I know we have quite a few Gamestop employees on the boards here, so I was wondering if someone (i.e. one of them) could give me a rough estimate of what I would receive on trade ins on the following for the Xbox 360:
Rock Band Drums
Rock Band
Guitar Hero 2 with wired guitar
Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock

Sell all that stuff to them, you could probably buy yourself one whole used controller.

I was planning on getting Madden '09, or at least trying to. I may have to call them before I waste my precious gasoline going out there. That is if they even try to help me over the phone.

They give $20 extra for selling three games for the same system.

Since you are including controllers, I dunno.
However, you should get around 40 or so for just 3 games.

Trade in Values @ Gamestop? crappy and a rip off. They may as well just spit in your face while they're at it. |

You're better off selling that stuff on eBay.

Please don't trade into GS. They give you dirt for your trades, and really jack up the prices. It's a terrific business model, but they rape the customers up the ass.

As a GameStop employee I say the following... We do not trade in the Rock Band drums. Sell the rest on eBay. I'm not afraid to tell customers that don't like the trade-in prices to sell online. I don't like the prices either. It's when the customer will sit there and bitch for 12 minutes about how "they bought this game for $50, they should get $50 back" that gets on my nerves. So yeah, sell online. Only go to GameStop if you're looking for a quick alternative and price is no matter. Freebird, as a former Gamestop employee, I can tell you that if they are busy, they likely won't give you the value over the phone. It varies from store-to-store what employees will do over the phone. Some won't give prices over the phone (which is company policy, since the prices could change day-by-day). But some stores (like ours) will give you the price if it's like 1 or 2 games. I had one guy once ask me for the trade-in value for a Halo edition 360 system. We gave him the price and the very next day when he came in to trade it in, the value of it dropped by $70. THAT is why we're not technically supposed to give prices out over the phone. But for the most part, we're evil and love your money.  |

Anyone who thinks that is a moron and it would piss me off too. I definatly don't expect to get full price back, but I'm not gonna spend 50 bucks on a game and trade it in for 10 bucks. |

It was supposed to be 2 weeks ago but it didn't come out, and the morons at the GameStop here say they've "never heard of it" and that its not even in the computer. Bulls***, says I. |

If you have a CD Tradepost around your area. Try there. They'll probably give you more there, but I personally would just go the Ebay wrought.
