Anybody else been taking advantage of the deals?
I've been buying and reselling games.
Made a profit of $365 today.
>>
>>382727206
>he didn't take it for all its worth

I spent $101 and made a lot
bought switch games and paid off stuff for the fall

its dying though, game prices started dropping around 5PM est for me

>he didn't take it for all its worth

I spent nothing. Just traded in a bunch of games I was done with or had on pc already.
I would've done more but I heard about the deal too late.

What deals?
>>
>>382729005
prolly talking about how if you trade in like 6 or more games you like 70% more credit

or he's just shitposting
>>
>>382728959
There's a deal at gamestop right now if you trade in 6 or more games you get an extra 60% for them. 70% if you're a member. Also there's a two for one deal on all pre owned games.
If you're smart you can buy lots of games and resell them to other stores for a profit.

>LE TITLES CRASHING IN PRICE

this only applies if you are still trying to get the ball rolling with shit like Garden Warfare 2 or those other Best Buy 20 dollar games. High end first party nintendo shit is guaranteed not to crash. I've been buying and reselling Switch titles, pokemon titles and other random new shit all day. Invested 65 initially and now I'm 650 up in credit and on top of that I got MK8D, Binding Of Issac Afterbirth, Cave Story(don't care about MUH NICALIS), Persona 5(steelbook), Paper Mario: Color Splash, and Has Been Heroes(on sale for 10 on every system) for almost nothing thanks to the B2G1. Might try more gamestops tommorow if they don't crash the trade values.
>>
>>382730709

>corp will stop it

according to the gamestop subreddit and their facebook not only are they aware of these shinanigans but they give absolutely no fucks.
>>
>>382731959
ok, then stores better stop giving a fuck
my friend in pittsburg was told by a store that some asshole in pitt caused such a fucking mess with this deal that they wouldn't take his games in

another store told him that district manager said that corp said fuck you to accepting certain games
>>
>>382731818
pokemon sun and moon were trading for 46, they, as of 8pm est, are getting 42.

fuck you, they ARE dropping shit

>>382727206

FUCK GAMESTOP.
But good on you for making that cash. I hope those corporate pigs die!
>>
>>382732490

>42 now

who cares. You can still buy used copies of SuMo for around 35 under pro membership and use it to snowball other things. Also I can confirm the DS pokemon games Platinum and HGSS didn't get touched since I used them as my last trade in a 8:49 PM tonight,

how?

if he spent something or nothing, he made out
hell, buying shit from BB for 101 and then trading it to GS for 228 credit is making twice in credit what you put in

So the limiting factor is getting cheap games? Nothing on the Gamestop side?
>>
>>382732978
It's technically true I spent a lot more money buying the games than selling them. But these were old as shit. They were just collecting dust. Some were over five years old. I also bought games with the credit and resold them. Making more of my initial sale.

also you arent counting gas money, time wasted running around

i think i got like 100-200 in credit and just wasnt worth it because i have no problems with money or any worry about money , nor would i give my money towards junk i wouldnt buy in the first place solely because i got an inflated credit at a storefront. i buy all the games i want anyway

Look for this stuff. Especially BotW

The Olympic games and the first 3DS fire emblem one are probably not anywhere.

I traded in Mario Party 10 WiiU and MP9 on Wii for like $60 each

Moon was fucking everywhere but they might not accept if you bring in like 6 to trade. Fire Emblem and Xenoblade were kinda rare. Smash bros were here and there.

Never saw Mario Maker pre-owned

Drops their net income, but adds to their top line revenue so they can tell investors they are growing at the cost of margin erosion on this generation's resale. They lost a shitload of money, but it's a bluff. They also conveniently placed this promo in the middle of two quarters, so they will only take part of the hit now.
>>
>>382736357
It's actually a math thing
You're not getting 1.6 times 27.50, you're getting 1.7 times (extra 10% for Pro) 25.00.

They make money, not lose it. You people are going around buying their games (With real cash) and then trading in for store credit (Not cash). This is probably some attempt from Gamestop to put themselves in the black, because pre-owned game sales have been declining like crazy.
>>
>>382739456
Goddamn, I thought I had plenty with like 7 in my area.

>>382740542
You need to be a pro member for 70%. You pay like $15 for a year of it. If you are over $150, then you should do it but not if you're under.

