Thanks z24buddy for pointing out math errors on my part. Also added a 20% + 10% stack column in case they do. If they don't I will delete it.

Will there be an updated Gamestop to best buy flip spreadsheet tomorrow?

I'm working on it. It takes a long time to query because it is still a WIP and haven't optimized the code yet due to all the sales (Don't want to break it during this summer sale) and even still I have to heavily modify the raw spreadsheet to reflect various bonuses.

pretty much sounds like a part time job.

do you get paid for doing this? or you only get hugs and kisses? :bow:

blackbeard, could you please check if dark souls 3's used price is correct?

thanks for all the hard work!

 

[YawnAmuroYawn]

People like blackbeard is why cag is also called a community.

What sheet are you refering to?

What sheet are you refering to?

Sorry about that,

the Pro Day sheet.

Did a test trade in of Deadpool (X1) and GOW3 (PS4) to make sure I wasn't banned for tomorrow, I was able to trade, however I noticed the values in-store are totally off the website and app, Deadpool had a base of $13 and GOW3 had an $11 base, so they had to manually adjust them to $22 and $13.20 cash after PUR.

 

[blackbeard4886]

Finally got some time to do the BB movers

Should be correct as long as GS holds up their always 20% (10% normal + 10% PUR) lower used than new slogan.

That sounds disconcerting. They better have their stuff together tomorrow. It might just be a case of the bump not being applied yet.

Thanks again!

I have a new rule. Anyone who charges the $3 warranty without asking me, automatically gets all 0s on their survey.

As they should.

 

[Donut2922]

Since the real test will be tomorrow, there’s a chance the website/app were mixed up with last weekend’s stealth bump. The app was updated correctly last Saturday and the website finally updated on Sunday even though the values were in effect on Saturday. Values should be working tomorrow but Sukhi’s report has proven that the values and app aren’t tied together. One thing worth mentioning was that select stores did not offer the stealth bumps but that was a rare situation.

 

[josekortez]

Same with metal gear phantom pain

Glad I didn't wait to dump my copies for 360.

 

[TheCro]

Off-topic since buying ebay cards with credit is being phased out, but are there any specific ebay sellers you guys know of that consistently sell discounted gift cards? Restaurants/gas/retail/whatever. Just realized my ebay bucks I earned are about to expire so I need to spend them.

EDIT: Oh I guess there's a section for ebay gift card deals on the website. That's good enough for me.

EDIT: 5% ebay bucks if you buy something through the ebay app apparently.

 

[AndyD33]

I think those were cases where the store did their daily system refresh before the TIVs were updated in the system.

 

[Donut2922]

Interesting. I guess that means some stores may even be offering the stealth bumps today.

Does anybody know if the current $5 Pops will still be $5 tomorrow and than stack with the B1G1 50% off? Thinking about getting some of the Star Trek: TNG ones.

Pops went back up a few days ago.

Or not? They were all $9 again the other night when the ad updated.

Going to be salty if they're still $5 tomorrow since I bought 13 over the last week with the trade bonus.

I saw this one in store for $5 and $5 right now on the site. I don't see the $5 pops going back up, pretty sure they want those gone, mostly older pops.

http://www.gamestop.com/collectibles/toys/pop-heroes-batman-v-superman-aquaman/127462

and in the related items on the page a bunch of the other $5 pops.

 

[ManClub]

Does the 20% coupon just work on 2 games or does it take 20% off 3 or more games?

 

[sovereignNX-73811]

It'll apply to multiple games. You'll be fine.

After the ad ended they all went back to $8.98 or whatever it normally is on their site. I even ordered one at that price to replace one I had gotten that was kind of malformed.

Maybe I can get lucky and get a return/rebuy on a couple of them at least. #salt

 

[GamerDude316]

Yeah good call on the pops, in for a return/rebuy at least.

 

[amusedtoe]

I should probably start looking for receipts now...

SHIT!   Just tried doing some trades today and found out I was banned on all 3 of my accounts.   I'm really annoyed about losing all my PUR points, I hope they show up when I'm un-banned.    I'm pretty sure it was multiple uses of the retailmenot coupon that did me in.   So be careful if you are using those.   Between the 3 accounts I stayed under all my 4 per game limits and $500 cash trades.

