I'm not sure if you realize how influential this series has been to people, Rick. Everytime you show off a new trick, I notice other game hunters in the community following suit. I started hunting since you started making this series and I'm sure hundreds to thousands of other people have as well. When you made that video showing you trading a lite switch for old collections I immediately started seeing tons of Lite switches up for trade in my community. You've done a lot of good with this series, Rick and I thank you.

I agree! Gamestop will try and sale you a "brand new" game that has been opened by one of their employees. I got really upset last black friday when I ordered Crackdown 3 for like $12.00 but when I picked it up guess what it was a opened new copy! Luckily 2 or 3 days later Target marked it down around that same price so I finally got me a brand new sealed copy of Crackdown 3. I don't order online from Gamestop anymore and I always ask do you have this game "brand new" sealed when I purchase any new games from the store.

I know many have commented on getting banned for trading in so many of the same game at GameStop but I wanted to post this to clarify. The general consensus is you can trade in up to 4 copies of the same game in a rolling 30-day window. There's also a dollar limit on trades that can get you flagged as well. I had a 90-day ban last year for trading in one-too-many copies of wii sports :( Another thing to be aware of, very often on the last friday of the month they'll have a stealth bump in values. They will not advertise the bump in trade values so you have to check to be sure but that's probably why Rick had that decrease on Black Ops II the day before - that stealth bump window is only good from Friday to Sunday usually.

Not sure if any one has mentioned it but 1. Gamestop has a limit of the same game getting traded in 4 times in a rolling 30 days. After that you'd get a traded ban. 2. If you trade games in and pre order certain games (usually the big ones coming out) you'll get a trade boost of 10% extra. Usually I'll put $5 toward the game, take the rest in trade credit on my card and then keep doing that each time I bring in some trades. Sometimes I'll keep the game, sometimes I'll move the credit toward something else I want.

Yeah, I have a box of older games that I was probably just going to give away or throw away and he got me interested into looking into their value. So I grabbed one game from the box, Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball, and figured that it wouldn't be worth more than a couple bucks and it's worth like $15-20 which isn't too bad. So now I want to sell off all of my older stuff that I don't want anymore and get some newer games and systems and get into reselling because it looks really fun.

Well I have no bad feelings towards Gamestop. My wife and I visit our local Gamestops at least one every 2 to 3 weeks. We also visit other local game stores too, but for me GameStop is sorta nostalgic. Been a gamer and collector since the early 80s. So after Funcoland, KB toys and Hills department stores all shutdown in the mid to late 90s, Gamestop was the place to go for me. Good times and memories.

Will go sometimes to get a few cheap games though when they have a preowned deal. Also, I used to get games at GameStop that said trade hold on them all the time. They always forget to take off the sticker when no one comes to claim the game when they reserved it.

You decided to take the game bro. They didn't force you. You could have gone somewhere else. If that happens it means its the very last copy available and GS has to open 1 copy to use as the display case for the wall. They always tell you, or they should, that thats what it was used for. If they don't then thats not great, but thats the policy. So, you saw it and decided to take it anyways, so don't complain about it. Free will brother.

Doing this i got myself a boxed assassins creed 1 collectors edition, boxed tales of berseria collection, castlevania on gba, a ton of anime dvds, operation wolf, dr mario, and a whole lot of other stuff just from 2 trade ins i did.

I've been reading some of the comments. Believe it you can flip and trade to get games and systems for nuthin'! A few years back there was a Gold Edition PS4 (very limited) available. I put a preorder in and when it released I brought appx. 14 or 16 games -all doubles from different systems and recent gens. I traded them and used a bunch of points and got it for free. Plus an extra controller so I recouped my preorder payment.

I did the same thing a couple weeks ago. I traded in a bunch of Mario Karts, Sports/Resort and NSMB. The guy let me trade in 3 Karts and 3 Sports. I had a couple more, but we didn't want to push the system. I also traded them in for Mario 3D All-Stars, so I got 20% extra trade credit. Also, one time an employee told me to trade in twords a pre-order, so I could get the extra credit and then cancel my pre-order. I've done that a few times, but I don't abuse it. I don't know if that is a bannable offense, if you continue to do it repeatedly.

Retro Rick yeah thanks I had a lot of rare games and he downplayed it and I told him I can wait for him for a better time and day and I had a meeting I had to go to. He clearly didn’t state his price and now I over paid him and lose a lot of my games and at that point I would think about quitting video games and only go digital because it was too stressful. He was asking for more games if I had any and I said no I would not trade anymore since I felt rip-off and rushed. Just don’t like to rush things and trying to make a good deal for both of us but it felt extremely one sided since he was in a different state
