Video Game Trade In program

Anyone done this yet? If you have, did you check the possible prices you would get on their trade in website RIGHT before you went? How true were those price quotes? According to that website, I should get nearly $140 back for my games I'm trading in for a gift card. If this is truly how it's going to be, that will be so helpful for Christmas! Thanks for any help.

We just signed up for this last week. We were pleasantly surprised by what they offered for the couple games that my DH wanted to get rid of. I compared what the games were going for on Ebay and after listing fees, final value fees and PayPal fees, we would get MORE from Toys R Us.

I printed the invoice offer and since our offer was over $10, we were able to print a free shipping label. They received them a couple days ago, so I should be getting the giftcard by next week. I think the website will update once they load the giftcard so I'll be able to see if we get what they quoted. And we definitely should get what they quoted because their isn't a mark on any of the games. I will report back once I find out more info!

And I agree...it's definitely gonna come in handy for Christmas!

I just got a confirmation email and I should be receiving our giftcard within 3-5 days and the amount loaded onto it is what they quoted! I should have it just in time for Black Friday!!!

TYSM for posting this!! DH had a ton of PS2 games that he wanted me to put on Craigslist, so I called him and told him about the TRU trade in. If all holds true, we'll get back close to an $80 GC!! I couldn't believe a couple of his games were $14 trade in!

Yay! That's great!

Well, it was close to what we were quoted. In the store, they won't take games w/o a box, but they will on the website. Some of our games we bought used to begin with and they never had the box, so I'm going to mail those in, so that was different, but I still got $120 on a gc. Such a blessing!!

Oh wow, I didn't realize you could take them into the store. I must have missed that part on the site. I thought it was just for mail in. I will remember that for next time.

Glad you had such a positive experience with it!
