Gamestop (as well as most any retailer that accepts trade ins) do not take instruments anymore. I learned this the hard way when I picked up Beatles Rock Band for $30.

Gamestop no longer takes the guitars at all, so only the game would be able to be traded. There's a whole Gamestop trade value thread for you to search to find the value of the game. But chances are it's much less than you paid and thus NOT flippable.

Yeah, I was kind of afraid of that. Oh well. Thanks for the info (both of you).

I returned both of the Bioshock 2 LE's that I picked up last week. I checked the price on the scanners, since they have the ones you can enter the DPCI into, and it was still coming up $19.98 a copy.

O_o

You're crazy, you could have at least flipped them.

Hell, I know some of those BS fiends over at the official forums would have paid top dollar for the extras.

I would love to find that so I could finally play the game.

I had them on my TL here for at least as long as I had them and only maybe two bites.

But that's probably cuz I was adding about $15 for shipping, since I had no clue how I was going to be able to ship them other than Priority in my own box. I don't really trust anything other than first class or Priority anymore from the USPS, since alot of my stuff seems to get banged up en route otherwise.

The way it is, I now have about 90-ish PS3 cases(and probably twice that for 360/Wii cases) that I'm trying to unload for $1 each($1.50 w/ artwork and/or manuals), but I know once I say 'shipping is extra' people are gonna flip and change their mind.

Those GI Joe action figures finally hit 1.39 at my Target. Summer/seasonal toys will also be on clearance soon.

You know its just people being total cheap asses and wanting everything for nothing.
Your not wrong on charging shipping, look on Fleabay there are a bunch of people selling manuals,cases,etc. for set prices with extra shipping.
As for those big ol' CE Bioshock 2's did you try and Shove it in one ofr those Priority Flat Rate boxes for like $9.95 er something like that?

I doubt it will fit in any flat rate boxes. The largest box is like 12"x12" and that's the size of the vinyl itself, excluding the collector's box. Shipping won't be cheap on this CE.

the CEs are unsellable to make a profit.

Still full retail price at two of the stores here in Madison, WI. Gone (after clearance) at two of the others.

That was the first thing I thought of as far as selling them went, but like eau said the biggest box they have isn't large enough to accomodate the embossed box the set comes in.

Maybe if those CE's are still there a week or two from now and drop to $7.48 I'll rebuy them, but as of now they can stay right there.

What does that thing come with that the box is so damn big? I see them in the store and they remind me of the large game box displays from Gamestop.

The CE comes with a vinyl record with an orchestral score from the original Bioshock, a CD version of the soundtrack from Bioshock 2, a hardcover artbook, three posters made to look like some of the ones around Rapture(but with hidden messages that show up under black light) and the game itself.

Have no idea if it's allowed but will USPS accept it if you wrap it in brown wrapping paper?

The box itself is pretty sturdy so I would think it would hold up in shipping.

Except it'll get dented like crazy and the person receiving it will get all bent out of shape too.

IATTCG is right to return it. You can always divide up the parts and sell them individually but really not worth the hassle.

Picked up Dissidia Final Fantasy for $7.xx.
