what do you plan on flipping? I might just do that to get an elite console.

 

[lusal]

I'm getting rid of an Xbox One and a 250gb Slim 360 if they're still handing out the $100 value towards the purchase of the Elite...

We'll see how it goes.

 

[sp00ge]

EBay card finally activated, now to wait for the Best Buy ecard to show up.  So much waiting...

I just noticed that they have the Locke controller 50% when you buy a X1 console, I wonder how that will play out if I purchase it and decide to do a return and rebuy next week.

 

[sp00ge]

Yeah, I debated that but I'm sure they'll deny a double promo dip. They'll probably make you return the controller, or deduct the extra 35 from your "refund"

 

[aircobra]

Are the eBay gift cards found easily in stores or are they something that I might have to go searching for?

Same section as the gift card stand.

 

[dominator]

Well I was able to get a gift card, now I'm just waiting for the Best Buy gift card.

 

[sp00ge]

Just got home with mine.  This thing is pretty, but the A button on the controller doesn't feel right.  

I also asked about returning/rebuying next week and he said it should be no problem and to just bring the receipt with.  $50 GC and another free game?  Hellz yeah!

 

[Lil Frier]

Well, like I said, the newer games should be a net positive on credit with a B2G1, no problem. I'd have to go look, but Forza 6, Mario Kart 8, and Smash for the Wii U woudl be 3 you could go after. $50 for 2, third free, $43.20 each at GS.

Just got home with mine. This thing is pretty, but the A button on the controller doesn't feel right.

Damn, the return/rebuy makes it more tempting to just try to get the console now. I might pop by my store and ask someone about it, though I'll probably wait until Sunday anyway, so I AT LEAST get the gift card. I can hold out for a day and a half on the GS trade.

Man, I hope the controller ends up working well for you. I'm going to get mine tomorrow and just keep it sealed I think.

Thanks. It feels like the inside wasn't deburred properly, almost like it wants to stick if I hit it from angle. I'm going to give it a few days of use and see if it clears up or I'm going to have to send it to MS.

How long did it take for your ebay gc to activate?

 

[sovereignNX-73811]

How long did it take for your ebay gc to activate?

Laat one took 3 hours and 45 minutes.

 

[aircobra]

Lol shit. Glad I am not in a hurry.

 

[sp00ge]

Yep, that's about how long mine took. Bought it at 12:13 and was finally able to order the BBY cards at 3:59

 

[amusedtoe]

The problem with that is the Forza bundle is getting rare, Best Buy is the only store within 2 hours of me that has it in stock, and who knows if there's another run of them coming. I guess I could try to return/rebuy next week and pass on the Locke controller this week.

I really do love that blue console and controller. If they were running a promo where I could get a bump on a 360/PS3 as well to cover more of the difference I would probably do the same.

Just got home with mine. This thing is pretty, but the A button on the controller doesn't feel right.

Better play it and make sure. I haven't heard issues with the Forza controller but have heard button issues with other variants of that new model.

 

[aircobra]

Did it take long to get your BBY cards?

 

[kickrockz713]

Yea, I had gotten a covert one that had a messed up X button. It felt like the button was jammed in and lower than the other buttons. It was too much to ignore since that is a very important button. I was able to get a replaced luckily.

 

[sp00ge]

Did it take long to get your BBY cards?

I got my BBY cards in exactly 20 minutes.

Better play it and make sure. I haven't heard issues with the Forza controller but have heard button issues with other variants of that new model.

Yeah, I'm going to put a little mileage on it and see if it clears up. If not, I'll send it in to MS.

If you're just trading in comtrollers then no you won't need cables.

 

[geekstop711]

You do for the Wii pro controller

 

[Raw_Orangejuice]

Is the limit 3 or 4 of the same title? Anyone??

 

[Deliciouspinto]

....This has been answered like 4 times already today.

3 to be safe, 4-5 might get you banned.

 

[Raw_Orangejuice]

Thanks! Did my 4the trade, thumbs crossed lol

 

[Jay]

What kind?

 

[klimb22]

eBay has the $100 eBay GCs for $95 again if you  guys want to make an extra $5 per before you buy something else.

 

[Rick4Life]

Thanks. This is a great way to combine a bunch of half-used gift cards back into one as well.

Heres the link, since people tend to get confused which one to buy - http://www.ebay.com/itm/281833897420

Is there a limit or is it an infinite merry go round of $5 profit?

 

[Rick4Life]

Limit: One

They run this about once a week, so you can do it every week if you wish.

Gotcha, I see it forced me to only add one to cart, but I didn't know if I could just do another transaction when the first came in. I'm on mobile so I didn't see a limit mentioned in the description.

 

[klimb22]

Please be aware that PayPal Digital Gifts has some GC limit that they enforce whenever they feel like it. Some claim that it's $5,000.00/month, but some hit it before, some after or some not at all. This goes across all GCs they sell (BB, Staples, etc.). 

 

[ducci101]

Does the halo 5 trade in deal give you an extra 10 per game or just 10 overall?

For me it is $1,000 on a rolling 30 days. If it doesn't allow you to buy just wait a few days.

 

[Dbill309]

Overall.

 

[Miami Flash15]

Does the halo 5 trade in deal give you an extra 10 per game or just 10 overall?

I believe it's just one $10 bonus.

Not that I'd ever hit anything remotely close to that but does that limit apply to per month or per several like 6 months? $5,000 is an awful lot.

 

[Bobby's World]

It all depends on Paypal and what they consider suspicious activity. I've been hit with limits for spending for $200-300 in E-gift cards from Paypal gifts, but I was still able to checkout a transaction with Giftcardmall...so who knows

 

[mrclutch]

So with an Xbox one trading in for $250 I'm thinking of trading mine for a new Xbox One for the new warranty mainly. What's the best route that loose the least many is it straight to GS or should I buy eBay gift cards to buy Best Buy Gift cards?

This is why I'm glad I jumped on the Target deal for $340 at the beginning of the month.

It's a download. I play so much Forza though I'd rather it be a download honestly.

 

[Lil Frier]

I was considering doing the same, however I want an white XB1. Seems like only Walmart has it, and it's only 500gb. Although the Walmart bundle includes gears, extra remote and a extra game (TTK, FIFA 16, Madden 16). Does eBay has Walmart gift cards? I was thinking of just getting the $200 cash from GS and paying the $180 OOP. My system been very laggy & buggy I want to get rid of it. Idk if it's because I'm in the preview program or is XB1 dash always been ass?

I'm trading my White Sunset Overdrive console in. The irony

 

[mrclutch]

I assume you can only get the $10 extra trade credit when you trade toward Halo 5 on1 game. Can anyone confirm?

I think the interface has always been ass. Every Xbone I've owned has had lag. It's tolerable though.
