I check trade values often. Some of them are lower than they were a month ago when they last ran this promo, but they were lowered about a week ago.
Typical gamestop. I think we all expected this

$0.33 for Star Wars Battlefront PS4 after 50% bump... could be worse, $0.17 for the Xbox One version. Pretty sure Battlefront is the least valuable modern game on the second hand market. I checked because it's one of the few physical games I have from the modern era.

How does one calculate 50% extra for the handful of beans and a bent nail which Gamestop usually offers for trades?

So you'll get $2 for that $70 game, instead of $1.

Their trade values really aren't bad and don't have to ship and sell and deal with ebay to get a few bucks more, or meet people in an alleyway. But I guess if you really think there's a big market for your 10 year old copy of halo 3.

For everyone crapping on their values, they are also giving $48 for Super Mario Bros Wonder, $35.20 for Mario Kart 8, $40 for Spider-Man 2, $43.20 for Rise of the Ronin -- if you are a Pro member.

Sure, a lot of the trade values suck, but why would you expect great values for older games (especially when they are in lesser demand)? Alternatively, of course... no one wants to mention the good values they offer.

Please enlighten us as to which games are currently retailing for $70 that have a $1 trade in value

They are also still doing the extra 50 dollars on Xbox series x and PS5's
I haven't traded anything in to Gamestop in years, but that promo was 100% worth it to me. Barely ever played my PS5 and Xbox Series X. Got trade credit of $380 for the PS5 and $330 for the Xbox. I see them going for like $200-$250 on facebook marketplace all the time so I didn't wanna bother

California. I see them on facebook marketplace all the time. Xbox Series Xs I've seen for about 200, PS5s $300. Could be scams tho who knows lol, but they look legit

Bloodborne - a game which I recently purchased new for $10 from Best Buy and which I regularly see used copies of selling for $10 - has a trade in value of $16.50, or $17.60 for Pros

Nier Automata on Switch was recently $10 at Walmart. Gamestop trade value is $18, or $19.20 for Pros

Diablo IV PS5 - a game which Gamestop themselves were selling for $20 just a couple weeks ago - has a trade value of $24, or $25.60 for Pros

Sekiro is another game I regularly see used copies of for $10-15. Gamestop trade value is $24, or $25.60 for Pros

Look, are all of the trade values good? No, of course not. And it would be foolish to expect them to be. The whole point of this is that Gamestop is going to turn around and try to sell your games for a profit. Not to mention supply and demand. As I mentioned already, some trade values are lower than they were the last time they ran this promo last month. That's probably at least partially because of the surplus of trade inventory they got during the last promo. But there's still clearly some value to be gained from this current promo.
