Did I make a mistake?

TacosTacos · 06-12-2007, 03:56 PM

I traded in some old DS games yesterday. I ended up with about $30, after renewing my discount card at the store. Firstly, I know I probably should have used Ebay, but...I didn't....this is what I did. I used the trade in value to get a used copy of WiiPlay, which was $30. Then, after I checked out, I realized that Big Brain is coming out today. I played WiiPlay last night and liked it, but don't know if it will last. Should I take it back? I would have to pay an extra $20 for Big Brain. I guess I was just excited to get WiiPlay cause you could use the Mii's, and I didn't have to pay anything extra for it. I was also looking at Mario Part 8, which would also be an extra $20 since they didn't have any used ones.

What do I do?

Get Mario Party, Fun for the family/friends

lol, I thought this was going to be.

Did I make a mistake by having such a long forum avatar name.

I've not played WiiPlay, doesn't really appeal. Did you get the free controller with it?

Yeah
No free Wiimote = You made one hell of a mistake

I made one hell of a mistake

I think they may have a trade in policy that I can use within 24 hrs.

I guess I will find out today???

Edit: Okay. I just talked to them. They said I have 7 days to return it, so I think I will take it back to get Brain Age. I guess I kinda just got a free rental.

Don't buy the Big Brain Academy there. It is $40 at CircuitCity this week.

Thanks for the tip billcsho!!!

billcsho · 06-12-2007, 06:22 PM

You are welcome. It seems CircuitCity gives $10 on new release games. The same happened to Mario Party 8 a couple weeks ago. Save extra 10% with AAA coupon discount and 5% DiscoverCard bonus cash back too.

read the rules please. =)

Even I would have given you more than 30$ for a fat DS.
Are you saying Wiiplay was 30$ without the Wiimote? Thats just way too much. I really like the game and I even think game is worth about 10$

I sold DS GAMES, not the actual DS. And, yes, the Wii Play was $30 without the remote, and it was used.

I feel like the guys at the store kinda tricked me.

ciper · 06-12-2007, 09:51 PM

Oh you traded old games. Thats not so bad.
I'm pretty sure the 7 day return policy means you have to buy another game. If that is the case what are you going to get?

billcsho · 06-12-2007, 09:55 PM

No, they did not trick you. It is their customer who traded in a cheap game (e.g. Far Cry) and a Wii Play in exchange for a new Wii game last month. They just sell used game at a set price whatever they got from the trade-in. There were many discussion on how to get the Paper Mario for less than $30 using the trade-in method.
How many DS game you've traded in for $30? I would love to buy some DS game as my daughter just won a DS lite from a raffle ticket draw at school last week.

You got ripped off for $30 for a used copy of WiiPlay. Retail the game is $49.99 with a FREE $40 wiimote. The package was honestly just an easy way to score a wiimote with a bonus $10 game. That game honestly only lasted a night for me. Tanks is a pretty awesome game with friends all the time though.

TacosTacos · 06-13-2007, 02:48 PM

Well. I traded in 4 games for $30. But two of them were so bad that I don't know what else I could have done with them. A poker game, and the Monopoly, Boggle, Yatzee, Battleship combo, and Need For Speed, and something else, I can't remember.

I actually really like the Wii Play. A buddy and I played laser hockey for a long time last night. And since the Big Brain is only $40 at Circut City, I guess I will get that, instead of paying $20 after trading in Wii Play.

I didn;t need a new remote, and yes I need to trade in for a new game.

I thought that it would be

"did I make a mistake for being a flaming idiot with a record number of accounts"

billcsho · 06-13-2007, 05:37 PM

Frys also has Big Brain Academy on sale at $39.99 with free shipping too in case it is OOS in CC.
