So, there's a trade bump today? I wanna know before I leave. Thanks

 

[Bobby's World]

Anyone have any decent trades lined up?

I've got the following going back in:

• 3 Xbox 360 Slim AC Adapters - OEM units, of course
• 2 Play and Charge Cables
• Xbox 360 VGA Cable
• 2 Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection (PS3)
• A few random PS4 games that I've beaten recently.

Finished Mad Max (PS4) last night. Personally, it's my sleeper hit of the generation. Maybe that'll go back, too.

Did all those get a bump or are you just traded them in?

AFAIK, Sonic Ultimate Genesis is the only one on my list that has the bump. The remainder is stuff I have laying around and just want to trade back in.

You can't deny the value on the 360 Slim AC Adapters, though.

I really need to get 2-3 of these, dirt cheap and you get more than double then what you pay for them.

Jesus Christ.

Xbox One AC adapters yield some nice results, too. Just space out your trades and use a bit of discretion.

Didn't notice that, i'm pretty new to flipping, so i'm barely getting in to the groove, but seems like a good thing to do.

Although I'm a little bummed about being on the trade limit exceeded list, I came across an empty Black Ops Combo pack 360 case at home last night.  I smiled, real ing big.

 
Hopefully only one more month to go.

 

[Haloman 27]

So if I were to trade in Xbox 360 and One adapters to GameStop, would I need to buy OEM or can third-party work? And where is the best place to buy them?

OEM please.

So are we confirmed then? That Sonic Ultimate Genesis trade-in was a bust. It's not going above $4.40 for Pro Members online.

Uh...for the TiV to show up, you're going to need to walk in the store and get the thing scanned to realize the trade values if Darby is correct. And he typically is.

Isn't it a bump in-store? App/online won't reflect the actual values

Gotcha.

Thank you.

Can anyone confirm the bump?

Thank you.

 

[2014CAGnewbie]

Gotcha.

Thank you.

Thank you.

No bump currently

I went in to the store. Still $4.40 with PUR

 

[acthechamp]

It has been almost 2 hours since that response lol.

 

[HyperG]

Wonder if the start date just wasn't right for when they should be active. Not going to bother until I see others confirm. Would like to know if Animal Crossing New Leaf is $20 in store trade in.

 

[Bobby's World]

Gotcha.
Thank you.

Can anyone confirm the bump?

Thank you.

Can you go check for me? I don't want to waste my time or gas for a $7 profit

Thank you

 

[sovereignNX-73811]

I'm going to try to flip one of my copies of NFS Vita and see how that goes. Will report back in about two hours because I have work to do in between. Yay work.

 

[YellowGameboyColor]

So no one will do any trades hmm

 

[acthechamp]

Just checked 15 mins ago. No games ring up as the promo price yet. Did just get an email though...

 

[AndyD33]

Sorry about the wait. Employess get early access today, 9/30. Promotion officially starts 10/2. If it's like the last 2 "Most Wanted Titles" trade promo, then these should be the base values (before PUR Pro 10% boost). I can't remember the end date, but I think it's good until 10/4.

Any ideas why it's not ringing up?

You're not ban anymore at Gamestop?

 

[krishna_malladi]

i feel sorry for the guy who bought 8 Sonics to boomerang back to GS.

 

[HyperG]

Any ideas why it's not ringing up?

Has anyone from the West Coast tried?

 

[YawnAmuroYawn]

In nyc just tried nothing rang up at bonus price.

 

[ariel.rosales3]

In MD, I tried an hour ago (around 12:30 EST) and no bonus price came up.

 

[Kevlar338]

No go on the bump , tried sonic and gears only base value .

 

[sovereignNX-73811]

Don't tell me someone came up with that list to troll us...

 

[krishna_malladi]

GS wanted to get rid of all the sonic games without just giving them away...everything else was just red herring, Sonic was the master plan

 

[Bizarrosfne]

Someone said they got an email, so its probably legit.

Anyone know if getting cash will work for the values? Obviously -20% and +10% for PUR. Would like to trade in OOT for $30 cash. My guess is if the values go up then yes, but if its a boost it might be credit only.

Don't even bother; GS never boosts cash values. Ironically I've heard from staff that a lot of people come in during the trade bumps and take the cash anyway. Big LOLs on them.

I am the Eggman, that's what I am, I am the Eggman with the master plan...

Oh come on that was a good theme from Sonic Adventure 2!

 

[lildirtygamer]

In Albuquerque, not able to make to a store though. I called one and confirmed that Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection hasn't received the trade bump. From what I've seen when GS does a weekend trade bump the system is updated fairly early the day it starts. It seems a bit curious that the 4 for $20 sale and a trade bump would overlap. I wonder if the poster of the trade bump list got the dates mixed up... Just a stray thought.

[ilikecheese9000]

Got a stack to transfer credit from Hastings. Called and no bump in trade value. Hopefully there is one tomorrow otherwise I'm facing a very awkward return situation

 

[lusal]

We're in a bit of a pickle here! Who will save us! There is no god!

How could you do this to us, GameStop? How?!?! Why?!?!

 

[Kevlar338]

No go on the bump , tried sonic and gears only base value .

Funny I just got the email saying have xx games worth xx $ , apparently not . The email does say promotional values good through 10/4 so it's definitely real , maybe it will go live tomorrow.

 

[HyperG]

It'll just trade in Sonic even without the bump, or I will just return all 4 games, not really needing them at the moment.

 

[sovereignNX-73811]

Well...I guess hard work pays off...at...work, lol. Guess I won't be heading out to GS to trade today after all. 

 

[no658ea3]

Lol, GameStop.

The email I got listed cash values.

 

[Rick4Life]

Yea, it's just a cash value email. Doesn't say anything about inflated credit values.

Not only that... but the list wasn't that impressive was it? Like... really... not impressive.

 

[irishsoccermbw]

Yea, it's just a cash value email. Doesn't say anything about inflated credit values.

Not only that... but the list wasn't that impressive was it? Like... really... not impressive.

My email states:

M., YOU HAVE 21 GAMES
WORTH $365.00
Promotional values guaranteed through 10/04/15.

 

[sovereignNX-73811]

Yeah sadly I just got the email that said:

A.,YOU HAVE 20 GAMES
WORTH $316.00 IN REAL CASH MONEY! 
Promotional values guaranteed through 10/04/15.

In case you're wondering, the A stands for A-Hole. GS loooooves me to death eh?

 

[Bizarrosfne]

Mine was 29 games worth 745.00 credit. Wonder why some got cash and some got credit ones.

I got a big stack of stuff from Goodwill for $46 so I'm just trying to recoop that but otherwise I would be fine with credit.

 

[sikemike]

Are the values supposed to change tomorrow?

 

[GamerDude316]

25 games worth $427 credit for me.

 

[HyperG]

25 games worth $427 credit for me.

It is too bad it only shows 4 of the 8 games mentioned in my email. And all 4 of those are ones I am going to keep anyways.
