Welcome to the Official CAG Amazon.com Trade-In Thread

THIS IS NOT A FLIPPING THREAD. USEFUL CREDIT TRANSFER OPPORTUNITIES WELCOME, BUT KEEP THE PROFIT MARGIN TALK / SNEAKY OR LYING SHENANIGANS OUT

Hey trade-in pals! SENDING THINGS IN DISC / CARTRIDGE ONLY / GENERIC CASE NO MANUAL / ANYTHING BUT COMPLETE COULD RESULT IN REJECTION. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS. YOU MIGHT GET ACCEPTED, YOU MIGHT NOT. NO ONE KNOWS. IF YOU CUT OUT A UPC OR DO ANYTHING TO TRICK THE FINE(?) FOLKS AT AFS EXPECT IT TO BE OPENED AND REJECTED. THERE ARE NO HARD AND FAST RULES. IF IT IS ACCEPTED, IT WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY ONLY BE CONSIDERED "ACCEPTABLE." RISK YOUR TIME AND EFFORT AT YOUR PERIL!

I'm getting an acceptance rate of about one per day; it makes me think some supervisor is standing around with a glass of absinthe next to a couple of dumptruck loads of games...while the one responsible for the glitch is made to scan each item and recite its TIV with tears in their eyes. - Indigo_Streetlight

GENERAL FAQ (Updated 12/26/2012)
Can I post a question on this thread?
Only if you can't find the answer from below. And please let me know if it needs to be added to FAQ.

Can I edit this FAQ? (updated 6/7/11)
You bet!

Since when did Amazon start doing trades?
The program began in 2009 and is handled by a third party merchant, previously known as NorAm International. Now known as AFS (Amazon Fulfillment Services).

What kind of shipping does Amazon provide us?
Free UPS ground ---- USPS is no longer available for free. There is now also an option to provide your own shipping.

Do I have to provide my own box or envelope?
Yes.

Do all my games in the same trade-in submission have to be shipped in the same box? (updated 3/9/11)
Not necessarily - people have sent in multiple boxes for the same trade-in submission successfully. It's even possible to send half at one time and the other half at the end of the valid shipping period. However, it's probably best to always ship everything at once.

Can I put separate trades in to a single box? (updated 6/7/11)
Sure, and they'll likely be accepted just fine. However, it isn't recommended since you would only have proof that you sent one of the trades (whichever mailing label you used). So it can be pretty risky.

Can I send in sealed games?
Yes. They won't reject games that still have the original shrink wrap.

Can I add Delivery Confirmation and Insurance to my shipment?
UPS Ground already provides you with tracking information, and I imagine you could get some sort of insurance added at a UPS store or location if you were so inclined.

I don't trust UPS ground. Can I pay for postage myself? What's the address?
Yes. You're more than welcome to do so. Just use the address on the amazon provided shipping label and make sure to get some sort of tracking.

When do I have to send my games once I have submitted my trade order?
You have 1 week (7 days) to send your games. There have been reports of submitting trades up to 15 - 20 days late, but that is definitely ymmv and not in the written rules. Send on time for the best chance at success!

Crap, I have one day to go before my shipment deadline, but the website states that my deadline has already passed. How do I print out a shipping label and packing slip? (Updated 9/9/13)
Load up any existing order (if you don't have any, check your browser's history or just submit a new one to use the link), and substitute the transaction ID for the trade-in order you need at the end of the URL.

Some step by step directions:
1. Go to your trade-in page on Amazon and find the Trade-In ID of the transaction:

Trade-In Placed:

August 24, 2013

  • Total Amount Submitted: $35.00
  • Amount Paid: $0.00
2. Copy the entire Trade-In ID (i.e. TRN-1234567-1234567) to your clipboard by highlighting it and hitting Ctrl+C or right click -> copy with your mouse

3. Paste the Trade-In ID to the end of this link:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/tradein/multicondition-your-account/print-label/ref=trdrt_ya_yaprnt?ie=UTF8&orderID=

So it should look like this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/tradein/multicondition-your-account/print-label/ref=trdrt_ya_yaprnt?ie=UTF8&orderID=TRN-1234567-1234567

The Print Shipping Label screen for that trade should now come up.

