Any idea if they will take Kong (GBA) and Super Mario Bros. 3 (GBA)? If so any idea what the TIV might be? thanks.

edit: nvm on Super Mario Bros, didnt realize it was Super Mario Advance 4 ;) and thanks diddy, hopefully end up getting the 11 + 50 percent bonus.

Do they take all GBA games (Kong for example)? jw, I'll try it tomorrow anyways and see what happens. also gonna try to give them a Mass Effect that has one of those circular scratch rings on the bottom of the disc and see what happens (I've actually brought it in there several times, their reactions to it are priceless, employee: "what do I do with this?" manager: "we cant take those ones...") oh and the second time when the guy stared at it for 30 seconds and said "we dont take these". and when the other guy held it up to the light and stared at it before saying they cant fix it lol.

King of Fighters 00/01 didn't show when it was scanned, neither did Psi-Ops

Diddy - being under $1 shouldn't have mattered, as far as the trade-in deal is concerned. I traded in Madden '07 which was less then $1 base, no problem. Scanned fine. There is no minimum for this deal. However, all trades are subject to manager approval. I.e. They can make their own rules. You could try trading them into a different gamestop.

I traded in some more games today for the extra discount

PS3
MLB: Front Office Manager - $14 (down $1)

DS
Nintendogs: Mini Daschund and Friends - $9 (no change)

PSP
God of War: COO - $9 (no change)

PS2
From Russia With Love - $1.75 (unlisted)
Nightfire - $2 (unlisted) Interesting, this game is a couple of years older than FRWL and yet is worth more.
NHL 2K6 - $0.70 (slight increase)

Here's my trade:

Wii Fit w/ Board
55.00 = 82.50\\:D/



You really want to make me trade in my Wii Fit and balance board. I don't remember the last time I actually used it for its intended purpose. Right now I'm just using it as a $90 scale but just bought a real scale and realized how inaccurate the Balance Board is. It was nice to see my little Mii character drop down a size recently, but getting that close to the actual cost of the game for a trade-in is quite tempting.

TNA Impact: 360 = $4 now at a gamestop by me

Every time I see the TIV for this game drop I get sad inside. I paid $60 for it when it first came out. I don't know why. I'm glad I traded it a while ago though I've never taken such a loss on a game before in my life. It's the reason I'll probably never buy new again.

You have to confirm this for me. I know that if we buy a used game and pay for it in full we don't have to pay the tax. I didn't know it was for pre-orders also. I always pre-order but I never pay in full even when I have the money or credit. Now I'm looking at my SF4 receipt and I pre-ordered it. I put down $5 so the rest was 54.99. I traded in some games and got 147.49 back. My receipt says New Merchandise $4 refurb fee and $54.99 for SF4. The total was $58.99. I got back $88.50 so from what I see I did not get charged tax. I hope this is the case because this will help tremendously on that RE5 CE and RE5 360 Bundle.

Hold up, not paying tax for using store credit? Could I just add cash to my card then? or will they not treat it like a gift card.

Like can I add 55 dollars to my edge card, then come back the next day and buy SFIV used for 54.99 without tax?

speedrunner17
03-02-2009, 12:33 PM
I don't think they will let you add money to the edge card. You could buy a gift card, but I don't believe that will be store credit. You would have to trade in some stuff to get store credit. Also I believe it depends on what state you live in. I confirmed this with two of my GS. They told me if I use credit to buy anything in the store then I won't have to pay tax.

biledriver
03-02-2009, 12:35 PM
no you can only just put trade in credit on the edge card to be tax free.

Denbo32
03-02-2009, 12:44 PM
I guess you could buy something, and return it for store credit? But that sounds like to much work to save 8.5%

worshipsf
03-02-2009, 12:54 PM
No tax for store credit is only valid in some states. Also, you cannot combine Edge (trade-in) and gift card money.

Also, 95% sure that buying something and returning will not work... they will give you gift card money, not trade-in credit.

To pay for something? I don't see why not. If I have $65 spread between a gc & on my Edge card, I'm sure they'll let me use that to pay.

And I have a related question. How do they know if something is store credit or a gc? One time when I traded in some games, I told them I just wanted to put the credit on my Edge card. But then I switched out cards and gave them a gc I already had so I wouldn't have too much on one card. That should have been store credit, but will they think it's just a taxable gc now?

