I'm so tempted to get over 500. I'm at 422 now. What specific games do you buy on b2g1? And I'm assuming you do the deal twice so you are actually grabbing 6 games?

Do it as many times as you can in one location. If you have the credit to buy 6 and get 3 for free, do it. Then take to another location and flip.

Smaller area here so only like;2-3 GameStoos and have yet to see a used switch game

Either this is new or just me finding out about it, but I can't place a hold on more than 3 products at a single time for in-store pickup at Gamestop.

Almost party time boissss
I'd like to do one more run. My tally right now is now a little over $400, but I feel pretty content. I have this itch to try to get to another milestone and get enough trade credit to cover an Xbox One X, but the truth is I went into this trying to get enough for a Switch and I've done that with my own games and two strategic copies of Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 from Best Buy for $30. Whenever the Switch does come back in stock I can cover the MSRP now and just pay the taxes.

Is there an advantage to doing 9 instead of runs of multiples of 6?
If you buy 6 used games you'll get 3 free with the B2G1 deal.
Ran into the same problem. haha

Once You're over 6, it's just about getting multiples of 3 on the B2G1

BB also opens at 11. Waiting for that to open to get the games to flip.

If you're interested in free games, the best route for boomeranging is finding 9 games that you want that are all new releases.
Buy 3 sets of B2G1, keeping three of those games and trading in the other 6. You should end up with 3 games for free.
If you're interested in just credit, you can accomplish the same as the above (without the games) in one less step, by buying 2 sets of B2G1 and trading them all back.
The goal of both of the above is to have unique games. Also, the above assumes that the 9 (or 6) games you choose all trade in for approx. the same value and cost approx. the same.
The most challenging part of it all is stock at an individual location.

Youre right you wont be able to. Youll need to travel to multiple stores.

Zelda
MK8
Arms

Buying exactly 6 of them should bet you about $100 each flip, more if you can get 9 or some higher multiple of 3 in one store.

PLEASE remember to fill out your www.TellGameStop.com survey for the person you have helping you out and you WON'T be an asshole!
Everyone should do this for their employees, especially clerks who are ringing you up without hassle and you're bringing them a shit ton of games, and then you are buying a shit ton of games. I went to 3 stores yesterday, they were all super cool about everything. They work hard to earn these good feedback surveys. Help them out!

Different stores, maybe across the street.

I've been in this thread since yesterday, No.
I think unless you get a REALLY COOL sales clerk, they aren't going to let you do that. People have been going to multiple GameStops to do the flipping.

Seconding this.
If you work in a restaurant or retail, you already know this, but these surveys are ridiculously important. Giving someone a good survey really does mean a lot to their bosses, etc.
DO NOT DO THIS

I believe any game made before 1997 is "essentially cave man art."
Oh okay. That's what I was doing yesterday. Left some money in store credit but cashed out most in other giftcards, might try again today with the leftover store credit and see what happens

When doing the B2G1, do you get the Pro price for each game if you have PUR with this deal?

Yes if they are preowned.

Here are the best 3DS flippers:
Best WiiU
Best Switch
Best PS4
Best XBOX
Look for these, they're ranked in order. The highest is Mario Maker and it ends at Yoshi ($20 base)
Remember: you need to have SIX games to get the highest 70% trade in value. You can look for six of these games listed, or just use some of your own to get that 6.