How long does the whole trade-in process usually take?
From the time you send in your games, it may take up to 14 business days for the package to arrive. Most people usually receive their credit (Amazon GiftCard) in 3 to 5 business days, however.

How long does the "processing" status usually take? (Updated 10/11/12)
Usually a day or two with little delay at all. It may take multiple days or even weeks if it's an usual item/hardware.

My games were received on Friday (based on Delivery Confirmation), will I have to wait until Monday to receive credit?
People have received credit on a Saturday.

I do not have the manual, cover art, or original case for a game I want to trade in. Will they accept it? (updated 6/9/11)
While the details specifically state that original packaging is necessary, people have reported in the past that their trades were accepted despite missing some of these. This is extremely YMMV, however since some were also rejected by missing manual or cover art. On the other hand, older gen games; such as SNES, N64, and GB cartridges, normally get accepted without the original box and manual, but still YMMV.

It should be noted that with the new condition requirements (see later in the FAQ), you may be able to send an item in missing some or all of the required items (manual / cover art / case) and still have it accepted in "Acceptable" condition.

I do not have the manual, accessories, original box, original included game, etc for a console or accessory I want to trade in. Will they accept it? (updated 3/9/11)
The current wisdom is "probably not" - it's pretty YMMV but AFS seems stricter than they should be on this. Your chances seem to be better for them accepting a console or accessory without the box / manual / etc if it's older generation or rare. You're more than welcome to give it a shot though if you're feeling lucky - just pack it well and include as much as you can! Don't expect greater than 'acceptable' condition though.

My game is really beat up, what are the chances they’ll accept it?
This is YMMV. Some people have reported in the past that they sent in games in bad shape that were still accepted. Your best bet is still to trade in games in mint condition. Minor scratches are expected as these are used games.

My game came with DLC codes and I used them. Will my game be accepted? (Updated 12/28/11)
It is expected that included DLC codes have already been redeemed, so you should be fine. It is a kindness however if you have no use for it to not redeem it and let the next lucky soul who buys it from awd or wherever have a crack at it. Up to you!

My cover art (PLATINUM HITS) differs from the pic on amazon, will my trade be accepted?
It all depends on the UPC so just turn your game around, type in the UPC into the amazon search box. If the game comes up, then it's accepted regardless of cover art. Click on that result to submit your trade.

I have a game from a limited edition bundle, will they accept it?
If the game’s cover art has a UPC barcode, they will most likely accept it. If your game's cover states "Not for Resale" and does not have a UPC barcode, the game will most likely get rejected. Some people have had their games accepted in the past, but this is very YMMV.

The UPC barcode is not intact on my game's cover art, will that be accepted? (updated 3/9/11)
This is YMMV, but probably not. The UPC is all powerful within the walls of AFS..

I sent in my games, all of which were in pristine condition with the original packaging, but they said that one game is damaged and is now being returned.
Always pack your games well. Put a lot of newspaper around your games in the box to secure them and to prevent any damages from haphazard box cutting. People in the past have requested their entire trade-in order if it’s obvious the damage wasn’t their fault, and Amazon ended up accepting the rejected game. This is YMMV as well.

Can I trade in multiple copies of the same game?
Yes. Once you click “Trade in” for a particular game, you may change the quantities. Once you submit, you can no longer change quantities on that trade-in batch.

How many multiple copies of the same game can I trade-in (updated 1/11/11)?
Maximum of 2 copies within 3 a month period.

I locked in X copies of a game but I now only have Y available to send. Can I just send in Y without being penalized? (updated 3/9/11)
Yes, you can always just send in a portion of your trade-in order and they'll just credit you for whatever they receive. However, the quantities you submitted for will stay locked in that instance (I think) so if you, for example, submitted for 2 copies and only sent 1, you may not be able to trade any more copies of that game for 3 months (see previous question).

