Pretty sure its been 3 days and its still processing. Hurry up amazon, I only sent one game in for flip's sake.

Thanks for the response, that really lets me breathe easy now lol

Also got $60 for my PSOne.

The "small label imperfections" doesn't sound promising for me. I think I had a couple like that. Did you have the box for your PSOne for $60?

Why would you need to refresh the mailing time after carrying on so long about the 25 day period? Did you lock in the trade 20 days ago? It only takes about 5 business days to ship unless you're in Alaska.

I locked my trades in over the weekend and haven't sent or refreshed the mailing time. Based on what you kept saying.

On my last order I refreshed the mailing time so that the submit was a day before I sent package.

Both my N64 games had damage to the labels. Very light damage though. Its still processing. I was worried about this. I thought it would be ok though since the lowest condition says it can be personalized. Some right their name in marker and I mess up my labels. Not sure if that will pass lol.

No box for the PSOne, but in very good shape, despite finding it at a goodwill for $10 a few months back.

Well maybe imperfections was kind of sugarcoating it, DK64 had a small tear in the label and I think Kirby had some writing of a kid's name on it and the label was somewhat faded.

Man, now I'm sad. I have two PSone's, no boxes, bought for $1.00 each at yard sales. Also, I just found a few more disc only games I should have sent in. Oh well, hope they accept what I sent them. The worst game I send in was Doom 64, it had names and codes written on the back of the cart, but no marker on the label that I remember.

Are you in AK as well or just poking of us northern folk?

On topic though when was Doom 3 $30? I checked it last night and it was around $2 or something like that.

Neither. It was just a statement abot a conversation a few pages back.

I'm from FL.

Certainly if someone were still sourcing the games to send in they would have wanted to re-lock their trade-ins. I maybe should have since I still haven't retrieved my SNES collection from the basement to scavenge from and my ship by date on some games is tomorrow. Only a (very minor) problem because I think the trade-in specific free shipping labels go away at that point.

locked in 150 dollars worth of trade. if only they would let me pre order the wii u here.

Damn, I as planning on doing a massive buying spree this weekend as I have like 5 used games tores in my area to scout, but all the titles on my list have bottomed out since yesterday. Doom 3 dropped from 30 to one dollar. KOTR and Nightfire are dead too.

I got about seven trades locked in though. I saw yesterday that Morrowind had jumped from one dollar to 30.00. I rushed home, printed the label and got it in the mail asap. I've had that game for so long and it's been practically worthless. Now it is back to 1 buck. lol

I sure hope the video game trades don't go the way of blu-rays. They are offering a mere .10 for new release blu-rays, even expensive tv seasons. It's insane.

Same here. Is it worse to know that the fate of our trade-ins is in the hands of workers who may or may not be morning people?

Have I really "carried on" about it? It seems like you were the one carrying on about it - do I need to quote all your posts arguing with about 4 or 5 different people about the issue? I thought maybe if I stepped in and put my 2 cents in it might stop. I was wrong .

Sometimes it does take more than 5 business days from the West Coast. Add weekends and it can be up to 8-9 days. If you wait 7, then add 10 (say, worst case), then they take 5 days to process, you are at 22, which is pushing it.

Like I said, I'll have no problem sending them in. But I like to refresh them when I can so that I have even more time - makes sense to me no matter what the deadline is. And I also said that because I am on the West Coast I never like to push the 25-day limit. In fact, I've never mailed anything more than 2 days past the 7-day period. But others have with no issues (especially if their shipping times are shorter). I just want to make sure there's plenty of cushion in there for slow delivery, natural disasters, and long processing time on Amazon's end (during which the clock continues to tick - it doesn't end when they receive them). None of that changes the fact that it is not the 7 days that counts, it is the 25 total.

According to amazon reps. Amazon can reject it within 7 days after the first 7 day post my date. That isn't a mandatory deadline though. Accoring to this rep. I'm also asking others. So far the 25 day limit is made up pulled from thin air.

Yeah, well, you just saw there how useful it is to contact an Amazon rep about fine details of the trade-in progam. Most of us could have predicted you'd get a near random answer.

I have a policy that I don't edit/delete discussion when I am involved with it, even if I think it has gone too far and it needs to be cleaned up - don't want to "abuse" my power since we often get accused of that. My mistake was getting involved - I should have just cleaned it out to begin with. Now, if another mod wants to do that, so be it.

I do, however, delete posts when people change someone else's quotes and misrepresent what they said, no matter how deep I am involved...

On an unrelated note, I feel bad for those like Velo and sp00ge who missed out on these great trade-in values. However, it's not like this was some 1 hour or even 1 day thing that could easily be missed. Hell, I was able to lock in trades, think about it for a few days, mail them, and have them already enter the processing stage before the values dropped. The prices have been high for nearly 2 weeks and it has been discussed extensively. I mean, it was one thing to miss by chance (as I did) the 1 cent Amazon Warehouse Deals games since that only lasted an hour (or three). But missing things that run more than a week is on you .

Yeah in order to get better data I'm going to spend time asking this to a few reps. So far all the ones I spoke with don't exactly comprehend what I'm asking. At the same time though nothing is ever mentioned about 25 days other then like you said it was tested by community members.

Their terms of service is weird because without an official deadline cut off I can lock in a trade today and sent it to them next year( assuimg it gets post in the first 7 days and gets lost after) and should be able to get that credit amount that was locked in as its a 7 day post my date.

technically it can sit lost in tranit for infinite time and wheb ever they get it they have to honor the ammount. Or a customer service rep needs to wise up and give me an official recieve by deadline.

Also I never quoted anyones post then edited it. Least not that I recall. I jut quoted people but not edited their own words. Least not in this thread i think. Ive done that other times.

Well, terms of service or not, the trade-in submission will expire in 25 days. And when that happens they will just send the games back to you if you send them in.

Unfortunately I don't have the email any more with the exact date this expired, but this is what it looks like on your trade-in account. I just never bothered to send this game in (and forgot to cancel it):

Originally Posted by io Well, terms of service or not, the trade-in submission will expire in 25 days. And when that happens they will just send the games back to you if you send them in.

Correct. When I look at my dupes of trades I set up I can see the time frames from when I submit them to when they are listed as expired.

So now I understand where you're getting the 25 days from. That's actually in the trade in account system.

What confuses me though is it makes sense that is the recieve by deadline yet they don't bother to list it.


It leaves room for loopholes.

You'd think it be more important to state that the merchant must recieve the item within 25 days of a submitted trade vs just stating to please post within 7 days. Very confusing.

oh don't feel bad for me at all. i saw this thread the day those values went up, i just never thought they would last that long at all, thought it was a glitch or mistake like they have had before and just be sent back, and i thought my copies were mostly without manuals/cases/etc. I just looked today and found both zeldas, mario sunshines, double dash, pikmin, tales of something, sonic adventures, gotcha force, etc and all were complete. im as much ocd for completeness then as i am now. so i told my girl, we can keep these 10 games or i can send them in for 300 amazon credit, and that's like 10 months of diapers and we are about 6 weeks from having another lil baby, so shes like go for it. but then i check it and it's done. definate procrastination tho. just been working alot/gaming when im not at work/etc. peace all and thanks io.

Why are we going back/forth over such a trivia matter? 2 pages of this shit? Come on. If you don't believed what 6,7 ppl told you, submit your trades within 7 days, ignored what they all told you. Problem solve.

All I care about are, when is the next $500 DVD or $200 ps2? Wading through 2 pages of idiotic arguments for tiv info..
