I went to the store to pick up some games and while I was there I looked at the Battlefield 4 guide. One of the guys that worked there say me and then gave me a gta 5 guide and battlefield 4  guide. It's good to actually be friendly with the workers.

I went out searching and couldnt find GTAV but did get world of warcraft pandora guide. Im not sure if this is an new or old one that drop but thought i share.

 
Have had no luck via trade thread pm's so I am just throwing this out there.

I have a $25 off Gamestop purchase coupon - I was looking to get the CE's (GTA V, Battlefield V, AC IV and Skylanders from the recent GS drop)

Please pm me if interested.

Alright, I updated the OP. If you guys see any guides I missed from the last few drops, please let me know. I am starting to think it may be time for a new thread. This one is still a little wonky because it was made before CAG 3.0. 

Edit: fuck, I made this thread over two years ago. Crazy.

Holy, you're shitting me? My bestbuy has all of that. (They put it in a section and literally forget about it.) Time to go to gamestop and bestbuy now.

I want to say this is either a glitch or a prank (leaning towards prank).

Several of the guides are still available for sale on the website (and not at the penny price). Several others have been OOP or otherwise not carried for years....

Not really. It just outs the gullible people.

Hitman SA and BG&E were dead giveaways!

No ones really believing the guy *shakes head*.

Which is why I said, "You're shitting me".

Though my best buy literally has a section on the wall in the back of the store of old as fuck strategy guides. I'm talking halo 3 the game years old. And they just sit there.

 
You should check some of them.  If they pennied before a certain point they should ring up as a penny and not as "recall/don't sell"

Its probably going to ring up as "recall/don't sell" but it is worth a shot. Just hope that stack doesn't fall and kill me. :pray:

Many of the guides listed are too new to have pennied before that point. Of course, if they pennied after that point, they didn't actually penny. But I digress.

And the really bored/easily entertained people.
