that sounds like a brilliant solution.

Mostly kidding, but i'm so annoyed that amazon is going the way of gamestop with their trade ins. Pay as insultingly little as possible and rate condition as low as possible when buying, charge as much as possible and rate condition as high as possible when they sell.

Makes business sense, but it doesnt mean i have to keep using them.

I have started ordering everything on amazon individually with my prime so they have to spend more on me. Its my little way of sticking it to the man

you know they don't have to pay anything extra right? Apparently they have an all you can eat deal with UPS.

Any updates on those 360 Elites w/ $230 TIV?

Just let him think he's sticking it to the man

all he's sticking it to is the environment with all that packaging and gas being used for those extra packages.

I double-box so that they don't slice my stuff open. It has worked for me so far..!

The same applies to Amazon/Noram/whatever-they're-called-now.

Yeah, the only one's he's hurting is UPS.

$110 tiv on this item

This is how I get my boxes and bubble mailers. although they do group individual orders together if placed too closely together time wise.

I'll give Best Buy a look just in case...

My Elite was accepted! $200 for "good".

Considering I had most of the original packaging but the box and controller were a little beat up, and considering I've gotten many hundreds of hours of gameplay out of the 360 in the 4 years I've had it... I couldn't risk attempting it as "like new".

Now, it's time to get a new slim with that credit. I'll have to get another hard drive, but I can use my 16gb of flash memory all my stuff is stored on for now.

In no way do I condone or even recommend this no name shop that I've never heard of. But if you're feeling risky...

Also, it's possible you might find this in-store at walmart. It's at least listed on their site.

Epic Mickey is up to $25 for those sitting on a copy and missed the $25/$30 value at Best Buy

Update: I got the $230 for my Elite!

Considering it had been refurbed once by MS for a not-quite-RROD-error, this was just a great trade for me. Thanks Amazon!

Condition I selected: Like New
- Excellent box condition
- All manuals and documents that came in the box
- All the wrappers for the cables (controller, headset, power block, power cable, hdmi cable, audio adapter)
- Spent extra time wiping off the controller, and used a toothpick to get the crud out of the seams
- Even more time dusting the vents and behind the faceplate on the Elite, and wiped clean the outer case
- The box had a sticker that said "Forza 3/Marvel UA included", but I did not include the games.

Good luck CAGs. Now to go spend some Amazon credit!
