The one in Bedford on Glade.
Went to another store afterward and they weren't doing it.

I must say, this thread saved my life when I walked into a Gamestop the other day. I try to avoid that place like the plague, but I wasn't getting any offers from my game trading website, so I headed to the closest Gamestop. The gentleman working the counter quoted me an astronomically low price for all my games until I reminded him about the trade in boost. Thanks OP!

FYI, the 30% promo is automatic in the system (they may have to hit Total or something first) so you weren't in danger of getting ripped off in that regard.

Imagine Babyz $4.25
Petz Hamsterz $4.50

This is one of the things I cannot believe about gamestop. Even now so many employees are unaware of promos and that they need to total it out before the person gets their full value quoted. It makes me wonder how many people walk out with their games never realizing how much more in promo credit they would have gotten if the cashier finished the transaction before quoting or was aware of current promos.

I have been in quite a few stores where the employee was shocked when I got much more credit and I knew full well the boost I was going to get. It really is an unacceptable lack of training from a company that lives off of trade ins.

Thanks OP. I traded in my DS Phat for $60.

Base:
DS Phat: $35

Last time they did that it was only in select areas in Texas to combat Best Buy who was doing trade ins via in-store kiosk that BB was testing out in Texas and I think BB is doing that again.

That doesn't stop them from being able to say,"oh, and there is an extra 30% promo going on now."
