Amazing Spider Man 2 for PS4/XB1 - $16 at walmart and TIV is $28 with 60%
Just Dance 2016 for Wii can be found for cheap sometimes and TIV = $24
Find DS Pokemon games for $20 or less on Craigslist or other sites, flip for up to $40 TIV (depends on the game)
Mario Party 8 is another good one to find used.

You can trade one from each platform at the same store. Two of the same platform will likely get your trade denied.

So I have 11 game right now that would total $150 without the %70.

What is this I hear about a trade price bump? Last time they brought prices down, why would they bump them?

Also any easy games to find out there I can flip?

Wow, price flucuatins are real!

Yesterday I looked into trading Horizon, CoD Ghost, and a handful of other games. Horizon, for example, was only $18.70 yesterday. Today? $24.75. Call of Duty Ghosts, which I purchased randomly for $5 (NEW from Best Buy) is worth $16.50!

It certainly paid to wait to do my trades until today, or end of the month. Instead of trading in 6 games totaling 69.30 + 70% = $117 I'm now looking to get $144 b/c GS increased their trade in values...overnight.

So what do you guys recommend?

Should I wait until tomorrow to see another bump or should I just go in today?

Can't decide. :/

I really doubt there is going to be another bump tomorrow, I'm honestly surprised we saw the jump today. But for all I know we could all wake up tomorrow and the TIV's could be through the roof.

I ask because a few of the games in my list ( Persona 5, Nioh) are at 27.50 which seems to be the sweet spot for games that old. The 30+ are recent. But I haven'
t traded games in for so long so I can't tell and the last time I missed out on the thing.

If you're planning on trading 6+ games, I would absolutely dump those today if you're looking to get rid of them. Persona 5 and Nioh will net you $42.50 each with the 60% bump.

Hmmm. Waiting to see something worth getting out of mah chair for..

I'm seeing good trade-in prices, but not necessarially good flip prices. I'd probably feel differently if I had received a B2G1 coupon. despite having done it last time, I have no coupons.

If I was going to trade in games and a PS4 to get a PS4 pro, would I have to do 2 separate trades for the 60+10% and the extra $50 on a PS4, or can I get both on one transaction?

Price match Just Dance 2017 at Walmart with their own website - $19.99
Gamestop TIV is $17.50 which = $28 without Pro or nearly $30 with it.

If I can find other stuff to fill in, I may trade my copy of Overwatch back in. I got it during the B2G1 (along with Nier and Nioh) sale with the intent to play, but then I never had the patience to fridge clean for patches. Then Splatoon 2 came out and I haven't even had an urge to play OW since.

If I had completed NieR already I could have traded it in as well. Bah. I won't want to ever replay the game, even if the ending blows my mind. Replaying content isn't my thing for the type of game; I can't even get myself to play Route B! (But I'm determined to do so, I want to finish the game.)

UFC 2 and just dance 2017 for the switch at best buy are both decent flips also. Made a solid $100 today just from walking across the parking lot to gamestop.

And we're back baby!

Guys, if you have a family dollar near you check it for games. They will have random assortments but you might find some good ones. Mine had a few decent flips when I was in there yesterday. Gonna raid it on the way home.

Let's start looking for good boomerangs so people can burn their B2G1 coupons.

What did you use?
Click to expand...

Had Bestbuy credit and wanted to dump Uncharted Lost Legacy to gamestop so I bought Overwatch for 32 after GCU, 2 Ezio Collections for 20 after GCU, UFC 2 for 16 after GCU, and Just Dance switch for 32 after GCU.
Overwatch traded for 42.50
Just Dance traded for 42.50
Ezio Collection traded for 34
UFC traded for 23
Uncharted got boosted by 14 from the other games.
All in all, I spent 120 at Best Buy and walked out of gamestop with a profit of $56 just from what I had bought there. Plus the 34 for Uncharted.

I hate Gamestop. Went in and they turnes me away because of shrink wrapped games. Like for real? Have to wait 3+ hours to try again?

Correct. You have to open the shrink wrap. I typically open the shrink wrap, open the case, take the manual and disc out, then put them back in.

Also if you didn't already know it's not a good idea to trade in the same game for the same platform at the same time. You can do the same game for different platforms at the same time and they mostly don't care.

Why didnt you just take off the shrinkwrap?
Click to expand...
I forgot. Why is this an issue if they won't take the game as a return?

In the past they just made me remove it there. Why 3 hours?

I feel it's bs. Any reasoning behind it?

Edit: It was also 2 of my games bit no way am I going to trade in without them.

They've never actually given me a card. If you go in-store, you can usually just give them your phone number and your membership will pop right up.

Maybe their shift was done in 3 hours and they just didn't want to deal with you XD

It's been a really long time since I've considered using Gamestop. Do they still take PS1, PS2 & PS3 games? I've been contemplating ditching some of my games. I know I'm better off selling some of these on Craiglist, like Suikoden 2 & Ar Tonelico 2 II Premium (Sealed).

So what's to stop me from just buying $1 games and trading in to get up to six games?
Click to expand...

Just make sure it's a game they accept for trade in. It has to have a trade value of at least 1 cent- just from glancing at the PS4 game list, there is nothing under $3 that has a trade in value, for example

What's to stop me from buying all the Best Buy Ezio & Overwatch's and just going to gamestop at different times to trade 1 xbox, 1 ps4 version of each at a time?

Seems worth it to drop hundreds of dollars to get $1000+ back if you know you are going to be buying stuff in the future and have the capital. Can you just use trade credit at GS to buy gift cards to like xbox, playstation or even amazon??

GameStop limits you to 3 of a title per system for I think 30/60/90 days.

You can use GS TIV Credit for Xbox or PLN money. Gotta convert TIV credit to a GameStop Gift Card to buy Amazon credit, but some stores will block that even though the reister allows it.

Assuming this is tracked company wide and not just at a specific store? So in theory by the end of the weekend (when the bonus ends) I could trade in 3x overwatch (xbox), 3x overwatch (Ps4), 3x ezio (ps4), 3x ezio (xbox), etc etc?
