Spandex City offers "Play It Forward", an innovative money-saving game trade-in program. With "Play It Forward", you have convenient way to try out new board games and refresh your personal game collection at a minimal cost.
- Do you love board games, but your game shelf at home is already filled to capacity?
- Are you interested in trying new games, but you can't risk purchasing a game you might only enjoy playing a few times?
- Are new board games just too expensive for your budget?
If so, Spandex City's "Play It Forward" program is for you! Here's how it works:
- Buy any game from our "Strategy Street Games" section. This includes all board, dice, and non-collectible card and miniatures games1.
- Take the game home and enjoy it for as long as you like (i.e. weeks, months, or even years!)
- "Play It Forward" by bringing a complete2 game back to Spandex City for others to enjoy.
- Receive valuable Spandex City Hero Bucks for your trade-in (30% of the MSRP3) .
- Use your Hero Bucks immediately to purchase another game (or save them for later, if you prefer).
As part of our "Play It Forward" program, we are offering pre-played "Certified Complete" games for sale at Spandex City. These games have been enjoyed by other customers who are now sharing the fun with you! All "Certified Complete" games are 30% off the original MSRP, which offers everyone the chance to acquire games at "better than Internet" prices. "Certified Complete" games all have the original box (in good condition), original instructions, and all originally included pieces and parts4. We carefully inspect every trade-in game before it earns the "Certified Complete" seal of approval.
1 Games that have a collectible component (including, but not limited to, Magic: the Gathering, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Heroclix) are not eligible for the "Play It Forward" program. Gaming supplies (such as dice, card protectors, and playmats) are not eligible for the "Play It Forward" program. Games must have an MSRP of at least $14.99 to qualify.
2 "Play It Forward" trade-in games must have the original box (with no tears, crushes, or defacing marks), original manufacturer instructions (no reproductions or printouts), and all original parts in playable condition. Determination of acceptable trade-in condition is at the sole discretion of Spandex City. Trade-in games do not need to have been purchased at Spandex City, but Spandex City reserves the right to deny any trade-in that is not regulary offered by Spandex City. Limit of 2 game trade-ins per account per day.
3 Spandex City's price for a new copy of the game will be used as MSRP. If the game is not usually stocked by Spandex City, the manufacturer's published suggested retail price will be consulted. 30% of the MSRP will be awarded in the form of Hero Bucks (rounded down to the nearest whole number).
4 In some cases, "Certified Complete" games may not include surplus pieces that were intentionally included by the manufacturer. Non-playable items (such as promotional items/cards and catalogs) may not be included. Manufacturer-supplied "blank" replacement cards/pieces may be utilized instead of the original pre-printed items in a "Certified Complete" game.
