[quote name='joshthegreat69']Unreal 2 (Xbox) - $1.25

I picked up a few copies of GTA: San Andreas to sell and got rebates for them. I was wondering how I could get the rebates without cutting out the original UPC. Could anyone help me out to find a way?[/QUOTE]

Only way i can think of is if you have a nice double sided color Xerox type deal =]
 
It seems like FYE is cracking down on the $18 range games if Colin McRae Rally 3 and Unreal 2 are both trading in for $1.25. I hope the other $18 games stay at their current values.
 
Those bastards don't even have Castlevania DS for pre-order yet.

I have around $170 in trade-in credit, I did it ONLY to get these games when they come out.

Castlevania DS
Metroid Prime Hunters DS
Soul Calibur 3 PS2
Megaman X Collection PS2

They should get all these in, right? :pray:

I was just about to bring up this point.
Your not gonna find too many "lesser known" games at FYE or Wherehouse B&M's although the ones you mentioned with the exception of Castlevania should be in stock when released.

For the DS i've been looking for Polarium,Meteos,Bomberman,etc.. but they don't carry them at the B&M stores.

I've decided recently to move my trade-in operation to wherehouse.com which actually stocks the majority of games released. I just need to stack up enough games to get more shipping credit from them :)

i officially have no more FYE credit. Went and bought Kung Fu Hustle , Some phillips headphones, and a couple .49 used cds. I used two of the $10 coupons from the buy 30, get 10 deal. They couldn't figure out the register, so instead of getting the remaining $40 from my credit, i got cash.
w00t.
 
Traded these for cash yesterday at an FYE that doesn't sell games:

Army Men: RTS-$21
Shadow Ops-$18

Both of these cost $10 at CC. I think I'm gonna chill on the FYE stuff for a few months. I think the only times I'm gonna trade-in stuff is when I travel to my hometown. There's like 6-7 FYE's and 1 Wherhouse within 30-40 miles from the suites I always stay in when I visit.

I have a local FYE that accepts game trade ins, but doesn't sell games as well. These seem really good to trade into because they can't say "Oh, we have 9 of Malice. We can't accept that."

I brought in a $5 Robotech Invasion (CC after BB coupon) and
$8 Steel Battalion Line of Contact (EB online after coupons)

Offered $7.50 for RI and $26.50 for SBLoC

Took the $26.50 and bought 3 games that will be PO at EB :)

Traded in Robotech Invasion to EB for $12.50 toward Nascar 06 deal.

so, my $8 in EB credit becomes $26.50 in FYE credit which is almost enough to cover 3 games (2 at $10 and one at $8) that will get $37.50 at EB . . . this is sick.

wow very nice job... they shut down the good FYE here in seattle, and I'm really missing it after reading posts like this. That steel battalion deal is just too good to pass up though, I'll have to try that one out at the one picky FYE we have left.

schultz--I don't use the term hypocrite often.... but the fact that you flipped out on me for buying two copies of SB (one for my collection, one for FYE), proceeded to blast me and say that you hope they refused to take it, claimed that there were other people who had missed out on getting a beloved game for their collection, and then you go and buy a copy of it and do the same thing.....?


Remind me to ignore your posts in the future--I get my fill of hypocrisy from politicians, and can do without seeing it from loud-mouthed board members.
 
VERY IMPORTANT POINT I NEED TO SHARE!!

This isn't new news but some people including myself forget this occasionally.

At Wherehouse stores(not sure about FYE) when they ring up your game THE CASH VALUE COMES UP,NOT THE CREDIT VALUE!!!! The cashier is suppose to add 20% more value to your item if you want store credit.

I have 2 credit slips sitting in front of me.
March Madness 2005 ps2 is $9 on one & $11.25 on another, in which the lady added the 20% extra.
 
no flamming please- How does walmart's no receipt return policy works? How many of the same game can be turn in at once, and how many games total can be turn in at once?
 
Before i head out to Toys r Us today for there 50% off sale i will share with you guys my list.
NOTE: ALL OF THESE GAMES SHOULD BE $10 OR LESS AT TRU!!!!


Trade in values are listed next to the games.

Xbox

Shadow Ops

As much as I'll try to defend myself, he's right! I was being a dick and shooting my mouth off without thinking.

Actually . . . I bought a copy of LOC after your tip . . . so, I apologize and thank you :).

I felt bad for ragging on after you explained later that one copy was for yourself and I realized you were a productive member of the group.

The way I read your initial post (all bleary eyed at 6:30 morning) is that you had bought up all the copies of the game (not knowing it was only two). Plus, not much of a defense, but I recall someone else had already slammed you so I was piling on thinking you were one of the jerks who occasionly pops up in the morning update and snaps up everything they can.

I am a loudmouth and I guess I am a hypocrite and should be more careful in my comments (and behavior) but do I really need to be compared with George Bush??? ;-)

Now that's pretty cool... When you dudes can resolve that in a non-inflammatory manner.

Also, more on topic, it would appear that SOCOM is a great deal for trade-ins as GameStop recently lowered their price for a used copy to $4.99. I'm definitely down with turning $5 into $15.
 
but will u get 7.50 or 15.00, website has a separate spot for non-headset, and it gets 7.50 even though has same UPC as $15.00 one...