Will the Trade-in of the Day TIV stay for 24 hours?
It's been reported that there is a limit (maximum # of copies) that will get the promoted TIV so lock yours.

So if I find a good flip, I can just send 2 copies of that game and not worry about Amazon accusing me of stolen merchandise?
Technically yes, but do keep in mind that other CAGs might want to participate in the current deal, and trading in a large number of the same game will definitely lower the TIV of said game. Let’s be nice to other people. This is probably moot for most folks now with the per account / address trade-in limit.

Wow, these TIVs suck (updated 3/9/11)!
Really? Hrm. While that may be true, they're often better than other comparable places. Your options of what to do with your used games are greater now than they've ever been, so feel free to shop your trades around or just sell them off on glyde/ebay/whatever. Also, not a question.

What the fuck? The TIV of a game I just bought for this deal tanked! What do I do?
The TIVs on Amazon fluctuate depending on the number of trades that are submitted, and we really can’t do anything about it. The best course of action for trading in games is to lock in your trade if you already have the games or are absolutely sure that you can obtain them. You can always cancel the trade submission if you end up not finding the games.
LOCK = SUBMIT YOUR TRADE, Don't just put it in the cart.

Can I edit a submitted trade?
Nope - once upon a time you could modify trade in quantities of submitted trades, but that ability has been removed.

Can I use my credit on items that are not video game-related?
Yes. This is the other perk for trading in games at Amazon since you're not limited to just video games.

Can I use my credit on items sold by third-party merchants on Amazon?
According to the fine print of the Amazon gift card use, some merchants are excluded. Your best bet is to try it on the checkout page of your order.

Strategy guides? I can trade in game/strategy guides? Whaaaaa?
Go to the Textbook Buyback section (http://www.amazon.com/Textbooks-Trad...ode=2205237011[/URL]). You can either search on the title of a strategy guide you have to see if they'll accept it, or search for guides. The two best search strings to start with are 'prima guides' and 'bradygames'. Might try 'doublejump' if you want to trade in some of those. (Thanks eugaet)

I locked in some hilariously overvalued trade for some weird rare game/accessory/etc that I can pick up for cheap cheap cheap. They didn't accept it. What should I do? (updated 3/9/11)
The truth is that AFS can reject things for any reason they see fit. While some people have managed to get silly things like a $200 credit for some cheerleading game (or for a PS2 - just ask io!), it's sooooooo YMMV that often it's not worth the effort. EXPECT REJECTION ON THINGS THAT ARE CLEARLY MISVALUED. That said, as long as you're willing to risk it, go for it!

What's all this item condition nonsense? And how can I get screwed over by it? (updated 6/9/11)
We're still kinda sussing out the details surrounding the new item condition portion of Amazon Trade-Ins, but it looks like there's a couple things to consider:
Good Condition eligibility (games):
- The video game, original manufacturer packaging and all original elements are included, but shows wear from normal use
- Game still plays perfectly
- Disc may have light scratches and other elements may have minor damage
- Item may have been personalized (marked or identified)

Acceptable eligibility (games):
- Game still plays perfectly
- Item may have been personalized (marked or identified)
- Item may be missing or have irreparable damage to one or all of the following: case, manual, artwork, bundled accessories, UPC

Note that a game will almost certainly not be accepted if it meets any of these conditions:
- Game does not play perfectly
- Disc is cracked
- Marked Not for Resale (or is otherwise marked not for sale)

Consoles/accessories have some slightly different criteria, but the idea is the same.

Did it seriously just ask me if I wanted my game / other item returned if they refuse to give me credit for it? (updated 6/9/11)
Yes, that just happened.

Unless you're purposefully sending them things you deem to be trash, please remember to choose the option that has them return your item to you during the checkout phase.

