The extra 50% toward a switch game/accessory is valid tomorrow too right? I've got an emergency I have to attend to but I have a tote bag full of games to flip.

Yes, but extra GameStop credit should trump any emergency..

You always wanna have the best and the greatest amount of credit. It's just fantastic. If you disagree, SAD!

 

[iduncurr]

Is there any peculiar reason why Bravely Default isn't in the trade listing on their website?  

 

[reaperztoll]

Just a general notice, if you bought paper mario sticker star like I did ages ago for like $5 it's trading in for ~20 with the 60% bump.

[sunrat39]

God I feel great right now. Spent 5 bucks for a copy of Mario party 8 at goodwill (30ish bucks after bonus) spent 250 in credit at one GameStop walked three blocks and turned that all into 486.20 after 5 dollar deposit PLUS my pro points. God damn my d is rock hard

Is the b2g1 30% off going on or something? Most games only net like $6-$7 at most, and many of them cost at least $20, so I'm not quite sure how you managed to boomerang and get almost twice the amount you invested... According to BB's spreadsheet, Killing Floor 2 has the highest boomerang value, and even if you bought ($250/$20.69) = 12 copies, and you proceeded to boomerang them, then you would only get back $336. What you wrote doesn't check out.

 

[GamerDude316]

Best Buy I was passing through today had several of the bigger flips, no Spiderman though despite it showing available for pickup on the website. Oh well, should be a nice profit tomorrow when I'm back home.

I wrote this a bit upthread but I had my b2g1 from PUR. Bought 18? Games only paid for 12 (250 worth). Plus I traded in a personal copy of halo MCC , and the goodwill game that made me 25.

Same thing at my Best Buy but the guy told me they are in the back and they just never brought them out to put on shelf. Guessing it's the same thing at yours.

 

[NoOtherOptions]

Yeah I had to ask about it a few times earlier people disagreed at first. Kind wish I had gone for more but I picked through all their games took a solid 20 minutes and they were pretty busy as it was tax day and all the people were spending refunds. 18 was a pain as is. I might go back rebuy my games tomorrow with my gfs b2g1 and reflip back to my original store.

I could have worn adamantium pants and it wouldn't have helped. I live in NyC a bike I'm not trying to get run over. Plus I was drinking, so my coordinations not that hot right now.

Oh you flip in nyc? stay away from the 14th street store, manager is an asshole.

 

[NoOtherOptions]

Yeah, work in midtown live in BK. Do most of my flipping in BK everyone here's actually been pretty cool. I had two copies of bloodborne and two tomodachi life told the dude steaight out I had dupes he said "oh no problem you'll get credit for both". Reminded me of the switch bonus trade in, was cool with only 5 bucks on the 1-2 switch pre order. You have a switch pre order by chance? I'm kicking myself for not pre ordering there I have so much credit and my ing consoles at Best Buy and I HATE Atlantic center. God that location.

 

[Liquid Metal]

If you guys have any target credit, I assume you can price match the black ops bundle there to gamestops $30 price and then take it to gamestop.

 

[gldndomer]

Is the $1500 trade limit per month or per three months? I've never been worried about hitting it, until this weekend before the Switch release.

 

[josekortez]

If you guys have any target credit, I assume you can price match the black ops bundle there to gamestops $30 price and then take it to gamestop.

The Black Ops bundle might already be $29.99 in store. I remember scanning it last week when I was checking random value games to see if they had hit clearance.

Does the boomerang spreadsheet not work on mobile? Won't load on my iPad.

Don't click the link copy paste it. It does work a few people including me had problems. read back the past 3-4 pages for alternate methods as well. Cheers.

Download Google sheets if you don't have it. When I click the link on my phone it opens google sheets.

Can confirm for those who don't know and still wondering. Gamestop is now giving 50% instead of the 60% apart from the 10% having PUR for the bonus. You can just finish paying an accessory which mine came out to 3 bucks and the rest went to my switch pre order. I received 80 in total instead of 50 so I got 30 extra with the bonus. Need for speed rivals is a good flip for bieng a 3 year old game. An Xbox one controller is a good flip it's like buying a new one when it's on sale. I tried getting the amazing spiderman 2 at BB but supposibly they didn't have any when online it says for pick up. So yeah that was my first trade in/flip experience.

It has always been 50% bonus and 10% with pur for a total of 60% and is still that way

Yes, tomorrow is the last day.

As a tip, you should be aware that the value games are sprawled all over the gaming section. For example at my store all of the GS flips were actually on one of those small cardboard displays. So be sure to check out not only the gaming shelves and value sections, but you'll need to be sure you check the end caps and any floor displays.

Have $250 in trade credit. Top 3 games I should scoop up to trade in?

 

[iiSaviour]

Gamestop stopped selling Amazon gift cards correct?

 

[ZeroGame]

I think they still sell Amazon cards but it can't be bought with trade credit/giftcards

 

[Bigmeat23]

They do not sell Amazon cards anymore.

Picked up a copy of the CoD Black Ops Collection 1-3. After taking off the slip cover, the two separate cases (combo pack 1-2 and black ops 3) both have "not for resale" where the barcode is supposed to be. Anyone have any experience with trading in something like this at Gamestop? As a consumer of preowned games myself I would rather not trade the games in without the artwork if possible, but also don't want to get rejected/draw any unwanted attention to myself. Nothing is written on the discs so the artwork is the only thing that says "not for resale".Got rejected when I tried to trade in Uncharted 4 with the same "not for resale" situation at Best Buy.

Best Buy tends to be more anal about those things. With GS, they just look up the value.

If you guys have any target credit, I assume you can price match the black ops bundle there to gamestops $30 price and then take it to gamestop.

Think the cheapest atm is Walmart at $29.49 coz Target is $29.99 same as GS.

 

[Helldweller87]

Hmm so tempted to go all out and get a ps4 pro cheap. I have enough points to get $50 off coupon. I know i am close to the trade threshold but it is tempting as i already have my switch and zelda masters paid off.

 

[Sunrisecityrider]

Have $250 in trade credit. Top 3 games I should scoop up to trade in?

I turned $502 to $953 today. I unloaded some games that I've yet to play and I bought for less than the Trade price. I went to 1 GameStop about 7 miles away and bought about 25 games off the spreadsheet. I checked them out first so I knew this store had much in stock. Then drive back towards my house and released the Kraken on one of my 3 closest stores.

I paid off the Has been heroes game and paid off the Bomberman game, bought a $20 Pokémon card pack and a $7 Mario Uno game for the kids. Picked up a BK gift card and headed out with my $953 worth of credit.

Took about 1 hour and 45mins.

Now I wait to see if any higher ups actually see me as suspicious.

I also helped a lady buy an Xbox1 and a controller for her son. She used my account and paid with her credit card so my account looks like I spent over $300 in real money.

Oh I bought the WiiU and Mario Kart8 she was trading in for $95 cash. Flipped MK8 and now have a WiiU for about the cost of an NES classic.

Cue Ice Cube " it was a good day" track.

Edit, it gets even better. Just opened the mail and I see that the IRS has confirmed that I owe them $0 from 2015.

Hey guys, just wanted to give you an update on the next Nintendo Switch trade promotion. It's similar to the current one, but will be 40% bonus/50% with PUR Pro.

So from 2/27 to 3/19, get 40% bonus credit (50% with Pro) for game/accessory trades towards the preorder/purchase of Nintendo Switch games/accessories.

So you are saying don't bother picking up or paying off any of our switch preorder stuff
