Some of you asked me to alert you all to special deals and whatnot. This promotion is not circulating in-store, but online customers can print this and have the brick and mortar stores scan it for more trade-in credit. You can stack it with an Edge card subscription for 40% extra credit too.

thanks willco, you rock dude.
-
GREAT, I've got a stack of shit sitting here
-
As a general rule, do PSP games trade in for anything?
Thanks for the heads-up, btw
-
Depends on the games. Games that get traded in a ton are worth crap and unfortunately, due to the bundles, Daxter is worthless. Even the new Battlefront game is only $8. But that potentially becomes $11.20 with this promotion. If you got a stack of shit to unload, this is the time to do it.
It's also rare that GameStop requires just 3 games for the promotion. The past 9 mos., to get the same credit, you had to trade in FIVE or more (three just got you 10%).
-
Hmmm, I have a few DS games to trade-in. I was gonna sell them to Nick, but he's apparently a finicky gay dude.Maybe I'll trade in Vegas as well, before Vegas 2 comes out and makes it obsolete.
-
If Ubisoft's milking of the Rainbow Six franchise on the original Xbox is any indicaton, keep your copy, Cajole.
-
Good point. I've barely had the time to play it anyhow. I should try to get my money's worth, I guess.
-
I'm gonna trade in all my now-irrelevant-thanks-to-flashcart DS games!
Although Tetris goes for about $50 on ebay
-
What the fuck? Is it rare or something?
-
There's no explaining ebay
I once sold a book I had bought out of a $3 remainder bin for $35 - this was a reprint book of comics, and you could buy the actual comic issues themselves for less than $35
-
People are so fucking stupid.
-

Could be, I went through my DS games to see how they fared and Tetris always ended at like $50
I just don't really want to deal with waiting for a MO (I dont do PayPal on eBay), then shoving it in a package and going to the Post Office

how do older games do? do you usually put a full 7 day listing starting at $0? gimme some tips... i have so much shit i can offload right now.
-
Yea, I would have to do a MO. I have a personal account with Paypal since I don't want to pay a fee everytime I use it.
-
I'll just unload it all at GameStop, fuqqqqq it

You know, that's some really weird shit. I'm replacing all the DS games that I lost (or were stolen by the TSA, however you want to look at it) and Tetris is one of 'em. So I go on eBay, looking for cheap shit... and yep, just about every auction has Tetris going for around $50. WHEN IT IS IN STORES EVERYWHERE FOR $29.99.
I did pick up Metroid Pinball, Gunpey and Card Fighters Clash DS for hella cheap though so that's cool.

I usually just price my DVD/Game stuff "Buy it now" by taking an average of prices from completed listings, and let it run 7 days. I hate using Paypal because ebay already gets a big enough slice (they own Paypal), but it's so easy to print up shipping labels through Paypal, and then you don't have to wait in line at the PO - you can just hand it to your mail carrier or put it in the drop box. I buy a big pack of self-sealing padded envelopes, and add the cost of the envelope to the shipping price. I keep the shipping price pretty low, as close to actual shipping cost as possible - stuff moves quicker that way. I also put a piece of bubble wrap inside the game/dvd case to keep the disc from coming off the hub - people like that.
If I sell one of my old Golden or Silver Age comics, I have to do a lot of grading and research, so I price the starting bid at the lowest price I'm willing to take, set it for 7 days, and see what happens. Sometimes they only sell for starting price, sometimes people get crazy.
-
^ that's why i understand the demi approach. it's a lot less hassle to offload shit at gamestop.
i might consider going the ebay route, but the research part is pretty time consuming, especially with the volume i'm looking at right now. but i could really use the extra cash it generates. thanks for the tips.

You're welcome. It's easier than it sounds, once you have your mailing supplies ready. For DVDs and games I usually just let the pre-filled information do the selling for me, and add a line or two about the disc not having any scratches or whatnot.

Also a photo of the game shows authenticity
-
I may have to do this. Thanks. :-*

I just traded in about 7 games, and made off with $170 in credit. I picked up Ass Creed and COD4 used, since they already sold a shitton already, I'm sure they wont miss one sale. I have about $80 on my card, for DMC4.
-
Thanks!

What does Halo 3 trade in for? I haven't touched mine since I finished the SP the first week it came out, not wanting to hear the various combinations of negro homosexual I would be called on MP

I traded in Halo 3 couple days ago. GS is giving $28 for it. GameCrazy is giving $30.

thanks

Also, I walked up to the 360 demo station, after seeing a woman play a game on it. So I pick up the Les Paul, and find out its Rock Band. I choose "new difficulty" cause I can do expert on that shit and look cool. Unfortunately, the game locked up on the loading screen, so the guy restarted the Xbox.
... it red ringed. HUAHUAHUAHUAHAU

Shit, I need to take advantage of this coupon this weekend.

PS3 is home to several solid, but not GOTY-worthy titles.