Although, being a pro member, you also pay less for pre-owned games too.
>>
>>382739665

I know a manager in the northeast. He got no such memo and is being told not to do anything unless customers are being blatant about it i;e trading stuff in and then buying it back. Trade values for stuff are alledgedly going to fall by tomorrow to curb late comers but you should be safe if you already have a mass of credit and are just trading up Nintendo shit.
>>
>>382738208
While the B2G1 is still on, flip the credit into three PSVRs for the price of two
$700 in credit cost and you get over $1000 worth of merch to flip on eBay
This is what I'm planning on doing tomorrow
>>
Those of you wanting to do this be smart about how you do it. Try not to do it in the same store or if you're gonna do it more than once be prepared to be banned from trade ins afterwards. Gamestop has a pretty robust loss department that tracks fraudulent trade ins thats why they ask for your info when you sell stuff

Our corporate is talking with attorneys. In some states it's a form of fraud but not in all of them. In the ones its fraud the plan is to roll their trade card back to $0. They also have a company wide "trade limit" thats always been in effect but now that this happened the timing window has been super tightened. People abusing it are being permabanned from trading in our stores left and right.

One kid raged on me super hard today because him and his friend kept going to the only 3 GameStops in our area and one would buy the games and the other would come In and trade them back in and I told him there was a mandatory 30 day hold on trades and he freaked the fuck out. Did everything but literally REEEE in the middle of my store. This has been pure gold for the employees. Our sales have never been better and there isn't a single person who's going to spend all that trade credit they spent all day getting.

This was a either a fuck up at corporate levels or a genius ploy boost our trade numbers to be make it look like trading isn't dying. The fact that our corporate has been quiet and hasn't cut the deal or told us to hold trades has said enough. We're still getting games and creating repeat customers that think they're ripping us off. They have credit at our store. They have to come back eventually. They bought pro cards. That's nothing but profit for GameStop. Sure showed is.

I don't know why gamestop shillers are saying you can't purchase gift cards. Not 2 days ago, I bought, with a GS gift card mind you, an amazon card with the rest of the money I had on the gift card. I'm more than relatively sure you can purchase a gift card with it & if there's some bs policy, you cna just purchase a GS gift card, which you can THEN purchase gift cards with.
>>
>>382743651
That's pretty dope honestly. Most retards are buying our iPads or trying to buy gift cards only to realize they can't.
>>
>>382743557
>>382743562
>>382743631
Huh. I see. Guess I better comb through my stuff one last time and get something out of stuff just collecting dust.
>>
>>382743908
Gift cards and trade cards are different. What these people are getting is trade cards which can't be used for anything other than game related purchases. The only POSA cards available with these trade cards are Xbox psn stream and origin.
>>
>>382744093
Many people on Neogaf and CAG have been able to get trade-in credit transferred to GS gift cards, and GS gift cards being used to purchase Amazon cards. It's up to the intelligence and willingness of the cashier, it seems.
>>
>>382744206
They're either lying or lying because our POS registers literally will not let you. There's no work around or any manager function that can fix it. If you try to use trade credit for anything outside of its boundaries the system literally does nothing.
>>
>>382743909
Yep it worked out really well for us. Some people lucked out and got Gamestop gift cards that they converted into more profitable avenues, but I'll take $1000 in pure profit and a couple games for an afternoon of shopping.
>>
>>382744349
Or maybe it varies by location. This is a weird thing for someone to lie about.
>>
>>382744414
Nah like I said earlier. Anyone claiming that got a gift card is lying. Our register doesn't let it happen. You simply can't proceed to the checkout screen until you remove either the trade or the gift card.
>>
So assuming this still works tomorrow, what are the most valuable games theyre likely to have in stock? Mario maker 3ds, breath of the wild, link between worlds, pokemon sun and moon, what else?
>>
>>382727206
i dont get it. 70% more on $3/game is only like $5/game
>>
>>382744524
That's a small chance but people lie about dumber shit daily. They probably to seem like they beat the system better than you did.
To put it in perspective sort of our stores are so uniform that we use the same everything at every store so that if we shuffle employees or run out of something we can go to another store and not skip or a beat or retrieve supplies with no issue. They're super weird about everything being incredibly uniform.
>>

Poke plat, Mario party 9 and 10.

But you should probably make sure before buying them
>>
>>382744689
It's the B2G1 free thing that stacks with that 70% which makes it really work.

Buy two games for $45 each, get third free.

