Can I post question on this thread?
Only if you can't find the answer from below. Please let me know if it needs to be added to FAQ.
What if the deal is regional or store specific?
Do not post any deals that are YMMV, typical to Best Buy manager specials or Wal-Mart clearances which can vary from store to store... Target, K-Mart, and Sears clearances are included as they are done corporate wide and only varying based on the schedule from store to store. Deals of the Day (Amazon) will not be included on the spreadsheet but can be discussed in this thread.
What counts as a flip?
Anything that at least breaks even (pay $5 and get $5) will be included for purposes of credit transfers and other uses.
Do the flips include sales tax or shipping costs?
No, you will need to determine that cost for your specific situation.
Am I allowed to add a flip to the spreadsheet?
Yes, you have permission, but it is tracked by log-in ID (required) and version control can roll back to previous versions if the data is corrupted.
Are both cash and credit flips included?
Yes, if there is an option for either credit and/or cash at the service buying/trading the games then both amounts will be given.
Are promotional discounts figured in?
Constant promotional discounts: ECA for Amazon purchases, Edge for GameStop, MVP for GameCrazy, are factored into the buy and sell prices appropriately. If you do not already have these discounts, then you will need to adjust the pricing in your own records.
What are the abbreviations?
BBV = Blockbuster Video
GS = GameStop
GC = GameCrazy
