Granted, people here were saying that too.

Glad I sat on that 6$ copy of black ops 2 for wii u from Best Buy , 19.20$ not too bad . I just saw it's 11$ base for an X1 charging dock , 17.60 with the bonus is surprisingly good . I have a Nyko one and despite my 360 dock being great the X1 version is a pain to get it to stay charging. I have like a 100 AA batteries anyway , might as well use them for something.

 

[Bizarrosfne]

Traded in some scraps I found cleaning my room and got around $160. Still have to go back and trade a few things and possibly a 360 power brick I have but I can't find the cable that attaches to it. I picked up the HyperX Cloudcore headset for my Xbox which is pretty nice. Used the $15 off coupon so it was $55.

 

[amusedtoe]

Nope. It's a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter cable.

Only by themselves adapters came with it. The one that comes with the stereo headset didn't.

Oh OK. I gave them the little USB cable that came with mine and they took it.

Don't forget to donate to St. Jude's! Dude was like "whoa, you actually wanna donate?" LOL. I tried doing a custom amount ($25), but looks like $16 ($10 + $5 + $1) is the max that they can take

Did that give the extra 10%? I forgot about that.

I skip that prompt for most people. They get confused and don't know what to do.

Did not stack with the 50% unfortunately

 

[shadowneko003]

This seems like the best thread to ask this question.  Does GS take manufacturer coupons in store?

 

[jvang117]

I skip that prompt for most people. They get confused and don't know what to do.

I expect no less from GS lmao

 

[no658ea3]

Plus they feel guilty and apologize if they say no.

One guy got mad at me for asking. Like dude, I'm not running the damn charity. 

Another guy got mad a me for skipping the prompt, like "Of course I want to donate, who do you think I am?"

You can never win with customers

 

[Deader2818]

Yeah people get mad like gamestop is some how taking the money.

[chuckywang]

I forget ... do you have to include a usb cable when trading in a controller?

 

[jvang117]

Nope!

 

[butth0lez]

Yeah likely lol. I don't personally care. Im sure anyone trading in that much knows they will get hit with a trade ban.

I've got 5 accounts and 10 GameStop near by.

Good thing I didn't give any money to kids.

So Monday the 100 percent trade value thing is working too?

 

[chuckywang]

So Monday the 100 percent trade value thing is working too?

What is this deal?

 

[endlessirony]

I know this is a super noob question but does gamestop have a monthly/yearly limit on the amount of a game you can trade in per platform? 

 

[acthechamp]

They ban you after you do 4 of the same game on the same platform in a span of 30 days.

 

[bullsharks]

Rumor has it 4 or 5 is the monthly limit, I think it's 5 myself.

 

[Electroplasm]

Yes. They might hit you with a refurb fee, but I traded my original DS4 that was like that and got the full value. It's just depends on who takes it at the counter, but they'll take it.

I have a white one in pretty good condition but my o.g. black has the r2 trigger hanging off due to the shoddy initial construction. Will they take that? Id be willing to take anything for it at this point.

 

[endlessirony]

They ban you after you do 4 of the same game on the same platform in a span of 30 days.

Would doing it at multiple stores make it less likely? Is the ban almost for sure, or is it only some people?

 

[Electroplasm]

PSA: Don't forget to get the trade back card for trading on Tuesday if need it be. This is what the card looks like if the employees at your store are clueless:

Front:

Back: (Blacked out part is a barcode with EBC code underneath the barcode).

Not sure i understand. Do i need an email like this to show them so i can get $45 for my dualshock4? Or do i just bring the controller and it will ring up automatically?

Or are they supposed to give you this in store when you do your trade in?

 

[chrome3333]

If you want to flip from BB sport titles, 3DS games and Wii U games are some of the better ones.

 

[Liquid Metal]

I guess I'm done with eBay GCs. Got that error code that makes you call in order to have your account restored.

Is this on gs or ebay?

 

[ray2dee]

Good looking out I'm going to trade in my Xbox controller and get the Gamestop white one on Friday

 

[Geco17]

eBay

 

[Rick4Life]

Yes, some flips were better than others, but together, they add up. I used my profit to finally get a PS3 (the 160 GB Slim that's on sale for $100) and was able to cash out the rest on Gas Cards.

You left out tax on your purchases from BB.

 

[dennisb407]

TIV for BLOPS3?

 

[Nephilim_BC]

My account for banned Lmao. Cashier called for me to see why she couldnt access my account and the person on the phone told her that I just use it. She asked why and they said I just violated terms. They wouldn't tell her exactly what I did so I'm calling them now. I know what it is tho, I used a lot of coupons earlier this month. Totally worth it

What did you do...trade it the same title more than 3 times or something?

 

[srac84]

im doing that too

 

[Nephilim_BC]

used a bunch of coupons I got from someone else.

gamestop has some ignorant reps, im on the phone now and the lady told me "dont worry about it" when I asked why my account was under investigation. her exact words lol. I told her to put her supervisor on the phone.

 

[tearsintherain]

yeah, how dare they stop you from defrauding them

I'll never understand this. Spend the 15 bucks and make a new account.

Last time I tried that, they collected my Driver's License info and somehow linked my old out of state driver's license and old phone #.

If that's the case have a friend/family member/gigolo/significant other sign up for a card and use that. I give them my gf's phone number all the time when I'm trading excess copies of a game/power adapter.

 

[Nephilim_BC]

I had just made an account like a month ago. im not paying for another when they are being ignorant/rude. Also, like I stated I can still use coupons without an account if I ever get more

 

[Nephilim_BC]

if you shop there alot then thats on you but its definitely not worth that trouble for us who dont go there often.

The problem is that even with a new account, the system will track any DL# anytime a store requires an ID. From there, they will link banned accounts together.

 

[irishsoccermbw]

But it is worth the time to fight GS both in store and over the phone? Also, are you the same person who was buying PUR coupons on ebay? If so that solves the mystery.

 

[Kotor15]

Drive to Gamestop headquarters. Wait it's in Texas? Nevermind, not worth it.....

 

[Nephilim_BC]

ive never bought anything from ebay so no. and I wasnt planning to fight with them, I just wanted to hear an answer. The cashier was the one that was curious to why she couldnt use my account. I got off with them and they said I can go back and get a refund from my membership lol

edit: ironically I live in Texas

 

[Electroplasm]

Did the $45 tiv for dualshock4 hold? I think stores are open on the east and are about to open on the west coast

Yes. Surprisingly.

Anybody know of a way to convert GS credit to something I could pay my Verizon bill with? Even with a bunch of steps in between, like GS -> Ebay -> Paypal -> VZW GC...
