Red 360 elite for $60??

So in my entire one year as trade master, this is my biggest heist yet. The red limited edition RE5 elite tempted me since I laid my eyes on it, but alas I bought my replacement 360 a month too early and missed out.

Or so I thought.

Here’s how it went down.

JB Hi-fi were offering the usual trade deal, but for some reason they were doing a special ‘trade 2 and get it free’ instead of the usual 3 games. I decided it was too good NOT to take advantage off, so I went down to JB and got myself 2 preowned games for a total of $60 and traded those in for RE5.

I had my suspicions that EB would have some kind of crazy trade deal for this game and it was confirmed when I went to trade it in. $93.50 for RE5!

At this point I could’ve went home with my $93.50 ($33.50 profit) in EB Games credit and been relatively happy. But one of my colleagues at work said something that I didn’t really consider before:

$29 profit..do that 3 times and u got a new game…anything else coming out u want?

hehe, do it about 15 times and buy a new 360

So I decided I would ‘take advantage’ of this loophole a few more times. With the 93.50 EB credit I purchased 4 more cheap games and went back to JBHifi, went back to EB games and traded those in for $187 credit. I think so you can see where this is going.

Sold off the copy of Halo Wars that came with it, as well as the SF2 HD Remix which I both already have. So back in the black and a red elite to top it off. Legendaryyy….
