[EB World Members] Make easy money with trade in deals @ EB Games

Like the title says, currently EB Games are offering the same amount of cash when you trade in a console as they do store credit. My email said it was for EB World members only, not sure if you can sign up with EB World today and still take advantage of the deal or not. Ends April 25th

They're offering (for consoles complete with leads and controllers etc)

$500 PS5 Disc console
$400 PS5 Digital
$220 PS4 Pro
$200 PS4 Slim
$480 Xbox Series X
$260 Xbox Series S
$160 Xbox One S
$180 Xbox One X
$160 Switch Lite
$250 OG Switch
$320 Switch OLED

Now, the PS5, Xbox Series and Switch OLED consoles aren't worth trading in, much better off selling them privately on Facebook or Trade Me, but the last gen consoles, $200 for a PS4 Slim 500gb and $160 for an Xbox One S is a great deal as you can pick those consoles up 2nd hand for quite cheap.

To give you an idea how easy this money is, I bought a One S last night for $99 off Trade Me which I picked up this morning, along the way I stopped at Cash Convertors and picked up a PS4 Slim for $149, then went straight to EB and traded in both no problems, they didn't have enough cash so they refunded the $360 back onto my Visa debit card. An easy $110 profit for hardly any effort at all.

    Hi Flippant,

    Did you get an email about the cash offer (rather than in-store credit)?

    The last email I got from EB was yesterday, but I can't see anything in there on the subject - it's pretty much only talking about Mother's Day.

    Alan.

    • Yep, email arrived Wed night titled "Get Exclusive BOOSTED Console Trade Values for ONE WEEK ONLY!"

        Might have been targeted in that case - I definitely didn't receive it.

        What level of EB World membership do you have (I am only Level 1)?

        Have you ever traded in at EB before (I have never done that myself)?

        • No, there's nothing in the email that suggests it's targeted towards certain members, my impression is that it's for all EB World members.

    • It's on the EB website though: https://files.cheapies.nz/upload/12735/4973/eb.png so I suspect it's for everyone?

        Could be, but I can't find anything on the website about getting cash (rather than store credit) for trade-ins?

        • ah I see now. Only says boosted.

        • Here's one of the pics from the email, I won't post all of them because they did separate ones for each console, but here's the PS4 Slim one

            Cool - thanks!

  • Sounds cool @Flippant would you be able to screenshot the email itself?
    I'm not sure if the staff are gonna know anything/need verification.

      Called up my local eb and they're aware of it, just make sure you're a member and you're good. You'll need all the cables the stock consoles came with though; HDMI, power, micro USB and controller if you're trading in a PS4.

      For those who want to see the Email link (I did as I turned off all promotional Emails) use this Facebook post instead:

  • Does anyone know if they will take it for less if you are missing some things?
    I have a switch but am missing the joycon grip and joycon rails with the straps

    • They mentioned they'll pay $10 less if it has missing cables, when enquiring about a PS4. You'll have to call them and ask about the joycon grip and rails

  • Honestly a few of these are better than marketplace prices. If there are infinite xboxes we could make infinite money

  • Anyone know if they take PS4 first Gen?
