iPad Which Stores Can I Physically Go In To Trade Old iPad?

I traded my ipad 4 16gb wifi and 250gb xbox 360 slim today, bought a $10 used game and got $446 in store credit. The amount of hours I logged on the xbox was probably 1.5 hours.:eek: But don't worry, I have a brand new sealed xbox 360 slim system that I won from dave & busters. I'm trying to decide what to do with the credit. I was thinking of getting Amazon gift cards and trying to get a galaxy note 8.0 lte or a nexus 7 fhd lte. Decisions decisions. Currently I already have enough points on my Dave & Busters card to win a PS4, Xbox One, and Ipad Air when they get those shipments in. I just happen to be a D&B master.:cool:

Worked perfect. Got $327 for an iPad 2 32gb Wi-Fi. $300 in Amazon GCs, $20 Starbucks and a used XBOX 360 game. Not bad considering I couldn't even find a buyer at $200 cash.

Wow... okay this seems the right route to go. Almost had a buyer last night for $300 cash, but this seems like way less hassle.

Do you have to be a power up member to take advantage of this deal?

I joined the free power up membership, because I wasn't going to spend my entire trade amount. It was $353 credit, bought a game for $1.99 to get the 30% bonus which was $458. Bought $450 in Amazon cards and $5 went on that card.

I don't think you need to be a member.

Wow, almost exact same for me: It was $353 credit, bought a game for $1.99 to get the 30% bonus which was $458. Bought $450 in Amazon cards and a $25 Shell Gas card that I paid 20$ for. I was not a member of the club.

This was no hassle and the GameStop associate was quick and professional. I kept my cable and charger since this would have only given me $1 more...

The Amazon cards were "kindle" cards but that does not matter they are gift cards for anything on Amazon. I redeemed them to my Amazon account and I am good to go.

You sure about that?

Sorry what I meant by that is: If your iDevice has any problems within its first year you can go to an Apple store and swap it out for a new one if they can reproduce the issue. For example I owned an iPhone 5 that I had for 11 months and it developed a problem with its on/off power button. They gave me a brand new one.
 
for people who traded in at gamestop, did they charge you a $10 "refurb service" fee?
 
Traded in my iPad 4 16gb wifi today at Game Stop. I originally was set on just taking the cash value but couldn't resist the extra value with the in store credit. Got $409 with the extra 30%. Bought a .99 game to qualify for the preowned item and got $400 in Amazon gift cards. The remaining $8.51 went on a gift card. Was wanting a new TV so this seemed like the perfect way to get one!

This is my second trade in with Game Stop, the first was my iPhone 5 a month ago and both times I've been given Like New value. Both items I traded in we're in very good condition but had clearly been used, just scuffs and minor marks on them.

I did it yesterday with an iPhone 5. If you buy any pre-owned item then you get the extra 30% credit.

So there were a stack of old, used ps2 games and I got Alias for $1.99 and got the extra 30% bonus.

Walked out with $475 in Amazon gift cards.

which iPhone 5 did you trade to get 475?

Gamestop. There is currently a 30% trade in bonus on devices as well. That's what I did with my 3rd Gen 64GB. Ended up out the door with *edit $442 in Amazon gift cards for it.

I agree, Gamestop seems to be offering the most cash for in-store buybacks.

Mine was on the receipt but it was $0.00

I got like new at a store I used to work it at. I took it to a different store first. The guy told me they would only give $200 because it was "scratched up on the edges, which is normal." It has been in a case since it came out of the box. I asked him to point out the scratch. It turned out to be HIS finger smudge. :D
