Here are the base TIVs from what I traded in this afternoon at GS, as well as some rather interesting news.

PS2 Stuff:
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within - $4.00
Capcom vs. SNK 2 - $5.75
Prince of Persia: Two Thrones - $2.25
Dualshock 2 - $3.75
PS2 Slim - $25.00
PS2 Component Video Cable - $2.25
PS2 S-Video Cable - $0.65
PS2 Composite Cable - $2.50
PS2 Memory Card - $2.75
PS2 DVD Remote - $0.65

PS2 Games not accepted:
Maximo Ghosts to Glory
Mobile Light Force 2
Capcom Fighting Evolution

Total credit received with promo and edge: $81.41

Here's what really caught me by surprise; this particular GS no longer accepts for trade or sells Gamecube hardware, accessories, or games. As the bulk of what I wanted to trade were Gamecube games I was pretty disappointed to hear this. Apparently this is something that going on nationwide, according to the store manager that checked me out. Stores that have had a low volume of sales on previous-gen items, most notably Xbox and Gamecube, have been required to return their inventory and can no longer accept them as trade-ins. I was told that a store about 15-20 minutes away still sells Gamecube items so I might drive down at the end of the week.

The 50% bonus program + edge 10% actually makes nearly all of my GCN games worth more at GS than Amazon, and as much of a pain in the ass eBay has become for sellers lately I'm hoping I won't have to go that route.
