Update 3: The new website is http://www.tivs.ca thanks to neksus!

Update 2:
Lone Prodigy is awesome and made a new one: http://ebtradeinvalues.scribblewiki.com/Main_Page

Update:
Please update the wiki yourself. The new wiki is http://www.citgocapital.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

RFDers use/edit it as well.



Alright, the Americans have a wiki page with all the EB Games trade-in values and I figured we might as well start one for the Canadian EB. It's good reference for if we ever want to sell our soul or maybe take advantage of loopholes in their promos! I'll try and keep the list updated as much as possible.

If you have info to add, please do so in the following format:
*Game Name - $# - Month Day, Year
For example:
*Sonic Mega Collection - $8 - September 29th, 2006.

Group them by system please!

If I were to trade in, say, 3 $4 at EB Games and received the extra $5 trade credit for each, would that make those games qualify for deals that usually require $8+ TIV? Or can you not combine trade-in deals?

Also the minimum TIV is $5 to qualify for the $5 bonus.

[quote name='cashinstinct']Lucky you to get bonus for 2 systems, I think the promo is supposed to be limit 1... especially considering you bought a not-that-pricey system.[/QUOTE]

I called one EB, guy wasn't sure, emailed the mothership, called back, he said no problem. I ended up going to an EB closer to my place and no issues there knowing that I could have gone to the other one.

Was happy though...good dump of stuff i think
 
Anyone know what MGS Portable Ops and Portable Ops Plus are going for new or used at EB/Gamestop? Can't find them practically anywhere online and Game Centre just quoted me $40 for a used copy. Might have to buy them digitally but I'd rather have the UMDs.

Released!

Although a new update will be submitted shortly...there currently isn't a way to delete games (which means there are currently a few duplicates). The ads also aren't correctly displaying yet...so don't go wasting your time clicking them (yet!)
 
Thanks a lot neksus,

Sent you a message to tivs.ca regarding the fact it seems to be on the US iTunes Store (instead of Canada).
 
I replied with some confusion, but it seems to be fine now. Must have had something to do with the time delay - I posted the release on RFD like literally 5 minutes after I got the email, even though the email said it could take up to 24 hours to appear.
 
Blockbuster is offering 75% of NEW RETAIL PRICING as trade in credit if you trade in a new release within 14 days. That explains the Lego Harry Potter and Singularity. $59.99 = $45 TIV. $64.99 = $48.75 (which doesn't add up to 48.50 but close enough?)

Really nice stuff.

Singularity and Lego aren't bad games, but trading those for more than $90 bucks... considering games are $2.50 + tax at BBV, it's like getting 30 games instead of 2!!!

I really want to verify this but already updated my database...anybody verify?
If that's the case I have no idea why it would be doing that seeing as the app is directly populated from the site.
 
Turn off 3G and wifi before going to tivs app in order to avoid automatic update, if Any coule Check the tiv in bold.

I unfortunately did not take a screenshot.

Shopping was so great with the app today, felt like heaven !!!

They should give you a "Turd Burglar" t-shirt when you hit $1000. Gratz! :applause:

Saving up enough credits to take over ownership of the store? ;)

I assume you mean July 5.

Heavy Rain is on their most wanted this month, $35 sounds about right.

And man, I always try to keep my edge cards under $100.. I start getting funny looks when they're over $100.. I can't imagine what clerks think of your edge card.
 
Crazy, I've probably only ever gotten ~$700 or so total through all my trades (in return value, counting T3s). I can't even imagine how much money has been made with tivs.ca :razz:
 
I started getting weird looks around 300$, and then phase 2 around 700$ but now with that second clean card Im good for awhile :)

Heavy Rain may be right but I dont think the value is written on the MW list so kinda crazy it gets 35$ again. It was MW front cover at 35$ a month after its release.
 
Man ichit do you work or anything?? I don't know if I could handle a job and all the running around required to collect over $1000 in EB credit lol
 
100+ is not usual for clerks, you try to test them hard at 999!

Neksus, here is another info for faq: Max 999.99!!! ( and idea to carry multiple cards!!!! )
 
I have $120 on mine right now and the clerks always mention how much credit I have. I just tell them that I trade in for multiple people and we pool the credit of our games together. Little do they know that I have about 7 other cards from past Gaming Guarantees waiting to be spent.
 
I was always told that HO monitors any Edge card that maintains a balance over $100 to determine if you are a dealer ripe for banning, $1000 is asking to be investigated
 
I amassed nearly $250 on my main "Edge" card. I'm starting to whittle it down a little and working on a new card to avoid any odd reactions. I'd preorder some stuff, but there's really nothing I'm super sold on committing to ... I know I could change my orders, but that's a pain in the butt I'd rather avoid.

If they had 3DS preorders, I might consider that, but I suspect they'll have a nice trade-in deal on DSes before that's released.
 
I always use multiple cards. I try to keep it one game per card. But I usually don't keep more than 120-130 per card. 3 cards at a time. One Edge, and dump the other two when empty. I use them on things pretty quick anyways. Gotta keep it sneaky.

It's nice to have cards with huge amounts of Cred but with the banhammer being waved around these days. I'd be a little more skeptical.
 
I dunno really, between powertrade & gaming guarantee, its really not that hard to get.
So how does multiple cards work? Is it free to get new ones?
 
It is free, don't have to get Edge $5 discount sticker on each card.

Afrodiziak strategy to get an Edge card for each GG makes sense, it makes that each card has about the same amount (59,99 to 69,99), makes it easier to track and low balance is the way to go.
 
I usually dont carry a card with more than 300$ in fear of

a) losing it
b) weird looks
c) all the info from credit is sent to HO and if they saw like 700$ on a card, it might raise some awareness.