I know there's over a month left on this deal, but I'm really hoping for a +$10 deal again soon, because a bonus of $3.34 per game is looking alot sweeter than the $1 I'd get on alot of these crap games I have.

03-02-2009, 04:10 PM
Ok, this talk of no tax when paying with store credit has me intrigued. I'm in California and have the RE5 CE pre-ordered and paid in full with STORE CREDIT. They charged me the $89.99 + tax, so I'm assuming that if it is not done automatically then that "no tax" rule is null and void in my state?
Also, I had purchased a used game from them about a week ago, swapped it for another game on the same day and was not charged sales tax.
I ended up returning it a day later and was issued a gift card because the "purchase" of the game took place through an exchange, and upon looking at the receipt today noticed that I was credited the amount I paid along with the sales tax figured in, giving me an extra couple bucks. So what the heck is going on?

I want to get that cleared up and see whether or not I should have been charged the sales tax for my pre-order. Also, is there an actual list or something that states these rules and which states qualify/use them?

Why so many people trading in the Sonic's Genesis Collection?
Seriously, that compilation alone has tons of possible playtime on it!

Hmmm, I've got two sealed Fallout 3 Collector's Editions for PS3 that I paid $30 a piece for in the Circuit City liquidation...no one wants them off of craigslist. I'm wondering if I should trade just the game in as part of this deal with some other crap games, and keep the collector's tins and contents to sell separately.

If I can scrounge up 6 games total, I'd be getting $22.75 x 1.5 = $34.13 a piece for the Fallout 3 games alone. I also picked up a phat DS yesterday off of craigslist for $10 (no AC adapter so I'm going to buy a used Gameboy SP one at Gamestop today), with Asphalt Urban GT.

I'm wondering if I should just get the $20 + $25 bonus trade in credit on the DS, and use Asphalt Urban GT as my 3rd game. Maybe I could just buy 3 crap filler old sports games so I can get the 6 game 40% bonus. even if I spend $1 or two for some old PS2, DS, Gamecube or even GBA sports games, it would be worth it for the Fallout 3 bonus...

Are they still new/sealed? If so, you should be able to do a bit better than $34.13... split out the games from the collector's stuff and sell on craigslist or Amazon, should be able to get $40ish easily (real money instead of GS credit.) Though, $34.13 each is not bad at all, really.

Yeah...I really don't want to sell them so cheap. I will probably keep trying on craigslist. Maybe lower my price from $50 to $45 or $40 for them.

Are they still new/sealed? If so, you should be able to do a bit better than $34.13... split out the games from the collector's stuff and sell on craigslist or Amazon, should be able to get $40ish easily (real money instead of GS credit.) Though, $34.13 each is not bad at all, really.

I have a similar issue, but it's with the collector's edition of Saints Row 2. Should I attempt to sell it online sealed? Separate the game out and just sell that separate? or Trade in the game for around $30 GS credit? I bought it for $24 at CC the other day. Or.... is this game worth playing? I have a huge backlog as is, but if this is a spectacular game I'd consider playing it a little first.

Yes, they are still 75% off. It's still listed on the "deals" page of the gamestop website. 85% off with EDGE.

Hmmm, I've got two sealed Fallout 3 Collector's Editions for PS3 that I paid $30 a piece for in the Circuit City liquidation...no one wants them off of craigslist. I'm wondering if I should trade just the game in as part of this deal with some other crap games, and keep the collector's tins and contents to sell separately.

If I can scrounge up 6 games total, I'd be getting $22.75 x 1.5 = $34.13 a piece for the Fallout 3 games alone. I also picked up a phat DS yesterday off of craigslist for $10 (no AC adapter so I'm going to buy a used Gameboy SP one at Gamestop today), with Asphalt Urban GT.

I'm wondering if I should just get the $20 + $25 bonus trade in credit on the DS, and use Asphalt Urban GT as my 3rd game. Maybe I could just buy 3 crap filler old sports games so I can get the 6 game 40% bonus. even if I spend $1 or two for some old PS2, DS, Gamecube or even GBA sports games, it would be worth it for the Fallout 3 bonus...

What do you guys think?

I have a similar problem with my DS Lite, need an AC adapter to trade it in. Wasn't aware that a GBA SP charger would work...?