Who is AFS? (updated 9/14/13)
Amazon Fulfillment Services (previously known as NorAm). Dunno if they changed names, were bought up by Amazon, or what. Not too interested anyhow.

Why does my package jump back and forth between states? (updated 9/14/13)
Look at a map of the involved cities and it'll make sense. Something to do with UPS hubs and proximity to the state border/cities.

Post away!

[quote name='shivan128']My 3ds like new tradein was rejected for "minor scratches" *sigh*... they better send it back to me in the same condition .[/QUOTE]
I got my 3DS back today, and you shouldn't have anything to worry about. I got the exact same system sent back in the exact same condition. How do I know?

The box I shipped it in was never opened.
 
[quote name='LiteOnMe']^ damn that sucks. Maybe next time put a note saying game did not come with a manual. I traded in bf3 for 360 and I lost the manual so I just put fable 3 manual in there and it got accepted, so if you're desperate put a random game manual in there and take a chance.[/QUOTE]

I've actually started doing the note thing, but we really shouldn't have to. It annoys me that a faq like this even needs to exist for Amazon's trade-in program. After we got our hands collectively slapped during the retro game trade-in massacre of 2012 we had evidence that at least someone at Amazon is aware of this thread. I wish they would drop in when they aren't getting their clocks cleaned and actually address the remaining consumer facing problems in the program.

Yeesh. They should really just stop doing console trade-ins.
 
I contacted Amazon's customer service about my 3DS trade-in. The solution they offered was that I resubmit it, and they'll be sure to take a look at it this time. Of course they will, and they'll give me $86 for my trouble.

I told them it was down to $86, and that I didn't have confidence in them even if they let me submit it for $122. Nothing would prevent them from simply opening the box, deny it without looking at it, and then send it back to me again. I'm not about to risk getting it damaged in shipping when I'm almost guaranteed to get nothing.
 
Good luck finding those controllers. I haven't seen them in stores for well over a year. I actually own one and still have the original packaging, but I use it as a PC controller and while it is a third-party controller, I actually quite like it. That's still an insane TIV and I could probably just get an official 360 controller for PC use.
 
[quote name='handsomepete']If you're looking for a totally weird way to move gamestop credit to amazon (and you have these in stock locally) or if you happened to pick some up when they were $10 at Best Buy:

Good idea but like others have said I have never seen this controller in store before. And it is not available online.
 
I Have the controller, manuel, usb wire, the wifi connecting usb and the card but no plastic packaging...I throw it aways because it cannot reuse..I am very regretful now..Does it mean I only can get the amount of gift card for acceptable condotion according to you guys trading video game accessories in amazon?
 
[quote name='boogie4114']The PS3 version of that controller is $19.99 at Bestbuy.com and trades for $31.55 at Amazon if you're sitting on alot of Bestbuy giftcards and wanna convert to Amazon.

lock now, then if the tiv maintains cancel/relock later to buy more time if needed.

Lock it in now. If you wait til you receive them, you're risking the TIV going down.
 
My 3DS got accepted today. $122 + $50 Vita Promotional Credit. Win.

I was getting worried after reading all the rejections here.

yes, no packaging means acceptable rating 99% of the time.

I also have the plastic stand and the red card...I only throw aways the plastic packaging that I need to cut for open the controller.
 
A first for me: I got credit on a game I sent it, and the tracker on both Amazon and UPS says it left California this morning. It usually takes 3 to 5 days to send games to them from California.

It also got upgraded to good from acceptable, even though it was card-only. The game was Assassin's Creed 3 Liberation from the white Vita bundle.

:?::?::?:
 
^ A first for me also. I sent in a cart only :ds:Trion Cube that was delivered on 12/21, but is still showing not received/ in transit. I chatted with them today and they gave me a $16 promo credit. I guess their screw ups benifit us when the condition of lost items can't be determined.
 
In case anyone had forgotten about this deal, I received my $3 trade-in promo bonus from ordering Assassin's Creed III during that one day Amazon sale this morning. Comes as a code, must be redeemed by 2/11.
 