Since this has become a public spectacle, I spent some time digging up the exchange (I really feel bad about it).

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57609&page=32&pp=20

Starts with #625 and I haven't changed a word and regret some of what I said in #634 (the attack on wampa8jedi).

On the next page, he wrote:
"schultz--I don't mean to attack, but honestly, what part of your body are you speaking with? Cause it ain't your mouth...

I have sold more games on the cheap (where's the person I sold LaPucelle to for $5 shipped new?), turned down more deals, and grabbed copies for more gamers on these boards than 96% of the users here. Hell, you yourself have bought things in this thread (and prior ones) that I pointed out and could have easily bought out from under you, but didn't. I'm not even going to waste my breath on apologizing for buying two copies of a game (one for my collection, one for FYE) simply because it's not necessary."

Then I wrote (what I thought was an apology :))
"Actually, I was "speaking" with my fingers

No one asked for an apology . . . if you're not a hoarding bastard then I apologize to you. I myself am far from being an angel. If you do give as much as you take (or more) then I did not mean to besmirch your character.

Honestly."

Personally, I hope wampa8jedi . . . accepts that I made an honest error.
 
my FYE gave me a gift card today (they have the new computers) i traded in a bunch of dvds i paid $5 or less for that got me $10 apiece, i am surprised they didnt lower the prices like they did with the games, i am hoping that the new practice is to give both scanned prices and gift cards, if so I am gonna be looking at a 40-50% off LCD tv from fye in a few months.
 
I know this my not be the right area for this post, but I figured if anyone would know the answer it would be the people on this thread.

Did anyone reserve their 360 at FYE, I did this weekend and they never took my name or phone number information. Wondering if anybody else had the same thing happen to them and if it did how do they know to hold one for you?

Any info would help thanks.
 
i picked up 2 nightshades, my store had tons of maximos but I dont see $15 out of $10 a very good turnaround at FYE since unless I bought a game with it I wouldnt really see a return on my investment due to their inflated prices.

I put 50$ down on mine about three weeks ago. I have a receipt.
 
and socom only nets $7.50, still not a bad turnaround since they have tons at gs for $5.00, but a 33% discount isnt huge and u need to trade in a bunch to see any return
 
Don't know if it was mentioned already, but Trivial Pursuit PS2 $5 at CC gets $12 cash at Wherehouse/FYE.

I went last night to trade a bunch of fodder I've had laying around. Collin Mcraye Rally 3 only gets a buck now. :( Anyone know if GR or EB gives anything for it?
 
FYE is really going downhill. Today, they wouldn't accept my DVD's because they didn't have chapter inserts. The problem is that when I bought them brand new, they didn't come with inserts. Not all DVD's come with chapter inserts.

Oh well, looks like I'll just stick with Malice, Shadow Ops, and V-Rally 3.

They gave me $14.40 credit at the local FYE here.... They all seem to vary now.
 
well she looked it up and said 15, but when scanned, came up as 7.50

I think Socom with the headset rings up around $15 and $7.50 without it...
 
I traded in R-Type Final for $15 and Second Sight for $13.75. Got both for $5 at TRU. Also are they still giving 27.00 for Room Zoom? I found a copy at TRU and before I open it I want to see if its still that high.
 
weird that you got 13.75 for Second Sight and mine didn't have it in their system. Guess im sending it into wherehouse.com

Try to trade the game in as Sealed and you will find out if its 27 or not.
 
rumor has it that its a penny

went to FYE and used 3 of the $10 off coupons i had and got

American Psycho Killer Edition for .99
Sin City for 2.99 after rebate
Simpsons Season 6 for 14.99 after Rebate
not bad
I need to fill in the gaps in my collection though, need s4 and 5 for simpsons.....
 
[quote name='Usa Ghost']Are these prices cash or store credit? I heard they give you like 25% or something like that if you want cash.[/QUOTE]


The prices given are for cash, ask for credit and receive extra.

BTW, just out of curiosity to see which FYE's are stocked with extra inventory, ie giving .01 for many games, which FYEs do you guys go to regularly? I go to the one lone FYE within a 50 mile radius here in oakland county michigan.

Lone one in Oakland County? We have like 4 in the area. I go to the Novi (Twelve Oaks) and Ann Arbor (Briarwood). Sometimes I go to the one in Livonia, Great Lakes Crossing and if I am out in Jackson they have one there as well. The Novi store is pretty good, but the Briarwood one is filled with jerks.

Oh wow lol...i never knew all those existed. I've only been at the one in Somerset.
 
[quote name='smellhasreturned']my FYE are scratch nazis they wont take anything unless its perfect :\[/QUOTE]


I've had games I've opened 10 seconds prior to entering the store be rejected because of the condition. :bomb:

Yeah I think there are even a few more! Those are just ones that I have been at. I even forgot that there was the Somerset one and one in Oakland Mall (which would probably be the next closest to you). Just don't try to return Trans World Surf to any of those...I think I returned about 8 copies to all those stores. :)
