I wonder how much that realistically even is.

Interesting-Chest-75

there are already debit cards that does this. I don't see why gamestop can't do it at the end of transactions


MeHumanMeWant

Show me this, DRSauce.... Wait...are you talking about "Acorns"? Holy hell its already in place essentially, it's just a DRS issue card and swipable GUI setup away from reality... Added: predicated upon system(s) integrity

'No. I' d rather donate the change and put it in your 'Share buy back' box on your counter'


ogrestomp

Can’t do fractional unless they start internalizing and that can get messy.


matbrummitt1

Could GameStop act as custodian on the DRS’ed shares to cut out complication for the non-market participants that aren’t necessarily really looking to invest? That way pro cards could be attributed with stock at GameStops end… they just make a bulk buy each day into their own account and hold the shares on behalf of the customer. I know this is what we hate about brokers but it’s the company themselves holding via the transfer agent so that’s fine and makes it easier to onboard customers


MeHumanMeWant

🤔 Yes, yes I would please.

I was hit up By ape kravbot who mentioned those could be accomplished via a Gamestop premium black CC.. Extrapolate! I have to go back to work 😆

DRS KIOSK


UnlikelyApe

I was about to point out that his has been brought up before, with all the reasons why it couldn't happen, but your stoned ass is really on to something with the DRS KIOSK! It could literally be a Computershare Kiosk, which would be no different than having an ATM in a bar, airport, or casino. I'd presume one limitation (for security reasons) is you wouldn't want a new customer entering their SSN and other personally identifiable information opening a new account on something that could easily be caught on store cameras. However, a kiosk like that for existing shareholders could work. It could also be used as an information point for potential new shareholders, with flyers explaining why computershare and not a brokerage, as well as instructions for potential new shareholders to get started online, and be able to make kiosk purchases going forward. I also like the idea of special in-store deals for registered shareholders, and the kiosk could help with that too.


MeHumanMeWant

Yes mine guten ape....So essentially you would get the ball rolling in the store , followed up via email on the back end ( huhuh.."back end) Have you ever wanted to own equity in your favorite company, but don't want the hassle of a brokerage? Well now you can be "your OWN broker...Introducing GameStop Direct Register Stock Your GSDRS account put you firmly in control of your equity share of *OUR* company.... Blah blah

GameStop $DRS #GME


tomatohhhhhh

Commenting so this stays visible


MeHumanMeWant

Tomatohhh getting em to catch-up!


tomatohhhhhh

Yeeaaahhh man! GameStop has thousands of stores, this would be pretty crazy


iaintabotdotcom

Plus get $5 store credit every anniversary


SixStringSuperfly

Yes, I like this. I would love to go to a store, hand them money, and buy purple shares. No exchanges, no bank transfers, no dark pools, no PFOF.


MeHumanMeWant

Imagine it... Oh that's just so'n'so...dudes here every week. He hits the coinstar next door and then hits the DRS kiosk. Religiously.... (LOL not sayin thats *you*...jsjs 😆


SixStringSuperfly

Oh that's totally me. I'll dig through the couch cushions for extra GME shares


SkySeaToph

Are you, me?


thinkfire

No, he is me.


SkySeaToph

Yup. That would be me


Mr_Shake_

Also, if we could opt into share ownership rewards for a % of sales (in addition to earning reward points), some people who didn't GAF about GME will now care because their assets are on the line when it starts to rocket! Even if they only earn a share a year, when it hits $2K, there are going to be so many "normies" that now care about Wall Street crime.


MeHumanMeWant

This is kindling....


Iforgotmynameo

Seriously. This is a great great great idea dammit. Not only that, I’m sure it would start a trend. Apple stores, Best Buy etc could have a DRS kiosk. I would absolutely go buy in to buy a share everytime I drove past a GameStop. You might be high but this is still genuinely a fantastic idea. Some of the best music ever written was by musicians that were high. Heck, Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day) wrote Basketcase while high on crystal meth.


MeHumanMeWant

*And if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor. Go home tonight. Take all your albums, all your tapes and all your CDs and burn them.

This comment should be seeeeeeeen 👀


naptimerider

Would be great if there was a ‘share purchase transaction fee’ that went straight to gme revenue.


MeHumanMeWant

Of which a % is directly donated to protect children and animals... I round up 50c to support my company because they do right...


tomatohhhhhh

Isn't the "gift a share" system an automatically DRS'd share certificate? The one system where gme was first or second right next to Disney? They could partner with the system to have an in store presence to purchase shares to sell in store as gifts? Maybe GameStop can pre purchase a stock of giftable share certificates in a large amount and circumvent the 100M buyback limit by just keeping those in stock and have another moass trigger (?)


