Traded AC:B for base $20 at GameStop
Traded in BlOps for $39 on Amazon

Used the GameStop.com $15 glitch (2save15+ CAG16 + PUR) and rebought BlOps and Kinect Dance Central for $50 wiping out the GS credit.

Will trade Dance Central for $32 on Amazon.

Kind of a lot of work to net just $18 Amazon credit. I do like the free high end batteries you get with the PUR points, they work great in my Prestige RC XD car.
 
I just called and asked how much you get for a ds lite and it's no where close to $25. I's around $45. I think that Gamestop you sell games at is ripping you off badly. Anyways trading in alot of M V C 3.
 
Hmm I usually don't trade in my games into gamestop but looks I'll be trading in Black Ops,Need For Speed:Hot Pursuit and Castlevania:Lords Of Shadows. With the $90 I'll buy Killzone 3 and Pokemon Black. I'm sure those game I'm going to trade will be $20 around summer.

halo reach $16

49.xx after bonus and edge

Base values from today:

:ps3: Dead Space 2 $23
:ps3: Sports Champions $4
:ps3: Move Controller $26 (traded in 2)
:ps3: Nav Controller $12

$113.60 after Power Up and promo (for the games). Sucks Sports Champions is so low, but I was getting rid of the rest of my Move stuff, so oh well. At least I paid off MvC 3 with a lot left over.
 
Traded in Black ops and got $40 after all the promos, then went online bought a used copy of Black ops and time crisis razing storm stacked the 3 coupons saver, cag16, 15off plus edge card and paid $45.86 for both. Wasnt planning on buying black ops back but I figured why not, it was only 5 bucks the way I look at it since I planned on getting time crisis anyhow.
 
Just traded these in:
Nintendo Ds
Advance Ware: Days of ruin $4
Bleach: The Blade of Fate $4
Worms 2: Open Warfare $2.4
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin $8.00
 
[quote name='ApeOverlord007']:ds: Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt - 5.00(8.00)

[/QUOTE]

You sure it's not just Metroid Prime Hunters? That's the full game. Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt was a demo that came prepacked with the DS back in early units. Unless you traded that in and the employee gave you the credit for the full game...
 
[quote name='Abeja']Did GS catch on to the 2save15 glitch? The code doesnt work anymore for me.[/QUOTE]

I just tried too, didn't work for me either.

That could explain the $1 drop, but I dunno. I was expecting a refusal but figured what the hey.

Yep, it's actually worth trying to sell your demos as the real deal. I actually managed to trade a Final Fantasy XII demo disc and they gave me full credit like if it was the full game. I also traded in the Phantom Brave art disc back in 09, and was gotten credit like it were Phantom Brave PS2... wierd.

It's definitely YMMV, and you'll feel very very icky if done intentionally. ;)

It should not be attempted intentionally. While the GS employee should be checking to ensure it is the correct disc, people can lose their jobs over stuff like that. When I was 14 or so I traded in a copy of Mario Party 4. Months later I went to play Harry Potter Quiditch World Cup and found MP4 instead. I must have accidentally put HP in the Mario Party case. Either way, I felt pretty bad about the situation, but at that point there really wasn't anything I could do.

Definitely better as a second thought.

Gotta say, trading in a demo for an actual game, regardless of quality, is awesome. I managed to get Resistance by trading just the demo.

it also helps that the gamestop employee knows me quite well... yet not enough to give me my Marvel early :(

Why are people so lazy now days? A little research and here is what you could of gotten one ebay. (SEE BELOW) You had a couple rare games worth 30+ and 1 worth nearly 50. 238 could of been turned into around 428 not including the scrap games you could of traded into gamestop and netted 10 bucks on. So lets say net sales is 428 minus a pack of bubble mailers from sams at a cost of 6 bucks for 25. Everything ships First Class mail at a cost of 1.50. Your paypal fees equal 12 bucks and your ebay fees equal about 42. Net profit = $368 (pure cash) vs $238 (gamestop credit) or roughly 54% more. The other idea here is your gaining liquid cash vs a gamestop credit. Its just bad business to dump stuff at gamestop.

This is not a topic to try to judge others decisions. You can sell on ebay all you want, he went with gamestop and did fine himself. Convenience is more important than all of the hassle selling things on ebay. It would take MONTHS for all that to sell at those totals and collect all the funds and prices can drop instantly as the market fluctuates. I know, I used to do it. Find an ebay topic and go post this there....still cannot believe someone would go through all the work just to criticize....

I second this, I have posted Trade a few times and always get the you could of sold on Ebay for more or the "I would of bought that for more which never happens... I got tired of Ebay fees,Etc.. and then sometimes waiting forever for payments, also CAG is not to good of a source anymore because people seem to think if a game is posted found at another store for $5 thats what there going to pay for it from you..
Craigslist is another route tossed around but that is very risky. Either way dont come down on others for what they decide to do, you do your thing let others do what they want !!!

Ya I think gamestop is garbage. I could setup a 5 day listing for every single one of these games and have that entire collection gone within 1 week not MONTHS. Isn't it great that you now know "My Japanese Coach" is worth $50 vs the $7 trade in credit?
 
What happened to all my very relevant knowledge based on that trade in list above?

My Japanese Coach worth 50
Emerald worth 22
Platinum worth 25
SoulSilver worth 25

I normally don't do this but I have to agree with Halo3Champ. I understand the convenience factor of GS for many of the titles listed and we all appreciate you contributing to this thread, but it hurts to see GS ripping people off this bad in situations like this. A quick search of completed eBay listings shows that even after deducting selling/paypal fees, and any shipping charge, a person could easily net $50 total for these 2 games as opposed to the $17.60 trade credit they gave you (assuming promo/edge). Forget 50-60% bonus. Hell, I could have offered you double the base TIV, pay all shipping, paypal, and ebay fees (if you choose to list it through eBay through a cheap "Buy it Now") and still profited $20 by reselling just those 2 titles. What is done is done, but to anyone out there that is going to just give good games away for low values just for convenience please actually weigh out the cost/benefit of other options.

It looks like there was about 26 games with decent value and 8 "junk" games leading to the following totals:

$148.74 (base)
$223.11 (Promo)
$237.98 (Promo/edge)

Either way, looks like you will have a nice amount of credit to burn at GS.

For the record, I would have personally offered about $300 for all that stuff and we would have both came out decent.

While I have only been on CAG for about a year and a half, I have a very solid history of of occasionally buying and selling on eBay for over 12 years. If you want better prices then GS (and I am not talking about a couple dollars over base TIV like others have offered), but are concerned with risks of selling online, send me a private message and maybe we can work something out. The more games you have to get rid of at once the better. Note: I am pretty good at detecting/preventing a scam, so don't bother contacting me if your goal is to steal.

Seriously, stop with the Ebay & Craigslist crap. Some of us don't give a crap, if we didn't we wouldn't be posting here in this thread and trading at GS. You want to sell elsewhere, by all means.. but stop telling others what to do. It got old years ago.

Assuming we've played the games we bought, any trade-in at all is gravy to me. Sometimes I sell my games outright if it has value, but honestly that value had diminished for the most part these days as games go on sale at huge discounts so quickly, where you could sell a big new release for $40 3 weeks after you bought it, it's usually on Amazon for that price at some point... it's just easier to find a good promo at GS and get $30-35 in credit.

It's easy, and I don't have to mail it, hope it doesn't get lost, someone doesn't rip me off, whatever.
