Eek. Next time get a qtip/paper towel and some $2 & change Goo Gone from Home Depot or Lowes or wherever instead of taking a $9 hit over some stickers.

We're old...she's young. Serenity now! I don't watch that show often, but isn't that dad, Jerry's dad?

If you mean in real life, no, he's Ben Stiller's dad.

Omg. *crawls back into crib and prepares for spanking* Just YouTubed/Googled it. Frank Costanza, George's dad who plays Carrie's dad, too on the other show.

Still worth $40-$50 used on Amazon Marketplace. I sold a vanilla European edition for $20 last month.

Originally Posted by Tabe I brought in a bunch of stuff to my local Gamestop and ended up with $170 in credit: - Wii - DS Lite - extra Wiimote - extra nunchuk - Wiimote charger w/rechargeable batteries - Wii component cable - DS games: Metroid Pinball, New Super Mario, Nintendogs, Hamsterz, Brain Age, Animal Crossing, some crossword game, Texas Hold 'Em - Wii Games: Wii Sports, Animal Crossing, Glee Karaoke, Just Dance 2 The DS Lite had stickers on it so lost $9 on that but still got $31 for it total. Used my nephew's "power up" card so I got an extra 10% on all the games and accessories. That's on top of the bonus 30% I got on the games. Took a beating on some games (25 cents for Texas Hold 'Em...) but did great on others ($18.20 for New Super Mario DS). All in all, very pleased considering this stuff hadn't been played in at least a year. Now to figure out what I want for that $170... Tabe

I see you're new so I'll let you in on something. In this thread it is customary to post the base trade-in values for those items. Example:

10/9
Mass Effect Platinum Hits - $10

You might not have picked up on that looking back at the last few pages with mostly trade talk. Welcome!

So BBY sent me a GOTY Borderlands so I called and asked GS what the TIV was. It is $15 base. So both Dead Island and Borderlands Vanilla are $10 base while their GOTY editions are $15 base. Time to figure out a tiered trade with these. You could get up to $21 each.

Also: Phone TIV

Binary Domain $9

Figure all of these are listed in the promo, but just to confirm trade-in values (base):

Super Mario 3D Land - $17
Mario Kart 7 - $17
Borderlands GOTY (2 Disc) - $15
Darksiders - $9
Forza 4 - $17

Got $117 after bonuses--all set for my fall releases!

PS3

Assanssin's Creed Revelations $10
Resistance 3 $8
Dead Island GOTY $15
Borderlands GOTY $15

PS Vita

Unit 13 $10

Just an FYI, GameStop is no longer taking preorders for AC 3 LE and Black Ops 2 Hardened.

Base TIV as of 10/08/12:

Xbox 360
Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY $5 (promo does not apply to this version)
Left 4 Dead 2 $17

Wii
Super Smash Bros Brawl $13

Can someone try trading an original Arkham Asylum to see if the base value really is $7 and that the promo works on that version?

(If so, that is crazy, as the last base value reported was $2 and the non GOTY version would get $11.20 with PU Pro while GOTY gets only $5.50)

Are people getting 50% also for the GOTY versions?

No.

Well it looks like my PS3 launch fat is dying. Any idea how stringently they check the hardware to see if it works before trade ins? It's fine in the XMB but freezes up after about a few minutes of gameplay.

Devil May Cry HD Collection for PS3 trades in for $15 base

they usually turn it on and then put a game in to make sure it can read discs, I've never seen them actually play a system

The 50% is only for the non GOTY but the GOTY got bump to $15.

it's funny because his character is virtually the same.

Guy at my store played a few minutes of COD on me, but he did fail to notice the fact that there was no warranty seal and the serial # was taped on... so yeah.

I did get denied for the no warranty at one gamestop though, so YMMV on how much they check.

What's a wii trading in for these days? Or do you think they will have some kind of trade up to wii u deal?

Xbox 360
Resident Evil 6- 26(base value)

PS2 slim system- $40.00
