Gamestop Updates Their System Trade In Values - Get $100 For Your PS Vita And $125 For Your PS3
If you're currently a PowerUp Rewards member at Gamestop, they have updated their trade in values list for all of the systems, including a $125 credit for your PS3.
(3DS, GameStop, Nintendo DS, PS Vita, PS2, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360)
Nothing new here. Remember the video of the guy who got COD MW early? He tried to sell it before release date unopened and they said they would give him $24 for it. That is the craziest evidence you can get for how crazy it is. $24 for a game not even released publicly yet unopened right in front of them "how much can I get for this?" and to hear $24.... I want to know who makes the rules for this..
Game stop won't take a game that is unopened (wrapper still on). I just tried last week. They will tell you to bring it back "another day" with it opened. its against store policy. You can't even open it there to give it to them.
Gamestop is instant cash that has to be resold for profit. Ebay will take longer, but you will get more money than simply pawning at at Gamestop. Got to weigh in whether you want fast cash for less or more cash for a longer wait (plus you have to pay to ship it). There are pros and cons for each depending on the situation.
^ The mark-up is consumer rape, plain and simple. They'll give you like ten bucks for your games and then sell them used for five dollars off retail. It's really crazy.
Why so many disagrees? its true. If you have the patience, you will make more selling on ebay or Craiglist. You only benefit from GS if you wait for the 3/5/7 game trade bonuses.
That's only if you are a Power Up Rewards member. My friend took his Vita with Modnation, Mortal Kombat, and Resistance and they only wanted to give him $60.
I used to trade exclusively to amazon and now they have trade in prices like GameStop. .25 cents for ps3 game trade ins? I've got a 60gb backwards compat ps3 I'm thinking about unloading. Don't play the ps2 games anymore so I might as well unass it to someone who can use
lol, i sold them a broken ps3 controller missing battery, board is fucked, and the conductive film is ripped and they gave me $27 cash =) my own way of saying fuck you
I want Funcoland and EB Games back, at least they weren't as big of a ripoff; Gamestop where I live is the LAST place anyone goes to selling-wise, buy wise they do have some good deals but only if your pro 360 (Again where I live).
Why do people get bent on what gamestop is offering? No one is forcing you to go there, they will change when people stop selling them their Near new ps vitas for $100.
The Gamestop robots broke into my home and kidnapped me until I agreed to sell my items at Gamestop.
True story.
Gamestop is just a pawn shop with a specialty. No one has to like their offers. It's fast cash or credit. Gamestop has to pay far from retail to make money reselling it. It's that simple. If you'd rather sell it yourself to the end-user, cool, spend more time and get more money...welcome to capitalism.
i have a 40gb cechg ps3 that is still running but i want to upgrade to the newer one just so i can get warranty & peace of mind. I would love to sell my used ps3 on ebay for $200+ but my model has been selling for $130-$140 on ebay. Im willing to fork out $50 for a newer system but not $100+ oh well.
Burn it out and call sony telling them your ps3 fried. If you have no Warranty, they will offer you a new slim for $122 USD replacement I believe.. better than trying to sell it for more than what it sells now.
Amazon is usually very fair with their trade in prices even though you don't get cash. I try to never step foot inside of a Gamestop! I did get Mass Effect 3 for $20 there though.

They have the right to do this but its not right!
for a PS3 you can get $200+ (i sold my PS3 Fat backwards compatible for $250)
PSVitas are selling for $220+ also and most of them come with 8GB memory cards and accessories.
GameStop is the worst place to sell your stuff.
i've seen 60GB ps3's going for up to $400 recently
lol... they couldn't care less. They just work there, they don't own the place.
gamestop is essentially a pawn shop. they need to make money. they dont negotiate like pawn shops.
its a business.
