Are you agreeing that he would make a good rapist or that you like rapists?

Rapists and I share nothing in common other then our love for women.

There is quite a large assumption in that statement that I will leave alone....

+5 for what you call "damaged" artwork because there is a sticker on there? the sticker being on there does no damage to your cover. the only damage that is done is when YOU take the sticker off. so really its your fault when the cover gets messed up... just because getting a sticker on your artwork isnt, in your definition "what you expected" doesnt mean a seller should be penalized for it.... i expect all my games to come with a 100 dollar bill in the manual, but you dont see me giving out +5 feedbacks because i didnt get what I expected, lower your standards a little buddy

I agree! In fact, I just traded in my van at the car dealer and they said, "Hey, no problem. It's in like-new condition!"

HAHAHA.  Nice pic, zodiac.
I can't help but laugh at some of these comparisons.
Yes, expecting to get a game without a garish looking yellow sticker on the spine of the artwork which makes it look like total ass on my shelf it EXACTLY like not getting $100 with your game.
Thank you for making me see the light.  I bow to your supreme wisdom.
I will now give +5 on every game that does not come with $100 and I will make sure to let every seller from now on know that dnice104 says that games that don't come with $100 in cash are worth a +5.

EDIT: Had to add this.  All of the people saying "then don't buy games at GameStop!"
Are you guys not reading, incredibly ignorant or just very very stupid?  I need to know which it is.
As Christian Bale would say, "What don't you f**king understand??"

I was angry when I saw gamestop putting price stickers on the artwork too. now that I see someone else mad about it, I think I'll ship them as game+manual from now on.

Pringer, you make me proud to have made this topic.  If one mind has been changed, my crusade has meaning.

I'll be honest when you're trading from Goozex it's like stepping into a huge used games store. You're trading for a game someone else owned and to me you shouldn't expect the case to be in pristine condition. If someone says they've got a game in box then it should be expected that you'll be getting it in a used state.

It's usually not even the users fault that there are stickers on the box if it was a gift or only gamestop had it when buying or they recieved it in a goozex trade like that already. 

If the cover is totally wrecked then yes I can agree +5 or even negative but if it's just a couple of small stickers which from gamestop are usually on the plastic case which can be easily (and cheaply) exchanged it's not fair to the seller of the game.

I've done it because of you too. So your tally is now at two.

If it is so easy and cheap to get a new case then shouldnt the seller be the one getting the new case rather than forcing the buyer to have to shell out money for something that shouldnt have arrived in that condition to begin with?

Also the topic is mostly about the stickers that are put inside of the plastic onto the cover art which can not be easily removed and are a huge eye sore when mixed in with the rest of your game collection.

Let me take this opportunity to reiterate that a +5 is not penalizing the user. It is merely stating that the package was not in the condition that the buyer expected.

Every single +5 for stickers can be avoided by PM'ing the buyer and asking if they have a problem with the stickers being on the case.

If you are that picky you should probably not buy used games and only buy new.