Trade in all three games for $60ish each. Make $180 from a $90 purchase.

okay, I don't go to GameStop very often or even buy games too often.
I'm willing to do a bit of legwork tomorrow to get myself a switch and BOTW. (whenever they get them in stock, i'm willing to wait)

However, I don't have any games to trade in. Would it be stupid for me to buy all the high value trade in games at best buy, target, walmart and then go to gamestop?

or would it all be a huge waste of time and money for me?
>>
>>382745217
It would be stupid because the whole point of the deal is the B2G1 preowned @ Gamestop.
>>
>>382745217
The high value ps4 games like garden warefare 2 are worth it if you get them for 20 bucks, but only buy nintendo games from gamestop with the b2f1 feee
>>
>>382743631
>That's nothing but profit for GameStop

aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh, you know that's not true. you can sell your games to start getting credit and a reward card, visit a few more stores and boomerang, and come back and buy those same games and also a ps4 pro and GTA5 and a fuckton more shit.

it does boost your transaction numbers, but thats it.
>>
>>382745217
GameStop employee here.
Easier way to not raise suspicion is buy them at a GameStop a few towns over and then go to your locals. Tomorrow is the last day of b2g1. Buy Nintendo 3DS games. Mario Pokémon super smash. Those go high. Don't use a pro card on purchasing because we'll look it up on your cards history and ask you to do a return instead of a trade.
>>
>>382745474
cant you only see the last 5 transactions of that account?

besides pre-orders and shit, that is.
>>
>>382745430
And we still have our games you shuffled around to other stores and now your store credit back.
>>
>>382745217
All the stuff I had to trade in was like 2 or 3 dollars except BOps 2 which was $20.

So I went to Best Buy and Gamestop, bought a couple games and used that to trade in to get B2G1 Nintendo games at Gamestop.

Just do that and you'll be golden.

Don't buy your initial games at Gamestop. They're a lot more expensive there than at Best Buy and Wal mart.

NFS and Rivals were like $15 at Walmart, Garden Warfare and ASM 2 were like $20 at Best Buy.

Though I would check tomorrow to see if those are still active

>>382745597
Yes and no. We can use the tablet to get a full history.
>>
>>382743769
Anon, I know you must think it's hilarious to fuck with a kid like that but I read a post on GAF about someone calling corp in store and the manager had to push the trade through after denying him originally.

Knowing how corporate works they'll probably get some gift card for their troubles too. It's best to just let them do it

If anything it's a loss for Gamestop, since at the end of their day, the customer is going to use that credit that they got from Gamestop for stuff bought elsewhere to buy Gamestop stuff.

Only benefit for Gamestop is it makes it looks like pre-owned and trading in is still viable.

Feels like you can't read so I'll explain. If you put games on the counter to trade in I can look at your purchase history. If you bought the games you are trading in within the return limit I'll just start doing a return instead. That's always enough for you socially retarded fucks to utter out a "n-never mind" and grab you shit and leave in a huff.

>>382745474
That's bullshit. Don't listen to this guy.

>>382746728
These always a manager working. GameStop is real hands off. They'll call our district leader who will call us and ask and then tell us to handle it. It's been this way for years. Not to mention it's my right as an employee to refuse you (in our handbook) as long as I don't make any accusations. I can tell you no but can't accuse you of anything. If you refuse to leave it's now trespassing and you look like the giant baby you are when the cops show up and escort you out.

>>
>>382747082
You have to return all the games and we'll resell them if you want to do an exchange. If you want to return the free game just go to a different GameStop and tell them you lost the receipt. Most of us don't give a fuck and will just give you its cash value.
>>
>>382747195
On different platforms, yes, but if you trade too many of the exact thing, you will get trade banned
>>
>>382747082
no
>>
>>382747082
Nope, b2g1 if you return one you gotta return them all.
But you can trade in the free game if you don't mind not being able to return the other two.
I bought 3 games on Friday and traded them in today with three of my own because the trade value was better than a refund anyway
>>
>>382746915
I bought some games from a local store, combined with a few shit games I no longer wanted, and traded them in for a total of $170. After that I bought Wildlands, GTA V, Tekken 7, PGA Tour, Farm Simulator 17, and Horizon Zero dawn for a total of 197. So in total I'd spent $80 total at that point. Once I went to another store and traded those titles, the credit total came out to 260. The six games I then bought there cost me 171 w/ tax, and when I traded those I got 240 in credit, bringing my total to 329.

