Tiered game trade 3/4/5 get 10/20/30%. Wii 30% trade-up offer.

[srviver104]

just a quick note, Virgil from the Riverside, ca store called. (finally a blockbuster employee turning against the store) and said that ROCK REVOLUTION trade in price dropped to 4.00 today (was 19.00 yest.)
so don't buy that game to flip. Blockbuster is finally catching onto flipping, but they're already done for.

maybe this is a good thing, why do you need a lot of credit, since blockbuster is going out of business at the end of the year. Virgil says they are going to try and push games one last time, and you should hear their insipid and totally asanin planning on how to do the floor plans. at least they will go out in flames....

Huge Thread, so not sure if this has already been discussed. Can you trade in multiple copies of the same game, or is it YMMV? If you can't, is it possible to then trade in the same game on different visits, or is it saved in the system?

There's only one new guy at that place.

I've been successful getting TIV's over the phone at the one in Universal Citywalk. They aren't specific but give you a price range, which I find odd...

[Devil May Cry]

Mall. I prefer the mall one, you know that. I'm real chill with the employees and manager there.

[nietzsche74]

Awesome, I just turned in some old DS games and Infinite Undiscovery (from the BB 9.99 sale) and got 14 bucks back for Infinite Undiscovery.

I think that's called "flipping", or something.:joystick:

[iNFiNiTE HORiZON]

they dropped the price for Infinite Undiscovery from 40new, 35used to 30new, 25used...guessing because of lots of trade ins.

They don't really care about if it has HDMI or if it was a premium, the 360s kind of get parted out. Here is the information you would want to know:

GS continues to drop tiv:

Also met soup-nazi's cousin at another GS location today. Refused to look up any tiv's so he lost my pre-order. Placed my pre-order at another GS location with nicer employees.

[iNFiNiTE HORiZON]

This was asked a lot with Motorstorm. No, there was no problem trading them in. If one says no, it's not there's tons of other GSes out there.

the game in question for me is Guitar Hero 2 that was included in a bundle with a guitar, idk why it says not for resale :\

hopefully they'll just take it.

Skies of Arcadia - 5.00 (no change)
PSP
Jeanne d'Arc - 4.50 (down .50)
Phantasy Star Portable - 14.25

With the 30% bonus on top of that, I had enough to get a free copy of Valkyrie Profile: CotP for DS, which made me feel better about having coughed up $30 for the decidedly lackluster Phantasy Star Portable during the Gamedays sale...

PS2-
DDR Supernova - $3 (down .75)
Singstar Mic - $2.75 (down .25)

And on the topic of Singstar Mic's, I brought both in (without the adapter), and was told I had to trade in both mics and the adapter for the $2.75. I kindly said "no thanks," and he proceeded to give me credit for it anyway (according to the receipt, anyway). $2.75 seems pretty terrible for 2 microphones and an adapter, so I'm hoping to get better luck at another location.

[jdawgg76]

Singstar mics are treated as a generic mic for trade-in purposes. It looks like they sell new for $30 at GS so $3 TIV seems REALLY low to me.

I was really suprised that RE5 is still at $30. I hadn't finished it yet, but since I had just bought it at the B2G1F sale a few weeks back (and thus have two other games to play!), I couldn't resist trading it back in for ~$8 more than I'd paid. =)

[davesandstorm]

Conceivably I could take games to Gamestop and trade them in, then run across town to EB in the mall and use my store credit on my Edge card to get another XBOX 360 and defeat the "good towards games only" disclamir? Is this correct, or would they potentially flag the value on the card as a "game only" value? I'd hate to trade in a bunch of games and not be able to use the credit towards the second system. Granted I could just use all that value later down the line, but I'd like to spend as little out of pocket money as possible on a backup system.

The "good towards games only" means you only get the 30% bonus on game trade-ins, not systems or accessories. You can use the store credit on anything you want.

[crunchewy]

I'm hoping they keep this trade 3/4/5 get some percent extra promo, but it would be good if the percentage got bumped up. Regardless this has proven nice.

[bgame2]

Hey jp, someone else (or multiple someone-elses) may have pointed this out already, but did you notice that in addition to the 20% bonus for UFC, Batman and EAS active, that Gamestop also has a separate promo listed on their site for a 30% bonus for trading any game towards Batman AA. I know t his makes no sense but it is definitely listed. So unless I'm missing something, we could go in with any number of games, trade them towards AA for this promo and avoid the need to have 5 games to get the 30% bonus. Now obviously we'd have to go back and cancel the preorder at some point but it should still work. Again, I apologize if this was pointed out already.

[darkasian]

I've thought about that before bgame. It's just anything with an $8 or less value doesn't seem worthwhile to trade in for me. I do run the risk of trade values declining for the games I sit on, or my friends just get cheap games as gifts.

[zaff2000]

any word on new promos

[RelentlessRolento]

for the teird trade, does it include games for any system or just the big 3?

How do I create an account to edit the Cag Wiki? I have a ton of GC and a few GS trade in values to update. When I go to 'Login / Creat Account' it only let's me log in, there's no create account option. Thanks guys.

[JP]

Basically you ask Cheapy for access, however, I asked the same thing of Cheapy so I could copy all the items from this thread into there and he said to just hold off because there is a better way in the CAG Beta. So pretty much the only people who can update it are the ones who already have access, which is why this thread gets large and I remake it every couple of months.

Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness: $2.25 (not in OP)

After tiered trade + edge, total was $62.65

I also had a copy of Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal which they wouldn't take due to top-side damage - a tiny spot you could see through in the label. :( The game played fine as far as I could tell. I'm thinking of blacking that spot out with a sharpie and seeing if they'll take it, but I won't get to take advantage of the tiered trade as I'm not going to get back to a GS before the end of the weekend. Oh well.

[zaff2000]

i called one of my 4 local gamestops and i asked them if they where extending the tiered trade deal after mothers day (a.k.a the 10th) she said let me call another manager and put me on hold when she took me off hold she said yes but she didnt ask manager when it ended

My GS told me over the phone that the tiered promo was ending today. He said a different promo is starting tomorrow. He knew what it was, but said he couldn't tell me. Anyone have any luck finding it out? I have some games to trade in, but knowing the new promo would help with a decision. I guess I'm just going to have to take a chance.
