How much store credit do you have saved up for EB/Gamestop?

After my last batch of trades today I have $1027.77 left on my EB Edge card. I also have all of thses 360 games paid off in full.

Just Cause
Crack Down
Splinter Cell: DA CE
Call of Duty 3
Gears of War: CE

p.s.
I had it as high as $1850.00 but pre-ordering 360 games and the DVD sale wiped away alot of it.
 
[quote name='help1']I save dollars and paypal, ebgames prices = crap and flipping isnt for me.[/quote]

then why bother posting?...and so far ive actually made more credit then what i actually spent ...couldnt tell ya a number but after every trade i figure out how much i paid and etc. and i always seem to come out on top by a good amount ($30-$40)

anyway, i only have about $90 left...since i always end up getting a 360 game here and there plus i had to buy a 360 recently to replace the one i sent back to bestbuy

Good question.
 
If i added up all the trade-ins in the last, say two months i would prolly have around $1,800 in credit, but a ds lite a DS lit game,madden 07(psp,ps2) PSU, ff 12, 3 PS3 games and a few other things killed all of my credit.
 
$32.93

With FFXII:CE paid off and $5 down on GTA:VCS. I'm gonna start stock piling credit to chip away at the PS3. Hopefully I can get a third of the loaded system paid off by the time Guns of the Patriots releases.
 
After trades today, I have $756.44, with a number of games paid off or with deposits. Probably in the vicinity of $850 with all preorders accounted for.
 
Under $10 EBGS
Over $160 BBGameRush

I had around $80 on EB, but over the summer I found a few DVD sets (Samurai Jack season 2, and I can't remember the others) and a few DVDs that I'd been wanting for a while that I finally picked up and a bonus of a find, Seven Samurai Criterion Edition. For games, I picked up Teen Titans ps2 used, Broken Sword xbox used, Echo Night Beyond ps2 used, Dynasty Warriors E 360 and... a few others that I can't remember.

[quote name='xxxafibenderxxx']around 1000 dollars in trade-ins are ridiculous.[/QUOTE]Consider how much you'd have to spend to begin with to get that sort of credit. Especially at EB.

My $800 or so in EB credit is probably an out of pocket expense of around $300. Hooray for GameRush. Where I think I still have around $80 in available credit and a couple hundred tied up in preorders.
 
Uh let's see..

$80 on Guitar Hero 2
$40 on Okami (waiting until I can get my discount again before I pick it up)
$50 on Zelda
$50 on Trauma Center
$50 on Metal Slug Anthology
$60 on Final Fantasy XII CE
$30 on Final Fantasy XII LE Guide

and probably about $60 on Gears of War CE, and about $20 left on my card.

All gained through flipping games from the most recent trade promotion. So a total of over $440 for a maximum of $200 spent.

Sweet.
 
$847 - probabaly about $300 or so out of pocket thanks to $2 Kmart games and a run thru with the Kingdom Hearts 2 loophole one time.

wait...isn't GoW CE 70 dollars? or do you mean you have paid off 60 of the 70 dollars?

anyway i got GoW regular edition paid off 64.50 after tax, and have about 23 bucks left in credit
 
I have close to $200. I have bought a 360 last month and a DS Lite today with credit. I also have Gears Of War paid for.
 
$ 11.07

WTF do the EB guys say when they tell u whats left on the card.

Alright after that transaction you have.. HOLY SHIT .. 1000 dollars left on your card.
 
I have around $1000 in credit plus everything below in preorders (everything is paid off) and purchases. Probably paid 40% out of pocket, and none of this is done by flipping. All is done by buying used games for cheap from wholesalers.

2 DS Lites

Preorders:
Ps3 COD 3
Ps3 DMC 4
Ps3 NFS Carbone
Ps3 Sonic
Ps3 Tiger Woods 07
Ps3 Nba Live 07
Ps2 Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria
Ps2 Final Fantasy XII CE
Ps2 Slim Silver System
Ps2 Fifa 07
Ps2 Socom
Ps2 COD 3
 
DAMNNN, over 1000 dollars in trade in credit is crazy. Do you guys get that much through like the 3 for 10 deal?

oh yea, i have like 55 dollars in credit.
 
I wish I had an eb games and/or a gamestop near me. I have a lot of stuff I'd be willing to trade in...
 
Also, do you guys (guys with over $300 in credit) trade in like 200 games at one point? Or do you go in everyday and trade in 3 games? I'm just wondering because can an employee decline you if you brought in an assload of games and spent an hour going over the whole process. Once the question is answered, I will go to my ebgames and cause some trouble =)
 
I had maybe $500 store credit over the course of the summer but spent it all on DVDs and games. I meant to keep some to pay for a Wii but oh well. Spent my Gamerush store credit too. It just doesn't last that long. Ah well, it only cost me around $100 cash to build up $500 store credit thanks to garage sales and crappy $1.99 clearance games.

Mail it to me. I'll give you the whole dollar that EB/GS would. Heh. No, seriously, with bonuses you can get $5 minimum per game, but I'd never trade there when a trade 3 get an extra $10 deal wasn't going on.

The one time I was at an EB(and this was when there was NO trade deal going on) the one guy brought in like 200 games easily. And the bad part was, there were NO other clerks working, so I was SOL for a LONG time.

Honestly, I would NEVER trade games to EB/GS unless they had a trade 3/4 and get a new game for free or the trade 3 get $10 extra deal going.

And, I have like $86 something in credit, due to taking in games during this promo.
 
Nice thread, OP.

In general to all the nay-sayers: you should always be able to get EB Credit for about 1/2 the $ cost at some point in the year if you're a well-seasoned CAG.

As for me this year: totalled ~$200, cost = ~$60 + some old worthless games.

Current total: $45.21. 'Twas reserved for Lego Star Wars II, but got that for peanuts @ FYE..

Longshot: Anyone remember my "I Got Blacklisted From EB Games" thread from the last 3/$10? I finally got to trade those last copies of Airblade and Gran Turismo 3 that were denied last time around. (I'm in a different state now, that helped). I feel a bit screwed though since Genji went down to $5 before bonus. (used to be $8 or $9).
 
I have about $150 left at EB and have these games paid in full:

Splinter Cell: DA (Xbox 360)
Gears of War
Call Of Duty 3 (Xbox 360)

I'm probably going to add more to my credit when I'm done playing the rest of my games.
 
[quote name='pop311']On Goozex, It says that all trades are free( No transaction credits needed) Is that true?[/quote]

For the next few weeks, then it goes back to $1 per trade.
 
Sorry to double post but I don't know if this was human error but I somehow got $15.00 for the spongebob movie game...?
 
I have around $450+ at GAMERUSH.....I used a lot when I got my 360, then built it back up. Bought a few games at random recently too....

I also have Gears of War and Halo3 paid off there.
 
I just picked up a used copy of NHL2K7 for 360 today. Instead of using my built up credit. I busted out a 3-pack from Kmart and ran to another EB in the same mall. They had the buy 3 get 2 free deal on (I thought that was over). I bought 10 games there for about $18 in credit. Went back to the other store and traded in 12 games and walked out with NHL, 1 junk game and some extra crdeit back on my EB card. NHL2K7 cost me $44.55 after EBcard and coupon from GI. Oh, yeah I still have a few hundreds in credit left. And this 3 for $10 isn't over yet.
 
Oh, sorry, I think i'm in the wrong area, it seems this is a fatwallet.com thread...


IKIK. 180 for teh wii, i would have more but Florida trade in policy totally sucks, pawn shop forms , its the worst
