Why’s are you on this site then? You seem like you don’t mind paying MSRP on things, why come to CAG?

Because it is hilarious to see all of the deals that this forum doesn't even get in on because they aren't in the know but they act like they're the authority when it comes to deals. CAG was great long ago but now it has also kind of gone the way that Gamestop is headed. The sense of entitlement is real on this forum.

 

And as far as MSRP... you are implying that I pay for anything in the first place with out of pocket funds that is Gaming related. If you were truly a CAG then flipping would pay for everything regardless of a 1 time out of pocket cost with compounding interest on your investments or flips. The whole flip game isn't just "Gamestop" as so many people get caught up in. Expand your horizons. Join some cook groups and move past your narrow vision.

Trade value for all Switch games got nuked except for the "Top trade value" games.

wow, they sure did....guess this will be the new normal moving forward...maybe the pre-owned price drops are coming soon (lol, yeah right )? seems like they're starting to actually figure out what they're doing (ie: Cag16 on/off immedately with promotions, etc...)

So if you have all this wisdom why not share it instead of just replying with snarky comments on other's posts?

You are seeing a gathering of people who are addicted to flipping games and live each day to exploit some loophole they find with gamestop just to have the biggest balance in credit... its a sad place

[anotherpoorgamer]

Let's change it up.

Well, I don't know about you all.  But I'm still scratching my head on how to properly flip. 

I mean, I have $0/very little money to spare these days on gaming. How do I turn that into $300/a new current generation video game console?

Also, is I'm not paying attention.  Is 10% off pre-owned still working if I renewed my Pro membership last year?  Thanks ahead.

As in the words of "Loose lips sink ships" You cannot simply just share everything with the general public anymore. We used to talk about Slickdeals and ultimately that is where deals go to die because everyone will jump on it immediately. Posting glitches or loopholes on a public forum just ensures that they will be fixed/closed going forward or even order cancellations. And call me old school but I learned how to fish on my own. Just handing out information doesn't help you out in the long run. That is also why you don't see updated "Sheets" being posted on this forum anymore.

Pretty sure nobody asked you to hand out deals to us dirty plebs..  BTW, can you try to layer on the condescension on a little thicker in your next post?  I'm not sure it would have come though clear enough for some of the lower iq readers in this one.

Anyone know any good cook groups to join??

[detsportsfan3]

Does anyone know how New converted to pre-owned works? I'm guessing they need to actually apply the pre owned sticker since New/pre-owned should have different SKUs and pricing? Asking because yesterday I saw KH III deluxe edition new for $60 or whatever. I asked if it was new and not pre-owned because I just bought a "pre-owned" one for $15. She said yeah it's new and I just let it be because I felt like even if she scanned it it would still show up as new.

Although I bought a PS4 one and this was XBONE so not sure of both were converted to pre-owned. Would kinda suck if I missed out on a deal cause they didn't get the memo from corporate.

It will be tagged as pre-owned.

 

Gamestop gets a list everyday of price changes, and employees are supposed to go through and adjust them as such. Depending on your store, and if the employees are lazy or not, this may impact whether or not you are seeing converted games as often or not.

 

Both new and pre-owned skus can be active at same time, but whether or not corporate tells them to convert new copies to pre-owned will be up to each store to make sure it's done.

You're too late. I was too late when I joined this forum a couple months ago.

I'm Dave, and this is Dave's guide to flipping

 

1 - Borrow all the PS4/Switch/XB1 games from your local library 

2 - Trade in games to gamestops with a promo 

3 - Buy those games back with a promo 

4 - Return those games to the library

5 - Profit

 

[walletandgromice]

Trade value for all Switch games got nuked except for the "Top trade value" games.

Bad for GameStop flips but great as a second hand, private party buyer. GameStop's TIVs often establish a minimum sale price when trying to buy used switch games on Craigslist/etc.

Totally traded in my KingdomHearts 3 copy upon hearing it is Xbox Game Pass.

Guys, looks like Dave is playing the long con.

All the deals are gone.  Move on.

 

If you were interested in flips, you're a year too late.
