True, but that assumes the values won't be tanked. I mean, it's unlikely that the top tier Switch games will get that low, but for the other less popular Switch games I'm considering, I'm probably gonna get the best value now.

Yes, it makes sense to trade the low value games now, but I would hold onto first party. You can always sell those directly to people for more than trade value + bonuses pretty easily.

Had a bad feeling when I saw you all talking about your accounts converting to monthly point certs when they expired...checked my expired account and sure enough, they switched me over with no notification and all my point are gone, certs all expired. Anyone know how CS treats this if I call? That's ridiculous.

$35 is the best we're gonna get for AAA Switch games I feel like (it hasn't been hitting $40 for a long while), so I think I'm going to try to convert a bunch of my physical games into digital with the eShop sale right now.

. Last time was the bump for April, so not that long ago.

Can you go to your local GameStop and swap for a complete condition?

I bought a few PS4 games (God of War, Spider-man, Tetris Effect) from their website and they all arrived in incomplete (disc only in GS genetic case) condition.


Thanks

Yes you can. If the employee is a jerk and doesn't let you. Have them process an exchange.

Damn these 4/10 flips are all at 3 of my local stores. Idk if I should risk trade them in to a store and then buy them again from the same store.

 

Just buy them back with cash and don't offer your rewards #.

Can confirm Evolve / Homefront / Killzone trade worked today (6/11/19). Got $7.20 a piece trade credit with a Pro account & the $5 trade bonus promo. Paid about $2.40 for each with the 4 for $10 deal. Prob gonna try to do one more set tomorrow. Will update tomorrow if I do.


Traded in my spare Killzone today, 6/12/19, still got the $5 trade bump to $7.20. Didn’t have time to grab another set though but will prob try to fit it in tomorrow. Will update if I do...

I haven't had any luck with GS CS in ages... emails (when they still had email support) would take weeks to respond and calling resulted in needing to hold for at least a hour, even during off peak times. And the CS was awful, definitely outsourced to one of those centers where they would handle calls from multiple companies so they couldn't answer anything beyond whatever you can find out yourself. 

 

It's worth trying if you had a significant amount of points. I lost about $25 in certs and have one expiring in 2 days. If you can use them on digital currency, then I guess I'll try to use it by then.

Anyone here ever snipe gamestop from a trade in? I did today while going in to flip shit, didn't feel too bad about it but kinda did as i go there a good amount. Dude came in with a couple old systems, gamecube n64 ps1 360 ps3 and I saw a couple retro things I wanted. Saw he wasnt gonna trade the ps3 cause he had no cords for it and they would give him like $1 after he had to purchase the cables to trade it in so I offered to buy it off him. left my number in his phone and called it as i pretended to not have any cash on me. As soon as I left the store I text the guy saying yo I want all that shit tell them this other game store offered you more $$ and ill give you a better deal. He agree to a deal for $300 and we meet up in the parking lot 20 mins later. I didnt even realize he had a switch and like 7 AAA titles and 4 ok ones as well lol. He said that he looked up the trade in values online last night and it was roughly $300 for everything. Thank god gamestop tanked trade in values for switch games recently. first time sniping from a gamestop and it was awesome! yolo.

I haven't heard anything. Just speculating that today would have been a good time to announce a bundle for the Fall for like Pokémon or Animal Crossing (which got pushed back.)


WSJ reported today Nintendo is moving their Switch production to Taiwan to avoid US tariffs, which is likely what’s causing the delay in new hardware revisions.

I have a feeling that is why they didn’t talk about much past September. They’ll probably do a late summer Direct to introduce new consoles/bundles for the holiday.

I didn't try, but my store had a huge sign on the front door.  Didn't look for an end date on it, though

Forgot to mention a couple of stores I went to still had signage for $10 clearance games and one of the other long dead clearance sales. Not sure if the manager is still honoring it on his own to clear space or they're really that far out of the loop.

I got irritated when an employee swore up and down that the plushes were still $2, but I got distracted and didn't notice the 8-bit Protoman rang up as $6.97 until I got home.

I think $10 for a CE is reasonable... try adding the Collection of Mana to your cart and check the shipping prices there. $8 shipping for a fucking Switch game.

Flipped two sets of Homefront/Killzone/Evolve yesterday & today, but I have all the same people working at all the same locations so I think I'm done. It was fun turning games from $2.25 into $7.20 so I can't complain too much. Haven't flipped in a while, but needed to pay off some pre-orders lol so I'm very thankful for y'all who gave the tip! I really do appreciate it! (I'm a poor grad student, with just a part time job haha)

I don't know the 4/10 sales end date but people repeatedly posted the 5$ extra ends the 16th.

Traded in 12 (kz/evolve/hm) on Monday and 12 today. I have 6 stores to choose from on my commute to work. I'll probably trade whatever I can everyday until the promotions end.

This promotion and the buy a console($2) get 25% off preowned games(which comes out to 32.5% off w/ pro) have allowed me to build up my Switch library.

Thanks CAG. Flippageddon 2.5?

You are aware you can only trade 4 copies of each title right?
