any word on if they will be extending the tiered trade deal like they have in the past? I have some games I want to get rid of and my GS just closed because they close at 6 on sundays.

My TIVs, 1/4/09

Base/ Edge Bonuses (All PS2 games)

Siren $2 / 2.80
Outlaw Golf 2 $0.75 / 1.05
Disaster Report $0.75 / 1.05
Cold Fear $0.95 / 1.33
Magic Pengel $0.95 / 1.33
Primal $0.55 / 0.77
Flatout $1.50 / 2.10
Ghosthunter $1.50 / 2.10
Kuon $0.95 / 1.33

I thought I would at least get 20 dollars. Instead, I got 9.90 for Base and 13.86 after bonuses . The GS employee told me that Kuon, Siren, and Magic Pengel are rare (i doubt it, $3.90 TIV base for these three? Yeah, they're 'rare'), hard to find titles according to their store. It's alright, hope you guys find these TIVs helpful.

Sorry this is a repost.. but I just wanna know if anyone knows this:

Its been confirmed by multiple ppl in the Blockbuster thread. I saw the official signs today and it is definitely "trade 3 360, Wii or PS3 games worth $1.25 or more and get $10 bonus".

Just remember that you must trade multiples of 3. If you trade in 4-5 only 3 will get the bonus, if you trade in 7-8 only 6 will get the bonus, so on and so forth.

The $10 bonus is still better than the 40% on the cheaper games. It makes a $1.25 game worth $4.70 rather than the $1.75 it would've gotten with the tiered bonus. Granted, $6.37 after bonus would've been better, but there's really no point in whining about it.

Here's what I got TIV (before discounts):

I got hit with resurfacing fees in 2.00 increments on a few titles and one for 3.00 (why the odd amount?).

Actually, games that are traded in with refurb fees have labels automatically printed out for them that read "defective." These games will be sent to a warehouse (or wherever they send all the defectives when they put them together). What they do with the games after that, I have no idea. All I know is that my store labels the games as defective and ships them out.

Some trained monkeys remove the labels, and ship them to random stores.

TIV 1/04:

:
Battle of the Bands - $5

No refurb fees, eventhough, about half of the games deserved one especially both Pikmin 2. You just have to get to know each store and employee. I have 3 GS in my area that have never given me a refurb fee. I also know which employees don't check the discs; They just check to make sure the game is there.

I think you mean Mercenaries 2. Mercs (original) sells for 19.99 used so it prolly gets no more than $5.

In any event, I do believe this promotion is finished. Moving to Graveyard.

I don't think it should necessarily be moved to the Graveyard. It should just be edited in the title to reflect the new "Trade 3 Get $10 Extra" Deal. That way we can continue to have a database for TIVs. (this is assuming JP is okay with updating still)

Does Gamestop charge tax when using EDGE credit online?

Goodbye, sweet sweet tiered deal! How we'll miss you!

Once guinaevere gets everything straightened out with the new thread I will post the link there. I should be continuing as the OP but we shall see.

Exactly. This is a very important piece of information to all CAGs. Something should always be up in the Deals section, even if there isn't a specific deal going on.

Well we got the new thread up and going. Agree with guinaevere on new thread, bit long page number for this. I just copied over the old values from this thread. Thunderbirds are GO!!

Also, please post all values in the new thread.

Wheres the thread with the new TIV database?