Please elaborate on what you mean by "multiple".

 

[Kyle1022]

Took a couple Wii games in today with some light scratches (not big or deep enough to get refurbed). One had a case, one was disc only in a sleeve. Watched the pad during the trade in and he refurbed the one with no case.

Me: "Oh, if you're gonna refurb that one then I'll just hang onto it."

Employee: "Yeah it's because it didn't have the case."

Me: "Really? On the website it says that you give the same value whether or not the game has the case."

Employee: "Yeah well it's hard to sell games without the case, they pretty much have to be pristine for us to take them."

Me: "Hmm, then why does this store throw away all Wii cases regardless, unless the games cost $20 or more?"

I just smiled and left as he looked dumbfounded and muttered incomprehensibly. Gotta love when employees just make shit up as they go and get caught with their pants down.

 

[YawnAmuroYawn]

Sometimes gs finds way to link the accounts. Its not from the retailmenot coupon. Ive had dummy accounts banned for too many coupon usages and those accounts were still able to do trade ins with no issues. Those 2 things are separate. The only other possibilities are an employee calling loss prevention and they banning your accounts after reviewing the history.

Does your district require ID? If so, the system is smart enough to link your ID-linked PUR accounts. So trading in 3 on one account and 2 on another account actually aggregates to 5 which would lead to a ban to all linked accounts.

Did you check the PUR website for them? Usually trade ban =/= points gone.

Points are only lost if they completely nuke the account(s) which means they don't even show up when they scan the card.

If your points are gone you aren't just banned, the accounts have likely been burnt to the ground.

 

[Gdogg]

Yeah, my points are gone.   Nothing showed up when scanning the cards.    All 3 accounts were linked to different drivers licenses.  I use my friends as mules sometimes.   Oh well, good thing I live in an area that doesn't require ID.  Time to make 3 new accounts

 

[Gdogg]

Please elaborate on what you mean by "multiple".

I've used the coupon 3 times on 2 of my accounts and twice on my other one.

 

[godofwar7]

so exactly how many times did you use the coupon?

 

[amusedtoe]

If using coupons multiple times gets you auto banned I would have joined the glitter throwing guy a long time ago.

 

[esalw822]

Can confirm that eBay cards are dead in SoCal (borderline LA/OC area specifically).  System wouldn't let a trade-in or my PUR card count toward the sale.  This was at a store that I bought one from just a few days ago too.  RIP.  Gonna try Shell cards tomorrow to make sure those are still up and running.

I went to one store and they tried to pull that too. She said it takes resources to buy a case and print a cover, so they refurb it. She "confirmed" this by going to the back and calling a manager (or some other type of higher up). I said no thanks and took them somewhere else and I burned her on the survey.

The DM called me and confirmed that she should have taken them and that he would speak to her about it. I haven't gone back but I hope I don't have issues next time.

I suppose it's possible your ID is not banned but your PUR accounts are nuked. If you were trade banned, the ID you used at the time of trade is only linked in addition to any other ID's you used with that PUR account before. So even if you used your friend's ID to your second account recently, the system will link two ID's (your friend's ID and your own ID) to the second account if you ever traded in with your own ID before your recent trade.

Yeah I would do that but it's at one of the few GS's I frequent, and I see that guy quite a bit. Gotta keep the target off my back as much as possible :/

 

[Kyle1022]

Had a question about Redbox games. I know they always have those stickers on the inner ring of the disc that you're able to get off, but has anyone seen where they have "Redbox" printed all around the outer ring of the disc in red lettering? Is it possible to get that off?

 

[argyle]

I have a new rule. Anyone who charges the $3 warranty without asking me, automatically gets all 0s on their survey.

I feel the same about anyone who switches the case I bring up to the register with another one out of the drawer without telling me & letting me see it. My local guys are all very cool & wouldn't pull that crap, but I was one town over today and someone did it to me.

Oh I hate that, especially if you go over the copies on the floor picking out the best one.