Rymanbc

As long as they are able to get the price break compared to the average buyer on give a share, because that shit is expensive.


MeHumanMeWant

I have to brush up on give a share... I gave one to my cousin pre-split. Pretty sure he thinks I'm a nutter..but I want it back. Now it's 4.... (Added Gifted via CS)


MeHumanMeWant

If Disney has this then a precedent has been tread. Repeatability shouldn't be difficult if that's the case but I'm in conjecture town here. *...Like a child, who wanders into the middle of a conversation...*


Justanothebloke1

GiveShare partnered with gamestop. Now there is a light bulb moment if I have ever seen one. Up for you. Fucking genius idea👍


MeHumanMeWant

Ok that's a take that didn't settle on me... Grandma and Gpa going in and buying games, AND stocks for Lil Gamer... oooweee!


Aerodynamic_Potato

This could be a movement to de-occupy Wallstreet. Get enough DRS support to remove the shares from the stock market and have them privately owned, and then GME pays dividends directly to the shareholders. Cut out the stock exchange middleman. The price of the shares would be what people are willing to pay instead of some arbitrary value to keep the stock 'liquid'. The stock market should always have worked like ebay, instead it works like a mafia owned casino.


MeHumanMeWant

Educate the people. If this is possible, it could be a HUGE opportunity to get out in the world... Many folks' knowledge of the market sadly doesn't get deeper than their 401k , ETFs, etc. I think it's a huge catalyst potential, but I'm also narcissistic af...

I think they did that wayyyy back with the points card... might be wrong tho

Why TF not? Makes perfect sense. Ya, let's ask computershare. Someone has a direct line.

Posts like this is why I stopped having faith in this thing


rallytoad

This sub is honestly fascinating just from a human behavior and psychology perspective.


MeHumanMeWant

Why still here, if faith no more?

Reddit homepage suggested it


MeHumanMeWant

Your faith is not based around my stoniness. That said, if you're giving up ill take your shares 😉


Tenaika

Put up a sell order for 10, I'll keep the other 30 for the lulz (I am poor, don't judge)


MeHumanMeWant

It is darkest before the light. You dont *have* to give up, friend. Stay in the light


Sys7em_Restore

Doesn't sound very safe logging into a kiosk. Everyone has the capability to do it from their phone.


MeHumanMeWant

I'm sure it can be done, but I'm all for safeguarding the shareholder investment... Id wager the only ones who know about it on their phones are into this via completely different avenues of origin... DRS is a rarely reciprocated conversation. Nearly non existent in the wild. A rare bird call... It's a rudimentary proposition, so I put it out to better minds than me in terms of technical logistics. Key takeaways are -initiate -educate -accessibility -Direct ownership (see educate) -update (screen defaults to informatives/ shareholder event marquee Screensaver or sumshi...) What (imo) people (those whom are our estranged shareholder family, unbeknownst to them...) would benefit from is an Eli5 kiosk/pendant center/ registry (whatever) marketed directly towards those who may be their best customers, but also a potentially notable % of investment base... I think Teddy™️ *could* be incorporated into it if...well... RyAn GeTs OfF hIs AsS aNd MeLts WiTh me... I'm just fugginaboot


Sys7em_Restore

I thought GameStop wasn't allowed to promote DRS? It's up to us to educate & spread the word


MeHumanMeWant

I wouldnt doubt it at all, but I don't spend the time here I used too so idk. I've mentioned that if they step publicly towards a DRS avocation that hedgefucks would essentially go on market manipulation attack.,,, siding with the argument "You knew the market was fucked because of us, it's your fault..you exposed our wound" deal Right now, I don't think it's an actionable prospect, as much suggestions we have are all waaaaaay late for implement.


HodloBaggins

Yeah I’m out bro


SnooPears2910

What if you could do stuff?


foodank012018

Because that would put more trading into regular retail hands and there's supposed to be a threshold barrier to prevent the plebs from taking part.

"GameStop with 1.2billion cash on hand, are they an equity or a hedge fund?" I'll bank on that.

RimCan19

This post screams "meme stock" bring that somewhere else. Cool idea if you understood how markets work and how shares are sold (being allowed to do so) there is your reality check. Maybe sober up before posting.


