Eight months ago I walked into a GameStop with 4 semi-old (but not ancient) PS3 titles – Resistance 2, Tiger Woods 09, Mirrors Edge and 1 one other I can’t remember. With the economy in the toilet and my wallet not getting any heavier I thought that I could get a 4-for-1 swap, selling my games to buy something to keep me busy over the weekend. What I found was that even if I signed up for their membership card to get full “credit” my games wouldn’t be enough to get me to the $59.99 price I needed for a new title. The most I would have gotten was $15 bucks for Resistance 2.

I left without selling a game that day and while I wasn’t surprised, I still felt like someone just kicked my dog.

That weekend I came up with the concept for TinFlip:
“Purchase a game at a good price, resell it at a great price and know all of this upfront before you buy.”

Here’s how it works:
You find a PS3, Xbox360 or Wii title you want to buy online.

Before you purchase, check out the BuyBack price and Window Period. The BuyBack is a cash or credit amount you’ll get back if you resell the game to us before the Window Period ends. Window Periods are usually around 60 days.

After you purchase, if the Window Period comes up and you’re done with the game, send it back in the Pre-Paid Return Package. If you’re not done with the game, keep it as long as you want.
What makes TinFlip different is flexibility: not only do you know how much you’re reselling the game for upfront, but we’re also going to give you an average of 50-60% of the original purchase price back. You’re getting a better deal than in the stores and you don’t have to deal with all the drama of a big chain that knows you don’t have another option.

We are gamers that have come together to create the other option.
