Tree fiddy?

Is there a Gamestop calculator somewhere? I saw one for Best Buy but I don't know if I want to use them. Any help is appreciated.

Trade your pa3 in as well

I think best buy would be your best bet though.

Generally, you will get a lot more at Best Buy, but every now and then Gamestop runs a promotion where you can get 30% extra credit when you trade 5 or more games. That might be your best bet.

if you are friendly to the gamestop employees sometimes they will give you extra shite. I can't tell you how many times I go in there and start a friendly conversation and walk out of there with a sweet deal

According to BB, I'm looking at about $138

Just logged onto Amazon and one of the recommendations for me was the Kindle version of "Auschwitz"....ummm....

at you believing the Gamestop employees are giving you extra credit because they like you. They are just saying that to make you come back. They don't have the power or the authority to give you extra credit unless there's a promotion, in which case they will give the promotion to everyone. It has nothing to do with whether you are friendly with them.

Note: There is almost always a trade-in promotion or two going on. There are usually signs for them all over the store.

If I do a mix between Amazon and BB I can squeeze over $150. I'll have to see if it's worth it.

gamestop and best buy will both usually give you more for trade-ins if you use the proceeds to pre-order something

Not to shabby especially if they are collecting dust. Get it now while the price is good.

Nah, just why pay for a game out of pocket when I can get it for "free".

I'm collecting BAH while living in the barracks. You know I'm balling

I bet you could sell them as a bundle on craigslist or something.

If those were xbox games I'd give you $150 in a second.

at least 60. when i got mw2 the other night, i traded in 3 games and i got an extra 10 bucks for 2 of them.

since it's a quarter to four in the morning and i have no life as of right now, i took the liberty of doing some math. i traded MoH, BFBC2, and NCAA12 for MW2. ok, i got 5 for MoH, 8 for BFBC2, and 15 for NCAA 12. i checked the prices on gamestop.com to check for pre-owned prices for these games and noticed that they like to make on average 70% profit. now, since you do not know the trade in value for said games, this is what you should do. take the price of each game and use this equation:

x= trade in value
y= price of game

x/y + 1 = .7 (solve for x)

or

.3y

whichever you prefer. you might, and pretty much will, be off by a dollar or some change. give or take. but you'll be in the ball park. you're welcome btw.

also, i subtracted the bonuses from my trade ins and they all ended in an even dollar amount so i might suggest rounding to the nearest whole number.
