Ghostbusters for PS3 is trading in at over 10 bucks...(PS3 version only, 360 is at 2 lol)

You can try calling Customer Service and see if they will give you the extra credit that it went up by as I beleive other Cags have gotten it done that way. And this also is a good reason in case you didnt do it, to always wait the full 7 days before mailing your trade in if you can. That way you can cancel and relock if it goes up.

Some people make it a habit of complaining. Keep in mind that every call and email is recorded to your amazon account. Doesn't matter if its $2 or $200 they will see it.

And this is why I never complain about the small stuff. People love to get $1 back and then say "THIS IS CHEAP ASS GAMER RIGHT? CHEAP ASS GAMER!" And then when they get denied on a $20 issue, they wonder why.

Save it for real important issues. Even Amazon's goodwill only extends so far.

^ Agreed, I only complain to Amazon when I really feel it is necessary, like a couple of times I have ordered from their grocery section and gotten expired items.

I'm not sure if this is the first time this has happened to anyone here but instead of downgraded on condition, I actually got upgraded on condition.

Game 1 was a XBox game in a generic black case with no manual and writing on the disc and a lot of scratches. I submitted it as acceptable, they revised it to good.

Game 2 was a 360 game also in a generic black case, former rental with no manual and very scratched. Like game 1, I submitted it as acceptable and they revised it to good.

Never forget the great Amazon Ban of 2008.

Based on some of the nonsense pulled by people (and I'm referring to the more shady activities, not just requesting a refund/credit), I'm eagerly awaiting the Great Amazon Ban of 2011.

I know I'm paying indirectly for their shenanigans and that pisses me off.

Pes 2011 for ps3 trading in for $22

LOL. I cant wait. Bestbuy needs to do it as well. They also seem to keep alot of information on trade-in customers so its only a matter of time before it happens.

I've been banned twice and it was for completely minor stuff. Banned from using coupons at gamestop...all i did was use a B&W coupon a few times. I also got banned from secondspin for trading in just 2 flintstones dvds!

Indeed - some people make it a habit to pull shenanigans on Amazon. And to make it even worse, all those chat conversations are directly saved. Hopefully no one gets banned, but respectively, it would be nice for people to stop abusing Amazon's 'kindness'.

Is it possible to trade in the kinect from the xbox 360 slim kinect bundle if I use the retail kinect adventures box?

I think in that case you are missing the power cable so that will be a problem.

vanilla non-goty ps3 games (tiv):
battlefield bad company 2 ps3: $16
borderlands ps3: $8

totes worth it for me since i bought borderlands from toys r us for $7 and bad company 2 from blockbuster for $10 clearance. additionally, borderlands goty is on sale for $15 next week on psn for ps+ accounts. i may or may not buy that.

then i upgraded my multiplayer fps to killzone 3 CE lightning deal this morning ($40 on sale). should last me until a great battlefield 3 sale comes along.

Kinect with Kinect Adventures is trading in for $90.75 right now. I don't know if this is abnormally high or not, but if I'd had mine for a while and was bored I'd definitely take advantage of this value.

Of course you'll need the correct box (the kinect stand-alone box... bundles with 360 won't suffice).

And if for some reason you don't have Kinect Adventures, you can pick one up at Gamestop for $4.

In addition, the Xbox 360 "Trash Talk" is holding a $37.25 value right now. I never even knew what it was, so I looked it up. Gimmicky, lame, and therefore hard to find, but you can order it from this site for $32 shipped, and maybe less if you happen to find it elsewhere.

This Modern Warfare 2 headset for PS3 is also holding a ridiculous value at the moment. Once again, good luck finding one quickly, but if you already have one...

If I had the cash to spend, I'd probably capitalize on some of these, but my funds are pretty tapped at the moment so the only flipping I can do has to involve credit. :(

I got TDU2 at BB for 10 bucks and I locked in a $14 TIV, but the cover has one of those Best Buy exclusive car things on the front, so will my trade get rejected because of this?

It's in the FAQ on the first post.

My cover art (PLATINUM HITS) differs from the pic on amazon, will my trade be accepted?

It all depends on the UPC so just turn your game around, type in the UPC into the amazon search box. If the game comes up, then it's accepted regardless of cover art. Click on that result to submit your trade.

BB TIV is $14 w/o 40% extra, and I heard 50% extra coming right after

mlb2k11 is trading at 33.00 today. has potential to get you a discounted single game via bestbuy's b2g1 sale if you consider amazon spacebucks as good as cash (~88.00 for 2x mlb2k11 + a free $40 game. so $22ish for a $40 game (or $32 for a $50, etc)

not mind blowing at all, but something worth locking today if you might be interested.
