Re: FYE. Sam Goody, Sun Coast 20% Off Additional Trade-In Bag
Being curious to see how good a deal this might be, I did a comparison between the SecondSpin trade in pricing (supposedly equivalent to this) and the usual place I sell on line (NewtownVideo). For the 10 titles I tried, SecondSpin came back with a $36 trade-in, while NewtownVideo was $53. Since I would want cash, even the 20% on top wouldn't be enough.
I think I will stick with NewtownVideo. Also, at NewtownVideo they will credit you shipping if your packag contain 16 or more titles with a trade in of $2 or more each.

It really depends on the manager. I took in one CD to 2 different stores and they wouldn't take it but the 3rd one did. All 3 did look at the CD. Also they are picky on the old BMG music club CDs that didn't have bar codes (the later ones did). Most won't take them because they have to type the title in the computer rather than just scanning the barcode.
I've got a few fairly close by so I'll make sure to hit up more than one if they don't take everything.

Took about 20 DVD's/CD's yesterday to my closest FYE and just learned about this. Managed to make about $45 (pretty much all of it was crap) without the extra 20%.
Unfortunately I don't think I have enough stuff that I am willing to part with to make another trip there worth it. Pretty much all the stuff I have left I want to keep.

My son stopped in our local FYE twice and asked about this promo and both times they didn't know what he was talking about. Is this a regional thing?

I went in today and sold over $300 worth of stuff. Most was old versions of DVDs that I had upgraded to the new versions including Back To School, Trading Spaces, Coming To America, and Ferris Bulluer's Day Off.

$55.85 Regular 20%
$335.25 Total
Here's the list, as you can see for the most part nothing really special except an OOP She Devil and I got She Devil / The War of the Roses combo in the place of it so I'm happy. I was going to have a yard sale but this now saves me time to go to yard sales.

Traded in 30 DVDs and 30 CDs and walked about with about $170 (I still have about 50 CDs I need to trade in, but they ran out of cash so I'll have to go back later).

Either the person who told you that didn't know what they were talking about, or the stipulations vary from store to store.

Re: FYE. Sam Goody, Sun Coast 20% Off Additional Trade-In Bag
Question...does the bag have to be filled all the way up to the top in order to get the 20% added? Or can there be some space on top?
Also, if some of the cds/dvds in the bag are rejected (due to scratches) do they still count as being part of the bag and will I still get my 20%?
I've been selling to FYE for a while now but this is my first time selling with the promotional brown bag.
Thanks!

Whatever you have in the bag that is accepted will get the extra 20%. It's not like you need a "certain" number to get that extra 20%. You could have 2 CD's and 2 DVD's in the bag and still get the extra 20%.

Some of the dvds I have do not have the UPC number on them. Particularly all my X-Files Box sets don't have them anywhere to be found. So when I bring them in to be scanned FYE won't accept them. They are valid dvds. I think the UPC number was on the outside packaging which I threw out back when I first bought them years ago. There are a few other dvds I own with no UPC number on the packaging.

They can look up the X-Files sets and anything else without a UPC in their computer system.
