Here's a list of some great flips (mostly 3 to 1 in $!):

A quick question... Has the 20% off EB/GS expired yet?

Secondly, Spiderman 3 for the 360 has dropped to $4, making it foodstamps.

You know. I feel kinda bad buying an Eye Of Judgment w/ starter deck & booster pack for $9 shipped off of ebay considering i'm flipping the game for $36 and can get $20 cash just from 3 of the cards in the deck. Ah well, Gods & Clods I guess.

I got myself another 2 Fatal Inertias for $20 total. I also got a 360 version of Kane & Lynch for $12 (by mistake, no idea if the 360 version gets the same amt as PS3).

Yes it expired.

I am now down to my last $13 in BBV credit. I currently have 8 games to bring to GS later on and I'm thinking of buying 2 more later on. I've sold 2 $9.99 games and 1 $14.99 for $10 cash to people I know . I would have told them that BB had those games on sale, but I cleaned all the BBV's around here of those certain games. I was also watching my friend play Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony that I sold him and I regret not keeping my second copy>_<. It actually looked like fun.

In the end I'll have about $220 GS credit with $30 in cash. Then when I come back from vacation I'll be buying my sister a PSP with my credit(to avoid taxes ) and she'll be paying me $200 in cash. I'll have $230 to buy clearance games and flip to BBV. Hopefully, there will be some more gems like F4 in late August/early september.

And now that I come to think of it. I haven't played video games in almost 4 days. I know what you all are thinking, but I haven't been using more than 1 hour and half a day towards flipping. Usually just 1 hour. Maybe now though I can finish up Ninja Gaiden 2 and a couple of other games.

A couple of people have confirmed that they are taking orders for the Madden PSP. I would go get it at GS to avoid $14 in taxes though.

Are you saying GS doesn't charge tax?

My GS charges tax...

BB charges tax because they give you sales tax on the trade-in...so its kind of six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Oh, but for pre-orders at BBV, though, you only pay tax on the final price. I put 88.99 down on Wii Fit (max amount is MSRP - $1) and paid 1.08 to pick it up.

Different tax laws for different states. I never get charged tax when using store credit.

What do you mean they already pay you tax? If the $33 TIV already has taxes put into it, I understand. But does your BB give you $33+tax or something?

i want to get it in GRush or BB cus i have tons of credit at GS that i can flip to BB.

Yes. Every BBV in a 25 mile radius except for one gives sales tax on top of the $33 TIV...so its actually about $35.XX TIV ;D

Then pay it in full if you have enough credit; theoretically, you should be able to save on the tax, but YMMV.

for my BB trade in, they give you tax. For Example $10 TIV and plus tax that is my total value at my card, but when you use it, it charges tax. so it is all even out.

You see, mine doesn't do that. I get the $30 TIV and then when I buy something I get charged tax. I always lose money because of tax.

I just got back from BBV to use my remaining $13 in credit and I bought dead head fred in hopes that it would be a good flip... Sells for $9.99 used at GS. Crap flip FTW!
