Hi, I'm looking for this game. It's almost 1 year old
but to my surprise it is currently selling for $88 preowned at Eb-Games.
Why is the price so high? Can it be that Australia did not get enough stock?
Days Gone - PS4

Days Gone is one of the most commonly stocked games around right now?
As for why EB's pre-owned prices are so high, they make their actual money off pre-owned games. Buy low, sell high.
Thanks guys.
I'll buy it for $40 (as I don't have PS plus).
I'm still surprised it is not cheaper though (after one year)Lol try Red Dead Redemption 2,bought it in 2018 a d it's still $99.95 new at EB.
I had to pay $20 for used and it was a struggle
EB Games isn't a good price guide for anything, RDR2 is $39 brand new on Amazon
Ahh I usually pay full price with my Coles cc so I can claim in 2 years. Guess I gotta jump on the next sale price, think the lowest I saw it there was $54
@MeesusEff: Wait, I forgot about this! So when you buy even Console games, you can claim the price difference? I thought most cards are 1-3 months?
@[Deactivated]: Yup, I have the 28D and Coles mastercard plans (now not available) so I can claim 1 or 2 years later. If I buy from EB I usually use Coles as its pretty much guaranteed to be still on the shelf by 2 years.
@MeesusEff: That makes no sense, because nearly everything you buy will devalue over 12 months???
I mean you could buy anything new, and just keep claiming on it til it's no longer sold.
You sure it's 12-24 months? Im surprised it wasn't the number 1 STICKY on this forum! LOL@[Deactivated]: Yup, coles is 2 years from same store, 28D is 1 year from any store
This is an eg of one of my notes for Coles card
Star wars Battle front 2 - $99.95
Eb Games
13.12.17 - CLAIM - $57
14.12.17 - CLAIM APPROVED - $42.95
22.07.18 - CLAIM - $28
24.07.18 - CLAIM APPROVED - $29They don't offer the insurance to new sign ups now, prob lost a lot of money from it from Ozbargainers!
@MeesusEff: Does 28 still do it? I cancelled that card
I imagine not sale prices, but set prices? You'd have to keep track.
That's huge savings on everything you buy!
@[Deactivated]: They've both stopped offering to new customers, and even if you have the card from before but never activated it you won't be able to get it anymore.
Yeah it's a bit of a job to keep track, when I buy something that I intend to claim I'll make a quick note of the date, card, shop, item and price and I usually claim when I see it come up on Ozbargain. Can be any price, discount or clearance doesn't matter as long as it's advertised.
Got back about… $3k across my cards last year. This has become my part time job now that I'm a stay at home mum 😂
@MeesusEff: 🤣🤣❤️
I have it on my ANZ, I know price protection ones with many cards just never seen those time lengths.
I'm sure mines 3 months, but I'll have to dive in.I'm unsure why they don't offer it anymore, they could cancel that feature anytime they want anyways.
Yeah, I only buy hard copies as at least you can sell them!
Imagine paying $24, you could sell it for $30-40 now it seems.Just about the timing with sales.
It's just as easy to lose/scratch a physical game than it is to sell it. Digital versions are usually cheaper with online sales.
