So I'm the same or cheaper than them, with far better condition product, and you don't have to spend a dime to get any discounts. It's already built into my low price. But people are too dumb to see it. They see the points and the percentages and feel like they're saving money by spending money to get those points and percentages. I've related the story before, but I had a woman buy two games from me and despite her total being $15 less than what she would have spent at Gamestop even if she had the best level of discounts, she bitched that I should have a loyalty program. If me saving you $15 for free isn't worth your loyalty, then I don't want it.
