| Topic | How would YOU make gamestop better |
| Zeus 08/25/17 2:02:22 AM #36: | I_Abibde posted... Do what my former employer (Borders) should have done: Focus on transitioning from brick-and-mortar to online-only in order to save the business. Except do it intelligently. Borders-dot-com was terrible. Few problems: 1) Gamestop isn't Borders. They can manage retail because they don't have much offline competition. Borders had to deal with one other major chain in an industry where both were losing to Amazon who was seriously undercutting them on pricing. 2) Going strictly online would have killed Borders since then it'd just be Amazon with less selection and worse pricing. 3) Online-only would all but kill their business model. They make a lot of profit on used game sales which requires getting people to trade in games, which is harder when everything needs to be mailed in. That was never an issue with Borders. Unbridled9 posted... Fair enough. They often get lumped in with greek monsters though so a bit of confusion in understandable. In fact, while I can think of multiple times I've seen them in with greek stuff, I'm having trouble thinking of times I've seen them with persian stuff. Have you seen much persian "stuff," though? =p Yellow posted... Judgmenl posted...Online-only retailer. It's the only way to tank their business overnight. The only faster way to go out of business would be to only sell items at a loss or just burn all of their inventory. Entity13 posted... Close their doors, permanently, and have the CEOs from the past 15 or so years issue a public apology before donating their fortunes to worthy causes, such as teaching kids to read, write, play music, etc. While I agree that selling games is fundamentally contributing to juvenile delinquency, that seems a little overboard. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ...
