My prayer has been answered! Can't believe they're doing a round 2 even tho kinda weak

 

[YawnAmuroYawn]

Thanks for the heads up cag. Found a few extra titles to trade in.

 

[Nick51705]

They removed golf club from the 4 for $20, right?

Yes

 

[Lil Frier]

There will also be a new promo starting that gives you $100 for ANY slim PS3/Xbox 360 when you buy an Xbox One.

Amy chance this starts Sunday, and that GS will also participate in Microsoft's $50 XB1 deals? $200-250 for a Bone would be nice.

Anything over 70% moved up, I'll try to do a comparison from yesterday too.

 

[willozsy]

seems im the only one whose games are devaluating... Arslan just went down from 27.5 to 24.2 and Transformers Devastation 18.7 to 14.3...

 

[Jeff Jr.]

Weekend Bumps! 

Dying Light PS4/Xbone $22

 

[no658ea3]

"You have 108 games worth $1752.50"

Thanks Gamestop.

One "behalf" of Gamestop, you're welcome.

There are some easy boomerangs with the current b2g1 on DS games.  Not a lot of profit, but if you're out of the house already, might as well.

How about naming them?

Added a Tab called "Weekend Trade Bumps" anything with a positive value in the "Trade Bump Change" column is the trade bump. Your Welcome.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QHes9WjTbQvu-uB5Bkp_cwrKtJtZiqANFr_RfwvzkYs/edit?usp=sharing

EDIT - It's 467 games total that got a bump.

We are not worthy!

I noticed offhand that Skate 2 got bumped back up. I'll have to look harder later but I wonder what other 4 for $20 games got bumped.

 

[ThatCaveman]

How many games of the same title/console can you trade before you get banned? I want to trade in 3 more COD: Black Ops but I already traded in 3 a month or two ago.

So far Skate2 and COD BLOPS. It's the golf game scenario again!

I believe the safe limit is 3 per platform but idk if there's a time period that they stop tracking.

That's a nice chunk of change since I'm already visiting GameStop today. Ill try combining it with the B2G1 DS too.

Thanks for your work!

 

[Olengie]

Time to trade in my copies of Wii Sports.

 

[Raw_Orangejuice]

The 4 for 20 is still going?

 

[Nick51705]

The 4 for 20 is still going?

Until the 20th, same day the B2G1 Wii/DS and same cash for credit ends.

 

[Raw_Orangejuice]

Wow, found four cods and four skate 2s in my area. Today is going to be a good day

 

[Flandy]

Where do you see the DS promo? I can't find it on the site or the weekly ad

 

[ThatCaveman]

Where do you see the DS promo? I can't find it on the site or the weekly ad

I haven't seen it advertised on the site, but it's posted in store. Similar to how they never really advertised the B2G3 toys to life.

 

[JUSTSULTAN]

Ok I'm missing something.where does the value in skate 2 and blops come in?

 

[Ooodavie]

They're on the 4 for $20 list and they each trade in for 13.75 for Xbox 360.

 

[Olengie]

My gamestop had 4 copies of BlOps and they could only find 1. Lol.

 

[JUSTSULTAN]

Thanks! Still a little confused...app says tiv is 3.xx?

 

[lastreward24]

Xbox 360

 

[willozsy]

omg seems like i committed murder

 

[chnandler_bong]

thx brada (again)! just bought 3 copies of BLOPS and 1 Bioshock 2 on ps3 for $18 with store credit, trade the 3 copies of BLOPS right back in. walked away with $41.25 cash and a copy of Bioshock 2 which completes my Bioshock series collection! cant be happier right now!

That's not a smart thing to do..........

 

[willozsy]

omg seems like i committed murder 

 

[AndyD33]

Still not smart.

 

[chnandler_bong]

thx for the reminder. but its the only way to get something out of it in my store... I mean technically I only traded those 3 copies on 1 platform hitting the limit. I'm just never gonna trade another X360 BLOPS in again, which is easy since i dont own a 360. I don't know if this is bannable or not, I mean I didnt really break any rule

You're probably right that you are within all the legal parameters, but there seems to be an unspoken etiquette involved in trading games in at GameStop. Breaking that etiquette (trading in three of one game all at once, at the store where you just bought them especially) might get you branded in a way that may end up in a trade-in time-out.

 

[godofwar7]

dang same store flippers gonna ruin it for the rest of us.

.

He's talking about trading them all in at the same store you bought them at, most people go to another store so as to not alert anybody or draw attention to things. Also because they're not supposed to take more than 1 copy of a game per platform in a transaction. So if you traded all 3 in one transaction you actually did set off a flag as a DM gets an alert about that.

You need to practice a lot more discretion. Think long term.

 

[Bobby's World]

What do you expect...baboons cannot delay gratification lol

 

[AndyD33]

You need to practice a lot more discretion. Think long term.

It's actually a good thing. Thins out the pool of people that would get the values killed.

 

[Hernaju]

I thought you couldn't trade more than two copies of the same game

 

[Nick51705]

I know I should be encouraging everyone to check the lists and stuff but I'll summarize what I found to be flips.

With the 4 for $20, you want Skate 2 and Black Ops for . If you can only find 3 and need a filler, these keep most of their value: 

Skate 2

Need for Speed: The Run

Thief

Need for Speed: Shift

Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations

For the DS/Wii deal, it's not as lucrative but you are already in the store. Get any 3 of these:

Advance Wars: Dual Strike

Disgaea DS

Disney 2 Pack: Frozen and Big Hero 6

Dokapon Journey

Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem

 Namco Museum/ Pacman World 3 Bundle

Nickelodeon Bubble Guppies

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness

Pokemon Myster Dungeon: Explorers of Time

Sonic Classic Collection
Suikoden Tierkreis
Data East Arcade Classics
Disney Princess: My Fairytale Adventure
Family Feud 2011
Need for Speed: The Run
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Spongebob Plankton's Robotic Revenge
 
Also Target has a B2G1 free on Pokemon games. Pokemon Y is flippable since it's on sale. Best Buy is also selling X/Y used for $20 but finding them in stores is difficult (If you find 3 copies, they are having B2G1 free on used as well).
 
Whether any of these are worth the effort is up to you.

 

[Olengie]

at least trade it in at another store. lol

 

[Wii Got U]

Thanks blackbeard4886

I was lucky enough to find 2 BLOPS and 2 Skate 2s at one store (all for 360). I started at one store in the mall where I bought my games. Then I traded in one set (1 BLOPS & 1 Skate 2) at one store, then did the same at another store (3 stores total in a 5 mile radius). This was the first time I got IDed for doing a cash trade in at both stores. When I traded in my PS4 for cash, they did not ID me.

Lets do the math - Payed $19.48 and made $55, so a profit of $35.52
