Ok, so not every Walmart within a 10 mile area has the same trade in system. I encountered all of them and finally found the holy grail. Not only was the employee competent, he was a godsend after all the shit I had to deal with.
The original Walmart that I tried to use was cool but there system kept jamming up and they had to start all over again and again and again and again. I finally called game over on them and thanked them for all their efforts but insisted that they push for an upgrade to their trade in hardware.
The next Walmart I went to was on my way home and they had no problem but their system will not allow me to redeem trades past the Madden price. So as soon as they input my 2nd game, I was already throwing up an error for them to retreat. I asked them to charge me for multiple games to balance out the trades to buys and I told them I have every intention of returning all of these "bought" games as soon as we were through. Walmart rep then proceeded to explain that their store only allows game exchanges and not returns even on sealed games. I told her thank you but you can go
a goat.
The next Walmart was closer to home but not my Home walmart. I didn't want to go to my Home walmart because their trade in system was very similar to the original Walmart I dealt with today. So, anyway, I went into this walmart, met the rep and explained what I wanted to do. He said that it is not a problem but I can only buy games with the credit and I have to spend it immediately. I told him that I intended to return all the games right afterwards and he said, "its your games, you have your receipt and can do anything you want with it." He did 2 transactions for me and even got the games to closely match each transaction. I paid the small differences with my credit card and after he manually typed out each gift card number, because I also didn't get the bar code printed out, I thanked him, got his name and will be positively reviewing him soon. I went up to the customer service desk and got my first $250ish games refunded with about $20 back on my visa. The next $150 was also refunded but the girl that did it mistakenly had me swipe my visa first and I got all the credit put back onto my visa card. She essentially paid a portion of my visa card with about $150 of Walmart credit. I looked at her and she said, have a nice day.
So all in all, I hate trading in to Walmart, but now I have grocery money for the month and a portion of my visa credit card paid off...cost was about $115 and too much of my time...
