Sold like 8 games and a few controllers, got just over $300.
Picked up a PS4 Slim, sold my OG, then bought Deus Ex, Batman Telltale, DQVII and MH4U.
Not bad.
this part is straight up wrongGamestop SM here. Whatever value you get in the app (in store credit) add 60% to it if pro member (50 % if you are not a pro member, but free member. This may not be mentioned in the ad, but it still applies here).
So for example.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (ps4) - 27.50 trade in for pro, 25 regular/free member. With the promotion you get the following. Pro = 27.50 + 16.50 = 44 trade in value. Free member = 25 + 12.50 = 37.50.
Uncharted 4 - pro credit 16.50, free member 15. With promotion added: pro = 9.90 + 16.50 = 26.40. Free = 7.50 + 15 = 22.50
Overwatch 27.50 trade in for pro, 25 regular. Promotion added, Pro = 27.50 + 16.50 = 44 trade in value. Free member = 25 + 12.50 = 37.50.
Especially when you avoided paying tax on that slim
That's something I really like about trading stuff in to GameStop.
this part is straight up wrong
the listed value in the app for PUR Pro members has the 10% baked in
Overwatch and DXMD are listed as 27.50; that's $25 base + $2.50 (PUR Pro 10% bonus) + $12.50 (50% bonus weekend promo) = $40
the app/web lookup's values aren't always accurate either; the Xbox power adapter value not displaying correctly has been a thing for years, and some games (Bravely Default, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Pokemon B2/W2) aren't even listed anymore but still have values if you try to trade them in, AFAIK
Here's my receipt from today:Nothing about what I said was inaccurate. I just did a mountain of trade-ins today. Each one traded out for 44. Take a copy in and see how much you get. Same with Overwatch (which surprises me since I thought the community is still strong with this game). If I receive an email stating this is incorrect, or a call from the DM, I will let you guys know, but this is what I been getting all day today with the promotion of those two games in particular.
As for the app, you are correct about that as sometimes the games are no longer in there for one reason or another. You call into a store, they should give you a value. However, I know some stores personally do this (don't ask my why as I am still confused if its just a managers choice) is they will flat out refuse a trade in because they have a high amount of a particular title (Diablo III for consoles being one apparently).
If you are a store manager or ASM or game advisor I apologize if I am coming off as harsh or whatnot. I been an Store Manager for 5 years and This is usually how these promotions go when I run them. I will double check everything and get back to you on it, but I am confident about it for now.
I traded in about 6-7 mostly older games and got 75 bucks credit today. I asked about trade-in values for the PS4 towards the Pro and they said their deal for bonus credit towards a pre-order already ended. The system isn't out until November 10th, isn't it a bit early to be ending incentives like that? Any chance they might have a second round before release?
Yeah kind of early for them to say they wont be offering that deal again the PS4 PRO doesnt come out til November..I really want to trade in my PS4 and get the PRO hopefully they will have another bonus credit
Best Buy is the absolute worst. They could offer 200% extra credit and it would still be shit.

My best buy is flat out bizzare when it comes to trade ins. Don't know if it's a NY thing or just this specific store, but to do trade ins there you need to have receipt proof that the game was originally purchased at best buy. Three times I've tried to trade in there. First time I thought I just got a new employee or something, but two more times different employees both told me that was their policy. Pointless.
GameStop is currently offering $125 for a launch PS4 in good condition, Amazon is offering $147.84. I don't want to trade it into Amazon considering I just got 75 bucks that could go towards the Pro at GameStop, but they are offering so much more credit. I'm hoping if I just wait a little bit, that some last chance deal will pop back up at GameStop.
I think the person you're replying to is referring to Amazon'a trade-in program. Not selling it as a 3rd party.Yeah Im not bothering with amazon..I sell games on amazon sometimes and they give the buyer 30 days to return the game no questions asked..I sold an old PS2 game, and the person wrote me wanting his money back, claimed he bought 3 of the same game(Yeah right, he played it and changed his mind) so I had to refund him, no way would I sell a PS4 on amazon, too many risks..at least at gamestop they have it they approve it its theirs..just 125 is so low, really hope that before the PRO release date they do something better again
Use it to buy Amazon gift cards in-store.
They did so for years, but they stopped a couple of months ago. It's kind of hard to cash out GS credit now that you can't get Amazon or eBay credit anymore. (Prepaid Visa cards are no good either.)Haven't been inside a GameStop in years but, they sell Amazin giftcards now?

Should I trade my black ops 3 in now or wait and hope for some upgrade promo.
Not anymore, no. They did on and off for a year or two.
Can you trade in games and use the credit towards PS or Xbox store cards or do you have to use the credit to buy/preorder a physical product?
"60% extra credit for any game or accessory traded"So if it says $125 for a base PS4 on the website, that's before the 50% extra, right? Or is the 50% included?
*facepalm* Can't believe I missed that. Thanks."60% extra credit for any game or accessory traded"

No, you'd get $21 for a DS3 ($22.40 if you're a PowerUp Pro member).Bleh their prices for last gen accessories are awful. I'll get $15 for my Dualshock 3 but not even $10 between my Wiimote, Move controller and Move Navigation controller put together. Still might trade them in anyways just to free up some space.
Now see the trade values drop by 50%+ the day before, thus making this irrelevant. Good ol Gamestop.
noDoes the website TIV thing reflect the additional 50%? I looked up the TIV for my DS4 about a week ago, and just did it again today and the TIV is identical.
You should be fine. If they're giving you crap about it, trade in the disc by itself.Can you trade in games that were pack-ins with your console? Like my PS4 came with Uncharted 4. I'd like to trade it in but instead of a barcode it has "not for resale" which makes me think I can't. I don't want any physical games though so it's useless to me. :-/
Your numbers don't look right. I'm getting $51.50 base for the games ($77.25 with the 50% bonus or $82.40 with PowerUp Pro's additional 10%).Hey, just went through and did some calculations to see where I'm at with this deal before I go in later toady.

My suggestion would be to trade in ALBW, TW3, and Driveclub and sell the other games and 3DS elsewhere.
Don't forget to consider eBay fees and having to pay for shipping when evaluating selling on there, though.
also, yeah, definitely listen to Lemstar on fees and shipping. It costs me $3~ on average to ship a game, and then there's the 10% final item value fee. It adds up if you sell things piecemeal, but if you bundle you also don't make as much. Some things should definitely be sold eBay or GAF B/S/T, but it will do you good to compare each item as some are better off traded to GameStop/Best Buy.
