FYE. Sam Goody, Sun Coast 20% Off Additional Trade-In Bag
Went into a Sam Goody today in the mall and they had bags for the "fill the bag 20% more for your trade-in."
The bags were up at the checkout and a small DVD-sized sign on a side display near the front mentioned the sale. There were no big signs or anything like that. I asked one of the workers what this sign was about and he fumbled around, thought for a moment and then explained saying you get 20% off when you fill a bag. Then I asked him would I bring in my stuff and then get a bag or get a bag now. He maybe you should get a bag, do you want one? Don't think that they even knew what was going on or was just out of it. Don't know when it ends. Figured I would not ask that since who knows what answer I would get and if it would be right - he did not seem to have a clue. |

It just means you will get 20% more in value when you trade in your used items.

Although the bag said 20% more, my store had a sign saying it is actually 45% more if you take store credit instead of cash... It ends August 11th...

Already dumped about $150 worth of stuff, working on getting rid of more.

Steebo, can you give us an idea of the value they're offering? Before I make a trip, I'd like to know how much I can expect in return.

Went to my closest FYE to inquire whether they had this special going on. Found out that I had to make a purchase in order to receive one of these bags. Turned out fine, since I found a $1.97 DVD to buy. On the bag, it says "Is your bag overflowing? Grab another bag, any bag and we will still honor the deal"

Yeah, I work at an FYE and there is no policy that requires you to make a purchase to recieve one of those bags. They are put out for the taking.
(Nothing against others in this thread, just wanting to be sure). |
Re: FYE. Sam Goody, Sun Coast 20% Off Additional Trade-In Bag
Thanks for the heads-up, OP (and confirmations from others)!! I gotta clear off my desk anyway, and I've been stashing oodles of DVDs away waiting for the next secondspin.com 20% add-on... this is much more immediate and efficient for me! Off to pack a bag (or two... or three!) and get them over to the store! :)

Can you confirm that it is store policy to stack this offer with the normal 25% more for in-store credit?
(Nothing against others in this thread, just wanting to be sure). Here is the pic of the bag: Spoiler:
And here's more details (thanks to CAG for the initial post): It's been a while but it looks like its that time again. FYE is currently running their brown bag deal where if you fill up their promotional bag, or any other bag with items, you get either a bonus 20% for cash or 45% for credit. To break it down, If you have an item thats worth $15, you can bring it in the brown bag (or any other bag) and get either $18.00 for cash or $21.75 for credit. If you are wondering how much your cd's/games/movies get at FYE, a good place to check is www.secondspin.com . Their game TIV's are usually spot on, DVD's & CD's can vary between 10-25% between Secondspin's TIV and the actual FYE TIV. |

Re: FYE. Sam Goody, Sun Coast 20% Off Additional Trade-In Bag
I'm bringing a different bag, that to add insult to injury, isn't completely full. Wish me luck.
Question: is the trade in credit redeemable at any TransWorld store? Example: If I trade stuff in at FYE, can I use it at another mall's Suncoast? I want to trade in a video game or two and have a feeling Suncoast won't accept games or CDs... right? |
Re: FYE. Sam Goody, Sun Coast 20% Off Additional Trade-In Bag
Wish I had one of these by me.

Re: FYE. Sam Goody, Sun Coast 20% Off Additional Trade-In Bag
Is the consensus that the better deal is to take the store credit (+45%) rather than the cash (+20%)? I usually don't shop at B&M's simply because their prices don't compete with the likes of amazon or the ddd sale, and I was thinking that ultimately I would make better use of the money from the trade-in online rather than in-store, but now I'm not so sure.

Re: FYE. Sam Goody, Sun Coast 20% Off Additional Trade-In Bag
So the credit is usable online as well? Does anyone know if they'll take older versions of titles, such as the old version on Sunset Blvd, not the new release?

They have some decent sale prices for new releases, especially with rebates, but usually the best prices are at fye.com, especially when they have coupons (15% off $50 currently) + rebates... That's where I'll be spending my credit...

The prices at secondspin.com are almost always the same price you'll get in-store, without the 50% bonus added. I always check the prices there, and have only found discrepancies twice out of 50+ titles...
Looks like I'm going to have to make a trip to the mall this weekend :) Also, can anybody tell me how judgmental they are when it comes to disc condition? Does it have to be absolutely spotless, or is a little standard wear exceptable? |
