Why not share it? I don't get your point

Loose lips sink flips.

 

[fredyyy]

I was saying to share it. Yeah bb always nukes the values like twice during the week so i didnt wait around this time. I did one before Wednesday and another yesterday.

Haha ok good, I thought the other way, english is not my 1st language

[2014CAGnewbie]

I have noticed anymore if you dont just on this stuff as soon as its posted you lose out. Lurkers destorying our dreams!

Yeah, I already had my trades in before I posted it as half of it was posted in Blackbeard's spreadsheet, but under a different name.

 

[whswhsjohn]

So... I was gonna trade today. And there might be bumps according to those emails??
 

Should I wait or no.. so hard to decide

Is it safe to assume that this weekend it won't get bumped since the value stayed the same today? or could it happen tomorrow?

 

[YawnAmuroYawn]

I went in store and did a trade just now and outside of the 20℅ there were no other bonus bumps.

 

[YellowGameboyColor]

I'm gonna do one round this weekend, buy more games from BBY then save em for next weekend. The 20% bumps ends on Wednesday next week so by the time the weekend comes we won't have any bonuses except for the HTC Vive one or if they add another one of course so trade now for 20% trade next week for stealth bump

NOOOO

 

[blackbeard4886]

I thought it was strange a stealth bump on the second to last friday of the month when historically it is always on the last friday of the month. I looked it up and even last July the stealth bump happened July 31, 2015. So if someone at GS just goofed and sent the email early we may see a stealth bump 7/29 as well as the extra 10% PUR on 7/30.

 

[AvatarGoku]

Anyone that work at GS hear of any trade in promos for the Xbox one S?

Nothing. Not in our marketing kit so looking unlikely but they could always change their mind

I think this makes sense and the notification was just sent early. I wouldn't get my hope up until next Friday.

I'll bet they did that so people would look silly trying to get those values in today and over the weekend. I'm sure a few would just take the lower values. SMH. GG Gamestop.

 

[RavenHawk]

Nothing noteworthy in my email:

Battleborn (XBO)- $17.50

Fallout 4 (PS4) - $15

F1 2015 (PS4) - $13

So should I trade in my games today or wait? I think some values will drop like Pokemon Omega Ruby.

That's sad news, but thank you for reporting it. It would be nice if maybe the POS just wasn't updated. I will still give it a shot late tonight after work or tomorrow, but hopefully we hear some more reports before that.

 

[AndyD33]

Did you trade some of the games that have been mentioned?

Just sit tight for awhile. And Pokemon? I doubt that TiV will drop.

 

[Kotor15]

GameStop proves their incompetence yet again.

 

[YawnAmuroYawn]

Yeah 1 of them red dead goty 360.

 

[fredyyy]

Is it weird if I trade it 2 copies of star fox at the same store at once? Lol

No not at all.

 

[SonictheHedgehog1337]

I was assuming so because he was smart enough to go early and test the waters. It would really suck if he just traded in some regular games that don't have a bump.

I remember the August Extravaganza last year when values were ridiculously high.

How much % is the stealth bump? Does anyone recall?

And to be frank, you'll never see values that high again; that Flip-ocalypse was a one-shot deal. It was fun. A LOT of fun.

I wouldn't expect a whole lot of percentage increase...about 20% at max? If you feel compelled to trade stuff, there's always the 20% collectible bump.

Good times. Good times... I furnished my entire room because of last summer's flip-mania. Also bought one of those expensive 10.1" galaxy pro tablets, and an arcade machine from amazon.

 

[YawnAmuroYawn]

I would disagree with this. The holiday season is coming up and multiple managers have told me that summer is when they usually offer the most gs trade in bonuses so that the stores try to bulk up on used inventory for the fall. One way thia is done is with these trade in promos.

 

[YellowGameboyColor]

Still sad I missed all the fliparoonis last year. But I was in Europe instead so it was definitely worth

 

[ajh2298]

What's the cheapest most common to find item to get the 20% bump for collectibles?

 

[SamusGuns]

I'm praying for a sequel to last summer's The Lord of the Flips: Fellowship of the CAGs.

 

[krishna_malladi]

UC4 button is .27; so is the UC4 magnet or sticker. As long as you can find it, that is.

Wow! Well done!

 

[amusedtoe]

So games will be getting bumped at some point but I can't remember if accessories do as well. A lot of the DI figures got bumped to $3.50 base though and if they're not going to go up any further than I would rather not wait another week for them to go back down or something.

 

[ChronoSlayer]

Loose lips sink flips.

Grateful much? Try telling Blackbeard that...

Lets be honest though, if it weren't for him and others, none would be able to get in on this. Sure its a race against time but usually TIV values hold all day long so it can't be too bad, it would totally suck if the values changed randomly throughout the day on the other hand.

I do not remember accessories getting stealth bumps. I am personally dumping DI figures ASAP because no one knows when GS is going to stop taking them as trade ins.

That and most of the $3.50 base ones were $1.50-2.50 base a couple days ago so I would rather not wait and have them go back down.

Best buy has some infinity figures on sale for $2 and $3 that trade in for $3.8 with PUR

 

[bostonfrontier]

So is it confirmed that the email sent out yesterday was suppose to be for next weekend, not this weekend?

Probably as confirmed as anything can be with the label "stealth" attached to it.

Not sure why people keep asking about getting extra trade in dollars for something that will get a price drop. GameStop isn't trying to give away the S model either just to get stuck with older Xbox ones.

because they do trade up offers all the time?

 

[HyperG]

Sure. As I said, it would not make sense this time around to be overstocked with older models just to give away the newer model.

 

[walletandgromice]

It would not make sense, and yet it has happened so many times in the past that it's hard to believe they are finally doing one right (for themselves, not us)

 

[Nick51705]

I bet the older models sell pretty well compared to the new models. The new model is nice and pretty but there are so many people who are in the "I just want to play Xbox one games for the cheapest price." camp.

No one is understanding what I am saying as usual.
