CAGiversary!
Okay i know some people will hate me for exposing this little secret, but there is a wonderful little place, actually there is 7 total US stores. 5 in NYC(wall street, soHo,Astoria, 14th street and 50th and 8th) 1 in philly and 1 in boston called CEX or webuy.com. all goods sold and bought here are SECOND HAND(used)items. They sell pretty much everything electronics from Ipods, ipads, laptops, Cameras ,Hard drives DVDs, Blu Rays and games. theyre like a pawn shop except they have guidelines and generally give AWESOME Cash/credit for items. Its not all great though. Prices fluctaute DAILY pretty much depending on their supply and what the market is , but generally theyre are pretty reasonable in both terms of price on most items ESPECIALLY games , blu rays and DVDS. its not all good though , as most of the time they dont have cash, as this is NYC were talking about, its the home of the hustler, and sometimes the line goes out the door with people trading in everthing from mint condition Iphones to Insignifigant DVDS(slow transaction time another problem). Theyre online is up and running too, you can actually ship your items out to them and from what I'm told the turnaround time isnt too bad. all games must have original artwork and case, Ie white wii case with wii game, green case for 360 etc, clear rectangular case for PSp etc Also the buying online option is much more smooth now and only paypal is accepted. shipping is only 5.99 too no matter how much you order(take advantage of this now as it is sure to change in the future!). ive placed several orders and always received my items within 2-3 bus. days.
the reason why im sharing this with you guys is part guilt. Ive made so much money off this company , I kinda feel bad and I really want to see them succeed. they are WAY WAY WAY more on top of things now but in the past they have given RIDICULOUS TRADE IN VALUES for TERRIBLE GAMES. here is a few of the games ive flooded their stores with and both the trade in values they gave me
sam and max season 1 wii-$29/33 credit
tales of desperaux wii-21/24
kung fu panda PS3-21/24
Ninja reflex wii-24/28
monkey king wii-19/24
ninjabread man-16.19
rise of argonauts PS3 31/35
NAKED BROTHERS BAND WII-12/14-probably my fave, only because i had a bunch from GS and thought they were worthless
tamogocthi party on-12/15
legend of the dragon wii-10/12
Brutal legend ps3/360-$15-$22 up until about 4/1
there wre so many others but most of these games THEY NOW SELL for like $5-$10. I know they lost alot of money on these crappy games but the money was too easy, especially when the 50th and 8th store has a BBV directly across the street and the other stores have maybe 10-120 surrounding gamestops. they do still have some good trade in games like Grim grimoire ps2 still egts you Like $19/22 credit, Just Cause 2 and COD MW2 are $35 cash/$40 credit. Oh and unlike Evil gamestop they do make the distinction between regular and special editions. ive personally bought from them assassins creed 1 and 2 collectors editions. there are also good deals to be had from a buying perspective. FF 13 is $35 for the PS3 fire emblem Wii is $20, SSBB is $28, I also recently purchased transformers 20th anniversy DVd for $3, karaoke revolution american idol wii ad one piec for the wii for $18 and the harry potter blu ray collection for $45.if anybody has any questions feel free to ask as I am there almost daily and I know alot about the stores as I literally have received thousands of dollars in cash/credit from them(the actual amount is on file, as all transactions are kept in your history but I never wanted to know, one day I will ask).
