FAQ:
How do I get those sticky yellow EB stickers off my case?
Buy a bottle of Goo Gone. They're usually $5 or less. They last forever and are a good purchase if you buy lots of used games. You can find them at drug stores or places like Wal Mart.

The bottle looks like this:

When is the EBgames morning update?
Usually between 7am and 7:30am eastern time, Monday through Friday. There are no updates on some holidays.

How do I know the update happened?
The number of in stock games will drop to zero, then rise back up. This takes less than a minute.

I had game X in my cart, but it disappeared while I was checking out. What happened?
Someone else beat you to it. Just because an item is in your cart, doesn't mean it's reserved for you until you finish checking out.

How do you know how many copies of game X are in stock?
When the item is in your cart, change the quantity to a large number (like 99). When the page refreshes, the quantity will be reduced to the number available.

Are there any coupons I could use to save money?
CAG15 gives you 15% off used merchandise.
CAG16 gives you 16% off $50 or more worth of used merchandise.
SAVER gives you free shipping on orders containing used games and accessories. For some reason, Gameboy games do not work with SAVER.

[quote name='Genocidal']Yea, Lunar 2 got a price drop and is now $29.99 b/c. It's been in stock quite a bit lately with the price drop -- perhaps it's yet another reprint.[/QUOTE]

wonders to self if i should Drop the 3 complete lunar 2s on ebay
 
I think its the christmas season, since it seems before/during/after every holiday season prices start to rise. Trade in values are probably declining since this is the time everyone realizes they are broke and trade in all their games for cash/new games etc., also kids trading in the unwanted/played once games they got for christmas and didnt like. Therefore ebgames is getting a lot of tradein's and the more people trade in the more the trade in values will decline as the stock surplus goes up. Sales are also slower after christmas, so with everyone trading in now and sales declining, its natural that the trade in values of the games go down.

sound logic
 
Hey guys, seems that it sold out before I could get my paws on it but Crimson Skies was 4.99($3.75 with coupons)...I don't know if its been brought up, but a great deal on a great game...

There'll be more in stock . . . its been sub-$10 for awhile . . . it is one of those games that is a great deal (like Metroid Prime . . .)
 
[quote name='aoLat']Mannnn, my Front Mission 3 STILL hasn't shipped... :cry:[/QUOTE]
either has mine...

Check your local EB within the week if you (or anyone else) wants the game. Honestly, yes, it would be nice to save an extra dollar or so but the game is worth spending that one dollar more. Yes, I said it, even if it makes me a bad CAG!

Seriously, it had some fantastic online action before the advent of Halo 2. I really should get the gang together to do a few more dogfights. When you can have reliable 6+ person action going on, it's really thrilling.
 
I haven't gone to bed yet. Hopefully there will be an early update. I need to pick some stuff up at BB today before work, and I don't want to sleep the whole day away like I did yesterday.
 
Irritating Stick was in stock for a few minutes, but it got taken while I was adding it to my cart. Another update of similar quality to recent ones. Ended up picking up Time Crisis for $3.20 shipped.
 
RIP Working Designs. Everyone can rest easy that Lunar, Lunar 2, Arc The Lad, Vangaurd Bandits and all their other games will not get reprinted (in the same packaging at least).
 
Does Saver not work anymore? Its coming up $2.49 for me! What the hell. I wanted to order a cheap 'In Cold Blood' for $1.49, but after the $2.49 shipping it just isn't worth it. Dang it.

You have to enter SAVER last, if you enter another coupon after it it removes it for some reason.

Thanks for helping me out, Danro and Damian. In Cold Blood is now (finally) mine!
The game has always looked interesting to me... first found out about it on a game site in 2001. Heres the link if anyones interested:

http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/190055.asp

It supposedly has around 60 hours of gameplay.... not too shabby for only $1.49.

I also noticed that Zoop has gone down to $1.99 on SNES. Doesent look very good to me. I'm still trying to track down the ultra rare PSX version, but its doubtful I ever will.
 
[quote name='dafoomie']Careful of those, mine was torn and the dogtags were missing. Also, that shirt is very small, and the box is nothing special, just cardboard, like a PC game box. Though these should be in better condition than mine was.[/QUOTE]
And the one you got was "new"? I wouldn't be surprised if they found them in a box shoved in a corner of the warehouse.
 
The price does seem a bit high, even new.

I came across this while searching ebay for it.
[quote name='ebay seller']
This is an Xbox game I got for Christmas that I really had no interest in. Mostly because I rarely play Xbox anymore, but also because I didn't even ask for it and know nothing about the Robotech series. It's brand new and all I've done is remove the shrinkwrap to make sure the disc wasn't in bad condition. It's fine. Comes with the Jewel Case, DVD, and Instruction Booklet. It's rated T. For Teen. Meaning 13+. Maybe 12 if they're particularly well adjusted. Don't go buying it for your 6 year old, because then you'd just be an irresponsible parent.

It's a 2 Player Game

It supports HDTV mode 480p

Please buy this I'm a poor college student and I need the money for textbooks. [/quote]
 
i grab a bunch of nes games dropped. but my edge card just expired. either way grabbed about 20 bucks worth. mostly all the 1.99 or less that i dont have. i'm up to 275 games as of last night.
 
[quote name='slidecage']i got these used for 4.99 each and they came complete. for ps2[/QUOTE]

One of my first EB and CAG deals . . . they were $4.99 new instore for Gamecube in spring 2004!

I already had a cheap used copy of the game for Xbox . . . the game has been POX for all systems for a long time but oddly enough the GC copy of the game from this set (just the game) was PO . . . so I traded it in for $10 - $12 on a tradein deal :whistle2:O
