Slightly off topic. But regarding all the cash back sites. I’ve had instances where I’ve ordered something through GameStop, got cash back, returned the item for whatever reason, and the cash back stayed.

Does anyone know why it sometimes stays and sometimes doesn’t? Or is it just random or luck/a glitch

It's up to Gamestop to notify if the item gets returned. I got hosed out of a $10 sign up bonus with Befrugal because Gamestop never informed them I bought the product even though I showed Befrugal my confirmation email. Once in awhile, I flat out don't get the cash back I should but it's rare and usually an email to their customer support takes care of it. In this case though, I would think that if a person is constantly buying items just to get the cash back and then return the items, they would catch on. If it's done infrequently though, I am sure they won't notice.

Yeah unfortunately with those types of things it’s up to the vendor. Gamestop seems to be the worst with updating apps about any details with orders.

Also, people putting in online orders if they aren’t showing up they most likely are going through. I had to reach out to GameStop about this yesterday to make sure an order I put the other day went through. They’re having a system issue apparently with not updating accounts or placing tracking on packages. Fun.

Anyone else thinking about trading in their Xbox Series S? $232.50 after $40 trade bonus seems tempting.

I was thinking about it since it's more than what i paid but i don't really want another X or PS5.

[johnston306]

Wii fit U seems to be trading in for $22 base, says on the website and this person also went to trade it in and got $35.20 after promo and pro.

I didn't think I really had enough to go in for a trade, but I sure do now! Thanks, I'll go right when they open tomorrow, they're already closed tonight.

[hustlersuniversityTopG]

Today was my rest day but I hope values hold till next Saturday night. I work 60 hours a week I need rest. a day rest is important.

Yeah I was contemplating doing that when I asked about the $40 being part of the listed trade-in values or not. $232.50 is actually quite good though I don't intend to buy an Xbox Series X soon (still waiting on another special edition console or refresh) and I wouldn't know what to use the credit for.

Yeah with no new hardware on the horizon, I’m hesitant to stock up on GameStop credit. I managed to get a 512GB Xbox expansion card for $65 from Target and now find the Series S to be the better value compared to my X. Mostly just have the X to play Rock Band.

Stock up credit, preorder multiple of those new Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Switch consoles until the credit is all gone, then sell them at cost (or for more) for cash on Offer Up. Ezpz

But ya, I don't have the motivation for that hustle anymore lol. Would rather just sell a Series X locally for $350-400 cash and be done with it

[whitereflection]

The Series S dropped in value this morning to $148 base, making the bonus worthless since even with the bonus, it's less than what it was before the promo started.

[TheKbob]

I doubt we'll ever see another Tradepocalypse, like the one I took advantage of in 2017...

Buy six games on clearance at Walmart, trade in for more store value than paid.  Then buy six high dollar Nintendo games under B2G1.

Then flip those to another GameStop for MORE store credit.  Rinse and repeat as long as you're feeling lucky.

I paid off a New Nintendo 3DS XL and fat stack of games with that one.  Ah, good times.

I used to stock up on Xbox credit to use on Microsoft store, but they don't have much beyond their own products now. It was nice to get a Samsung phone and Xbox Series X that way. Steam cards was good too for steam deck.

Where are the psvr2 pre-orders. Ahhhhhhhhh

[keyblader1985]

2017 was definitely the glory days. I missed out on the most optimal part of it, but there were still some pretty good trade values afterward; between that, flipping games from Family Dollar and Redbox, and the $150 PS4 for Black Friday, I got my PS4 for practically nothing.

There is still some sweet deals to be had, I’ve been buying the sub $300 or less XSX and traded in a few last year for $480 each, more than doubled my original purchase price from Amazon Warehouse, granted it’s just trade credit.

[Nelson2011]

Did the ps5 drop in value also?

[Rudybegga]

Great trade values! Wow!!! What are the odds that Sea of Thieves will ACTUALLY trade in for that?

[hooknsling]

0%. It's been documented here that the actual item is a controller.

[briandadude]

Not zero as I convinced the employee after showing them the screenshot on my phone.

Wii Fit U $35.20 with Pro is pretty outrageous

Wish any of the local thrifts actually had vidya that weren't priced as Collectors Prices.

I ordered Dead Space on the GS app on the 26th and it is still on “preparing to ship” today. I can’t cancel the order at this point, has anyone else had a new release game take this long to process for shipment?

[DaShaka]

Series x dropped as well, less than before even with bonus. Looks like the stack of 35 games won’t be traded in either, disappointing as always.

[Selltrade]

Well mini flips a many. Should be an easy $50-200 a run about 60 decent flips most are under the $30 mark. Some are break even. I posted the spreadsheet previously and have edited it. There are some errors on it but it should work for most people just check values beforehand.

 

Honestly even without the added bonus a lot of these games are break even.

 

Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame 3 Switch

Bayonetta and Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle

Guacamelee! One-Two Punch Collection

Horizon Chase Turbo Switch

Catherine: Full Body PS4

The Sinking City Xbox One

Sea Of Thieves

 

Outriders: Worldslayer - Xbox Series X

Isn't that just a DLC code?

 

NBA 2K23 - Xbox Series X might have the wrong values

 

Some people have directed message me on this before. Basically go to store A buy the games you see. Then go to Store B and trade them in unless Store B has great inventory and then go to Store C D E etc.

Thank you. Where is the spread sheet?
