When does the doom and battledore sale end? Hopefully not tomorrow cause I cant make it until Thursday.

From my Google search, it says the weekly under $40/30/20 are valid until the 31st. I hope a GS employee he can confirm.

Sale ends Sunday night

No you can do 3 but it isn't always easy finding a GameStop with 3 each per platform.

Even if they do I'm not quite sure they'll sell you more than 1 copy per platform. One time an employee refused to sell me 2 copies of he exact same game a couple of years back. Not sure if this is store policy, maybe he was just BS'ing me...

 

[Brenex]

I've had values tank while I was at best buy once, it was about 7PM Hawaii time which is like 1AM eastern.

I think this was the issue: it was 1AM EST. I don't think if I go to best buy at 2pm EST it might change by 3pm EST unless someone else can chime in?

System won't block it. I don't see why they would deny you giving them money *shrug*

TIV bump over.

The 20% for buying a collectible?

 

[Vigilante]

The 20% for buying a collectible?

No, the random bump that a lot of games got (e.g., Star Fox Zero, Super Mario Maker, Left 4 Dead 2).

Star fox zero shows the same value as yesterday, $25.

 

[Pengy99]

Star fox zero shows the same value as yesterday, $25.

Star Fox was $30 yesterday. Got $39 each for the two copies of it and Mario Maker I traded with 20% collectible bump and PUR.

ah my mistake, must have been something else I traded in.

If you bring it up, do you think will they adjust the price?

RIP Preowned Guarantee

It's like that for quite a few games (Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Yoshi's Woolly World, Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer, and some others I'm forgetting), and arguing with the employees to price adjust a used copy accomplishes nothing, even though the guarantee is plastered on a giant poster in the store. False advertising anyone?

I would hope so.

Bad news for Trade Credit to Ebay gift cards in NYC...

 

[bonesawisready]

So mad that values tanked today on games I was going to trade tomorrow after they got bumps yesterday. Tomb raider went down $10, Persona Q and Monster Hunter went down like $4-$6 each from their Monday bumps

Should have traded yesterday but I thought "lol why raise it one day only to lower it the next".

They should honor it, their terms state:

If a purchased product does not satisfy the guarantee, Customer’s sole remedy is a refund of the difference in the price paid and the guaranteed price, plus an additional 5% of the new in-stock retail price offered at the time of purchase. Subject to availability by location. Prices subject to change. While supplies last. Cannot be combined with any other offer. See store associate for details. No dealers.

But then again:

GameStop, Inc. reserves the right to cancel, terminate, modify or suspend the offer for any reason without notice.

You obviously missed my post yesterday when I quoted you and said the bumps happened on Saturday...

I don't know about the 3ds games, but tomb raider got bumped on Saturday so it was just a weekend stealth bump.

Some people ignore everything around them including helpful advice. Nothing you can do about it, but continue to hear them whine that something didn't go their way.

[ChronoSlayer]

How often do weekend stealth bumps occur? Are they usually on the 4th week/end of the month?

 

[fluffynumkins]

usually last weekend of the month

 

[Brenex]

usually last weekend of the month

Someone may have to correct me but I think last month we didn't have a stealth bump after 3ish months of consistent end-of-the-month bumps so YMMV

 

[dieselsoccer]

We had one, but it was different. Some games got bumped. A lot more tanked in value.

Is trading in for cash same as credit thing new?

No. It's been going for over a week now.

Of course Mario Makers show up today when they should have been here yesterday but UPS didn't bother to pick them up for three days.

funny thing, i ordered 2 games on friday, the usps order was delivered yesterday, ups says thursday.

 

[skateraXVIII]

Was ripping the plastic wrap off one of the games I was going to trade in at gamestop when I realized I should probably check the app for the trade in value. Low and behold, pretty much all the values tanked (I hadn't read the last page until just now, and luckily looked at the app before tearing the plastic wrap off all the games).

Am now left with like 20 games that I'll probably just sell on amazon or ebay:/

Jesus man I just missed a single quote. Sorry I didn't see his reply in the past 24 hours due to work. Didn't have to make a statement like that.

I'm just peeved I didn't go with my first instinct to trade yesterday. No ones fault but mine. Thanks to the original poster who pointed the Saturday bump out but sadly I didn't see that until today.

I've been screwed by waiting one day too. I always just suck it up and get it done unless it's completely unavoidable.

Thanks blackbeard! You rock! I sent you a $5 tip for all your hard work and encourage others to do the same.

One suggestion: If you freeze the game title column on the left so it stays as you scroll it would make it easier for those who have small laptop monitors such as myself.

I'm confused. I still see the bumped value for Rise of the Tomb Raider on gamestop.com and the app. Is it less in store?

 

[Miami Flash15]

eBay has a pre-owned $25 GameStop GC for $20.75 (17% off)

X1 version shows as 17 in my app, it was 25 during the bump.

Thanks for the feedback, I just added this feature to the sheets.

Do you have a link?

I have a question, my PUR pro is set to expire tomorrow. Does that mean it expires at the start of the day, the exact time I signed up or during the end of the day?

 

[Nick51705]

Thanks for this. This is really helpful for me since I use the Sheets app on iOS.

I will try to do it next time

It apparently was 25 Saturday through Monday today it is 17

 

[Deader2818]

So to clear up, the 10/20 cheaper doesn't apply to games that are on clearance.

 

[chnandler_bong]

Very YMMV depending on the manager. I have reasonable luck getting them to do it. The two times the app and in store had different values I got the higher value but both times it took an argument.

In my experience (and everyone else's that has mentioned in this thread IIRC) it isn't very YMMV at all, they just flat don't honor it.

There's always a chance, but most likely we won't--these weekend bumps tend to happen towards the end of a given month.

A few of my games lost value overnight (I was fully expecting a drop overnight tonight though) , but I'm still hopeful for another bump before the end of the month.

 

[amusedtoe]

I've had them honor it like two or three times before and all on the same day at that.  It was a few months ago during a bump during a cash promo where there wasn't any promos to stack and was only one game that was like $1 off.

As a multiple time donator, may I make a suggestion:

Instead of having the boomerang credit all the way at the last column, can you move it so it is the first column (after the game title and console)? On some of the sheets you have ALOT different columns and it is a PIA(esp on mobile) to scroll that far to the right to see the most important information that we actually need!