My Nintendo Wii got rejected for "major discoloration". It was in like new condition, had the box, all manuals, and accessories.

They also rejected a Brand New and Sealed DVD for "severe damage". I had sent them two in identical condition but they only accepted one. It was sent in a box so there is no way it got damaged.


I marked both trades as do not return but they are sending it back anyway. Wouldn't even give me reduced condition price.

I was shot down for my Wii as well...ended up trading it in at Estarland. They'll take everything with a slight reduction for missing boxes and such, but if you've got the boxes, I'd go for it. The downside is trade-in credit isn't obviously as good there as Amazon and their prices are MSRP but at least you can get something for it. (I think I basically traded it for a new copy of Bioshock Infinite, lol -- but it was better than nothing!). Also, I believe if you trade in a console they will give you a UPS prepaid label to ship it on their expense.
 
So for some reason I decided to pull up the trade-in page from back in October 2012 when things got crazy and Amazon was offering $30 on alot of random titles.

Hoo boy I shouldn't have. I'm realizing now a few titles (Mainly Nintendo stuff) is often going for twice that in the condition I was offering them in.

Ah well, I guess I didn't do too poorly considering it was all accepted without issue (after all, just because I list something for sale doesn't mean it would sell) and since Amazon didn't take a cut of anything.

That's what is helping me sleep at night anyway.
 
My AC Liberation got rejected for good condition because it was missing a manual that doesn't exist. Can't even make that shit up.
 
[quote name='Hyperlancer']My AC Liberation got rejected for good condition because it was missing a manual that doesn't exist. Can't even make that shit up.[/QUOTE]This is why you include a sticky-note or piece of paper where the instruction manual might be that says "Hello, Playstation Vita games don't include instruction manuals. Thank you." I was worried about this happening when I wanted to trade in Uncharted: Golden Abyss, but I was told to do that by some CAGs and the trade went through without a hitch.

Three were accepted. My fourth one is processing. I just checked also but there was no "extra" credit added to any of them.
 
My two National Geographics processed. One was downgraded to 21.00. That's complete bullshit, while gutted, they were certainly in great shape. Still better than getting it returned outside of the return window, I guess.

[quote name='oasisboy']Amazon trade in values are total crap now. They make GameStop and Best Buy look like champs.[/QUOTE]In general, yes, they're crap, but every now and then some profitable trade-in values pop up; you just have to be vigilant.

Cases in point: Peter Jackson's King Kong :)360:) for $20; National Geographic Challenge :)wii:) for $30; The Hobbit :)xbox:) for $30.

Go check the tracker. There was another weird big jump this afternoon/evening - it's mostly rare stuff, but there's a couple gems in there.

Edit: It seems a couple of the gems are rare too - I've found some at a local gamestop but barely seems worth the drive.
 
[quote name='vantheman']They were great a few months ago when all those old ps1, N64 and OG Xbox games were getting $30 each.[/QUOTE]

Funny, to me the highlight was the GC and GBA game values, which you didn't even mention. That was all I traded. And then there's the ones I didn't trade but were made aware of their value because of the high value on Amazon. On eBay I sold my used Fire Emblem Sacred Stones for $40 (was only $22 at Amazon I think), sealed SMA:SMB2 for $50 (I think that one was low $20's too), sealed Legend of Zelda A Link To The Past for $100 (not even sure that had a high value on Amazon), sealed FF VI Advance for $100, and sealed Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland for $60 (that one was $30 and I almost sent it to Amazon). I bought all of those games with the intention of playing them back when the GBA was the current "state of the art" handheld. But I realized I would never get to them so I sent several others in to Amazon and sold these. I also traded and sold some Gamecube stuff. E.g., I got $55 for Shadow the Hedgehog by selling it on Amazon (instead of trading it for $20).

As for the current values, I wish I could get $21 for Nat Geo - I locked it in when it was $20 so I'm expecting the downgraded value of $16 even though it was near mint.
