I called and they said to bring them in. These games are kinda big (cept MP2) and I plan on trading in more so I can't really carry them with me to GS. If anyone knows these game's trade in value at Gamestop, it would be great.

Donkey Konga w/Bongo
Time Crisis 3 w/Gun
Metroid Prime 2
Edit: Also Taiko Drum Master w/Drum

Here's an idea... call them and ask.;-)

My guesses:
DK w/ bongo - $12
TC3 w/ gun - $10
Metroid Prime 2 - $14

Just trade them off here, you'll get better deals.

I did call......as for trading here, I would but DK and TC3 are big games so I don't feel like shipping them. I just got the 50% extra GS coupon today in the mail, so that's why I'm wondering. I would never trade those in with reg. values. Thanks for the estimates though.

Bah, your Gamestop dude's are being meanies. Mine usually let me get prices for 3 games. Just call one tomorrow at a less busy time (Like when it opens) and ask politely to give you the trade-ins. One time I was turned down and this biatch who I talk to all the time is like, "I can't give that info over the phone." SO I got it by calling another. If you're concerned about talking to the same person, just call a random one that's a good distance away, or even one on the opposite side of the country, that way they'll never know who you are.

Usually they tell me up to 3. The last time I did this was a long time ago. Oh well, I am going tomorrow anyways. I might just leave the stuff in the car and ask them while I'm there and if it's good, I'll take it out of the car. Oh, and the GS here is usually nice. The guy said it in a nice way.

Off-topic, but do your video game store guys seem to know their stuff? I know a few GS workers who know a decent bit about games, but most seem to be moronic casual gamers who were hired for who knows what.

I think so. They never really go "huh?" to stuff I ask most of the time. Ummmm, they knew Castle Shikigami when it came out! This is significant because GS never got it...yeah. They kinda crowded around me because they wanted to see it and was really surprised. EB on the otherhand is slowly.......

That's that awful topdown shooter, right? I had Mobile Light Force 2.

I dunno. Ebay lured me to the evil side so I sold it. I figured I could just buy another one to play, but that didn't work out cause couldn't find any. On the bright side, I still had Ikaruga to play.

I think someone's selling it for like $8 on the trading board. I don't know if you want it...

Hack, shipping hose big boxes usually aren't that much more expensive. Most people would probably give you an extra $5 in cash or trade offs to balance for the difference in shipping costs.

I'm telling you man, GS will rape you even with the 50% bonus trade in credit. But it's your stuff...

Oh, didn't trade in any of those. People are PMing me with offer though.
