Just four shouldn't have done anything in the system. Sounds like either something else or a Jr detective got involved.

Interesting, what would be the consensus limit? By experience?

4 in a month is the limit. 5 gets the ban.

 

[dgwillia006]

Did 2 copies today, no issues with either. Would have went for a third but I don't feel like getting Jr. Detective'd or banned somehow.

Miss the days where these sort of easy flips happened more often.

 

[Saint'sRow911]

Got my 3 copies in with no issues.

$104.xx and $10 in cash netted me $100 Amazon and $45 in XB credit.

Thanks for the heads up CAG

 

[cg8889]

Didn't go bananas with the TESO as I just did one. With my leftover credit and the flip, grabbed a $50 Amazon gift card in the hopes of maybe something good to come from Prime Day.

Does anyone know exactly how trade in's are tracked? There doesn't seem to be much consistency in the process; some stores need to see your ID but some don't and a select few requires finger prints (this must be due to local laws). Are they tracked using your personal information on the Power Up Rewards card/ID or is it simply just tracked through the PUR account alone?

PUR and/or ID

If the store requires ID, that is tracked also.

 

[HotTubTim]

Does anyone know approximately when trade values drop on the website/app?

 

[bjstucker]

Finished up Witcher 3 and 48 for it would be good as that is what I payed for it

 

[Rick4Life]

Yea, I have Witcher 3 which I can't wait to play... Except I own a copy for XB1 and I want it for PS4. So I will trade it in tomorrow hopefully for $48.

[gospelman]

Well MLB 15 is showing $18 base still and I have it locked for 7/13.  Have a few 50% coupons to use

I also happen to have a b2g1 coupon which expires 7/14.  Anyone know a good way to use this for building GS or BB credit?

 

[tsa4lyfe]

Anyone got 2 coupons for sale? Pm me plz!!!

 

[chrome3333]

Pretty sure someone can give you two for free else wise I might sell you two of mine.

Does GS accept trade ins of third party 360 controllers? (like those Rock candy ones)

 

[kickrockz713]

Does GS accept trade ins of third party 360 controllers? (like those Rock candy ones)

yes, $9.50 base right now. I also had traded my purple RC one in the last 50% promo

 

[LyotoMachida]

Question. I recently started trading in 360 slim adapters. I knew I couldn't go to crazy without getting banned. I traded in two using my PUR account and two without it but they did still enter information about me. So can I safely trade in two more today without getting banned? Thanks

Did they use your ID in the first two transactions? (the ones with PUR)

 

[LyotoMachida]

They all know me by name so the first two for sure used my PUR account. The second two I told them I didn't want to use my account but they still entered my name and address etc but I didn't get the bump

 

[AndyD33]

I would wait a month to be safe.

Did anyone do the Trade in which you get $30 extra Toward the purchase of a new Red Magma PS4 Controller?

You can get 40$ for a dualshock 4 for or 35$ for an X1 controller with the 50% coupon right now .

 

[Acash]

---sorry for the double post. i was just wonder  how  to do that promo and interested if  can i combine the 50% bonus coupon

 

[jacknicklson]

Edit

It's one or the other. Can't combine. So better off taking the 50% coupon promo if you have one.

 

[kickrockz713]

nvm

thank you for the quick responses. It look like it would be best if i took the red controller promo instead of the 50% bump. That promo states $30 extra towards the red controller.

 

[Vigilante]

No, it says $30 credit towards the red controller, so you'd be getting less. The word "extra" isn't used.

 

[no658ea3]

No, the summer sale would only get you $30 on the controller where the 50% coupon would get you $40 on a dualshock 4 and $35.20 on an Xbox one controller.

I'd sooner trust the image I posted which is on the main trade-in page, but I suppose you could argue for it. Don't get your hopes up, though.

If the system allow is that would be nice but I have a feeling that the main page is correct. At the end of the day i don't need a new controller.

 

[watson5376]

Anyone have a spare code laying around? Tried getting one earlier in the week but nothing printed out, and the employee was just as confused.

 

[MSUHitman]

I overheard someone selling their Xbox One today for $90 cash at GS.

Had to be refurb fee and/or missing components as cash value is currently $140.

 

[leecy]

I asked about this while I was there earlier and the employee checked and said it was just a flat $30 and not an extra $30. I didn't have him ring it up, though.

 

[Kevlar338]

Someone in the other thread posted he got 45$ for trading in a dualshock 4 towards a magma red one with the 50% coupon . He got an extra 5$ on top of the 40$ for just the 50% and pur . Base is 25$ so the extra 5$ must of came from the magma red promo bring it up to 30$ and stacking the 50% and pur on the base value . Going to try later trading an X1 contoller towards the magma red . If it works it should be 22$ base + 8$ (magma promo) + 11 (50%) + 2.2$ (pur) = 43.20 total . If anyone tries it post back .

 

[AndyD33]

Just burned the shit out of the cashier that tried to charge me refurb fees for games without cases.

The amusing part is that after I called her on her bullshit, she had to void the transaction and rering it without the refurbs.  But she didn't have another 50% coupon in the trash, so she had to manually adjust the TIVs, so I got a bit extra because of that.

Meanwhile at my GameStop a few months ago when their Kingdom Hearts was missing a case, the employee gave me a sweet discount and felt bad. He's awesome, glad you called her out lol

Did she have an attitude or something?

 

[AndyD33]

She has worked there for around 3+ years. Long enough to know the policy.

Sounds like not for much longer though...

 

[Carlanga]

So my credit was put into a GS GC, is there any way to load it into my account?

 

[KillScottKill]

Destiny isn't showing up on the trade site. They not taking the base game anymore? Wanted to unload it before the Taken King CE came out.

GameStop removes the TIV from the website when they put a game on sale. You have to call a store to get the value.

 

[ssjr760]

Where can I get the 50% coupon?

 

[sladeums]

Base values
PS4 11
PS3 10
XB1 12
360 10

Or check the app if you have a supported mobile device. Even though they get removed from the website, you can still find values there (iOS at least, I assume Android is the same).

Yes, checking the app usually gives you the values. I traded in destiny for the xb1 yesterday for 12 base which is consistent with the app value.

 

[209chromatic]

Few games dropped including ESO.

 

[Bobby777]

did they stop the guaranteed $40 trade in for batman? I ask cause website now shows $38.50 trade credit after PUR