Yup, the DS Phat and GBA SP charger/AC Adapter is the same. 5.2 V...I used my GBA SP charger/AC adapter to charge up this DS phat I scored.

Although, Since you're looking for a DS Lite AC adapter, Gamestop sells them - $15 (highway robbery) for an official Nintendo DS Lite AC adapter new, $13 used I think (if you can find it used). BUT, they have a third party one that can be used for DS Lites, DS phats, and GBA SP's. It's $10 new and $8 used if you can find it. I'm not going to pay $10 new for a 3rd party charger when a used one can be had for $2 less PLUS an extra 20% off of that (with EDGE and the 10% off used coupon).

I just got back from looking for a used one. Went to 4 stores, all of which listed the used ones as "in stock" on the website. Not only that, 2 of these stores allegedly had Steel Battalion for XBox complete with the giant controller AND used Gamecube component cables. Of course, NONE of these were in any of the stores.:bomb::bomb::bomb:

Bonus $25 on trade-ins of current-gen (Wii, PS3, X360) consoles and PSPs and DSes. Unfortunately, with the laughable trade in values, it's still a big rip.

Funny thing though is, 1 of the stores I was in today had tons of Gamestop cardboard boxes touting "used Wii's in stock, $200". I was surprised...with the way they try and get market rate for hot/in demand games and items, it was quite shocking they weren't asking $245 for the used systems, LOL...

It's $45 trade-in value for the DS Lite, plus the $25 bonus credit.
So $70 total.

On another note, because this promo is around again. Refurb fee for non-working handhelds is generally 50% of the trade-in value. But the bonus will still apply. So that broken DS you bought on Craigslist for $15 will still get you $40+ credit at Gamestop. :D

$70 for a broken DS lite, really? The shoulder button doesn't work but the D-pad doesn't function to well either as well as the hinges, so the top part just flops up and down :/

:ds:

:wii:
Super Swing Golf Season 2 $4.00-->$6.00

Total credit issued was $296.11

Again, if you're in the Bay Area, they are running this program where every $100 you trade in, you get an extra $10 in trade credit. With this, I built up 29 stamps, which equals to 2 full cards (which is an extra $20) and 9 more stamps to another card (1 more stamp will equal another $10). With that, I was able to redeem one of my cards and they applied it to the PS2 Singstar Microphones. Instead of $3.50, it got a $10 override and it had a value of $14.85.

They keep telling me that we're in a test area and they are hoping that this program goes nationwide. This has been going on since November of last year.

Used the extra credit today and bought a used Street Fighter 4 for :360: as well as a Chun Li fightpad for :360:

Cheers! :applause:

Wait hold up, what cable are we talking about there? Are we talking about the same camble that goes into the power supply of a computer?

If so I think I just found like 20 bucks worth of GS credit.

yep. your standard power cable can work with your ps3! they sell them at wally world for 7.xx. I bought one for when i travel. and GS buys them--just not for very much anymore.

get ready bc the controller charger cables will follow suit.. unless they still keep selling hot when used!

Hey, I decided to just buy the official Nintendo AC Adapter for my DSLite, I got a new one. But when I plug it in one orange light comes on on my DS for a second then goes out, and my DS won't power on, it's been plugged in for a good half hour. And then I tried switching outlets and it does the same thing, the little orange light on the top right of the DS comes on for a second but it doesn't seem to be charging. Any way to fix this? it was given to me by my girlfriend and she bought it over a year ago I think (it was hers but she gave it to me) so it's probably not under any warranty anymore :( help please?

Traded some GC games today. Traded in 10 games and picked up a used copy of Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for PS3, and still have 7 bucks leftover in credit. I figured trading 10 GC games I don't play for this sweet Genesis collection was something I could live with.

Your battery's dead. You need to replace the battery. There's a third party one and I *believe* Nintendo sells them on their site's store. You might be able to find the third party one in GameStop.

http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=67470 It's $3.99, but good luck finding a store that still carries them.

Anyone know if you can return "New" (open) copies of a game?

I just now was looking through a bunch of the stuff I picked up at GameStop today and realized he slipped in a gutted copy of Burnout Paradise. I wanted a used copy for near 16 bucks but he said they didn't have any in, so I said that's okay grab me a new one, and I went over to grab Mario 64 for DS and bought several other things, and just now realized he gave me a fuckin gutted game for 20 bucks...that I'm now scared probably can't be returned.

