So I called back that GS and now he put the item on hold for me, despite it supposedly being on hold for someone else three hours ago. Yet he says he can't ship it to a closer store because they just did an inventory and can't ship things for a week? Are they just BSing me? Sounds very shady

How about you just go buy the damn game instead of constantly bitching. Also weren't you just whining about the hold concept...yet now you have the game on hold?

I've done it once for a Vita game. There seems to be a convoluted rulebook behind it, mostly fueled by both stores' desires to do it. I think as long as it is a smaller item and maybe not a store's last copy of a popular item, AND the store you are dealing with is friendly to you, then maybe you'll have success.

Could very well be the case

I've never had an issue doing it but I've never dealt with this store before

1. It's not a game
2. It's 70 miles away and wouldn't be worth it with gas
3. He put it on hold for me as consolation for not shipping it, I didn't ask
4. Learn the definition of bitching

Why is it that I got Splinter Cell Conviction :360: for a dollar used the other day? I see that it is still listed as $4.96 . That game doesn't get a good TIV anyways but the prices from the website may not be reflecting in store pricing.

All of the $4.96-priced games are cheaper than that in-store.

Prices ending in 6 usually have a different in-store price.

Edit Vig beat me to it.

This may have already been mentioned but there is a page showing $25 extra trade credit towards Pokémon products. It seems like an incredible trade-in deal from what I can tell, so I must be missing something. There are games on the list that trade in for less than $25 so you would be more than doubling your trade value in a lot of cases. Obviously, you're limited on what you can buy (supposedly), but they do list iTunes and Google Play GC's. Specifically, my son was interested in trading in Pokémon X for a newer Pokémon game and this looks like it would make the new game free if the base trade value holds up.

Thanks for posting this link, but is there a list of eligible games or can anything get a 25% bump towards the Google Play cards? I could give a damn about Pokemon Go, but I could use a few more games on my Shield TV.

Sorry. Just saw the list.

Yes $4.96 is the web price only and since I pull the prices from the web there's nothing can do about them. Just as people have said before $4.96 is usually $0.99-$3.99 in store.

Why so butthurt? Parents won't let you use the car until you clean the basement and finish your social disorder classes? Don't worry...the item will show up at your local gamestop one day. You can get your middle aged 'friend' to bring you but only if you do him a favor.

Well between the pokemon promo and the 15% off, if you can find a store with 3 copies of pokemon platinum and trade it toward something on the pokemon list, you will make $1.26 per copy. That's the only positive boomerang, and pretty much useless because you can't trade in multiple copies of the same game at once. Unless you want to make 3 purchase-returns.

 
Anyone else notice a small uptick of spelling mistakes on Gamestop.com

REally? Wow. That's not too bad actually. The trade in value is fixed so no worry about it dropping. I can trade in (for example) 10 different eligible games for $25 each towards a $10 Google Play card if I understand the promo right. And get $240 trade credit and the $10 card. Am I missing something? I hope not.

You guys still go to school?

I thought this thread was for doubtful-aged people whose lives revolve around them fliparoonies to sustain our ever-growing families and expensive hobbies, cuz remember:

eat the flip
be the flip
flip the flip

I remember reading in one of the posts here that if something ends in a 6 online for example 4.96 it can be cheaper in store? Is that true if so there is a 360 game ive wanted to play for a long time might go see how much it is in store.

You can see in store price by going through putting an online hold. When you are at the hold screen where it asks for your info and such you will see 2 price points. One is the online price and the other will be the in store price. Most of the time a game selling for $4.96 has a different price in store.
 
Well, my local Gamestop have gotten rid of their Amazon gift cards. Good friend there said corporate caught on to the trade in credit used for gift cards but said the main reason is theft. People would steal games and trade them in than use that credit to buy gas cards and the like. I'm sure there are many reasons to not allow TIC on gift cards though. Surprised it didn't go a long time ago actually.

Either way, I'll miss trading in $1k worth of games and immediately getting Amazon credit. Guess I can still do that and buy games directly from Gamestop... but damn full price games, how I hate thee though!

Can someone confirmed this? I do have a few games that are part of the 25 trade in credit list. But as I read the terms, it looks like it saids one trade in game toward one pokemon product.
