My only unopened SNES game is Sim City 2000, and it has a "KayBee Toys" price sticker on it. Even though it would make it look better for display, I can't bring myself to peel it off. It's nice to see someone else shares that mindset. If it's a sticker directly on a loose cart, however, I clean that off ASAP. |

We're supposed to peel the old ones off when we put new ones on, but sometimes there's just not enough time, especially on weeks when it seems like we're repricing the whole store. In response to the topic, I love finding original price stickers, especially from defunct businesses. I'm over 40, so I remember all of the places that used to sell games, and I enjoy the nostalgia factor. What I really HATE however, are game stores that put the price stickers right on the cartridge label. Some come off easily, but there's nothing worse than damaging a cart label trying to get a sticker off, or having sticky residue left behind. --- End quote --- Is there a reason why there are stickers on the front, back, spine, and sometimes the manual? That seems like it would take you guys a long time to do. I've always wondered why this was nessessary. --- End quote --- We are only supposed to put a price sticker on the front (if the box is going to be displayed), and an ID sticker on the back. Some managers put them on the spines so they can scan all the games in the drawers without taking any out, but the company has told us repeatedly that no spine stickers are allowed. As is the case in any retail environment, there are arrogant managers who insist on doing things their own way. I've never come across anyone who puts a sticker on a manual. --- End quote --- As to 'stickers on the manual' - I had a friend who worked in a GameStop that was located in a mall. I guess they had a bit of a problem with people stealing manuals out of the cases. The managers solution was to pull the manuals out and keep them with the discs... and he had them put stickers on the manuals. |

I'm actually not a fan of stickers. You try to peel them off and they either leave a lot of paper behind or residue. I can use goop off if it's left on plastic, but some stores put them on the cover themselves. >:( |
