Time to start doing the math, but it looks like trade-in mania is here again. EB from 5/2 - 5/29 is giving an extra $10.00 credit for every three games traded in WITH NO EXCLUSIONS though the titles must all be different during each trade in.

Start buying up those two dollar games...

Yeah, but it's not worth a damn if they only give you .01-1.00 for each of the games you try to trade in like they do sometimes with crappy next-gen games.
 
The restrictions are of course Next Gen Games only and:

"Games trade-in must be 3 different titles. Boxes and instructions are required. Cannot be combined with any other offer or discount. Some customers may be responsible for sales tax. Not valid at EBGames.com Full games only; no demo discs accepted. Offer valid from May 2, 2004 through May 29, 2004. See slaes associates for complte details."

Also they have their incremental percentage increase for used games:

Buy 2 games 20% off with card
Buy 3 games 25% off with card
Buy 4 games 30% off with card
 
I've learned that trying to get a better trade in deal at Ebgames or Gamestop is almost impossible. 90% of the game, the house always wins :p

You are correct, sir.

If you really want to clean out your collection use ebay. The slot machines may not need much skill but you don't get any return. With the table games you have a chance.
 
I was at EB tonight and saw this deal. HOWEVER, the guy also told me they do not issue vouchers anymore. If I wanted to trade in my games, I'd have to use that trade credit on the spot or otherwise forfeit the remainder. I'm in Florida, and he said it was a new state law. Sounded bogus, so I left.
 
Keep in mind, its $10 extra...not $10 extr for each game (meaning $30 plus whatever there worth). Ill be trading in some crap tonight.
 
I would do this but I already got rid of all my games I didn't want anymore. This always happens right after I unload at EB too. I was just there a few days ago trading in older stuff. GRRRR.
 
[quote name='Requiem']Wait I'm confused. It's $10 for all three games traded in, not $10 +$10 + $10. Right?[/quote]

$10 for all three.
 
I thought they meant 10 plus the value of each game. But the sports game they only give like a buck for so it wouldn't be that much more.

But are you sure its 10 for all three? Can I give like 1 for ps2 and 2 for xbox?
 
If I remember correctly, EB was giving $.25 (that's cents) for some next gen titles. Keep in mind the $10 on top would only give you $10.75 for three games. Is that worth it? Even if they gave you $1 each, $13 credit for 3 games?
 
Depends on how much the games were, or how bad they are. I wouldn't trade in say... Disgaea, however.

someone should post some good trade in deals. Games that are inexpensive to buy, but earn some good store credit.
 
Rather do 5 games for FREE game instead but still hope Ebgames change they mind about trade-in 5 games for FREE game.

I wanted Trade-in 4 games for FREE game not 5 games for Free game.
 
You might rather do five games for free game BUT try and trade in MLB 2002 for ANYTHING. Hell, try and sell it on ebay...it's worthless. The same with any old sports game they no longer have any value...with the 4 or 5 games for a new game EB's exclusion list is HUGE...
 
They are pretty harsh on sports games. I tried to trade in NFL 2k3 one time and I think it was like 2 dollars, and the game cost me $50 when I bought it way back. I ddin't trade it in though.
 
i dont know why anybody trades their games back in....i was about to cry the other day at gaystop when i saw these two women (who obviously didn't know what they were doing) who were trading in a bag full (yes, a sports authority bag full) of video games and dvds....

i was watching as the gaystop worker pulled out billy madison...said, "cool...billy madison...great movie...mint condition...seventy five cents....south park season 3....nice....i might buy this myself...haha....two dollars...disgaea...mint....four dollars"...they did have some other poo poo titles that i saw like paper boy for n64...that he gave them twenty five cents for....and pac man for gamecube (i dont know what she got for that)....but still i wanted to pull the women aside and say look....ill give you $50 for the bag....it was way more then what they were getting from them....knowing gaystop will get way over a couple of hundred dollars by reselling all of the stuff....i know they were taking advantage of these women due to them knowing nothing about games...

the guy directly behind them heard the employees prices for a couple games and said he'd give them $XXXX for certain games and the employee said that he can get arrested for interfering with the transaction by giving competitve prices....thats messed up...

anyways...i would never trade in a game...
 
that's hilarious, get him arrested. i'd do that just to piss them off. i mean seriously, what the FUK are they going to do. i'd love to see that.
 
wait wait are they going to give cash?? or just store credit?

I need $40 quick and this would help a lot...

also is GBA a next gen console?? I hated Mario & Luigi and wanna get rid of it
 
You can only trade in PS2,Gamecube or Xbox games
-no duplicate titles
-no demo disc
-you can trade in sports titles like nba live 2001 etc

you basically trade in 3 games and you get whatever they a worth plus a bonus 10 dollars on top of the regular trade in value for the 3 games, so each game gets like 3.33 added to it.

I think they give less cash than strore credit. If you get, say, $40 store credit, it will be even less as cash. I think 20% or less. Someone must know for sure.

That's a funny story about the ladies and the arrest. Once again, another EB employee dumb as a sack of...uh...video games.

What did the other guy do when he was threatened to be arrested?

the guy just laughed and looked around at everyone in the store (including me, i just shook my head and smirked when he looked at me)...then continued hovering over the deal that was going on
 
Can you imagine the 911 call?

EB: "Hello, we have a vagrant here, giving away random competitor prices on a transaction of pre-played video games and DVDs. He has hazel eys, brown hair. About 5'11''."

Police: "God almighty! We'll be over right away. We'll call for reinforcements!"

I totally agree with you on this one it's almost feudal to even try .
 
I like the sound of this. Especially with the extra 10% off when u buy 2 used games. Hm... I might do this. $27.50 for R + C: GC (Paid $20), Hobbit ($10 at amazon), Madden 2002 ($8). Loos, of $10. Might be time to pick up Pandorra Tomm- its only $30 used for PC. Maybe F-Zero GX too. With the price drop, used copies might drop too. Sweet.

is that like futile japan? :rofl:
 
I asked one of the employees at Eb and they said you get 60% of the trade-in credit. For example if you got 20 in credit, you'd get 12 in cash.
 
one time at eb a guy was trading in like 30 n64 games and a system and the guy was like

ok 50 cents, thats nice 1 dollar etc etc and I was behind him and he said he would sell me everything for 60, not that bad for 30 n64 games and a system and controllers and some racing wheel, I didn't do it though. I would have pulled those two ladies aside and made a deal with them and what are they going to do, kick me out of the store and if they did I would have told the two ladies to come outside to sell me the games. They probably got 20 dollars store credit, lol.


I remember one guy who traded in a gba for 20 bucks, I should have given him 20 cash for it. It was missing a battery cover but you can get those on ebay for like 4 bucks. He was trading it in because he bought a gba sp and didn't want to pay 100 for it I guess.
