Does your "plan" involve putting in a premature Amazon trade in to lock in prices? lol Or are you all about GS's 50% bonus later that week? Because you know with GS's bonus they will be universally lowering TiV's. Not saying it won't still be worth it but sort of hard to plan ahead based on GS's ever changing prices.

I still can't find any gs - BBV flips to make things worthwhile

bullshieet ... you stir them up as much or more than any member,

then stop the bragging and car posts... we get it...

sad or funny as hell if some lurker swoops in on your area to search...

Yes, it would be funny as hell if someone beat me to it.

I have pretty much the last 3 BBVs that I know of in NEOH.

Anyways, if I can get my car back then I'll flip to GS with the trade 6 get 40% + 10% for PU.

I'll be in the Cleveland area for the deal, the race is on.

How'd you know I already preemptively locked in some TIV's to Amazon? I know I'm never going to find enough copies of the two games I'm mainly after to make it worthwhile, but you never know. I plan on scouring the local BBV stores today to see if any copies of the two I locked in are around. If not then I can sleep in on Tuesday and not give a crap.

The way it is I have 3-4 pending Amazon trades which are just gonna expire since I can't find the games to complete them.

Just out of curiosity has anybody had trouble trading in games to Amazon from BBV? I ask because many times they write numbers on the games/cases. I tried to trade in my ME 2 from BBV and they rejected it for seemingly no reason. Only thing I could tell was that the case has 001 written on it (which I can scrap off no problem, if I would've known) and the cover art is a tiny bit sun-faded.

That's why I nitpick over copies of used games I buy from stores, since I never know when I might try trading them into someplace that is more selective than Gamestop.

I have had employees bring out 3-5 copies of games before and let me see each disc before I choose one and I always make sure to get the case/artwork/manual and that it's not faded from being in the sun or whatever.

Many Blockbuster stores will keep the extra manuals/cases/artworks in one of those huge drawers back behind the counter, so if you want the best condition copy just ASK.

Moreover, if your disc has some writing on it, just use a tiny dab of something like lighter fluid on it, let it sit for a second or two and then GENTLY wipe it. It should take the marker right off.

For sticker residue left on cases, just use a piece of clear packing tape or the sticky part of the sticker(s) you just removed. Re-stick the tape/sticker on the spot with the residue and quickly remove to remove any leftover residue.

Nice fresh start lol

I noticed that Saint's Row 2 is not listed for PS3, but saw it at my local. Any word on whether this is an omission from the list or a YMMV?

I'm just gonna try to amass enough credit to get a copy of the FNV CE for PC, and maybe some points cards or something.
