[Switch] The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdoms $13-$25 with Trade-in of 2 Select Games @ EB Games [Staff/Price Error]

151

So I went into the store this morning, expecting to use the $39 + trade in 2 games deal.
To my surprise I only had to pay $3 for the remaining balance. (I paid $10 deposit)
Not sure if it's a price error, but I have attached the receipt to see if others can take advantage of it.
I am a Level 4 EB member and I got $12 extra trade-in bonus according to the receipt, so I reckon non members can get it at $25.

  • thank you so much for sharing. it could be that NS games worth more than PS/XBOX discs to begin with

  • Which select games?

    • The original $39 + 2 trade in games deal only accept "select" Switch or XBOX series or PS5 games.
      If you ask a staff, you would likely be told that "select" games are those that have at least $10 trade-in value in the EB Game internal system.
      You usually have no way of knowing that, so the best way is to bring in a bunch of games and ask them to check for you (usually a fairly quick process) and choose the 2 lowest value games to trade in.
      In my case, I traded in Just Dance 2022 and 1-2-Switch

    I would say price error. Usually these 2 for $x trade do not include level bonus.

    Definitely looks like an error to me!

    • please keep that error forever !

    • I wish you have the discretion to delay in reporting this to the management, so that a few more fellow OzBers can take advantage of it haha.

        Delay in telling what to management? Nothing to see here..

  • I returned an Octopath Traveller II I got from Amazon for $49. Perhaps I should have used it for trade-in instead. 🤔

    Op, suggest to edit as this is definitely a staff error.
    New staff sometimes make this mistakes but this is not a deal.

    • Edited.
      But I'm not 100% sure it's a staff error because the staff who served me didn't have to do a lot of input, it seemed to me that he just scanned the games and entered my driver license details and that was it.

      • Exactly, they are meant to be removing the eb world, hence not an input.

      • That is right. The error was not ignore the real price for the trade. If you trade 2x games that are worth, let's say, $30 bucks, you still need to pay $39 on top.

        The staff just calculated the trade in amount less $85.

  • It is Nice to see How those 2 games + $39 is a bad deal sometimes.

    Those deal Just last for 7 days after releasing date.

    If you have a expensive game I would say to wait and get the real price + bonus for It.

    If you have 2x $10 game, the deal works for you.

  • Def an error. You should have gotten ~$25 for the games. $36 is for PS5/XSX games like Jedi Survivor.

    • so that means it's a system error?

      • The staff probably put the wrong code in.

    Being so happy about a error that you get someone fired

    • +4

      Not going to happen

    • I don't think it's been established that this is definitely a staff error.
      It could very well be a system error and in that case the staff wouldn't be held responsible.
      Even if it's indeed a staff error, do you honestly believe that it is a mistake that is serious enough to get someone fired?

      • +2

        Don't worry, they won't and shouldn't fire him/her over this. If they do, better leave, as it means this company/manager does not promote growth/development.
        You should remove the post as this is not obtainable as it was staff mistake.

    I dont know if this is a staff error, as I have receieved the EB World bonus on multiple trade in deals I've done at two different locations.

    I just thought that this was normal and never thought about it…

    Error. I traded in two games and pay $39 for Diablo 4. Think it was Tiny Tina's wonderland on PS5. They said i had zero left to pay. The staff member rang me later and said she accidentally traded them in as controllers and they would let it slide.

    • Is Diablo also part of trade deal ? it doesnt say on website, any other games you know that are ?

  • +1

    Its not a price error. EB staff are nice enough to tell you that you will get a higher discount if they do a normal trade-in instead of the promo trade-in 2 games and get the game for $39. Normally happens when you trade-in switch games or nintendo games as they have a higher trade-in price. But in this case it looks like an error.

  • I knew I should have posted Woolies $1 a KG that should have been $1 each for Chicken skews :)
    I took the lot because I run into a not so bright team member lol .

  • Would anyone know if this list of trade in games is still current for this deal? Link is from an older OzB post someone else made: https://imgur.com/gallery/GiCyM3M

    • Anything with current preowned selling prices of >=38 will work, unless bogof promo is on.

      $34 should work as well.

      • Thanks! Appreciate it
