Discrimination?
Interestingly enough, both Gamestops and BlockBusters have been asking for all of my information lately. One of the GS managers said its was a state policy and a BB manager said something about complying with local regulations. Basically, the state considers them a pawn shop.
As for the flagging of my account. I have read my BB trade-in agreement. Where does it say I can be banned for following there guidelines. I am the sole owner of the property and have not aquired anything illegally. I haven't been banned or anything, just wandering if that is a BB manager overstepping his or her authority.

Crackdown's $3 for a reason.
Almost everyone who bought it on release day got it to play the Halo 3 beta and then traded it in when the beta ended. So they're overflooded with what's actually a good game that most disregarded when trading it back in.

so you trade in one game and it gives you bonus 30% credit of how much that game was worth?
Yes. So, if the game's trade-in value is $10, you'll get an extra $3. If you have the Edge card, you can still get the 10% bonus, as well. Thus, a $10 trade-in value would get you $14. Still not the greatest of deals, but it's useful when you aren't able to sell it to someone else or trade it off.

Just in there today trading in one of my manhunt 2's from Amazons deal. Its trades at $14 (15.40 with Edge card) if anyone is interested. With that I got FF III DS new for $4.00! We'll see how good it is.
Anyway, Halo 3 is still listed at the top of the trade-in values board in store at $35. This is at my location (Blacksburg, VA) but I'd say its nationwide.

Usually can't combine, but some people will override it. Unfortunately, the override has been very rare recently, at least for me. Still, you can always stack the EDGE extra 10% on top of the 30%.

Depending on which coupon you used you either got $44.80 or $49 BECAUSE the first time the 30% coupon came along the trade value dropped to $32 from the previous $35. The last 30% the value went back to $35 and has remained through monday at least. ;)

If you're lucky you can get the clerk to combine this with the $10 coupon for trading in 2 or more PS3/360 games (at least I think that's what it was, the clerk gave it to me of her own volition and I couldn't read the coupon). Had to force it but hey.

Ratchet TOD-$25 + $10(40%)=$35
I was thinking about trading mine in, but I definitely want to have it to keep, and it's not worth the hassle of trading it in now for $32.50 (no edge card) just to get it for a few dollars less later.
I am trading in a few old games though, like Paper Mario TTYD, Socom CA, and Wind Waker. It saves me the hassle of using something like goozex when I can get almost the same value from gamestop with this coupon. They all should be around 7 or 8 dollars before coupon, so I'll get a bit of money for them.

Right now, GS has a deal on trade-ups for the PSP. You get $70 for the origainl version, which is basically the same as their "$20 on a system trade-ins" deal. That's probably the best deal you'll ever get for trading in the older PSPs.

I may still end up trading in Orange Box and Mass Effect, but for now it looks like I'll be saving some gas and time since Halo 3 looks to be confirmed for a $30 credit.
Mass Effect is $30 dollars TIV also.

I only got $30 before coupon for Halo 3! :bomb:
Wasn't it $35 just yesterday?... That's fucked up for lowering the value like that though!

Especially for a game that is relatively new and still goes for $60. But I guess with all the sales on the various editions of Halo 3 we have scene lately, they have probably have a big influx of HL3 trade-ins, thus lowering the value.

Before coupon values (for CAGWiki, if anyone cares to add them):
Bust A Move Deluxe for PSP- $5
Wind Waker - $6
Socom Combined Assault - $6
Paper Mario: TTYD - $7
I walked out with a little more than $31 without an edge card. Not great, but I probably only spent $50 combined for them.

Traded three in tonight:
Dead Rising (360) ($9 base + $0.90 edge + $2.70 promo)
Tiger Woods 06 (360) ($2 base + $0.20 edge + $0.60 promo)
Star Fox Command (DS) ($7 base + $0.70 edge + $2.10 promo)
= $25.20 total
I also tried bringing in the DS Web browser + the memory cart, but the guy said they don't take it. :(

I was actually able to still get $35 for Halo 3. My Gamestop (SF, CA) had a sign posted above the registers stating trade-in values for games. One of the games there was Halo 3 for $35. Of course it rang up for $30 though. Lucky for me however the manager approved the $35 credit based on the sign.

This may sound like a dumb question, but do they track your credit by name? My card expired and the last time I traded something in the lady said she put it on the card. I still have that credit right, even though the card expired?
Also, are all stores linked? If I trade things in at two different EB/GS stores, does all of the credit go into the same credit "pool" that I can use at any GS/EB store?

Your "card" expired? Or the discount sticker expired? If you didn't renew your Edge card discount all that means is the sticker is no longer valid for 10% extra trade-ins or 10% discount on used games. The credit is still stored on the card though - think of it as a reloadable gift card. The credit storage is completely independent of the membership.
If you trade at 2 different stores and put it on the same card, then, yes, you can use that credit at any other EB/GS store. I don't think they keep credit sitting on store accounts (like Blockbuster and Gamecrazy do). They've certainly never given me that option in 3+ years of game trading at EB. If they did, then, no, it probably wouldn't be accessible from other stores.

Obviously not.
How hard is it to read the coupon? It clearly says "any games." Not "any system." It doesn't mention accessories either, so that MUST mean it applies ONLY to games.

Just took back some games (before bonuses):
Zelda Twilight Princess GC: 15.00
Super Smash Bros GC: 14.00
Figured i didnt need two copies of smash, and already had the Wii version of TP, but thanks to the coupon i ended up with 40.60 in store credit used that to get Mario Galaxy (used, with the 10% off any purchase coupon, and edge card) time to see if it lives up to all the hype, thanks for the coupon!!!!

You should add YMMV since only some stores will accept the booze, most do accept Hookers though but trade in value varies.

You'll still make $28 off of it with the Edge Card included with the coupon.
That's still something compared to what it might drop down to within a few weeks. You're better off doing it now while it's still worth at least something.

12-20-2007, 03:38 PM

12-20-2007, 11:17 PM
Naruto: Rise of a Ninja = $24 ($33.60 after bonus/edge)
Halo 2 = $10 ($14 after)
Halo = $8 ($11.20 after)
Total = $58.80
Bought Naruto for $35.74 w/ 30% coupon earlier in the year. Got both Halos for free. Pretty happy. Update the Wiki with Naruto if you wish.
*Edit* I didn't know you had to be 18 to trade in games. Luckily my mom was in the parking lot. That's a little interesting (Like wtf, the state trusts me to drive a car under 18, but I can't sell my games to GS?)

I've always wondered about that type of profit making. Buying games at Pawn shops just to resell them to Gamestop. Is there some money in this action?There is, but you have to know which games are worth trading and do it only when there's a good promo like this one.
I have a mental list of old games that Gamestop still gives high credit for: Halos, Mario Kart, SSB Melee, Animal Crossing DS, Pokemon Diamond/Pearl (those aren't so old). I dunno about the pawn shops elsewhere, but new games rarely pop up around here.
Considering that Halo is $9.99 MSRP at places like Best Buy, giving $11.40 in credit for it is borderline ridiculous... although it's store credit and not cash, which makes a big difference, especially if you use that credit to buy another used title that they gave some poor sod next to nothing for.
If I come across anything else rare, I'll flip it myself. Outside of this short list of titles, GS is gonna rip you off on anything else.
