There have been games to be flipped at gamestop? All week I didn't care about the 50% until I saw I could get 32 for until dawn and some other good values. Gotta get a gift receipt so I can return uncharted or doom though

Why a Gift Receipt?

 

[ZeroGame]

The second GameStop I went to said they couldn't print a gift receipt since it wasn't the holidays... :/

 

[Nick51705]

A couple people have confirmed ROTR rings up $25/20 GCU in-store only.

L4D2 isn't bad ($20/16 > $28)

That's just as good as the Fry's PM for NBA live 16. Thanks

Lol that is a pretty bad excuse. You should have called them out.

should've told them birthdays are year round.

what.. they print mine after they print my long receipt.

 

[fredyyy]

so did you guys return uncharted 4/Doom immediately or did you wait couple days to avoid suspicions?

Anyone please?

 

[Biggquis]

Did you tell them you wanted it while you were doing the trades, or after everything was already done as a separate transaction?

 

[Konfusion]

Anyone please?

Really? You have 30 days to return it. Just wait.

 

[jacknicklson]

Anyone please?

Use common sense

 

[ariel.rosales3]

Most people wait a few days to avoid suspicion.

 

[ritchardf]

Use common sense

aint nobody got time to wait, bring a big pair of sunglasses and a fake moustache. wear a jacket, do the trades, go outside, put on the sunglasses and moustache and take off your jacket, go inside and return. speak in a french accent. works every time.

before the trade in

 

[YawnAmuroYawn]

Yeah I just bought Tomb raider 360 in store at bb. So also confirming. Thanks for the tip flash

 

[Dashey10]

Smash Bros. Brawl trades in for $28 which is decent

 

[BrianJason]

That's what I keep telling my wife

 

[AAK_SO_COLD]

Guy at my store just said gift cards cut off? Anyone confirm?

Can I confirm that the employee at that store is a lying cocksucker that doesn't want to sell you a gift card?

100% yes.

 

[cancerman1120]

Arkham Knight jumped from $4 to $8. I may trade this now since I have done everything including the DLC. Only had New Game + left but I am sick of it now.

State of Decay jumped way up to $17.50.  Guess holding onto that last Redbox copy is going to payoff.

 

[Nick51705]

I bought a eBay GC yesterday.

 

[chnandler_bong]

Never let your gf return stuff for you. Didn't look at receipt and they didn't give me tax back for two games -.-

You think your GS scammed you out of the tax on your games???

 

[Kotor15]

Just bought Visas at my store. The gift card cut off is bullshit.

I had a state of decay left from the 1st of the month and was able to find another one for 9$ at redbox yesterday. Fun times

 

[Gedemer]

SHE POCKETED MY $2.60 I KNOW IT!

It's all good though. I pushed her out of the car on the way home.

 

[SonictheHedgehog1337]

Does the ibotta promo work even if you paid with gift cards?

 

[AAK_SO_COLD]

100% yes.

Smh, thanks. Guess he wants me to start buying things. He used to be cool.

Are gas gift cards restricted from trade credit? Trip to flip a few mine craft story modes for gas and they said no.

They also said the limit was one game per system per title which isn't true either. My wife was with me so it worked.

It's YMMV, but as far as I know just get the trade credit on a GS GC and buy the Gas cards with that gift card. If they say NO again, go to another GS.

Yep I did it yesterday.

That limit is real per their policy. One title per platform in a single trade in. The system won't block it but the associate is supposed to.

 

[Nick51705]

I tried the AC target PM again. I think it has a limit on how much loss it will take. When they tried to PM the Xbox One version with Amazon for $24.50, the screen said it couldn't lower the price below like $29.10

 

[Virtua]

Weird I always thought it was two.

 

[HyperG]

Real but not always followed.

Something I mention every so often, always make sure employees aren't pulling a fast one during a trade in. Using the same game twice if the value of another is the same.

 

[exileinoblivion]

The 50% will still be live tomorrow right? Or is today the last day?

Seems like they're starting to act salty. :/

 

[YawnAmuroYawn]

I've noticed that some stores the managers are douchey unhappy pricks. Those are the stores where everything is a headache. Then there are stores where they understand how gs works and don't give a damn as long as you act cool with them. I tend to frequent the aforementioned stores and avoid the latter.

Has anyone tried using the ebay gift cards today to purchase Best Buy cards? I had a never ending loop of my account locking. When I called the first time, the guy pretty much just reset my account. The second lady said my account was locking because I was buying gift cards with gift cards.

 

[AndyD33]

As far as slim power bricks, would anyone recommend using an aftermarket on your own system? Was thinking about trading mine in today and just ordering a new one off of Amazon, but they go for almost $30 new

Do you like watching your house burn down?

I can't seem to find the Ibotta Best Buy rebate, I only see 4 for specific products. Was an email or something?

Unfortunately the offered ended yesterday. They seem to always be running though so keep it in mind with future BB purchases.

I'm officially out of the flip game this weekend. During my final trade the guy looked into my purchase history and made a snide comment. That's enough for me to call it quits on the fun.

Godspeed fellow flippers.

 

[fredyyy]

I would definitely hit up Target for ACS, get the $50 GC and trade the games in towards Doom to get the extra 50% credit

thank you very much for posting this. This picture forced the stupid customer service I have at my local target to accept to price match. Initially they refused to PM since I'm receiving a gift card lol

I believe you have to link a bank account to your PayPal account or else it does not let you purchase gift cards.

That's been done for a while, but I did think of checking my ebay account since it never seems to link to my paypal account by default. After looked at that and then added it there. Everything went through smoothly now.

I could have sworn it said expires 5/28 so I didn't redeem it yesterday

You know, id burn the guy on that survey. They should not have the liberty to look into your history just because. Thats an invasion of privacy and they need to ask the customer for permission to look into your history.

Also, the ibotta thing is done?

 

[likeme]

Returned one today and the cashier gave me cash for my return. Ha

It was a PITA and made me verify my account 3 times with a code to my cell phone, then reply with a "1" to confirm I'm trying to place an order.

I as well was buying Best Buy gift cards with an eBay gift card that was purchased today from trade credit.

The Paypal CS employees are clueless. I had my account locked during checkout and after looking up the link from blackbeard, it's true you can't buy more than $1,000 of gift cards from Paypal digital gifts within more than a rolling month. I had been locked out at $800 of purchases when trying to buy more that would have brought me over $1K. Once my next purchase rolled off (made it around $600 within 30 days), I was able to buy $300 more without issue. It's just an automatic limit Paypal digital gift cards puts on eBay transactions. CS has no clue about this.
