EB Games Preowned Sale Print
Bargains - EB Games
Written by Anthony   

Update: Please see our Recommended Trade Bait article.

Earlier this week we reported that EB Games was having a 'Buy 2 get 1 free' sale. The sale has started and if you are curious you can check prices on their website.

Update Finished: Thanks to Casshern for pointing this out. You can pick up Gears of War, Fight Night Round 3 and Bomberman: Act Zero for a total of $49.90 ($45 with EDGE card) and trade them in at JB Hi-Fi for any of their trade in deals including Soul Calibur 4. The current trade in deals end August 10th so be quick.

Update 2: Use this deal to take advantage of GAMEs trade in deals instead.

It's actually a store wide sale on the pre-owned titles.

Didnt realise that. Still though the prices are pretty obsurd.

Some of the prices are good trade bait I recall spending only $45 on Gears of War, Fight Night Round 3 and Bomberman: Act Zero.

Use those as trade bait to get Soul Calibur IV at JB Hifi. Which I recall are ending their trade-in deals for the month tomorrow.

Casshern, that is an awesome spot! Wish I knew earlier. Is the trade in offer over tomorrow or is tomorrow just the last day for it?

I just gave them a call to get a double check they said the sale is ending this week which confuses me if it ends tomorrow or not.

It was in one of the catalogs where I saw the trade-in deals end on August 8th.

Thanks for giving them a ring Casshern. My store said it ended the 10th. Which makes sense since 'next week' might refer to Monday next week.

  • Andy Le : I Return'd ONE of them back to JB, it was scratched a little :D The other one = Game.
  • Anthony : Everyone discussing Harry Potter use the forum please: «link»
  • Pete : A better way for the stores to operate would be to mark DOWN the price of the game being purchased rather than marking UP the trade in values. There's probably some accouning reason they don't do this.
  • Neo : gratz if you guys succeed but i\'m usually against things like this, i mean the returns are usually goodwill that stores allow for customers that genuinely dislike their brought product and not for people to take advantage of, if you guys get banned i do believe you brought it on yourself
  • bambam : It's funny seeing everyone doing this trade deal now at JB. Expect JB to ban you returning it soon. I got around $800 credit from them doing it over the last year. Turned EB credit into JB credit :)
  • alex : Crispix i tried today it doesnt work i rekon the stores have been updated with new info. 2 EB stores wrote all over my receipts that it was a trade in not a purchase. cheers anyway
  • EvilTom : Sorry should be "My EB". EB refued.
  • EvilTom : WARNING my JB refused to match the JB Harry Potter trade deal, even though JB was across the road, and they rang up and confirmed it. They still refused. Beware!
  • Adam : and you're able to return it at jb for that price?
  • Andy Le : Nah i'm gonna return some other time?
  • Adam : yeah EB said they'd only give me $15.. How did you trade to JB? Did you say "Can I now return this game?" straight away or did you actually trade in?
  • CHWong : Andy did you return the HP at the same store? Did they allow that!??? Or you went to another store?
  • Jb : my eb quoted $15 trade in for HP so i just went to game
  • Andy Le : EB is offering like 35 i think, and JB = $48 just for returns
  • Andy Le : Meh ,who cares about EB.
  • Dan : how much is store credit for HP6 at JB?
  • CHWong : Andy did you go to EB at all? Or just did the deal at JB?
  • Andy Le : and 360, but why bother? Just return it a JB for store credit, JB has the variety. I'M GETTING ME SOME CD's :D
  • Dan : $50 per PS3 copy at game? nice!
  • Andy Le : Thanks mate, but i've decided i'm gonna try fix my old ds. How did everyone go? I traded in 3 copies, got $50 at game, and also $96 store credit at JB.
  • CHWong : @Andy Le: hey mate if you haven't seen, pre-owned DS Lites are selling for $147 at EB. :)
  • ianinozzie : gizmomelb: I agree completely. I have no idea what's being discussed right at the bottom of the chatbox. Doesn't help that there are a few multiple one-line messages either! Anyone knows where I can get the cheapest price for the House of the Dead: Big Bang Box other than the EB one? Only interested in getting from a store.
  • Neo : from what i can gather alot of ppl are trying to get hp6 for store credit
  • Robert : Just read the HP6 Review from IGN, Don't bother witht he JB deal, looks like you are better off without it...
  • Neo : i think that's y anthony wants ppl to post stuff up on forums rather than chat box
