So, I have been going to two EB Games with my stuff - some of which was from TRU, some from other places, and some actual games I wanted to get rid of.
I hadn't traded anything in to this EB in over a week and had never seen the one guy working there before (so there should of been no memory of my previous couple of Mojo trades). He scans in my Xbox Mojo and GC Tony Hawk 4 and tells me the computer won't accept them. He can't do anything about it because it "comes from corporate". He goes on to say that it could mean they have too many of this game or just don't want to take it in any more (but all out of his control). And besides, Tony Hawk is a sports game so it doesn't count.
So, OK, as far as Mojo is concerned, I can see why this ONE store wouldn't want to take it - it is only a mile from a TRU that had a pile of Mojo's and I noticed quite a few in their front bin for the B2G1 sale. But I knew the guy was BS-ing me when he threw in the "comes from corporate" thing and particularly when he told me Tony Hawk 4 was excluded. ESPECIALLY when it rang up at "0" trade value according to him. Wouldn't it ring up at least 25 cents or something even if it was a crappy game excluded from the $5 bonus deal (and being a GCN PC title I don't think I would consider it a crappy game)?
Anyway, I hauled myself over to the other mall where they had absolutely no trouble giving me $13 credit for those two games ($7 for Tony Hawk 4). "From corporate" my ass... Anyway, since that was the last of them, I just decided to buy the DS (still had to shell out $65 cash though - but at least my cash went to the "nice" store).
Besides the little hiccup tonight the deal has gone well for me EXCEPT -
I had a friend (not interested in games) buy some games at a TRU across the country and send them media mail (wouldn't want shipping taking all the bonus away). She sent them almost 2 weeks ago and they haven't gotten here yet. When they do arrive (I'm sure it will be Monday since that's the day after the deal ends) I'll have to figure out what to do with a couple of Primal's and some other junk (but different than anything else I had). The TRU's here never had Primal so I thought it would have been refreshing for the EB's here to get a few for a change

. Oh well, I can always save them for Gamerush deals.
