Save Big On Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom With This GameStop Trade-In Offer (US)

Do you need cases and booklets to get the trade-in value? I have several of those games, don't play them anymore and would gladly trade them for Zelda. But I donate my cases and booklets to used game stores

Funny enough while I own most (though not all) of the games on that list the only one I own physically is Breath of the Wild. Unless you count Bayonetta 2 on Wii U anyway.

They want two games worth 25 and you still have to pay 20? Please guys, keep your games or sell your games on marketplace and use the vouchers!

Surprised by how many 3DS games are on that list.

@MannequinRaces 3DS games are going for top dollar and gamestop's inventory has been depleted for quite some time.

Wow, I might have to do this instead. The Last of Us Remastered on PS4 and original Pokemon Moon on 3DS are way under a $50 resell value. That's wild

@Johnion
Makes sense, subtracting the two games from TOTK price would have $20 remaining.

I will pay someone $30 for Bayonetta origins. That just came out!
Please don’t sell these games to GameStop…

No way, don't let them steal from you. This is not an offer, this is a rip-off. Metroid Prime just came out and it cost $40, not 20. They will take your Advance Wars for 20 as well, it didn't come out last friday for $50? Let them go bankruptcy

Spend the extra time and sell your games for cash. Nintendo games don’t go on sale often. Thats both bad and good for the market.

The value of used Nintendo Switch games effectively hold well because lack of sales. Games that are new usually sell for $80 CAD + tax, can easily be sold for $50 to $60 used, if in good condition. Heck, a lot of first party titles like BotW and Odyssey I bought used.

Two used games can be sold for $100 which in turn will cover a new Tears of the Kingdom ($90 + tax).

Also - don’t buy digital unless you have to…

Oh wow, a $70 game is just $20 when you trade in $50 or more in games. Just in case anyone was unable to count.

I'd much rather two of those games still be in my collection than have $50 tbh.

i could actually do it, got botw, bayo2, and ring fit as my only physicals, but i don't want to give any up besides maybe the og botw.

So.. sell both game second hand for 40$, use that to get 2 vouchers and buy TotK and one other Game for 20$.

i rather pay the $70 bucks then trade in 2 games on that list i still enjoy...

The deal is only worth it if you have 2 older games from the list. Octopath 2 and Advance Wars would be pretty silly as you'll make a lot more selling them yourself.

@blindsquarel Most of these games are definitely worth way more than $25.

@Johnion
I know that, I think I might have misunderstood @BTB20 comment. I meant that the math did add up to TOTK being $20 with the two games traded in. But that’s clearly not worth it or what he said in his comment.

@Cashews didn’t know there was still that big of a market for 3DS games! Interesting!

Ngl, this is kinda a bad deal. You have to trade in two games to be able to get only $50 on the game? Not even the full game?

Whatever 2 first party games you keep in your collection will be well worth beyond $50 5-10 years from now. The Switch is the last true physical console, so the cartridges are going to be worth a lot.

@MannequinRaces It is likely temporary - it is because they just took down the eshop - so prices spiked hard these past 6 months. Some of the games on that list - like Kid Icarus - go for over $150 regularly.

i saved money by buying the 2 game voucherr, which was good as i watned both the new zelda and xenoblade 3 saved roughly 30$

The partial list here doesn’t help me at all but the full list has a bunch of PS4 games that probably are on PS+ Extra and have very little trade in value b/c of that. Don’t think I need ACNH or Astral Chain anymore. I might even take $25 for Splatoon 3, I never play it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Don’t go by this list, read the full list on the link.

@blindsquarel Man, obviously I can do the math, the problem is that this represent absolutely no deal. Usually it wouldve been games worth 10 not 25. You'll give them games worth 40-45 used, twice, on top of 20, it's just crazy

@Axecon Are you aware there are a bunch of PS4 games on that list that are never going to be worth over $50? Even new PS5 games don’t hold their value that well as they go to PS+. I would never personally trade in any 3DS game though.

@rjejr You'll sell these games for 40 cash on marketplace

@rjejr Oh that's awesome, then it's a pretty decent deal! Yeah, PS and Xbox games usually don't hold their value unlike Nintendo games

@Axecon Don't take my word for it, see for yourself.

Wow, that is 1 long link. 😝

@Johnion Anyone paying $40 cash for 3 year old used game carts is doing it wrong.

@Johnion
I know, I literally made a comment saying that I misunderstood your original comment.

This seems like a decent deal if you happen to have some of those games and you're never going to play them again. Certainly, it would be worthwhile to find someone who would pay more than $25 for the games. But that's under the assumption they're games that aren't readily available and or aren't already priced in a way where someone is better off buying them new

@blindsquarel Did you know that at gamestop, if you give them a fifty dollar bill, they will give you fifty dollars off your next game? Insider tips.

Been a while since I've seen the old Gamestop trade in Gimmick.

Guess it depends on your situation. My kids have a bunch of these games. Beat. Sitting there collecting dust…they also don’t have the money for TOTK. So they want the deal!

@PlasmaticSnake believe me I wish I still had my NES, SNES, N64, Game Boy, and all the games and accessories. Won’t be getting rid of my Switch games, that’s for sure! Crossing my fingers the new console is backwards compatible but I doubt it will be.

I used a $10 coupon from Amazon- get it delivered to a locker…..then had some unused CC points…. Total cost was $5….

I scooped up a CIB Kid Icarus Uprising at my local GS because of this trade in promo. I’ll gladly pay $40 over $75+ on eBay any day of the week. I almost feel sorry for the poor sucker that traded it in for pretty much a $25 value…
