Traded in a bunch of games that i will never play to Gamestop for that trade in deal right now. Walked away with $538.
A guy on NeoGAF was selling his gray Switch and pro controller for $350 shipped. Gamestop has B2G1 free used games, so I ordered Zelda, MK8, and Disgaea 5. Also threw in the Zelda expansion pass. Total $138.49. Gamestop has used joycons as well, $40 each side. Some weird promo where you get $17 off if you order two used joycons, plus another $4 off each joycon for my Pro membership. Total $54.99. Total spent out of pocket: $5.48 for a Switch, 3 games, Zelda DLC, pro controller, two more joycons. The guy I bought the Switch from also threw in an extra screen protector. Assuming the Gamestop used joycons are in good condition and i get the actual cases with the games i ordered, I'll be one super happy camper. --- (laughs) ... Copied to Clipboard!

The promo was an extra 60% in trade in value if you traded in 6 or more games. If you're a Pro member, you get 70%. I signed up for pro because i would come out ahead with more value even after the $15 sign up.
Some prices i got back were neat. Xenoblade I paid $30 for and got $47.50 Zelda BotW Wii U I got for $48 and got about $56 back Fire Emblem Awakening gave me $34 Fire Emblem Conquest gave me $29 (what a shitty game) Pokemon SoulSilver gave $34 Pokemon Sun gave $29 New SMB2 gave $22 Pokemon White 2 gave $25.50 Xenogears gave me $8.50 lol --- (laughs) ...

EB Games Canada was offering a crazy trade in deal last December which is when I cashed in on most of my games. $70 for Mario Kart 8 4 months before Mario Kart 8 Deluxe came out? Yes please. $80 for The Last Guardian, which I bought for $35? Hell yeah. --- ICON: We've got movie sign! ... Copied to Clipboard!

The promo was an extra 60% in trade in value if you traded in 6 or more games. Are they still doing that because I have a number of retail games, most of them sealed, where the game ended up free on PS+/GwG before I ever played them and now I have all these disc copies sitting around that I'll never need. --- SuperNiceDog didn't have to reconcile his name...

That Gamestop promo is beyond ridiculous right now. I really wanted to get a Switch this week, so I took $420 and turned that into:
A Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Zelda Botw World of Final Fantasy Limited Edition Atelier Sopnie Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel Tales of Zestiria Super Paper Mario (Non GH) (all games were complete) and another $850 in Trade Credit leftover. It's the rare perfect storm of promos at the same time: 70% Bonus for trading in 6+ games Buy 2 Get 1 free on all preowned games End of the month trade in value boost The promos run until July 4th. You can literally buy 6 First party 3DS games for about $140 and trade them in at another Gamestop for $255. --- Yay - BkSheikah is the guru champion of awesomeness. ... Copied to Clipboard!

So I could theoretically buy 60 of them for around $1,400 and drive 15 minutes to another store and trade them in for $2,550?

Anything close to $1000 in one trade and the employees might look at you crazy - an overzealous employee might even give you a hard time. They won't take in more than one copy of each game per platform per store per day. And if you pass $2000 or trade in 5 copies of the same game, their system will ban you from further trade ins.
Otherwise, you are good to go. Just check the trade in value on Gamestop.com before you buy. If the base trade in value of a game is currently $25, the promo will give you $42.50 for it. --- Yay - BkSheikah is the guru champion of awesomeness. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Snrkiko 07/02/17 3:32:33 PM #31: |
no I did credit
i bought the switch from a guy on GAF, so I'll have to buy eshop/psn/steam cards and sell them at a little discount to get the cash so it's an extra step, but i end up with a switch sooner, and it looks new. with a screen protector, pro controller as well. no tax for $350 when it would have been $430ish to buy the two things new worth it --- ...Snrk.

gamestop doesn't sell retro games in store (for the most part)
theres an entirely different method and separate guildlines to follow when taking in retro games retro games are older and usually dont' work for the most part so we have to send them in to the warehouse to get refurbished, and that usually involves a fee for the customer. so no promotion is the way to not make the customer feel bad its a different thing god dammit --- ...
