Man, for what some of you trade your games in for, I would pay you that and a bit more even. >_>

Went yesterday (2/11) but just got a chance to add here now. Already submitted to TIV database.

X360 - Fable III - $18 base - dropped $4 overnight
X360 - Backyard Sports Rookie Rush - $7 base

Hmmm God of War 3 is still at 10$? Thinking about getting rid of my extra copy from BBV rather than try to sell it I guess. Might all get rid of my Black Ops and rebuy it later.

Question: Does anyone else find it odd that at gamestop the CE version of games go in under the regular version?

while in gamestop yesterday I saw copies of Mafia 2 and RE 5 Gold both listed under the normal versions. I really wanted to pick up mafia 2 but had already beaten it. Just wondering if anyone else thought this was odd?

Base tivs:



Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2: 18
Gran Turismo 5: 20
Madden NFL 2011: 18
Fallout New Vegas: 12
inFAMOUS: 9
Castlevania Lords of Shadow: 16

for wii
Star Wars The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels $5 2/12/2011

Went up since January.

wow im not one of those silly gamestop bashers but i have to say im surprised at how low some of the tiv is for certain games.

Yeah, how come you guys don't use craigslist for selling locally. selling lords of shadow for 16 credit, I'm sure you could have gotten at least 25 cash easy. but I guess the ease of having a gamestop to trade in allows them to have crazy low trade in values.

Base TIV

PS3
Gran Turismo Prologue - 5
Black ops - 25

Total of $48 credit after 50% + 10% power up card.
Not too bad.

I'd like to take this opportunity to mention something unusual. Apparently, via the GS employee, their servers were down today, so I may or may not have gotten power-up points. But that's not what I want to discuss. What I want to mention is that, perhaps due to these events, I apparently received the 10% trade-in and used-purchase bonus, despite my edge\premium PUR membership having been expired since november. I even mentioned that my premium membership had expired when I handed the employee my card! I know when they initially scan the card the bonus first gets applied, then is usually removed sometime during the finalizing process. I am simply at a loss as to how to explain this...

He kept saying "but it's such a great game!" before deciding not to trade in. He also mentioned that between that and the three other games he had with him (all of which were gamecube 2ksomething sports games) he thought he'd be able to pay off a new copy of black ops.

Fat people tend to think differently then the rest of us. Especially those with bad skin.

Me too, plus they bought a PS2 from me with a bad CD drive, but they turned it on without a game in it. They also took a 360 controller that had the home button glued in and the battery pack taped on with masking tape. The manager took it. I saw someone returning it the next time I went in, it's just madness what they sell there sometimes.

Also one time they gave me $30 for an empty Mario Strikers case.

Wow, where do you live? I never want to shop at a gamestop where you have ever lived by.
