I got a small flyer in a community newspaper today for the local Game Crazy store (I'm near Cincinnati). I would have thrown it out like any other GC flyer, but something caught my eye.
In the bottom left, there was a box that displayed trade-in values for specific titles. Displayed in the "These are worth $22" row was none other than Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty for Playstation 2.
A Greatest Hits title that you can pick up used at Gamestop for close to $8.
I took my copy up to the store and asked to trade it in. The guy offered me $1.68 in trade, then I showed him the ad. He couldn't believe his eyes-and gave me $22 in trade for it, no questions or bickering.
What's more, the back of the ad has coupons for 20% off new and used games/accessories. By using the coupon and the trade-in credit, I can get Ninja Gaiden for less than $20? Yes yes yes!
Keep in mind you'll have to have an ad for them to honor it!
