just wanted to know how everyone is makin double their $ from gs but everyone has to be a cum guzzling cock swalloing fgt on here. dumb ass blk beard keep posting ur spread sheet when i tell u idk what any of tht shit means

You are not going to get much help now by insulting blackbeard.

 

[Donut2922]

Hahah thread of the day and the day is just getting started.

 

[handsomepete]

somebody told me they were talking about cock swalloing in here so I thought I'd come check it out.  what's going on guys

 

[z24buddy]

I am going to break it down in the interest of minimizing stupid questions continuing to clutter the thread.

 

1. Use and understand the spreadsheet, and know it can change daily

2. Never bite the hand that feeds (that means quit attacking blackbeard you lurking tools)

3. There is no awesome flip/boomerang at GS at the moment. That one day deal died yesterday so it doesn't matter what the deal was.

4. Keep yours eyes open, as you never know when the next trade bonus, GS math fail glitch, or TIV weekend bump will happen.

 

Definitions for the truly retarded:

GS - GameStop

flip - buying item cheap at one store and selling for more to another store

boomerang - buying item cheap at one store and selling for more to another store of the same retailer

TIV - trade in value

sarcasm - Example: When someone lazy asks "What are the good flipz pleeze?" and someone responds with the crappiest deals they can find such as telling them to trade high value games like Mario Kart 8 and Left4Dead2 when the TIV was less than $2 each

Maybe someone can finally update the first post with this info so the same questions don't get asked over and over again. Who is allowed to make a new thread anyway?

There is a FAQ on the first post if you are confused on how trading in games work.

If you can't read a spreadsheet, then I don't think anyone here can help you. You might need to find a 3rd grade math teacher to help you learn subtraction and multiplication in a way that you can understand.

 

[Miami Flash15]

This is better than the whole flipping opportunity itself.

 

[blackbeard4886]

Before I get too much into figuring out the code, I believe I found a way to compare GS, BB, and now Amazon TIV all in one query. My question is though how many of you trade games into Amzaon? Would it be worth my time trying to get it to work for all of you? Thanks for your input in advance. 

EDIT: Also how many of you care about BB preowned prices being on the sheet. I find usually all the normal flips for those are never in stock anyway.

 

[Kotor15]

oh thx for clearing that up ...idiot

I'm giving you a citation for being ing stupid without a license and another for just being cancer. Court date is October 22nd because Battlefield 1 comes out on the 21st and I gotta play that shit day one.

Great idea. Too bad that when it is put into execution, people still don't bother looking at the OP.

The only reason I don't trade into Amazon is because I'm too lazy to compare values there too. I'm sure if you added the feature then I would start

Edit: looking at the posts below, I don't think it is worth the effort if trading in is that much of a hassle.

For BB preowned it is so hit or miss that I honestly don't look at those flips anymore.

 

[butth0lez]

amazon trade in is dead to me, they reject things for no reason and take a month to send it back and by then its worthless. it may be valuable to include for when something is high enough to take the risk, but every day trading i dont think its all that great.

preowned best buy isnt important to me either since like you said its never in stock and my local best buy has nothing worthwhile in the used section.

I trade into amazon. But its literally once or twice a month when a helpful cag provides the gs to amazon flip on the thread.

Amazon trade in system is dead, there are more and more rejections and for all the bull shit reasons. I'd stay the away from Amazon.

Brick & Mortar has its advantages, imagine arguing with Amazon on why the disc is scratched to hell when it was pristine when you sent it.

Amazon would be amazing.

I dont used the BB used prices because I can never find the games I need.

I am not sure if Amazon would be worth it, as much as I would like it. If you follow the Amazon thread, nearly all the flips are older games. Also once posted, the allotted amount of trade ins goes quickly.

The BB preowned prices seem useless unless there is a b1g1 or some similar promo going on.

Good point.

Got S4: Destiny yesterday to boomerang for a very small profit but mostly wanted to rack up PUR points since I wasn't losing anything. The guy swapped it under the counter for a used Taken King copy, the 30 day PSN trial was used but the Taken King DLC wasn't! Now I just got to buy back Destiny today for $5 using the free credit from yesterday lol.

This got lost in the shuffle. Unless you get the ROI DLC, you will feel left out.

 

[inkcil]

I wonder if the $50 off xb1 coupon was sent to those who have t GS credit card. A GS associate told me the credit card decision was responsible for this promotion. I would call them about the coupon but I don't want a GS credit card nor do I want to hear the sales pitch.

Personally I wouldn't care about Amazon TIVs since you have to send it to them and deal with them possibly scratching it and sending it back for no reason, at that point you might as well sell them on eBay. As for Best Buy preowned, I find that the website is always wrong for preowned game stock (says they have a game when they don't, says no stores have it when they actually do, etc.), so I never bother with Best Buy preowned games. Plus if you get them online it's a pain to return them since preowned games come shrinkwrapped.

This is how all the best stories start! Please continue.

[ganonzard]

Amazon TIVs would be great but jq finds some good values for cags in the Amazon thread. The spreadsheet would help but the values would die so quickly and change so fast idk

[blackbeard4886]

Well it seems Amazon trade in values are not very helpful to you guys, I see your points, but what about Amazon prices (PM at other stores)? I know they can change at any minute throughout the day but I figure at least a snapshot can give you an idea what it will be around. I have been optimizing the BB/GS query so it takes a lot less time to do (~2hrs down to ~20 minutes) maybe I can update that tab multiple times a day to compensate for Amazon price changes.

I'd definitely get some use out of that.

That would be useful even if you only do it once a day.

 

[Hoping]

Not sure what all the fuss is about. Now the flip during last summer with the 50% receipt coupons were nuts. $75 for pikmin 3 and $60 for plenty of other games let everyone make out with several thousands.

Even if you did 4x of yesterday's glitch it was around $150 profit. It's not pennies on the dollar but there's so much trolling and name calling over a small amount.

I don't think so. Both me and my wife have 2 separate PUR Pro accounts and we each have had the credit card since the early days of it's release, and neither one of us got the coupon.

Also, my account has an Xbox One S purchase tied to it, but hers does not, so that doesn't seem to make a difference either.

My PUR account has a little over 500,000 points lifetime and I probably use it in some way once a week, whereas hers still has under 100,000, but probably hasn't been used in 2 or 3 months, so I don't think it has to do with purchase frequency or volume, either.

I can't think of any other reason why some got the coupon and some didn't other than it just being completely random.

I have a credit card and I didn't get one so null on that theory.

As others have commented BB preowned price are only good when there is a buy some get some deal. I think Amazon would be a good addition, seeing as getting Amazon gift cards is no longer an option.

[dorkyden]

AMZ is useless since their prices move so fast and frequently

BB used games are only good once in a while during B_G_ sales. but personally it's a pain to find something to pair up when they usually limit 1 of each per transaction

unless you have tons of time to kill i think maintaining the BB GS TIV/flip would be the most efficient use of your time. 

 

[shrike4242]

Ditto. No GS GC, did get the coupon.

 

[Confidance]

GS Credit card and Pro for over 10 years, no coupon

I would definitely use the Amazon prices even if it were once a day. I don't think trade ins would be as useful since they die so quickly on Amazon now and you'd to wade through a lot of paltry trade in values.

I haven't gotten the coupon either and have no GS CC, nor have I preordered the Gears bundle for what it's worth.
