Trade in value and bonuses?

[kube00]

Thinking about trading in some of my games either to gamestop (wince I know) or Hastings. Games are complete and mint. Hastings also takes movies. I'm putting it to Fallout 3 or Dead Space most likely and I know GS has the power deal for extra 20% trade in credit when you put it toward Fallout 3

What I am looking for is a general idea of their value, and yes I have an edge card.

Games
ps3 Battlefield BC
ps3 DMC4
ps3 Resistance (maybe)

ps2
Star Wars TFU
TimeSplitters Future Perfect
Lego Indiana Jones
Lego SW the Original Trilogy
Marvel Ultimate Alliance

In generic cases, Fight Night Round 3, Red Dead Revolver, Madden 2004

DVDs
Hitch
McGyver Season 3 and 5

I figured with most of this stuff I could get at least $50-$100 at Hastings just b/c they give you a lot for games and when I got GTA IV I traded in a bunch of crummy ps2 games. Is the Fallout deal better then the Trade 2 360/PS3/Wii games and get an extra $10 credit through Oct 12th deal?

Goozex is an option as well since a few of the ps3 and some of the ps2 games are in high demand, but I'll have to wait for someone to trade me a copy of Fallout 3.

I'm not sure on the GameStop value, but here's a rundown on FYE and eStarland using their online TiV info (and assuming your games are complete and in very good quality):

---

FYE (TiVs good as of 10/6):

Games
ps3 Battlefield BC - $21
ps3 DMC4 - $6
ps3 Resistance (maybe) - $8

ps2
Star Wars TFU - $16
TimeSplitters Future Perfect - $0
Lego Indiana Jones - $14
Lego SW the Original Trilogy - $4
Marvel Ultimate Alliance - $5

Fight Night Round 3 - $2
Red Dead Revolver - $0
Madden 2004 - $0

DVDs
Hitch $1 (Full-Screen) or $.01 (Widescreen)
MacGyver Season 3 - $8
MacGyver Season 5 - $3

Base value: $88
+ 45% (+20% for in-store credit +25% for pre-ordering Fallout 3): $127.60

Fallout 3 @ FYE = $60 or $80 (LE)

FYE and GS seem to have similar TiVs so I think GS might be a base of $80-85, then add $15 for the Trade 3 PS3 get +$15 promo, and boost all the other games by +30% (promo + Edge). +40% if the cellfire coupon (+30% +10% Edge) is extended. This is only a guess, though.

Another option would be to see if a CAG might want these games and DVDs and is willing to get you a Fallout 3 to trade for your stuff, or match what you would have gotten from a trade in with cash.

[kube00]

Thanks JAR, yea, CAG is always another option.

[kube00]

Too bad the FYE in my area closed...

[slidecage]

do you have a suncoast they might have the same promo (same company i think)

[kube00]

Nope Suncoast has been gone for awhile from this area.

Went to Hastings. Didnt get much for the boxed sets of McGyver so I kept those

But I did get:
Marvel UA: 6.50
DMC4 $12
Lego Indiana Jones $14
Time Splitter FP $3
Force Unleashed $18

53.50 wasnt too bad

I didnt trade in Resistance or BattleField BC and they wouldn't take Lego Star Wars(blockbuster case), Madden 2004, Fight Night or Red Dead Revolver. Does estarland do cash or is it only trade in credit?

Does estarland do cash or is it only trade in credit?


eStarland would give you cash equal to 70% of the credit value.

Thanks

How can you check the trade in values for DVDS or games for FYE? i dont see it anywhere on FYE's website.

[kube00]

I also found at even though I didn't trade it that BattleField Bad Company was worth $30 credit at Hastings
