work at a game store. We take in trades, give out credit or whatnot to customers walking in looking to get rid of some of their old games and such...But even if I didn't, if I went into a store, I always expect something that I buy would be in ...somewhat okay condition.
