Im curious are the people getting banned at the $500-$600 cash level making any purchases at GS at all or are you just buying stuff from BB, Walmart, Target, etc... and trading just for cash at GS.

I haven't bought anything from GS since Song of the Deep and hit around $580 and still not banned.

 

[Helldweller87]

Was it from the 2 hour Prime Now service? I noticed that those guys are random drivers that use their own cars for the deliveries. I doubt that they would be stupid enough to do that though.

No it wasn't the 2 hour prime service. Actually it wasn't even the delivery person's who stole it. The packaged was not tampered with when i got it. It had to have been stolen right before who ever packaged it as the firm was sliced open and only the game CD was missing. They are already shipping me a replacement copy for next day.

In other news, i was able to do another cash trade today with no issues. I have done well over $600, but i am wondering with it being August some of my july trades already reset. I also have been limiting to doing only a one trade in a day and most of my cash trades have been under $100.

 

[jeztur2003]

Anyone trade in a Wii U lately? I just picked up a brand new Wii U 32gb from someone on Facebook for $125, so I'm planning on trading in my launch day console to offset the cost. What all is required? Console, gamepad, sensor bar, both power cables and HDMI?

Yes that's all. Wish I could sell my 32gb with 6 Games for $200. Gamestop only giving $90 is ridiculous.

 

[sp00ge]

Thanks!

And yeah, it's a painfully low TIV, but after trading in my old Wii U, plus Nintendoland and Super Mario 3D World (have physical copies, games came preinstalled on the new one), I'm looking at less than $20 to upgrade to a zero-mileage system.

 

[Nightcrawler13]

I've received a little over $400 on one GS account and $300 on the second one. Looks like in almost done with this event. I'm not going anywhere near $500 on either in fear of the ban lol

 

[shrike4242]

GameStop is so gay with their bans. You have a promo for trade ins and then limit it. Wtf. What's the difference if one person trades in the same game 20 times versus 20 people trading in the same game.

Look, a homophobic asshole appears!

Seriously, try using some other less-tired and hateful expression for your "... is so ....." statements.

Probably some ignorant young kid who doesn't know what he's saying. At least, I hope that's the case....

 

[Nightman04]

The year doesn't preclude discrimination bro. I still say shit like that sometimes but try to watch myself as best I can but sometimes I slip up.

I get that. Easier to slip up while in a conversation if it's a habit you're trying to break (Like some else said though, I let that habit go a looooooong time ago). Typing it is a different story. Not sure how one can "slip up" when what you write is staring you right in the face.

i bought multiple things to flip to amazon, at least 2 separate purchase transactions, i also at some point bought a preowned copy of overwatch. And a ton of rainbow six siege xb1 copies to flip at best buy. plus some samurai warriors and rainbow six ps4 copies in gamestop.com orders

@Everyone Omg relax. He shouldn't have and (most likely) didn't mean to be offensive. Lay off and just get to trade in deals again please.

@Poster Next time, please do not use offensive language.

Doesn't matter if he wasn't trying to be offensive. All the more reason to bring it to his attention

It does matter. If he did mean to be offensive, it should have been worse.
He didn't, we brought attention to it for almost 10 posts, now let's move on to trades again.

Yeah its easy to ignore him but that sounded so underage to describe a companies policy so I assumed everyone picked on him

These. Totally cool to pick on him a bit for his subpar word choice, but all the "outrage" replies have gotten excessive. Dude's been rightfully embarrassed and will hopefully learn his lesson, let's just drop it.

In flipping news, GS trade-in values for current-gen Rise of Tomb Raider, TMNT and Deadpool are all still holding. TMNT Amazon price is slowly climbing though.

Surprised to see the trade-in value for Deadpool 360. $19.25 after PUR, only $2.75 less than the Xbone version. Really wish I had a definitive answer on the Xbone port performance.

 

[AndyD33]

How is Gamestop homosexual with their bans?

entice new customers that they can profit from > dealers

Clueless customers think that they are getting a great deal by only paying $20 for a new game after they just traded $40 worth of games towards that purchase.

Clearly youve never received a wink and a shush!

 

[Bombarded]

Not gonna lie, that's pretty gay

You're right. We brought attention to it. That was point. If he didn't mean to be offensive, that's better. But he still needed to know it was offensive. If we "layed off" as you sad, and only one or two people mentioned it, it probably wouldn't do much. 10 or more posts really lets him know it's not ok. Plus, how do you know he wasn't trying to be offensive? He hasn't responded back to all these posts yet. So now, hoping that it has been brought to his attention, you're right, let's move on. Just don't act like this is something we should all just brush off, because in that, lies the problem.

 

[Nightman04]

Clever man. Real clever. You should be proud of yourself.

 

[AndyD33]

So, in summary, nightman was triggered. Got it.

So how about those trade promos that Gamestop said were never coming back?

 

[YawnAmuroYawn]

Lets move on.

 

[Mafiacrooks]

Welcome to 2016, where everyone gets offended for everything!

Probably just a troll, get over it and continue the flips.

They always lie about that. This seems to happen a lot. I just hope I don't get banned so I can take advantage of some of them down the road

 

[abbabaab]

Forgot to ask before, but do the 20% off preowned coupons discount based on the used price before or after PUR?

I can't comment on the 360 vs One performance, but I played the One version earlier today and it ran smooth as butter. I'm almost sad to see it go, but I will buy it again at some point! Best part was that it only took 6 gb to install!

