Damn. I forgot to check a store for their deals again. I was too busy flipping.

It's possible that this deal ends tomorrow. I need to try a different store than the ones near me.

 

[blackbeard4886]

So... black. Can you see if any stores show that any copies of destiny 2 is in stock?

Doesn't that come out 9/8?

 

[Deader2818]

Doesn't that come out 9/8?

Oh it does but im just curious about something.

 

[NoOtherOptions]

How the would he check stock before stock even touches a store for five months? You trying to say he's full of shit?

 

[blackbeard4886]

Did some stores get some sort of early access for employees? I'm confused why you would want to know. I mean you have better access of looking that up then I do.

 

[Deader2818]

Wow that escalated out of no where.

 

[bn222]

Somebody had mentioned b2g1 on DS games starting 4/3, was that every confirmed?

4 for $10 will be extended, and now ends on 4/23. B2G1F on all preowned DS games starts 4/3, and also ends on 4/23.

 

[NoOtherOptions]

Wow that escalated out of no where.

Wasn't trying to start anything my bad. The Shaq fu looks worse than it is. Just meant more like how would he know stock five months out?

 

[boneless]

Calm down. Maybe he's checking how stock is calculated and not necessarily seeing if it's physically in store. Deader has been as helpful as black here.

Something odd happened and trying to figure out if employee is dumb, up to something or some kinda glitch going on.

It's true.

Again, my bad wasn't trying to flame just stream of thought. No issues with you.

So, was the 4/$10 extended?  I stopped in at GS tonight (first time since it started) and they told me it's over.  I didn't have time to waste having them try to ring up for and see if the promo applied.

Yeah. Check previous comments.

 

[skateraXVIII]

Correct, ups ground is only weekdays. Next/2nd day air & express include Saturdays.

Thanks.

Thanks for the confirmation

 

[AndyD33]

Spent $104.74 on 12 games today, traded 10 of them in for $246.80.

Today was a good day.

Mainly some higher value DS and Wii games.

You going to get a price adjustment on them or something? Mind sharing which titles exactly.

Knowing Darby it was some backwoods store that priced everything wrong and he had coupons...he seems to post his one-off experiences as if its standard fare that any CAG can replicate.

 

[Liquid Metal]

Dude should explain better.

So is there any magic way to get the $175 for my XB1 via the Switch promo without a Switch being in stock? Is there a bundle that can be preordered still in store that will trigger the bonus?

Thanks

 

[Alexpguy]

Can you have negative pur points? i.e. you buy a game, use those points to buy a coupon, then return the game.

previous answers in the tread have been no.

Yes.

I think I saw Best Buy is doing a b2g1 on used games sale might be useful to those of us who moved credit and want to bring it back. There's already tons of positive trades looks like you could make a killing.

 

[Cnstntidnty]

^Unfortunately, alot of the used games are typically not available in store.
Or my store at least, I could be wrong.

Worth a shot though.

Even with price adjusted TIVs you'd probably still be just fine. The b2g1 typically applies online too.

 

[josekortez]

Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens for 360 is trading in for $13.75 right now, and I still have a couple of copies left over from when I bought nine of them in early January. What a time to be alive!

 

[chnandler_bong]

Probably so, but the games would not arrive before the stealth bump ends.

 

[NoOtherOptions]

Yeah but even before the stealth bump there was plenty of positive trades. When b2g1 kicks in the math changes a ton. Might not be worth it for actual cash out of pocket but if ya got the credit.

 

[zlatour]

Best buy's mobile site is the biggest piece of shit around. Whoever worked on that can straight up off imho

 

[Vigilante]

So there hasn't been any confirmation on what gets the preorder bonus starting tomorrow, other than Persona 5?

Lol does it really matter? It's all being returned... Am I right?!

 

[Vigilante]

I'd rather the promo apply to something not releasing this week (e.g., Prey) in case I find more to trade in for the bonus before the game's release.

 

[AndyD33]

If that's just the same price as you'd get with the generic $25 bonus towards "new systems", you might be able to just buy a $300 PS4 slim or something, don't open it, and return it when a switch comes in stock, or for store credit to then use to order a Switch online.

I have two XB1's I wanted to get rid of. I wanted to trade one in towards hopefully a Switch bundle preorder for $175 and than go back and trade the second one one towards the same preorder a day or two later for another $175. At least that's how I was hoping it would work out.

 

[GamerDude316]

This stealth bump worked out really nicely for me with Target clearance, made a nice profit literally just walking some games next door since they're in the same plaza for me.

so you guys think i should wait to trade in or just do it now?

 

[Vigilante]

If you do it now, you have to buy KH 1.5+2.5 HD or MLB The Show 17, but if you wait until tomorrow, you can put $5 down on Persona 5 (or whatever else qualifies) and do whatever with that preorder later.

You have to pay off the full amount when you order the Switch bundle.
Did it last week.

 

[Cnstntidnty]

^And maybe they'll let you trade both for 350 towards the bundle. Since it cost more.
Pretty sure people have done it before.

I was told at my local store that there were no bundles to preorder that they had to have a Switch in stock to trigger the $175 TIV.

 

[ajh2298]

Does anybody know what would happen if I trade in a phat 500 go XB1 and a phat PS4 towards a PS4 Pro? Would I get the bonus $25 on each system or just one of them?

Thanks

The bonus will only apply to one so you'll have to get an override for the second. A good employee will adjust it for you or let you return the system immediately and do the the bonus again.

 

[Confidance]

I keep a preorder mule available for such deals.

Example:

I still have a KH 1.5/2.5 preordered in my local store. You can still deposit on that game i.e. layaway as long as you preordered the title before release. I trade, add a couple bucks to my preorder, still wont pick it up, still receive the bonus
