How long is the store credit this deal gets you good for? I don't really need anything from Target and I already bought Drakengard 3 this week which leaves no other PS3 games to pick up now so I was thinking I'd just store it away until I feel a PS4 is actually worth shelling out the money for. And well... that could be a while.

He's asking how long the gift card is good for, not how long the deal lasts.

I don't know yet, I'm stopping omw home today.

The deal is good until Saturday, or if I trade my games in my credit is only good until Saturday? That is what Vorph was asking.

Is it not national law that make it illegal for gift cards to expire?

They give you a gift card and as far as I know in the US gift cards are no longer allowed to expire.

I double checked a lot of titles on eBay and most are actually selling more there. Not sure if it's worth it to trek to East Bay to sell GTA V for $50.

I think people forget about the fact that Ebay and Paypal are going to set you back about 10% and then there's shipping costs as well since most people expect free shipping.

The target deal is just convenient, sure in some examples like Baldurs Gate 2 Ebay is superior and you'd be dumb not to take advantage of it, but for the majority of sales I'd rather just drop them at Target instead of having to list them up, and then ship them out.

Took me a few trips to make the trade ins with their system being down half the time and trying to catch the one employee in the store that works mobile... But totally worth trading mostly old ass GameCube /ps2 games for enough to get a mario kart wii u bundle and pro controller next week! Awesome deal.

Yeah it was great. Today I went in and got rid of Killzone and NBA 2k14 for PS3 along with Dark Souls 2 for PS3. $131.39 or something. They gave me 48 for 2k14. Suckers. Ended up impulse buying wolfenstein for PS4 because at this point it is technically free. Bought that, they gave me another 10 dollar gift card. Going back tomorrow and will sell 3 GC games for another $45.00. And back again Saturday for another 65. Will be able to preorder watchdogs for PS4 with some extra gift card cash (quite a bit at that point should still have $125 left) to use on future games.

The deal rocks. Not sure how they are making any money on this. The used games I bought for the GC were cheaper. I'll make 5 bucks a pop. Ha

I'm hoping they do it every couple months or something - it's a really great promotion - so nice getting something close to real cash for used games especially at the ratio.

I wish I wasn't one of those faggots that never trades in games. Even games like Killzone or some PS2 games that I will never play again.

I've been trying to do that but after having to foot $30k for the wife's surgery until an insurance tangle is rectified, I changed my tune. Hard to justify the $500 gaming budget when you've spent a house down payment worth of cash, if only temporarily.

Hell, we're using it to extend the food budget some ATM since I'm leery to cash out investments for a temporary loss. (PS Never have a car accident right before major surgery that is unrelated to the accident - nightmare...)

She was already naturally large to the point she talks about reduction - it's possible they're part of why she needed this surgery though. (Was neck-related - three bulging discs were starting to push on her spinal cord - fun times with neurosurgery)

Made $80 yesterday. Wish I took advantage of this earlier. Some GameCube games were going for over $30.

That's some shit luck.

We just bought a house so I'm not allowed to spend money on anything. Even then.. what would I buy at Target.

Mine's the reverse, giving up this house soon (that I inherited from the parents - although "giving up" is a loose term, getting a rental agency for it and turning it into passive income) and had to use the down payment we've got saved up for the house buy for the Florida move for this temporarily.

But yea, it's obnoxious Medicare doesn't want to pay it yet because the auto insurance is supposed to cover everything first (even though the limit is $2k) but this isn't directly related to the accident so they don't want to pay it either - fun times. Probably could kite it along and not pay it - but with the house buy late this year/early next year I don't want to risk credit rating dropping from being cheap when I can afford to handle it - rather be out the interest on that money than having to pay a higher rate on the home loan.

If medicare is involved the insurance companies are required to send medicare a letter stating bills/treatment note received are not related to the accident, it is a clunky process due to being new as of maybe 2 years ago so it takes a seasoned motivated adjuster and some luck medicare actualy looks at it to update her file. Send all the bills to your car insurance and then you can send the denials/Explanation of benefits(EoB) to medicare yourself.