 

[RoxyWahine03]

I think it was Liquid Metal on here that got hit with a credit ban from last year's summer flips and he did not exceed $2K. He actually traded over $1K within a week so we posit that there are other triggering events such as high volume within a short amount of time. I don't remember the exact amount/cag but the point is you might be right about other thresholds catching up with you.

Thanks to Phrozen I was able to recreate my receipts between cash/credit by strictly using the mobile site and if I'm doing it right I'm under $400 cash within 30 days. I didn't bother adding up the credit trades such I'm closer to the cash limit than the credit one. I'm a little more conservative than general so I'm going to let my rolling month clear up my current total a bit before I trade again.

Anyone else trade over $1k within a week but still under $2k & not get banned the following month?

For 7 days only, my total would've been $1300ish, 8th day was like $500ish.

Should've been more conservative, but was afraid values would tank lol

Theres also something where if you trade any too many phones or systems in a small window of time the system bans you.

well, they shouldn't've said to come back the next day to trade in another Apple item if the next day is still considered "small window" lolol geez I mean I knew "same day trade" would def be "small window" lol, yes I traded in Apple stuff on 2 consecutive days ( rofl i guess I deserved this hit from the banhammer rofl even though I was def below $2k

Im curious are the people getting banned at the $500-$600 cash level making any purchases at GS at all or are you just buying stuff from BB, Walmart, Target, etc... and trading just for cash at GS.

Is there a possibility that cash & credit total are the same $2k pool instead of separate $500 cash/$2k credit, was no where near the cash limit, under $70 in, but had a really high credit trade history...

Trades this round consisted of about 55% GS purchases & 45% mix of BBY & Walmart & TrU purchases.

Before I used a boomerang a while ago, I found this in a FC4 case I think, behind all the random inserts, lol can't believe this dude still traded in for so very little for JC3

GS FC4.jpg

It took me over 3 hours just to trade in all my copies of tmnt yesterday. Close to $2000 in 8 days? I don't think I would have enough patience to do all that driving back and forth. Wow. That's dedication.

FC4? or maybe JC3?

Thanks for replying. That small install size is a nice bonus (to be expected for a lazy port, I guess).

Did you play online or offline? Supposedly being connected to XBL while you play can up your game.

it wasn't just games, i think u all are trading in just games? was trading in electronics too

FC4? or maybe JC3?

it was a while ago, forgot to take a pic of it to post how low the tiv was & saw this receipt again the other day, the receipt is dated 12/27/2015 & I don't remember if it was in a case it was supposed to be for the right game, so I edited my original post, thought it was forgotten in a FC4 case & meant to say FC4 though the receipt is for another purchase of JC3 but idk with all the trades thru out this year I've done lol there was also a PS+ receipt in the same game case forgotten by the same guy...not sure why this guy didn't keep his receipts all in the same place lol.

 

[kojubat]

Speaking of, for those of you working at Gamestop, I really hope that laminated Madden information sleeve goes away quickly or that the store I was in today was just being punished for something. I was there not twenty minutes after opening and they were already over it.

It is way up there in the 'ridiculous things required of employees' list.

 

[ironmenpb]

what time during the day does gamestop tank their trade in prices.?   

 

[josekortez]

I got cash for the first time today, and the guy said people hardly ever ask for cash at that store. I laughed to myself on that one. On a related note, I'm considering cashing out a $20 rewards coupon to buy either Puzzle & Dragons or LBX for 3DS. Anyone know which of these games I'll get more play time out of?

If those are your only two choices, unless you really love match puzzle games you will get more out of LBX.

 

[Dashey10]

Just did another cash in trade for $120 this time. Rebought everything and bought myself an extra 360 slim power adapter and still have leftover cash.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm currently at $1,999.60 w/ credit ($16XX) and cash ($3XX) combined. Too scared to get banned again (90 days is a long time to be out of the loop).

Wowzers, that's super duper close lololol

That's another reason why I was attempting to do a cash trade coz I was under $70 for cash, whereas credit was over $18xx, but the register still popped the tradeban notification lol. 1st time banned here & I'm usually careful about dealing with GS =/

 

[britton_draws]

Are there any good credit movers from Gamestop -> Best Buy at the $30 range? Trying to work a deal involving a b2g1 but every way I shake it I just want 2 things and the cheapest is $30. Looks like Mario Party 10 would be free and that trades in for $10 and that is the best I can find currently.

Give me your PUR # and I'll go trade in a Skylander/DI/Lego/Amiibo figure for you and push you over the line.

 

[acthechamp]

Noobish question, sorry. How do I check what exactly and how much exactly I've traded in [for cash]?

Are you guys keeping track through receipts or is there an online way to check?

 

[Archaic]

You're right. We brought attention to it. That was point. If he didn't mean to be offensive, that's better. But he still needed to know it was offensive. If we "layed off" as you sad, and only one or two people mentioned it, it probably wouldn't do much. 10 or more posts really lets him know it's not ok. Plus, how do you know he wasn't trying to be offensive? He hasn't responded back to all these posts yet. So now, hoping that it has been brought to his attention, you're right, let's move on. Just don't act like this is something we should all just brush off, because in that, lies the problem.

Using the spreadsheet, I found that the best B2G1 GS->BB items were Battleborn and Dungeons 2. They're higher than your price range though

I was at GS today and the rep there said the credit=cash promo ends today. Is that correct? I think i read on here it was being extended to the 28th (but i may be mistaken or was that a different promo?)

Thanks!
