In short: I WANT YOUR JUNKY PS3/PSP/NINTENDO DS GAMES
(maybe)
Basically I WANT A NINTENDO WII!!! But brand new they're $466. OWCH. However, heres my idea: pay it with store credit!!!
Occasionally, we don't get the junky PS3/Nintendo DS/PSP games sold here (sometimes the good ones too  ) so you know, the ones that should be cheap as suddenly sky rocket to a $40 trade in (credit) value.
So OK, heres my deal. I buy your junky PS3/Nintendo DS/PSP games off of you that are very cheap and that you just can't seem to unload, and then I trade it in to get my Nintendo Wii.
THE GOAL- Get a Nintendo Wii for less than $200!!!
If anyone wishes to help me out, it will be much appreciated. Please list your junk here. Thank you. 
NOTE: Please no one feel bad for EB games. They scam heaps of New Zealanders regularly with shocking prices. I.e.
$130-120 is the norm for brand new PS3/Nintendo Wii/360 games
$110-120 is the norm for second hand ones
$80 is the norm for brand new Nintendo DS games
$70-75 is the norm for second hand ones
They like to do fantastic deals like a PS2 +15 games + $100 all to get you just one Nintendo Wii.
Don't want to pay $466 brand new for one? Why not buy it for $450 second hand? Thats just some of the lovely deals EB games does on a regular basis.
So just list your stuff and I'll check it out
Also note, its not like its because our dollar is weak. All these prices are in NZD (New Zealand dollars) but against the green back we get about 74-80 cents to a dollar. So theres no way they can justify this huge jump in price.
LIST OF SOME GOOD GAMES TO TRADE WITH ME
I will be adding to this list as I stumble upon them. For now, here are a list of good games to trade with me. E.g. if you find them in your local stores, you could pick them up and sell them off to me for a few extra dollars. - Yu-Gi-Oh GX games for DS and PSP INCLUDING World 2007 tour
- Lost in Blue 2
- The Sims 2 for DS or GBA
- Steel Horizon
- Marvel Trading Card game
These games are especially good, because from what I know they are some more "budget" titles over in the states, whereas here they are premium games.
LIST OF SUPPORTERS
Heres a list of people who've sold me their games!!! Thanks guys!!! ^_^ - sailorneorune - get even provided me with a free OBJECTION!!
- MightySlacker- awesome help with PS3 games! (Shesh I want one- maybe after the Wii we can get me even more junk to sell for PS3 money!)
- swordtut- Even gave me two free games

$120 for a 360 game? What?! Is the New Zealand dollar worth more than American dollars? Or are they equal? Cause that's freakin' insane!

Looking for something specific? Post it in the WANTED forum! |

They aren't equal, but the exchange rate is still VERY good. We get like, 74-80 cents to your dollar, and they still charge us double- and we tend to earn same salaries as you do, and they STILL charge us more

won't these games need to be PAL for your new zealand EB to take them? |
Windmill
| | #17 posted December 16, 2007 at 2:52pm (EDT) |
These systems are region free so they don't care, I've already traded in 2 American games when I stumbled across their shocking value (because no one would trade them with me outside of EB games here in NZ) of trade-in since they aren't considered to be very good games (They are Viewtiful Joe and Marvel Trading Card Game all for the DS) I just gave them the carts and kept the boxes and manuals for myself

Hey guys, for now I will hold off on getting anymore games until these ones that I've got coming arrive, for I have a LOT that are arriving! However once they arrive, and cash in the store credit (which should hopefully be no more than a week from now) I'll very likely be back on the hunt and checking lists |

Are you curious as to how I've managed to amass these funds? Well, some of the stuff I get isn't for me I do buy on behalf of my friends, but I do have a lot of money sitting in my bank.
One word for how: Mystery Shopping.
