Lol, you're not special nor the first to ever do this. The people complaining have done this to a tee only to get books and pencil sharpeners everyday.

Congrats on being lucky. Dick.

dont tell me you traded in a "new' copy of SF4 for $12 to Amazon? you should have held out and got a better flip using different games and less credit with Amazons other trade of the day..

Just by habit, even if i have no plan to trade in the deal of the day, i still lock it in just in case..

I don't want to speak for the man but I believe alot of people locked in SFIV PS3 at $18.50 on amazon when the GS $19.99 deal broke. So losing like 5 to 6 bucks was worth it to get a $30 coupon.

Hello, I am reading about a lot of people "locking" in a price...what does this mean? I have read the faq's and do not see much information about this. Can someone explain this to me if possible. Sorry I looked for the information in the thread but have not found what everyone seems to be talking about. Thanks to anyone who helps.

So anyone have any recent rejection stories?

I'm gonna try to grab some phoenix wright games with the new GS coupon and I'll be lucky as hell to find the original cover/manual.

I read some of the previous thread and it was hit and miss before, but does anyone have any recent positive/negative experiences with missing packaging?

When the address label popped up Prince of Persia was $9 instead of $16! I think it even still said $16 on the cart before I submitted, too, though I can't be 100% sure of that, So yeah, beware - I'd just submit them ASAP. Luckily I did submit a trade earlier with PoP on it (at $16), though not having the second one limits the amount I can send in (and since they are so easy to find I was going to add more). Oh well... I thought someone else said they were able to keep the prices in the cart even when they dropped? Either that was a fluke (or mine was) or they just changed the way it works (which seems unlikely).

IO, you need to "Submit" the trade-in. You can't just leave it in the cart.

You can adjust the quantity or remove even after you submit. You can't add different games though.

Keep in mind MANY MANY MANY of us (see the threads I started on Amazon) demonstrate they STILL are keeping our disks, claiming we did not submit etc.

After they "investigate" - so far - EVERYONE but one person has been proven to be an error.

I suggest you take a digital PICTURE of your trade ins just in case.

Well, I know that - but someone at the end of the last thread said you could keep things in the cart and pile them up and then get the same trade-in value when you submit even if they dropped. I just tried this last night and it did not work so I wanted to correct that. It was no big deal as I had already submitted the same trade earlier in the day - I was pretty much just testing it out.

Hey guys, I got a question. I have Bioshock for the 360 and I want to trade it in but all they have on the website is the platinum hits version. I think I found the answer on the front page, but I just want to make sure I can send in the original non-platinum hits version with no problems.

Thanks

Nah, I flipped three to them @ $18.50 each, so in reality it was only a $7.50 paper loss.

I think that pretty much confirms that "they" are watching, because I checked my cart today and the values weren't retaining, but they were up until yesterday. I guess we can chalk that up to another loss, and at this point I would question the publication of any "secrets" that people might be encountering, as they won't last long.

Any accessories to use the 50% off coupon on? I don't really want rockband beatles, COD4 with goggles, or TE stick; cant really find anything to use it on.

gotcha!! i thought you submitted at the time when it dropped to $12.. so $12 to $21 is a $9 per a game..

i locked in at 18.50 but i am a procrasinator at shipping so i just locked them in again at 21... and truly im not a procrasinator or i wouldnt have been able to get in on the deal..

I'm going to have to start doing that, because they were post-marked an hour after purchase.

I was wondering if Tax applied to amazon credit, at GS you dont get taxed for purchases with store credit.

Completely ymmv based on your location. Try it out yourself by running a product through checkout.

We have enough reports just over the last 7 days. Its completely YMMV even on NDS. I don't think we should start expecting any different unless we see a change in the trade in terms.


I skipped the Phoenix Wright TOTD for good reason imo....

#1) Yes it is tough to get it complete and in order to get up to $60 you need several complete copies. Too much effort if you are just doing Phoenix Wright games.

#2) we have a killer GS coupon right now that pretty much guarantees us 4 more days of potential flips in the 1:1 range.
