no lol.

but they are stupidly stingy about what they can accept and what not. I 'member I traded in a ps2 with some ps1 controllers and the noob checkout guy was gonna take them all and then the neckbeard manager came out and told me to scram because tehy didn't take ps1 shit and the noob was like "but dude it still works on ps2" and I was like "yeah, dude" and the neckbeard was like "NOT AT MY STORE" and I took my $8 or however much they gave me for the console and a ps1 controller that I could never use.

good story right?

Nope, you can literally trade in broken controllers and get the same "trade-in value" if you bring in a perfectly working controller. Though the trade in values tend to be really crap.

Just went to Gamestop(got 200 for 4 things)

They have a new controller testing system. They plug it to a screen and it tests everything

I highly doubt they test them that extensively. X and right works. Sell it.

Mostly they see if the buttons and joysticks move/press properly. Otherwise they don't test shit.
Speaking from experience working at a games store.

Yes they do. Now they use a machine the depicts "super sensivity" and will gig you money/store credit wise if it is "broken", which it will always be considered. I ttaed in a controller which I know for a fact was in excellent shape and they the controller was messed up and they couldn't give me full credit.

Don't waste your time

Considering its a corporate retail chain, it's probably highly variable on location.

I can confirm that they do test them as well. Tested my controller when I traded in my PS4 for a slim.