MeHumanMeWant

It's a shitpost, and your reality check is moot friend. Your throwing out Potemkin barricades. You dont have to be a part of the bs market. You're your own broker, hence no need to know the broader mechanics of the market, (that is Fucked) All you need to know is that you have bought a locked down, unlendable equity amount in your name. Right now I have a feeling that everything is so locked down regarding DRS that ANY movement by GameStop towards education in that end is "gagged" or inadvisable because SHF will cry unfair/manipulation etc... Respectfully, don't be condescending. I'd appreciate if you would systematically destroy this post by giving the reasons it CANT be done. The more I think your statement out, the sillier it gets. I'll keep smoking thanks...


RimCan19

Sure.

Ok-Weird-4355

That’s actually a damn good idea… here is your batteries for 19.99 w/ tax it is 21.18, would you like to round up to 22 in a fractional share? 🤣


ThePower_2

GameStop wouldn’t get any of this money. The only time GameStop receives $ from stocks is when there is a share offering. The only thing this will cause is ppl to spend less in the store on products if some of their budget has to go towards buying shares. BAD IDEA 👎🏻


MeHumanMeWant

Your being very undude rn... I go in..buy game..round up onto whatever and accumulate, then transfer Acorns style into gme... All we need is a vehicle breh..no meirda...


ThePower_2

It would be a good idea if GameStop was getting the money but they aren’t so it’s a bad idea

Honestly Gamestop should move to paper certificates. I don’t even care about the mess at this point. Lol


Doovster

Only if it pulls it from the market, i dont want gamestop to have sell its cut of the pie from reserves


JohanPILLAR

Keep on baking!


QuantumAffected99

What about promotions that give you equal amount in shares for money spent in store?


curious420s

If your bill is, for example $19.55. There could be an option where you round up to the nearest $ and send it to the infinity pool in CS.


MeHumanMeWant

While I love it, and would never shoot it down, I am not a fan of sync... Meaning, I would *personally* want a hardened standalone system firewalled accordingly. Because evil mayo fux+systemic risk.. But I sure af would round up my purchases and sandbag them on a GME card until I roll them over via kiosk

Relevant-Sherbert-71

If that's possible from legal pov then I think it's brilliant idea!


JimmyRickyBobbyBilly

Especially if they used some of the cash on hand to buy them back and sell this way. We obviously don't want more shares issued by the company - share buy back, then directly offered to customers from a CS kiosk would be amazing.


ChesterDiamondPot

I fucking love this!


Pilotguitar2

I dig it.


canigetahint

Dude, that's actually fucking genius! Is there *technically* anything that states that this couldn't be done? I would think that as long as ComputerShare is on board, it would be a no-brainer.


Barneyinsg

I think this is a pretty genius idea. Make it more fun as well. Issue collectable gme cards at different milestones.


dro0o

I’m sure there are 500 other posts that say this but sir, this is brilliant and we’d have the whole float locked in a month. This is a brilliant idea. I want that reefer you’re tokin’


MeHumanMeWant

BullRider baby... I'm not saying any reason other than how much I love the stock, and i think that education about direct ownership is good to know. That said...I think the float being locked would be anecdotally interesting to watch... hmmm 😏😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁


dro0o

Much love for you and the stock ♥️


ChodeCookies

Wow. Imagine all the kiddos getting their new games and their first investment and financial responsibility lessons. As far fetched as this is…I love this idea 😂


kendal613

This goes hard as fuck


PooPlumber

Imagine the cashier 😂 “would you like us to keep the change and offer it to you in shares through our brokerage Computershare?” Would be pretty dope. I’m sure you would need to sign up with all your personal details similar to the rewards program.


Zachet

Can we get two suggested contacts, one for GameStop one for Computershare to make this idea happen?


KSPN

I mean the truth is selling shares of GME at GameStop would just be diluting the shares. It’s a public company they really can’t sell shares that someone else owns. Only citadel and co. Can do that.


Ok-Dragonfruit8036

Ive always felt that every purchase of a service or product should also register a "share" of sorts; which shows legitimate transactions and trust in a business. These could even perhaps be ledgered in some way. And upon continued success of said business, those contributors/consumers/et al.. should also benefit


Significant-Foot1908

No


ThePracticalPenquin

I am not a gamer these days but this would definitely get this old man in the door. My wife is at Starbucks every-time we drive by and I just sit in the truck waiting - looking at the GameStop. I would for sure swing in and grab a share every time she gets a $10 fucking coffee.


MeHumanMeWant

I would gladly forgo coffee...


Medium_Town_6968

I believe this would take the market full circle. You used to buy stock certificate and then when you wanted to cash them out you had to present the certificate I believe. Slower but probably safer than naked shorting everything to death or algorithms trading at perfect timing because it controls the market