Pretty easy. Just have to pick the right games.

make sure you dont get garden warfare 2, youll stick out as a scammer immediately. emails about mainly that game are going out this morning

go to gamestop/trade

look up these systems in the game search bar. "wiiu" "3ds" "switch"

sort them by highest trade value

there's some safe bets

>>382747794
That's so silly though. What about trading in like christmas gifts? Or bundles in which you don't care about one of the games.

I understand the rationale but it seems silly.
>>
>>382747771
yes

just do it and trade them at another GS, boom, more credit

you should get at the least 80 credit or more per store
>>
>>382747680
The sku has nothing to do with it.
Anon finds out game X trades in for $20 cash.
Anon then tries to bring in multiples of game X and gets turned down.
"I know!" Says anon as he bring us one copy of game X for each console.
He's still turned down and leaves a bad yelp review.
>>
>>382747845
No one has explained how to go from Gamestop trade in credit to Amazon credit though.

None of the places near me will exchange GS trade in credit for GS or Amazon gift cards.

So is it really a bad idea to use the pro card for the 10% discount + the extra 10% on trade ins or was that guy just memeing.
>>
>>382747794
Yeah it's basically theft detternent. Usually if a game is unopened it would be returned instead of traded on. But Jonny Methhead thinks the games he stole from toys r us are worth more because he never opened them.
>>
>>382747726
Sure bud

>>382748110
Memeing, I did it all day and was never told anything
>>
>>382748065
If their DL reviews their trade logs they'll likely be fired. No joke. It's a super strict policy.
>>
>>382748110
what?

no, you get 10% off what you buy and then trade for 10% more

what is bad about that?
>>
>>382748070
Boils down to YMMV, I guess, I went to 4 Gamestops and they all told me I couldn't get a Gamestop gift card with my store credit.
>>
>>382748110
I wasn't mememing. Obviously not all districts are doing what I said but I'm just telling you what mine does. Don't use it to purchase but do use it to trade in.

>talks of gamestop in financial trouble in the months before this deal
>gamestop getting absolutely destroyed buying games that aren't worth anything

is this the final nail in the coffin for them ? it's a double whammy not only at they buying toxic inventory they are killing revenue letting people cash out with the few desirable items they have in stock.
>>
>>382748248
I just got the birthday Gamestop card that lets you fill it up with whatever amount. Then when it comes time to pay don't say shit about using your trade card! Then with your new birthday gift card go to another Gamestop and grab the amazon card you can put a custom amount and once again, don't say shit, just swipe the card without bringing any attention.
>>
>>382747563
My best flip was 170 to 240 and I bought Spiderman2 on XB1 and PS4, yooka laylee for ps4, persona 5, plants vs zombies, and worms wmd for xb1. My store had worms priced at 26, it traded for 31. Persona 5 was 49, traded for 56, GW2 was 40, traded for 46, Spiderman 2s were 35, traded for 38. However, one spiderman and worms were free, so their pure profit, and since my other games traded for more than I paid, made up for the loss on yooka since it was so small.
Each store is gonna have different stock, so be checking stuff to see where you can take a hit and where you can gain big.

You use your trade card (not trade credit after trading the games) to buy the custom Gamestop giftcard. Look at that amazon balance I posted earlier, that's only attainable by converting a trade card > gift card > amazon card.
>>
I did this
used Pokemon Sun/Moon, Majora's Mask, the FE Fates games and Mario Maker. nets exactly $256
I bought USFII, MK8, $80 worth of steam cards (they give you an extra 30% on trades and stacks) EDF2 on Vita, and MGS on Vita plus some pre-orders
tomorrows the last day lads, you have till 6 pm to do everything tomorrow
>>
>>382747938
This is why I have a friend come with me and make some throwaway comment about "my roommate" and how we heard about the sale so we figured we'd group our games for the boost. Makes the whole thing a lot less suspicious. Especially if you are nice towards the employees.

Some stupid fucking rubes work at your local. I'd still tell you no.
>>
>>382748998
Yes you can. There's no block on the system and most people keep announcing they are using trade credit giving the rep an opening to say no. The system allows you to buy giftcards with trade CARDS.
>>
>>382748687
Nice job anon. None of my store had any good Nintendo stuff in. No pre-owned zelda, mario kart, etc. Not even on wii u. Think I'll hit the other side of town tomorrow to see if they have some.