Did he put that clear circle sticker on it? They're supposed to "seal" the gutted games when they sell them new. Just return it, it should be fine, especially if you only bought it a day or two ago.

i bought it last night. i was doing a big trade in and looking at things to purchase and i mentioned that i wanted burnout paradise so he grabbed a copy from under the desk while i was browsing, for some reason i thought it was sealed (cus he put it under my copy of halo wars and SonicsUGC). the seals on the top and side are clearly ripped open and the box is the platinum hits box and it has some obvious dents and scratches on the outside of the box lol. so far from new... disc is in pretty good condition besides some smudges. has the "NEW 19.99" square sticker on the top right (on the actual box...) idk nothing about a clear circle sticker?

My GS never uses that clear circle sticker and every new game I've bought there (aside from midnight launch stuff) has been gutted. The only one I ever took back, I actually took back to a different store and the manager said he wasn't supposed to do the return, but did it anyway. I guess what I mean is, good luck.

03-06-2009, 05:14 AM
Well the one I took to a different store, I also used a gift receipt. If I were you, I'd just take back to the original store and tell them you really didnt want a gutted one and didn't notice until you left. If it's only been a day or two, it might work.

Oh, that's what you mean by gutted. My GS does this too. They usually put them on the shelves. I don't know why they put 20 new release games of the same title on the shelves. I think its dumb to open almost every game that comes in the shipment just to put the cases around the store. Then they wanna give you an open copy and put a clear sticker over it. I remember when ST4 came out all copies were already open and behind the desk with the stickers on them. The following week they got in another shipment. They left these copies sealed though. I guess its how many copies they have of a game. The thing is your not going to find a sealed copy of an older game at GS. All games that are older will be gutted. I have noticed that some GS have a lot of sealed games behind the counter and some have opened copies. It might differ between how the mangers run their stores.

Anyone know the TIV for Smackdown vs Raw 2009 for the 360?

Also, I saw someone mention splitting up the Kung Fu Panda/LEGO Indiana Jones two-pack. I take it I just put the disc and instruction for each inside a different case, but is there anything I should know before doing this so it doesn't look suspicious?

No matter what, you could look potentially "suspicious," but considering you aren't doing anything wrong or against their policies, you should be fine. I just wouldn't bring up the fact that you're breaking up the combo pack.

You can also just bring the games in as disc-only, but there is the chance they will charge you a refurb free.

traded in some games and got enough credit to get a new Jasper Arcade and none of the Gamestops in my entire city have any in stock.

is there some type of shortage on these things? i had no idea they were this hot where you can walk in and buy a Wii at most Gamestops but not an Arcade.

Is there a huge benefit to doing it this way? I mean other than getting two games to put toward the six rather than one? I can't find the TIV for LEGO Indiana Jones so I wasn't sure if it and Kung Fu Panda separately got better trade-ins than the two-pack. Thanks for the advice. I'll probably just use two generic Xbox cases for those two.

Lego is $6, or was $6, so you should get $3, plus another game to use as filler. Not the hugest of things, but still nice.

For trading in a system (the Wii), are the remote and nunchuck considered "necessary components"? I'd assume it just means the plug and AV cable (and maybe the sensor bar; which I have a wireless one of).

If anyone has traded in a system, if you could let me know, I'd appreciate it. I'd like to trade this in later today or tomorrow (and the remote and nunchuck will net me an extra $25 or so, if not a "necessary component").

If anyone has traded in a system, if you could let me know, I'd appreciate it. I'd like to trade this in later today or tomorrow (and the remote and nunchuck will net me an extra $25 or so, if not a "necessary component").

Console trade-ins require a controller.

Okay, true. I'm putting it there for the benefit of people who read it later.

Thanks.

I knew I was eating a bit by trading in, but I also knew these were all going to a DSi preorder, and since I don't have to pay tax on a fully paid-off preorder (which saves me close to $20 in New York), it was worth the few extra bucks to avoid the hassle.

Okay, back to this no tax on store credit issue, anyone know if it applies online? What about ordering online in NY?

I would try it outmyself but I have no store credit as of now, but I will be trading in some stuff tomorrow. And I would like to pick up some stuff with the B2G1 online, but if it no tax, I might just search NY for a store that has 3 games I want.
