I don't expect to get money from it, only to have it taken away from me and I don't want to trash it (I always feel this weird attachment to objects, have a hard time trashing almost anything that isn't wrapping).

Soo? Cables, hard drive and all that stuff works perfectly, and the XBOX itself might be repairable.

Pretty sure they don't officially take them but the right employee might take it to take it for personal use.

I hope I'll get a good price for my stuff though..

Mass Effect
Dragon Age
Halo 3 : Collector Edition
SSF4 (guess obsolete now?)
Tales of Vesperia
Bayonetta
Bioshock 2
Eternal Sonata
Wireless Controller
60GB Hard Drive
64MB Memory Card

Well, I don't expect that much, but if I can pay off my Dark Souls pre-order I,d be happy.

This sounds stupid, but it depends on the store

we used to not accept busted systems, but now we do, and we just put a refurbishing fee on it. usually its half the worth of the system. so if we can give you 50 bucks for the system, the fee will be 25.

now if the xbox is straight up red ringed, I can assure you no one will accept it. I'll take it though >___>

but keep this in mind, if you ARE gonna trade in a system, you have to have the original cables, AND a controller, AND the original battery back (the one that takes AA batteries), THEN they'll take it from you. So if that controller you're wanting to trad ein is the one that came with the system, you can't trade it in separately. and if you don't have the battery pack, then they can't take the system.

Also, We're running a deal where if you trade in 7 or more games, you'll get an additional 30% store credit on top of the price they offer you. as long as the games get you 3 dollars or more each

I'm sure you'll have enough for Dark Souls

also, I'll take Eternal Sonata off your hands! >_>


also, keep this in mind, we're ALSO running another deal where if you put your Store credit towards a used game, you get 50% percent additional store credit. so if you need a couple of more bucks for your preorder, then buy a cheapass PS2 game for a dollar and you'll get that extra 20% on top of your original 30% from the 7 games deal

and your power up card stacks ontop of all of this

As long as it can turn on and run for about a minute they will

my xbox overheated after 10 minutes of play but all they did was plug it in and check for like 30 seconds then turn it off

sweet deal

Alright that sounds pretty cool.

Well I don't remember if the controller that came with the console was wired or not, I want to keep the wred one though for my PC, still have the battery pack for the wireless one, and the cables and all that stuff. The hard drive came separately though, so will I get a price for it or will they just count it as if it came with the console?

I think it depends, sometimes it lasts a minute or 2, sometimes it doesn't.

I'll tell them though.

Heh 20 bucks is enough, I could just give them I don't really care since it's completely useless now. If they offer money I'll take it though, sure.

Oh yeah, original case, manual, CD looks good and as far as I know it still works, not that I can test it now !

And yeah, I'm still a bit reluctant when it comes to sell stuff by internet, well more because of the mailing part.

Sell stuff on eBay or craigslist. You'll get at least twice as much as what gamestop would give you.

Yeah, and it's not because I'm scared of not being paid , it's because I'm scared the thing I ship will never get to destination.

B8er or not doesn't change a thing there !

But I,ll go sell my stuff tomorrow, except for Eternal Sonata, I still have 7 games so I'll have the 30% bonus, then if we can work something out I'm down.

Dude, how much are you expecting to get? That looks like a solid collection of games.

Well, I don't expect that much, but if I can pay off my Dark Souls pre-order I,d be happy.

Like, by this do you mean you would be okay with $60? Because that's absurd. Don't get rid of this stuff for that cheap.

You know the post office has been doing this sort of thing for a very long time, right? I've been selling things on eBay for years and not a single thing has not made it to its destination.

Too late ! All sold, got more than enough to pre-order Dark Souls so I'm happy, it's all I wanted.

I got 80 bucks actually, not much either but I don't care.

I've never really cared much about money, maybe it's a bad habit but that's how I am, as long as I can survive I'm alright.

And it's in-store credit anyway, 60 or 80 don't make much difference since I buy stuff from gamestop like once every two years.

did you do what I said and bought a 1 dollar PS2 game and got in on that extra 20% stacking with your 30% from the trade ins and the 10% with your card?
