Man, I love CAG. JP, your OP is wondrous, and because of it I decided to trade in more than I was originally expecting; hoping to clean up on the next B2G1.

Here are my base values from this afternoon:


Prince of Persia - $3
Chatpad - $6 (up from $5)
Wired headset - $6.25 (up from $5.25)

DS:
Professor Layton & the Curious Village - $15
Professor Layton & the Diabolical Box - $15
Contra 4 - $5

GBA:
Metroid Fusion - $2
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 - $1
Advance Wars 1 - $0.60
Super Mario Bros. (classic NES) - $9.75

They couldn't take my DS rumble pak because "It would only get you 10 cents." But otherwise I racked up $95, which the employee ringing me up was really surprised with. Now I'm totally stocked up for the next B2G1, so briiiiiiiiing on Game Days!

Cool so I guess I got lucky, when I got home today I had a used copy of ME2 in the mail that I ordered from them last week for like $40. I figured I would trade it in now and buy another whenever they have a B2g1. This brings my credit to $320 now, most of which I got yesterday and today. I was in the Johnstown, NY area btw.

I understand that, but why did I get another edge card with credit on it?

Your right about that, but I bought it at the same store that I've going for 10+ years. I felt like I was treated like a low life criminal, when he said that he didn't what to be ripped off.

to be fair, buying a brand new game and returning it soon after can be seen as shady. i worked at retail and now it happened a few times.

Other than recently released games, all the values are still shit. Don't really understand the excitement.

Base TIV's
Both Xbox 360
Chronicles of Riddick: AoDA $4.75
CSI: Hard Evidence $8.50

With promo and Edge $21.21, was able to pick up World of Outlaws: Sprint Cars

Can't post TiVs yet, but I gotta say, damn. I traded in about 10-15 games, and got about $140. I figured it up earlier, and had $108. Thing is, i left about 5 games here, so it should be about $50 extra. I need to go back >.>

360 Tekken 6 still $20.75 as of 4 pm 2/24/2010.

then you go and take the extra time and hassle trading somewhere else to make a few extra bucks.

Well I guess I'm horrible at flipping then.

i've had that happen to me too. i dont know why but their system for some reason wont let them put it on the edge card. at least thats what the guy told me. it doesnt really matter to me but i dont want to have too many cards. i like to keep 3 cards with a few hundred on each one in case i lose one of them everything wont be gone.

not sure if anyone can check into this. but with the free shipping form gamefly deal going on there can be some good flips. Marvel Allaince 2. seels for 16.99 with tax. and trades at GS for 15 that be about 6 dollar flip with your edge card. also blaublze sells 17.99 and trades for 15 about a 5 dollar flip finally call of juraez bib sell 9.99 trade for 10 about 5 dollar flip.

if someone can comfirm these games trade in vaules i might what to try this thank you.

Mario Kart DS - $20.00
Mario Hoops 3 on 3 - $6.00
Animal Crossing DS - $6.75
Left 4 Dead 2 - $29.75
Borderlands - $23.75

After bonus w/ edge - $138.03

This is such an awesome deal, haha. I got more than I paid for on both L4D2 and Borderlands, and I can't believe Mario Kart for $32 after bonuses. Awesome.

Has that guy been working there for 10+ years? does he know you on a face/name basis?

If not then it pretty easy for him not to know who you were or if this is normal process.

Some people follow the same process no matter who the customer is, because it their job on the line if they screw up and have an anal Manager.

Today gets better and better, my used Mass Effect 2 that I flipped today had an unused Cerberus card in it.

Unloaded a couple of more old games.

TIVs (Base):

Soul Calibur 2 (GCN) $2.50
Mega Man X Command Mission (GCN) $0.70
Soul Calibur 3 (PS2) $3.00
Army Men RTS (GCN) $2.00
Moto GP 3 (PS2) $0.65
Devil May Cry 4 (PS3) $6.50

I think I have a problem. I have to read every single post in this thread, regardless of whether it includes a Trade-in-value or not.
