Target buy 2 get 1 flip - Centipede: Infestation for 3 DS is $19.99, buy 2 get 1 free for $39.99 + tax. Best Buy based TIV is $11 with bonuses, $17.60. So $52.80 for about $42 out of pocket.

Ah I see. Wasn't aware there was a trade-in limit until now. Thanks for the heads-up.

SS: Once Upon A Monster is a BB to BB flip. Buy for $9.99 plus tax and it's TIV is $9.

Of course, welcome. No matter what the employees tell you the trade in limit is, I wouldn't recommend going over 3 copies of the same title for each system.

Dead Island for 360 could get abused. $8 used with coupon at BB and trades in for $16 at BB.

Actually $24 cause all games traded in this week gets 50% bonus. If you have GZ unlocked its another 10%.

Have you guys tried this? I just got back from picking up dead island on both ps3 and 360 and it totally broke the system some how. i didnt even get my 10% for gcu but i got ps3 version for 9.99 and 360 version for 5.50(i used 2 $10 off preowned coupons). both games said 35 used but i knew it was actually cheaper. i bought the only 360 version at my store, but then i walked back in and traded them in for 48 total. with tax and everything it was 16.79->48. woot!

I couldnt spam the coupon this time so no dead island flip for me lol

It has been stated before that 2 or more pre-owned games in the same transaction will only take the 10% off of one game. They still haven't fixed this. Do separate transactions.

I'd be wary of flipping on games like this. From one store to another is one thing ( gamestop to bbuy or vice versa). But buying from bestbuy and taking it to the same store or even others with deals/trade in values like this seem like a good way to get warned/banned from trade ins. I'm sure it depends on the store and employees but i don't know if I'd be willing to risk it.

So is the 50% confirm in store without preordering anything?

I can confirm that the 50% is without preordering anything. Alot of titles took trade in hits. I traded in uncharted 3 for $20 this morning and fable 3 for $4 before bonus.

Got $40 in credit for skyrim lol. They'll make a $5 profit on that tops. When will they learn

yeah im glad i flipped uncharted 3 last week. 37.50 instead of 32, but not that bad difference.
and yeah i think im gonna trade my grrls copy of mw3 for 40. same price i bought it for last fall. we just dont have time to play games together anymore...

Same. I just got back from a trade in 50% bonus plus 10% GCU.

Thanks to the Cags who pointed out the 1:1 GS to BB flips. Purchased 2 MW3(1 ps3 1 Xbox) & UMvC3 for 100.xx and traded to BB for 105.xx This was a good way to move credit. Purchased two $50 Amazon Cards. $100 closer to a tax free Vita.

I just got back from trying the 3 MW3 trade in flip at BBY and the guy at the gaming desk told me A) I could only trade in one copy of the game per day, meaning I would have to go three days in a row in order to do them all and B) that the GCU didn't stack with the %50 bonus. Did he just lie and make up stuff?

He lied on both counts. A) could be his and/or store's policy, but it's not BB's policy. B) Automatically in the system.

So can I go back in there with a printed copy of BBY's policy and have them do it? Or do the store's policy come first?

I don't think he lied, he is just flat out wrong!
