Probably preordered it from gs.com before they stopped you from being able to use the 25% off codes on preorders.

I've had instances where USPS took 2-3 days for 2 miles.

Base TIV's from Today:
Battlefield Bad Company 2(PS3) $22.00

Assassins Creed Bloodlines(PSP) $6.50

Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier(PSP) $5.00
Star Wars Lethal Alliance(PSP) $4.25

Traded all of that (+2x RDR) for 2 copies of Blur (so I can beat my wife online) and a $20 PSN card for Joe Danger. My store made no mention of the trade 3/$10 deal and it didn't show up on the receipt. Did get a flyer listing all of the Ohio GS running the PowerUp card though.

I know it's a slippery slope so that's why I think it should be limited to accessories, but there's got to be people trading in PS2 Network Adapters and not realizing they can get 6-10 times online what Gamestop is offering them for it. Game prices and Gamestop promotions fluctuate so much that you can USUALLY get close to what you paid for something if its fairly new or you can at least get a DECENT offer for older stuff, but I'm sure some people would like to know they could sell X accessory for much more than Gamestop will buy it for. I know I didn't realize what PS2 NA's went for on EBay until I became a CAG 4 years ago so it might be something to help out newer members. Of course I guess it would be so filled with abuse that it couldn't be done, but just food for thought I guess.

To be honest, it seems that about 50-60% of the people don't even read the first page let alone the entire first post. I could add it, but those values are very dynamic. Right now the PS2 network adapters don't get anywhere near what they were 6-8 months ago. At least from what I've seen. Also, like you said, it's a slippery slope. Where do you cut the line off? Why just accessories? It could very quickly get out of control, which is another reason I don't necessarily think a portion in the first post is really the correct place.

Since I've been doing this thread in particular I have seen no less than 3 attempts at this, either in the trading forum or in the deal/shopping discusses forum. It always fails. The trading thread ones always fail because they only offer like $2-$3 above gamestop offerings and never add-in shipping costs. The threads with info normally get buried. It's just one of those things.

Those are just my thoughts on it though. Mod may have a different idea entirely.

I aim to serve. Glad to be of help to the community. Thanks for the values! Keep 'em coming everyone.

Working on updating right now guys. It does look like tomorrow will be the same scenario. No chance to update until later in the evening.

a few changes:

wanted(360)- $5
ghostbusters(360)- $4

traded 6 for the extra $20, promply ordered bioshock 2 and mass effect 2 used with the online promo. this thread made it all possible!

PS3 - Backbreaker = $15

Thanks for this new quote! I have an extra one of these from the BBV sale and didn't know what to do with it. Turning that $2.50 purchase into about $5.25 at Gamestop is nothing spectacular, but it is good filler for the trade 3 deal and clears up that much more space from my game clutter .

jp, what I would do on those two particular items (PS2 NA and GC component cables) is just put a note in the list saying that they are much more valuable online than what GS gives. I think I did that with a few items when I maintained the list. There is no need for a special section (that you are right, no one would read). But if it is just a few words after the price on special items like that people are more likely to see it.

Good call on that. Will do that here in a few minutes. Got the lists caught up, almost done getting the database up to date.

Updates to lists database complete. Thanks for the ideas and wording MSUHitman and io. Got that taken care of as well.

So NSM is still getting $25 + 50%?

No problem Io, I have a couple left over DS Games from that sale as well, I got 2 mismarked Pokemon Explorer games, but they fetch quite a bit online as well as TWEWY, which I kept in my clutter

Originally Posted by J7. So NSM is still getting $25 + 50%?

Yes, just traded it in literally 10 minutes ago, so you get $40 after edge

Originally Posted by J7. So NSM is still getting $25 + 50%?

Yea and also Mario Galaxy 2 got bumped to $25

Nice. Thanks. I may give them my Galaxy 2 too.

Picking up Alan Wake tomorrow with my credit!

How soon do you get the $10 credits for ordering the games? I ordered NSMB after trading it in and the order is now closed.
