  • I did find one! i can't post links but on the hut you can buy hustle box set 1-6 for £12.95

    and on cex they'll give you £15 cash or £20 credit. is it really worth it though to only make 2 quid each one?

    there was a massive thread on this not long back, think it got blocked in the end as no end of things were brought and sold. can't remember what did happen to the thread, just remember it was on the grabits board

    Just got 20, CEX will only take 5 at a time though so in the store for the rest or if that fails on ebay...

    A quick way to make a ~16% ROI :-)

    Can you sell 5? In the terms and it says the price you get is based on you selling one, and if you send duplicates they may change the price so may be risky!
  • This is pretty good if you want to buy something from CEX you could potentially get a ~35% discount on what you are buying :-)

    In T&C's:

    "Please note value we offer for your items may be reduced upon receipt depending on their condition. We may also reduce the price if the quantity being sold by a customer exceeds five [5] units within a period of one [1] month."

    Key word there is exceeds. However you are right places like tho aren't known for their generosity are they ;-)

    not even gonna waste my time with this company.
  • don't forget that game station do a price match thingy ma bob... and you can get reward points which equal money off too in gamestation and i'm sure they have special rewards like for eg. for trading a game in within a week of it's release or something like that?

    we did well out of buying 2 copies of mw3 (without it being for financial gain... i was just impatient!)
