ok so me and my friend was talking and she was wondering how much do you think Gamestop's 3DS trade in value would be toward another 3DS? if there's nothing wrong with the first one but you just want another color,/how much do you think it would be worth? I had no clue 'cause I just traded in a couple of DS games and PSP game and the most I got was $3.50 and the least I got was $0.20 (-.- I was a little disappointed but I should have known better given my trading history) so we was wondering if they would jip you or give you a fair price?

Your opinions?

Nope... Gamestop never gives you the exact price of what it's worth!
They lower it down a lot to what it's not worth so they can get extra money.
(they gota make money somehow)

They usually take back games for lower then they are worth. Your best bet is selling them on eBay or to a friend.

A lot of things lose a significant amount of their value as soon as someone has owned them. It's just the way things work. If you buy a new car, one of the biggest drops in value is when you sign the papers to own it. Then for a long time afterward the value drops lower and lower until it becomes an antique, then it's value starts heading upwards.

This happens with most things, including game consoles, although there are no antiques that are game consoles so no game console has exactly gone up in value. The only thing that I can think of that doesn't fit this is houses, it's impossible to predict their value very far ahead. Oh and food doesn't follow that either, food usually stays the same.

sorry ranting, basically, just you owning the 3DS has made the value of it drop. The only place you can hope to sell it for the price you paid for it is online. But even then you might be selling it for the price you bought it for, but you don't get all that.

Just stick with your 3DS unless you really want a different color and are willing to spend a little more money,

If you want a different color, I think they'll let you trade it in if you make up some complaint about it. A loose hinge perhaps? Even a bit loose, it *can* interfere with AR gaming. Unless Gamestop is running some kind of trade-in deal, I almost always recommend selling to a friend or to someone on Craigslist. You'd get more money that way...or you'd make a friend happy. =)

I am regreting my color choice, and i actually have a loose hinge but GAME didn't let me return it =(

But is it really really loose? I think under a half inch of looseness is considered normal. I checked the play on my friend's Blue 3DS today, and it's basically the same as my black one. And that's weird, I mean, if you have a broken system, you *should* be able to return it. Maybe you're too nice about it, sometimes you gotta be firm with the Gamestop people to get them to do anything for you.
