I was trading in controllers and thr guy hit me with a refurb fee. I said whats that for. He said "because we have to send them to the warehouse". I said "why would i have to pay for that?". To which he said "policy". It was the first time i experienced that. But i immediately took them back and traded them at another store with no fee

I've traded in multiple controllers before and never had this random refurb fee BS for no reason.

National Law Enforcement Task Force Sweeps U.S. In Search Of Child Predators (link to some random news site I never heard of) is making the headlines today. So if some forum users disappear, we know why.

Uncharted NDC dropped a few $$ today as well. Good thing I only have 1 left from Redbox.

Poooooop. I've got three chapters left on Uncharted 3. Oh well, it was definitely worth it and I'll still some out ahead. The remastering job they did on all three games is incredible.

 

[Nick51705]

I got an email saying they take in beats headphones. I have an old studio headphone but I can't find the TIV.

 

[ZenithRequiem]

seems like only certain stores in the hudson area in NJ are asking for ID for trade credit. Called ahead.

 

[neoz]

So whatever the Gamestop site is showing me, I add + 50% on top of that?

Just take the base price and multiply it by 1.6.

 

[fluffynumkins]

Got the typical stealth bump email, you have x games worth $x

 

[Darkstar00]

Everything that anchored me dropped substantially and I lost about an extra $50. Should've went with my gut feeling and traded in earlier in the week when the ad started on Wednesday. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. I guess what I could do is trade the stuff that didn't drop, do the Uncharted promo, take it back, keep NDC for $9.99, and barring any more drops, Mirror's Edge will be going to BB(It's still worth $27.00+10% GCU there for those who suffered the same hit) since I have a few things worth value there, and the rest will be spent on eBay/PSN/Steam cards(jk the Steam Summer Sale is eww).

 

[blackbeard4886]

Nathan Drake Collection is $9.99 new when you buy Uncharted 4 new (return). It trades right now for $20.80 after the bonus.

That's life, sometimes you lose other times you win

I had a nice lucky streak going, I guess I'm thankful things like Stranger of Sword City going on Steam and other Vita titles that didn't drop and are on Steam, cause they're putting the team on their back now, and still allows me to save face.

A reliable GS store manager told me that the surveys are linked to your IP. He said the DM sees the Ip attached to the survey. If the DM sees too many reviews under one IP the DM doesn't take the surveys seriously. He said if you want to say something negative or positive you should do it about 1 per month per IP for the DM to take it legitimately. This might be YMMV though, but figure the info was useful for all.

 

[Brenex]

Just use your home IP, cell IP, significant other's cell IP, etc and space them out and use different wording.

 

[Brenex]

Use CSUMMERFUN2016 to get $15 off a $75 purchase on eBay. I just got a $75 Best Buy gift card with it to keep the cycle going.

 

[ZenithRequiem]

S model adapter is still $24 base

 

[xGwiZ96x]

Now the question is, can you buy eBay gift cards at Best Buy with gift cards? This cycle has to keep going somehow

 

[kickrockz713]

Yasssss

Yes.

You can because I just did it 15 minutes ago.

That's where VPN's come in handy, proxies, etc.

GS thread today = riverboat casino

 

[Brenex]

Of course, but the way he posted about IP's made it seem like he may not even know what those are. my mistake if that wasn't the case

 

[Mr. Tadakichi]

Can I still use trade in credit to grab a eShop card (or can you just not get Amazon gift cards with them anymore)?

 

[YawnAmuroYawn]

Well thanks for the vote of confidence lol.

 

[Bizarrosfne]

I think it has been 90 days since I last used my main account which was banned, I wonder if I should go try it. I do have another slim brick to unload..

Just got $75 Best Buy for $60 from the eBay card I got yesterday.

Now can anyone confirm if the eBay coupon can be used more than once?

 

[BlackRockWaifu]

Damn, a game dropped like $2 for me, good thing I don't bet high stakes. Any chance of a weekend boost?

 

[ZenithRequiem]

Can you pay with an eBay gift card if you buy another gift card on eBay?

 

[Darkstar00]

The $75 Best Buy Credit for $60 really just breathed new life into what i can do, and finding out that the Shadow of Mordor GOTY I found for $11.99 used at Hastings last weekend, boosted up $5-close to $6. Now, I don't have to do the Uncharted promo(still gonna do it anyway probably), I can take Mirror's Edge and company to BB and i have the potential to get more BB credit, looks like I'll be checking my 3 GS stores for eBay GCs!

 

[Nick51705]

In the other thread they said only one per account.

 

[willozsy]

i just got the usual GS stealth bump email, and it tells me the MSGVPP is 19.5 while on GS website it's 13. but maybe it just included the 50% bonus. I'm sure hoping the base value comes to that in the near future...

The email shows the value with the 50% bump

Is this applicable to no-receipt surveys only or the same applies to receipt-based surveys?

 

[willozsy]

yep, like Nick said, I can confirm it's only one use per paypal account.

Can you pay with an eBay gift card if you buy another gift card on eBay?

Yes, only other GCs like BB, GS, etc. but not ebay GCs.

 

[Nick51705]

$15 off $75 BB, $1.5 in eBay bucks, and $0.75 in ebates. Not bad.

 

[willozsy]

ebates? damn missed that sweet $0.75. how does that work?

 

[srehmat02]

ebates? damn missed that sweet $0.75. how does that work?

Just create an account on ebates and use their cashback link when placing your order on ebay, they always give at least 1% back on gift card purchases, a few weeks back it was 3%.

They pay you out via Paypal quarterly so you get your money right away but it should post in your cashback history within a day or 2.

 

[asspickle]

Does anybody know when the 50% bonus ends? I checked gs.com but dont see it posted anywhere.

[alucardus]

Just ordered $75 BB gc. Anyone know how soon the code will arrive to your email?

 

[willozsy]

i saw the optional space for referral email on ebates, is there any bonus for that? if so, anybody wants a little bonus?

EDIT: actually saw the $50 referral bonus, damn it's a lot. Shanti/Nick, what's your email?

Man, that's a bummer they're counting their end of month stealth bump through their promotion. Someone tell them that is not okay.

 

[mchittumjr]

Im sure everybody knows this by now but PS4 controllers are ringing up $27.50->$44 in store trade in.

Did the eBay $15 off Gamestop GC then bought 3 ps4 controllers with a b2g1 coupon. Basically $86 for $132 flip. Not bad. Although my Gamestop would only take 2 ps4 controllers at a time.

Also traded in an old Xbox One controller and the Chat Adapter(didnt require the 2.5 to 3.5 wire) and picked up a new 3.5 X1 Controller while making 40 cents.
