Many of the middle tier games have not changed much. Even Max Payne 3 is still $16 base for the entire week. I am trading 6 today that never changed since the 100% bonus started. All are between $3-7 base. I would not worry too much.

higher. I think it dropped to $14 with the sale last week.

Well, left my games home this morning by mistake. Meant to grab 'em on the way out of the door. Guess I'll be trading them in tomorrow. Here's hoping prices don't drop in the next 30 hours.

I don't know if this has been answered before but I have two questions.

1. We can trade in games that we didn't buy from Bestbuy , correct?

2. Does the online estimate include the normal value + 100% trade in or just the normal value ( e.g. $5 for one case)?

Thanks in advance.

1. Yes, though I've heard of Best Buys that require a receipt or proof of purchase for some trade-ins. I don't know the details, unfortunately.

2. Just the normal value--e.g., Max Payne 3 is listed as trading in for $16 online, and you would get $32 total when you trade in-store.

oh damn..i know i'm probably late, but i see the base TIV of MW3 went up to $17 instead of $14 :O

netting $35.70 after promos and GCU!

i just rebought this game last week for $20 after sale, GCU coupon and RZ cert...looks like im going to trade it right back in haha

Does bestbuy still take DSi's for tradein? How much do they give us now? Their console tradein thing on their site is glitchy as all hell and rarely works, it lists zero for 95% of the consoles even though they still take them.

Dang. I thought I deleted that link fast enough after seeing 1 store close has it!

Not sure about all the vaults. I saw the deal on SD some weeks back.

I see there's an ME3 vault, as well. Don't remember if BB has that 1 or not.

Traded in 26 shit games and got $220 in credit.

Getting $6 each after promo for shit like Kane & Lynch and Golden Axe is absolutely awesome

$35.70 MW3, glad I had to finish well start single player so I kept it another week. I'm off next couple days and it's raining so I guess i'll beat SP so I can trade it in. HAHA MP time 10 DAYS 13 hours, hmm wonder why I got burned out in late Feb/early March and never came back.

Ok so my trip to Best Buy went well. Traded in 6 games for $62. The guy up front told me about the 100% bonus and I said I already traded 37 games last week and he responds "you're that guy". Not that it was a lot but I think I was the 1st big trade for them Sunday so I must have made the rounds.

Yeah, I bought this last week with the GCU online coupon for $24.99. Gonna do a run through the campaign this week and give it right back to BB.

Yeah it is cases like this where I end up getting rid of a game because the TIV is just too good to pass up. I am never actively looking to flip but in cases like this I just trade for the added value. Same thing happened with BF3. It was DOTD for $19.99 a few weeks ago so I bought it. Well, the TIV last Sunday with bonus was $29.40 so I just had to trade it. The great thing about most video games is the price continues to drop over time so take you credit when it works in your favor, even if your backlog is not very deep. The game will come back eventually to a price worth buying again.

Shadows of the damned $9 PS3 $8 X360 base TIV grab it from AMZ, play/beat it all for $5ish. or Buy used @ gohastings for $15ish & profit when done.

I can't figure out the TIV for Mario Kart Wii using the trade in estimator. Does anyone know the value?

The estimator says Mario Kart Wii is $10 base, so it would be $20 with the 100% promo, $21 if you have GC Unlocked

Ok! Traded in $533 worth of games today and turned around and got a wifi Vita and ANOTHER $50 gift card. Was pleasantly surprised at the total.

Well done. What games did you get for the Vita?
