Best Buy's Game Trade-In Program

Post by BurningDoom »

Has anyone used them for trade-in values yet? I was liking the idea of trading in some of my lesser played games for some CDs.

Are their trading values similar to Gamestops? Better? Worse?

Trade values are better ;)

I work for the company on the district support side. A coworker of mine has traded a bunch of games in already.

Sure, I have no idea on the actual credit values but I know he has gotten a ton in gift cards.

I've looked at those prices, and although you do have to spend it in-store, they give amazing prices compared to Gamestop or anywhere else. The only better places are eBay and Amazon.... its beautiful. :cry:

No, that never happened, but there have been cases where I have been to game stores and this one is a true story:

Somebody was looking to sell their Wii, they were going to sell it for $75, I went behind him and said "I'll give you $85 cash" he couldn't pass that up and immediately sold it to me for that much. And with that system and 1 game to go along with it, I sold the bundle for $185 ( it was a $12 game I bought from someone for like $5 ) tadaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Are you sure you're on the right forum? :|

What platforms does Best Buy support for trade-ins? I doubt they do retro stuff, but I figured I'd ask.

This generation and I've had them take PS2/Gamecube/Xbox games before, but that just might be my local store.
