despite appearances, gamestops are not pawn shopsWhat if I trade in a the game an I want it back do I pay what they pay me for the trade or they going to MSRP me help?
Actually in California they are considered a pawn shop/second hand dealer. That's why they require an ID and fingerprint scan for trade ins.despite appearances, gamestops are not pawn shops
Yep, and somehow nobody was talking about it. I was just as surprised when I found out.They have had this promotion for almost 2 weeks now...
I like the 70% offer they ran a few weeks ago even better. Unless you really need the credit now, it's best to horde all your trades until the next 70% offer.I like the alternate trade bonus going on right now even better: 30% pro (40% elite) bonus credit on trades toward psn/xbox/apple gift cards.
Everybody is talking about it in the gamestop thread. You really didn't need to make a thread just for this.Yep, and somehow nobody was talking about it. I was just as surprised when I found out.
You're : You areYour right, they are seedier and shadier
And yet it went FP.Everybody is talking about it in the gamestop thread. You really didn't need to make a thread just for this.
there is a reason we dont share info with slick deals, they are savages that will kill any promo with their greedAnd yet it went FP.
Clearly you guys weren't sharing so I did.
There's a clear difference between blatant abuse of a deal and something that is being offered in earnest. Furthermore, nobody here or there can labeled under a banner as a root cause for a deal dying other than people.there is a reason we dont share info with slick deals, they are savages that will kill any promo with their greed
but we cant pick and choose which deals they will simply take advantage of and what deals they will abuse into oblivion, so how do you decide what to share to the masses?There's a clear difference between blatant abuse of a deal and something that is being offered in earnest.

Speaking of good uses of time- being the grammar police and then using the wrong form of “there”...You're : You are
Your : Possesive, like "your post is ridiculous"
Gamestop is optional, you don't even need to walk in there doors if you don't want. Gamestop saves you time listing on ebay or craigslist, effort driving to a meetup or post office, money on gas and packing materials... You walk in, they offer money, period.
Blind Gamestop hate is stupid, I profit most the time I deal with them... I bought an iPhone last year offer Craigslist for $150 and walked in a Gamestop minutes later to get $230 credit. You're doing something wrong.
Thanks for stopping in a Gamestop thread to bash Gamestop - Great use of your time, A+.
What? It's stacking? :shock:California's deal is 50% extra trade credit on top of your normal pro or elite bonus.
Dude, I’m a English teacher with a PhD waiting approval , so if you think I care about syntax enough to fight with my iPad (auto correct), then you’re taking a very true, and very funny post WAY too seriouslyYou're : You are

Actually that has been my point of contention here, but I suppose I can spell it out. I was absolutely oblivious to the trade increase until seeing it make headlines in gaming news, despite how often I frequent here but couldn't care less about the GS thread because I don't shop there. So I searched for a thread since it was news to me: nothing. I checked SD for a thread: nothing. So I posted here and there about it, both of which went FP.Let me guess, somebody from slickdeals saw this deal in the GS thread > reposted it to Slickdeals > you reposted the deal from slickdeals here on cag.
Circle of life.
Yes for California since they have the deal it stacks. It's 70% for elite pro and 60% for regular pro. 50% for regular membership.What? It's stacking? :shock:
Indeed. I’ve been moving a lot of stuff toward GS the past two weeks that would usually go to eBay. Some of the TIV are crazy good, and to simply walk into GS and collect cash rather than deal with the hassles of online sales? Count me in.You're : You are

The only problem is you have to go in at a certain time because they don't keep a lot of money on hand at the beginning of the day. One employee told me to come back later.Indeed.

Shouldn’t be a factor, though I believe some on here got docked on very rare occasions for no case by the odd, nefarious GS employee.Is it ok to trade in a game that is just the disc no case? If so do they take off for it? Thanks.
I wish they included Steam cards. No idea why those are omitted.I like the alternate trade bonus going on right now even better: 30% pro (40% elite) bonus credit on trades toward psn/xbox/apple gift cards.
It is probably because the specific wording in the promotion is implying you would use the gift cards towards Fortnite currency.I wish they included Steam cards. No idea why those are omitted.
Correct, that bonus is for specific Fortnite cards, I went in asking the same thing and it won't work on your typical Xbox/PSN currency cards. The Fortnite packs have a specific SKU.It is probably because the specific wording in the promotion is implying you would use the gift cards towards Fortnite currency.
I feel your pain! I had the same experience a few months ago(granted I didn’t pay $200) your best bet is to trade in as defect but might only get $75-$90 for it. Or you can sell off the controller and hang on to it in hopes of a future update fixing the disk drive issueSo I just learned a $200 lesson. I bought a used PS4 slim 500gb from offer up with a broken disc drive and won't allow me to update or I'd just do digital.
Will GameStop take it as a defective and does anyone know what the fee might be?
Thanks in advance.

Last time I traded in a ps4 that was defective I was hit with a $50 refurb fee. It may have changed.So I just learned a $200 lesson. I bought a used PS4 slim 500gb from offer up with a broken disc drive and won't allow me to update or I'd just do digital.

Yeah I'm hopeful that I get at least $100. I see that it currently trades in at $175. I guess I'll buy a new one. Sucks but I'll never buy off OfferUp again.I feel your pain!

Seconded. I did a $50 PSN physical card. Gave the bonus automatically. The Fortnite part of the promo isn't even mentioned in either of the print/PDF ad pages that the bonus is featured on. The only time I saw it mentioned was looking in my offers on the app. You'd think they would at least show a logo or image of Fortnite if that's what the promo was all about.They do not have to be Xbox currency cards specific to fortnight...the Xbox currency cards gave the boost and had nothing to do with fortnite.
Hey old thread but I’m sure not where else to ask; where did the old GameStop thread go?
Funny how Blackbeard is still getting threads closed and causing chaos and he isn't even a member anymore.
