I made a great deal a few times now!!!

Well guys you might find this to be a bit scamy though, I think I'm right at doing this. When I buy games, I usually buy them online from ebgames.com . Though I am Canadian, they always send me a few that don't work because I buy used ones.

So I thought what the hell I'll try to take them back to a EB Game store in Canada for an exchange. Well I did that and they exchanged the game without any problems.

I started thinking what if I buy a cheap game off ebgames.com such as Max Payne 2 which is like $2 or something like that and try to trade that in. Well I took it to the EB Games store in Canada and got $14.99 for it because I could exchange it within 30 days of buying it. Now I have gotten a few games this way and seems to work pretty good.

Do you think I am doing a bad thing or do you think they are being dumb and not catching this? Let me know! I just know I'm getting games really cheap!!!

Um, does this mean that they should be setting the ones that don't work aside for us filthy Americans?

Seriously though, you buy them off their own site for less than they give you to return them? That's not a bad deal at all!

[Scruffin]

No, I just mention I was Canadian because of the whole fact that I can buy them cheaper from the USA then here. Nothing against Americans.

I return them in 30 days for the retail value they sell them for in the store. Which is usually a lot more then what they are on the site. Some used games are $49.99CAD and on the site they are $19.99USD, makes a big difference!

Sounds like buy low sell high to me. This'll not last long, though. EB will wise up when enough people start doing this.

I've been doing it for over 2 years now and nothing has been said.

Apparently enough people aren't doing it then. . .

Hmm thats kind of neat how cheap are cigarettes in Canada? Maybe we can set up an American Canadian EBgames RjReynolds import scheme. :)

lol cigarettes are sky high right now like $6 a pack. They are trying to get rid of tobacco. I live on a Tobacco farm and there are other ways to make cigs instead of getting them produced from a company.
