I got the full $70 back for Ratchet on PS5 when i returned that but that makes sense because of the code inside for the season pass. Oh well thanks for the response

The "refund" will be based on the standard edition of the game. So if you get the $100 version or whatever, you're SOL getting it all back.

Can anyone recall the last time 40% or 50% in boost happened when trading in x number of games? I’ve been holding onto a good amount of switch games, but it seems like these never happen anymore.

Hopefully it happens in a couple of hours when the new ad comes out.

Not sure where you see that. Its $33. Your coupon was probably added.

Looks like they just did a price hike on a lot of pre-owned games. A lot of the ones I keep my eye on just went up 25%+

I noticed the exact same thing even on a few games that always seem to be out of stock.

don't look at them as costing $1000, look at it as you are saving $200 when you add to cart!

Because it's glass and not plastic.

Godzilla increased to $70 last year sometime. I paid $70 back in Dec 2020. Otherwise correct on the other 2 games rising today.

Before pandemic, I figured these titles would have gotten reprinted.  Especially, Gravity Rush and Job Simulator. 

Even nowadays, you'd think no PS4 title would go for so much.  Would love to see double packs on disc of Job Simulator and Vacation Simulator.

It got like 3 or 4 going by it restocking so many times. But yeah. Unless they were talking about the other 2 games and mean to exclude gravity rush but forgot to do it specifically.

Which ones were you looking at that went up? I'm not seeing it on the ones I've been waiting for (though they're not going down either).

The simulator games were made by a Google subsidiary.  Considering how Google's track record for physical products, I'm not at all surprised that there was no re-print of those

Just as an example, Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Was $29.99 now $39.99. I know the chances of someone trading it in are basically 0 (and then the chances of the GameStop employee not buying it for himself are also 0) but I still check it sometimes, lol

A little late to the party but Diablo 3 (NSW) is in stock for $26 (Base TIV $30) and Just Dance 2018 (NSW) is $15 (Base TIV $20).

I had a blast flipping Just Dance yesterday, I just wish the limit wasn't just 4 copies!

I have had issues with the app for a while and zero issues with the website. I would suggest avoiding the app for now.

Actually had a positive experience with GameStop just now.

Was doing a monthly receipt clean up and was looking at one for a bunch of trades I made on the 14th. Turns out they didn't scan my Mario&Rabbids for trade. I know it's easy to say that maybe I just misplaced it, but in this case I was 100% sure I had traded it in (because I had just picked it up from the Best Buy across the street *cough*) so I decided to call and see if there was anything they could do, expecting to get a ton of shit and a "too bad, should have brought it up before you left the store".

Guy on the phone figures it was a game they don't take in or something, but looks up my phone number, finds the game in only a minute or two and slaps the credit on a random pre-order he says I can just come in and cancel. I ask how much the credit's for and he cites me the regular pro value and I said I was thrilled to be getting anything, but ask if it was possible to throw in the $5 bump I'd have gotten and he does it no problem. What a bro, wish I could take a survey for him.

 

tl;dr If you ever catch a trade-in missing on your receipt, give them a call.

Ya got lucky! I have the values stored on my phone and if it doesn’t equal what the register shows, I inquire immediately. Have a second note on your phone with your trade card number and pin for safekeeping.

Good advice. Yeah, the transaction was already longer than it should have been because I was buying two games to price-match in the store as well and the guy wanted me to show him the prices on the website on my phone and the data in the area is garbage. So by the time it was all over, I just wanted to get out of there since I was already running late.

Thank god they're finally automatically price matching .com. :bouncy:

I know the stores around me well enough that I wouldn't even try calling.  It wouldn't be considered.  Regardless, try to +survey the employee sometime if you have the opportunity.

I usually take the time to do the surveys for the store, as they're the closest one to me since the one within walking distance closed and I've never had an issue with them outside of one time where they didn't replace a blank State of Decay 2 code on my receipt after buying an Xbone (even after it was escalated to the DM). I've just been grateful they've never given me a hard time like in all the horror stories posted here. Unsurprisingly, they're a prestige store.