Ps4 was the high one. Xbox one was low
>>
>>382749310
You are literally a moron. I've done this at 4 different stores. If you have a trade card, you can buy Gamestop giftcards with it. You can't use raw trade credit into a Gamestop giftcard.
>>
>>382749373
they were the same value when the b2g1 started
>>
>>382749363
It's technically already 7/4. If you save a trade now, it gives you the trade in value for today.
>>
>>382749071
I think I was just getting really lucky, to be honest. The first store is one that my friend frequents, so they know he's cool, the second was some new guy who barely knew where discs were, third was some dude who clearly did not want to be there (to the point where he told some ~10 yr old "superman sucks"), and the fourth had her system freeze up on the customer before me so long that a line of eight people formed behind me. Seems like everyone I saw couldn't be bothered into giving a shit.
>>
>>382727206
Yep. Cleaned out my local Walmart's inventory yesterday of Garden Warfare 2 and Amazing Spider-Man 2, doubled my money at the GameStop down the road thanks to an employee who didn't give a fuck, and today I bought a Switch bundle.

For stocks, Probability Of Bankruptcy is normalized value of Z-Score. For funds and ETFs it is derived from a multi-factor model developed by Macroaxis. The score is used to predict probability of a firm or a fund experiencing financial distress within next 24 months. Unlike Z-Score, Probability Of Bankruptcy is the value between 0 and 100 indicating the actual probability the firm will be distressed in the next 2 fiscal years.

GameStop Corp
Probability Of Bankruptcy = 23 %

>Just get a job.

>>382750024
its all about buy-price to trade-value ratio

but for switch games i would be worried about availability. youll get caught if you buy the same ones back and youre unlikely to find all of them in the wild.

once you have your initial 6 high-trade-value games youre set to make dough but if you want a guarantee youll get arms/zelda back you might have to resort to ordering online.
>>
>>382750189
What, wait a month for someone to offer you $20 more when you can start earning literally hundreds of dollars per Gamestop visit?
>>
this sounds autistic as fuck, in a lucrative way

I can't even imagine the poor fucks that work there and have to deal with this. I bet the people doing this are fat, sweaty, and awkward. Plus then all the sleazeballs that jump on the bandwagon to try to sell the stuff later.

I totally would have done it if I had the games to begin with, but going out and buying them takes a special kind of person.

If I for some god-forsaken reason I ever had gamestop credit, I wouldn't even buy used games from them.

Fuck GameStop.

Actual employee here

You guys aren't hurting us one bit, all you are doing is selling us your games that we will sell you right back. "Oh hurr durr but the credit!" which you will use to buy more shit which you will inevitably trade back in

All you are doing is giving us money like blind idiots
>>
>>382751995
That only works if you believe the inventory they traded in was actually worth the amount in credit. (pro tip: it wasn't)
>>
>>382751995
hey, respect dude.

when you guys bring up our account, do you see our "history"? how much of it can you see? our trade history, our purchase history? or both?

I know you can see pre-orders.
>>
>>382752154
>A made up number we say its worth is not what we say its worth
You don't fucking say. It's almost like when you control what used games go for, you also control what they can be "worth"
>>
>>382746467
Oh, I see, you're one of "those special customers" that go "I wanna see your manager" at every opportunity that make shitty part time retail jobs of a college student feel like even more concentrated cancer. Amazing.

>>382752305
We can see literally everything. If you use a credit card we can track it, if you use cash but also have a gamestop card we can track it, if youre trading in some stuff we "think" is sketchy we take your info.

Outside of this deal we get calls from toystores and electronic stores all the time in case a nybody comes in with stolen merch.

Your info is very easy to find.

People put insane prices on ebay all the time that never sells. doesn't mean its worth that. and its not like gamestop has a captive market on new/used games.

gamestop is not going to make it to the next video game generation. you aren't going to make up those sales. Gamestop sees the writing on the wall and is shifting towards their cell phone and apparel/merch stores.

Your ID is for pawn laws. Gamestop can only look up your Power Up Rewards account. And the way our store does it is different than the guy who's responding to you -- we can only see the past five items purchased.

Easy there, autismo, you work for a retail store not the NSA.

GameStop is pretty much finished, to the point you have to fill one section with shitty video game merch. and another with beat up iPhones. You didn't think eating up profits from the companies giving you stock will keep you in business for long did you?

Don't really see why you care either, considering how they treat you worse than a cow slated for McDonalds.

I spent $2 in gas driving to GS to trade in a stack of old 360 games and some shitty Wii/Nintendo DS games that were somehow worth a bit of money. I made off with ~$185 in credit but I only got a $50 steam card for now.
