I knew I should have traded in my copy of Uncharted 3 last week. BB just dropped the TIV to $5 and last week it was $9. I was going to trade it in for the 100% TIV. I was just going to go to Frys and price match BB for Uncharted 3 CE after I sold my SE. Oh well, still going to get the CE and I might as well keep my SE for anytime. Might just sell it on eBay.

EDIT: Actually I'm going to buy the CE and sell my SE on eBay with the online pass that will come with the CE. I already used my online code so it'll bump up the price. I could get a good $20 on eBay.

according to their game trade in app under "offers" the 100% bonus promo expires 12/28 :o

Considering MSRP for a new/sealed copy is $19.99 now, I would say that trading it at BB is likely your best prospect, since nobody will pay the full $20 for it when they could get a new copy for the same price.

BB TIV is now $5. I already checked on eBay and people are getting theirs sold for $20 w/ a online pass. I'm sure I'll get the same.

But there's no guarantee you will get the same. That's why even though I've lost money over selling on Amazon or eBay I've just viewed the smaller losses as a convenience charge for being able to get the money/credit right now.

Actually FYE and their stores would give you $12.50 cash money right now for UC3. If you use the 20% more cash coupon that's floating around the net and good till months' end, then you can bump that up to $15 a copy and not have to worry about shipping anything out or being scammed on eBay.

Then you could sell the online pass on eBay or on here for $5 and get that $20.

Buy it now only instead of auction on ebay = exactly what you want for a game. After they probe you with fees.

Feebay's fee extortion is far more than "probing"

Buy it Now for video games=13% Auction for video games=9% If you have top rated seller status those percentages drop to 11% and 8% So if you do a Buy It Now for $20 with standard seller status and free shipping your fees would be about $2.50+$2.00 shipping+about $.50 PayPal fee so $15 back to you. That's assuming everyone is indeed still paying $20 for it which makes no sense to me.

Exactly. The game dropped to $20 brand in' new after Gamescom. Who in their right mind would pay for someones' used/open copy and pay retail for it when they could go to the store and get the same deal?

Although I suppose there are saps on eBay and Amazon who would pay ABOVE the current MSRP for an item and God bless them for being stupid. Otherwise I would've never sold BLOPS Prestige Editions or PSP Go's for above the $150 and $200 MSRP's with ease before.

I'm good. I've had to do this before with other games and I'm sure I'll be able to sell it for $15 - $20 + shipping cost. Shipping it is nothing too. Rather have that money too and not a BB gift card so it works out.

The money that I get from selling it on eBay will go towards UC3: CE and I'll really only be paying $10 for the game.

Much easier and less chances going on eBay.

Also, I only sell my stuff to people with good ratings on eBay so I don't get scammed. I've have been on the verge of being scammed but I saw the signs and made sure to not sell.

Alright man. If you say so. But note that I did say that FYE would give you $12.50 right now for UC3 and that's CASH guarandamnteed and if you use that 20% more coupon you're getting up to at least $15 and again it's guaranteed.

Good luck either way.

I'm also trying to sell my UC3 and would be happy to get $12.50 for it. I haven't heard of FYE before but how easy is it to trade in games with them and how do I get one of those 20% coupons?

Just Google the 20% coupon, as there should be some sort of scan or image of them available online. Have you ever heard of Coconuts or Sam Goody or Strawberry media stores? Same chain.

They're in a lot of malls and usually many of them will take game trades even if they no longer sell them themselves.

They're very heavily saturated in the eastern portion of the US according to the store locator map on their site.

Here's a store locator for them: http://www.fye.com/Store-Locator_stc...6VVviewcat.htm

Yep, If I'm close to FYE when I go to Frys later on in the week, I'll see if I can. Either way I know I'll get over $15.

Might as well update the OP/title with the new expiration date(s), as the game trade in app indicates this bonus expires 12/28 as noted previously, and I specifically asked the trade in clerk today when the deal expires and according to his check of the system, it indicated "Oct. 6th". So we have at least until then and hopefully/possibly until after Christmas.

hey guys, quick question:

i have a lot of store credit at a local used games/electronics store, but their selection of games is usually pretty underwhelming. right now i'm trying to save up enough credit to get a vita, however they have very rarely had one in stock, and based on the condition i've seen for some of their other handhelds i wouldn't be shocked if it was scratched and nicked.
i've been thinking about maybe getting some games from there, and trading them at best buy; which games should i look for to give me the best trade in value?

considering we don't know what their underwhelming selection of games is I would figure out what they have and then use the trade in estimator in the OP, thats gonna be your best bet.

Every buyer on eBay has good ratings considering the fact that you can't leave buyers any feedback other than positive.
