Does the bonus $5 generic coupon Blackbeard posted still work? Does it stack with the 60% bonus?

Sorry if this the millionth time it's been asked, haven't seen mention of it in a few pages. Thanks.

Yes and yes.

A week from now, target will have a b2g1 free sale. You could go get two games you want and a copy of the black ops triple as your free game and then take it to gs for the trade in. You'll have to take your receipt back the following sunday for the price adjustment. Just an idea.

The TIV for a Nintendo 64 right now is $30 , so if i preorder a screen protector for the switch does that means that I will get $45 for the N64 with the extra 50%? And even if I preorder that only thing will I get 50% if I trade let's say 10 or 20 more things ?

No. For one it works on games and accessories only for two a few people have said that retro games/systems more often then not do not qualify for extra percentage offers for whatever reason.

As for your second question. Just put 5 dollars down on Zelda for switch and you will get the 50 percent bonus on and games and accessories traded. Just remember if its retro games thought that some of them get bonus and others dont. Seems very hit or miss.

 

[Liquid Metal]

If anyone is thinking about trading in retro titles for the boost, it doesn't apply to them.

I however, will gladly offer you a boost if you have anything. Hit me up via pm.

Was waiting to trade and guy in front of me traded in about 10 Xbox One games straight up - no bonus, no PUR, nada. I cringed. Lost out on at least $50-60 easily.
I don't get people.

Unaware people miss out on so much in life.

 

[TuscaloosaJohnny]

Bring on the GS to B.B. Flips. I got too much credit.

If you want to maximize your money right now, snag some B2G1 retro games on GS and head to eBay.

Any certain games that work the best? Their prices are pretty high!

Yeah, they mostly seem to price their retro games based on the eBay selling price, but when you combine 10 percent off with B2G1 and your cheaply earned credit this is a great way to convert your credit into cash. Most games will work, though I mostly stick to cartridges because their disc game prices seem more closely aligned with complete game prices but you're probably just getting the disc.

 

[mchittumjr]

Any cheap accessories trigger the extra 40% TIV?

 

[NoOtherOptions]

X com 2 is 24 with GCU right now and trades for 19.25 pre bump for anyone moving more credit besides the handsome collection. Hoping Blackbeard updates the list today for GS to BB movers then take those ish back to GS.

Read the thread man This has been discussed to death. 1. It's 50% 2. Yes the Joy con strap is 8 bucks so is the protect kit. 3. All you need is 5 down so it could be those items or a game literally doesn't matter.

looking at the prices for used games at gamestop, its going to be hard to find anything worthwhile without a buy 2 get 1 free coupon. their prices are so bad, and not much is on sale right now.

Thanks, now if only the dumb GS app would let my order go through I'd be set!

Yeah I tried to do some math and can't get much. It takes a few days to get a fresh b2g1 on a new PUR account right? Debating signing my gf up. But would need to be a good move.

Excellent.

Out of curiosity, do those of you in this thread have another way of converting your hundreds of dollars in credits to cash, or do you just eventually end up spending it on games to play?

INteresting. But no way to test the stuff to make sure it works before I sell it on Ebay. And I know from past experiences with buying from GS online that you get a lot of shoddy merchandise.

Still might dip my toes in the water.

 

[Nightcrawler13]

I bought a boat last year with all my GS credit I saved up

 

[bostonfrontier]

So apparently Texas now charges tax on trade in credit use.... this happened to me yesterday when I went and traded in a few games and put money towards some preorders.

Sucks.... government always ruining things

The gray strapon, not the red or blue or the infamous black one.

Honestly, what I usually do is make preorders to get the trade bonuses and actually pay off and keep the preordered games. I just usually have the games sold on eBay ahead of time so that when I pick them up on release day they go straight to the post office. A few bucks lost in the process on average, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to what the trade bonuses earn me.

Hrm if there's some close to even money movers might have to make this move mannn.

 

[blackbeard4886]

Wow still no good movers to BB still even with the 30%. Halo Wars 2 is the best with a $0.49 + tax loss.

I buy hard to find games from GameStop if they're in good condition and PSN, Steam and Xbox Live cards. I'm currently trying to buy up the rest of the PS3 games that I've been looking for while their prices are still cheap. I've also been buying lots of action figures at GameStop while the buy 1, get 1 half off on clearance collectibles sale has been going. I like the DC Essentials and Marvel Legends figures, but they are too rich for my blood otherwise. I lucked out and found a Greg Capullo Batman figure on the clearance shelf at GameStop last night.

Not sure why you thought there would be when BBs values are total shit and they just had a 50 percent bonus a few weeks ago and values werent that great then and this week its only a 30 percent boost soooo not sure what you were expecting

Just optimistic thinking that there might be just one good expensive mover to BB.

yeah, i knew when i saw it was a 30 bump and not 50 that the chances of it happening were basically zero, but oh well, gamestop has been a godsend this weekend.

 

[blackbeard4886]

No reason for you guys to blow up over this ^ that's just the way Thespyder314 is, just has a blunt opinion is all.

 

[reaperztoll]

Yeah, usually we get at least one around ~$50 out of these deals. This is pretty barren even for BB.

Still Plenty of flips to GS actually.

 

[joshxx]

Does GameStop needs the cases or boxes for the games , the website says I don't need to have them and the TIV is the same, but what been your experience ?
