I asked for a sealed copy of Dead Island Game of the Year yesterday and the guy was like what is this sealed game you speak of...He actually got one out of the drawer behind him after he tried to sell me a "new" unwrapped one. I can't think of another store that opens everything then sells it as new.

From my experience, they love to take in all your games then give you the final trade-in value after any promos so it looks as if you are getting more than you are. Hey, you got $78.25 in credit, not thinking about you just traded in 20 games. Of course, I always tell them to give me the values individually but there are others that look at their receipt afterwards and see the $1.00 or $2.00 trades they wouldn't have made if they knew the values ahead of time.

I thought about doing this with Red Dead Redemption Game of the Year Editon to get back more separately but they have the discs labeled "Game of the Year Disc 1 and Disc 2" so I'm guessing they would have to both?

Well I just wanted to say thanks again to JP and everyone that contributes to this thread. Within the last week I traded my old 360 and 14 games for the Star Wars 360

would the 30% bonus work if applied to a used console (psp 2000/GO) ?

If you are talking about using the credit to get a used console then yes it will. The promo says any used product and I used the promo once to get a used DS. As usual the GS employees might be clueless (they were at the store I went to) but if they try it should work.

It can be done at home. The limit is one check in per day (5 points).

Just thought I would mention.
Given that 50K points = $50 off coupon
5 points is only worth about 1/2 of a cent

Updated lists and database.

MLB 2k12 - $21
L4D 1 - $16

Values held! Woot.

so im curious...would the 30% bonus apply to my Slim 250gb 360 if i traded it along with my few games in for a refurbed PS3 Slim?

I've been perusing craigslist for the past couple of days and have text people out the butt to try and get decent PS3 slim deals under $200, but a lot of people dont want to drive to meet or it's simply the system and no incentives along with it. And i'm gonna be hard pressed to find someone who wants to straight up trade system for system... seems like most everyone is trying to rid themselves of their 360 for a PS3.

so with the bonus..i could get around $160 credit for my Slim, Skyrim, and GTAIV. Knock that off a refurb 160gb price, and i'm only paying $70 instead of paying $200 or so cash to a private seller.

I think this route would just save me the trouble of buying a PS3 and then trying to sell my 360 bundle (which i originally wanted $200ish for...probably not gonna happen) to make back what i forked out. I'm only worried the refurb would be a dud. Odd that im more at ease buying a used system from a random guy at a meet spot than an "official" refurbished one from a major retailer ahah..

you can rant & rave all you want about how GS is wrong and evil and how the promos are rigged to make you think that your getting the better of them .. but you cant deny this for 48 hrs if you knew what to flip you really did take it to them this week ..

example : Assassins creed REV. 9.99@ bb traded in for 20.40 per copy after 5.00 bonus gamestock promo .

i traded in 6 of them and doubled my money and in the process got Halo 4 and Black ops completly paid off .

i spent 60 cash and got black ops 2 and halo 4 in the end so tell me how that's evil ooh gamestop really pulled one over on me there with those evil promos

PS3
Dynasty Warriors 7 - $13.00
Insect Armageddon - $5.20
Resident Evil 5 - $9.10
3D Dot Game Heroes - $3.25
Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City - $11.70

PS2
Grand Theft Auto 3 - $0.52

Nintendo DS
Pokemon White - $18.20
Rune Factory 3: Fantasy Harvest - $3.90
Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels Star - $3.90
Zelda Spirit Tracks: - $6.50

Wii/DS SD Card 1gig - $.50 (Actually for PSP dunno why it came up that way)

Could you post the base values and not the values after the 30% bonus was applied?

As an aside, that's one heck of an awesome total.

The inflated prices of L4D/L4D2 is mind boggling. You can buy them at Fry's for $20 and almost break even in credit after you've had your fill....

Anyone know how much Rabbids alive & kicking (Xbox 360) trades in for?

Read the front page or call a local store. I'm guessing you are planning on flipping a Best Buy copy tomorrow.

I couldnt make it to GS to do my trades tonight. Hopefully the 2k12 games will hold.

Well they still got one over on you since you could have preordered black ops 2 at best buy and got a 20 dollar reward zone certificate.

Black Ops 2 is not on the list, so no you couldn't.

Well you should probably take a look at that list again on two separate pages it is on the list.

He turned $60 into $120 value at GS compared to $60 into $80 value at Best Buy.
