Trade in value for 360 fat version is $45 so $90 total
System was RROD so the fee was $25 plus tax

Also got a quote of $70 base for the PS3 fat 160gb version. The guy at the counter tried telling me he wouldnt take it in with hdmi cables though, I needed the composite and wanted to charge me $15 for a 3rd party brand so I left.

If anyone is going to trade in a wii mote plus and nunchuck I will buy it. I will pay for shipping as well.

msg me

Asura's Wrath - 8.00
Borderlands 2 - 13.00
Left 4 Dead 2 - 13.00
Spec Ops:The Line - 8.00
Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) - 2.50
Xbox Arcade Unplugged - .75
Call of Duty:Black Ops 2 - 18.00

So I'm wanting to buy a black GameCube compatible Wii. Thing is I'm not sure where to buy it from, my options are:

GameStop: this is the place I prefer since I have so much credit, but I know GS can have some really messed up systems.

Amazon: I know theyre the most reliable, but I have no credit and they're a bit more then I wanna pay.

Cowboom: I've never ordered from them before but heard good things. Their prices seem good, but they always seem to be missing pieces or have scuff marks. Plus I would prefer to use credit rather then cash.

eBay: I've never ordered anything like this from eBay so I'm a little worried. Prices seem decent and I have PayPal credit which is a plus, but I'm still not sure.

So, does anyone have any thoughts or opinions on where I should buy one from? Are there any advantages or disadvantages to any of these places?

The rep also tried to slip a fast one on me telling me if I signed up for the rewards card I would get a bonus on the trade in. When I looked at the screen as saw no bonus he assured me it was included. I stood firm and told him there was no bonus applied, and he finally back tracked and said they must have changed the program in the last few days to not allow the bonus trade in on consoles... yeah right...

Actually you'll get $60 for it ($30 and Double System Trade-in). Check the OP for details.

I'd be ok with a wii from GS as you do have a period of time to test it out and return (Much easier than mailing to the other two options).
Also I see a Bunch of barely used wiis on craigs (complete) so you might watch there ...

Wow! Wish i bought more of skyward sword at bestbuy before @ $15. That is a high base value!

Would a ylod 40gb ps3 net me $100 ($60x2-20) or $80 ($40x2)?

Has anyone had any luck returning something without a receipt ? Not looking for a refund but just an exchange,the item shows up on my Powerup rewards page.

I saw a lady a week or two ago return acreed 3 without a receipt. I didnt know they even did that but they went right ahead and gave her $65.xx on a gift card.

Traded in yesterday, all on PS3:

Heavy Rain Director's Cut- $7
Mafia 2- $2.50
Silent Hill Downpour- $5
Silent Hill HD Collection- $9

Anyone trade in 3DS lately?
Wanna trade one in for the Fire Emblem 3DS.
Wanna know what the base value is before double credit.

That's YMMV. Your best bet is to goto the original store you purchased the item from and have them look up your PUR account and see if they can find the transaction.

Was it a new or pre-owned item? And did you want to exchange it for the same item or different item?

Last I checked you get $100 after double trade-in.

Oh and incase anyone is wondering, Fire Emblem (3DS Game) pre-orders have been turned off due to allocation issues. If you had already pre-order the game, you should be fine. If you still want the game or expect your local GS to have it w/o having it pre-ordered, you might be out of luck. However, you can still pre-order the Fire Emblem System Bundle.

Portal 2 (360) - 10.00

Tekken 6 (PS3) 5.00

Skate (360) .75

Darksiders (PS3) 5.00

Sega Superstars Tennis (360) .20

Resistance: Fall Of Man (PS3) .50


Total came out to 30.03 with Bonuses

And Ya I was at my local Gamestop 1 hour after they opened to pre order the FE Bundle and game the day it was up on the website. The guy there was like I was gonna call you. Was not playing around and put $50 on it.
