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!

I have 3 of these pending. Now I just need to grab them from the store. Before anyone asks, I have a Amazon account for myself and my wife. There is a max of 2 games per account.
 
Don't know if it's been brought up, but it might be worth noting that you can now get paid immediately... If you're willing to put in a credit card number, which gets charged if any of your trade-ins are rejected or are downgraded. I don't recommend anyone try this, one of my friends had massive issues when a $130 trade-in was nuked to $27... That was a bit of a bill on his Visa for the month. It still took him over a day to receive the credit and even though he hadn't used it, they still charged his card, instead of taking the credit back. Use at your own risk.

Also, it might be that not all accounts get this option, his did but mine didn't... So I'm not sure what the pre-requisite is to be eligible for this option.

Yeah, I saw that on a recent trade-in.

I don't even want to deal with that $@%^ so I said no.
 
Posted this in the game trade thread but bears repeating in this thread:

Here is one for all the folks who have credit at GS and want Amazon credit or move credit to Amazon:

GS :360: DmC: Devil May Cry $37.99 (*Bday coupon + 10%PUR) ($27.36) > Amz ($33.25)
GS :ps3: DmC: Devil May Cry $37.99 (*Bday coupon + 10%PUR) ($27.36) > Amz ($33.00)

Note: Buy in store or do store pickup so you can use the Bday coupon to give you a better discount. Also, one coupon per use so you will have to do separate transactions to get the discount on multiple games.

* The Bday coupon is a linked image so click on it to get the better version.

... or those who just prefer the code to give to the cashier:

Thanks Dealseekers2U! I have a ton of Gamestop credit that I want to move to amazon. :bouncy:

I also saw some amazon video game gift cards at a gamestop, too bad they only had one and it was only a $25 video game gift card.

Wait, am I missing something here? Some people a few posts back were talking about sending items in as in "like new" condition. How do you do this? When I trade games into Amazon, they only give me the options of "good" or "acceptable" condition.

Okay, that makes sense. I was confused mainly by TooPoor's post in which he said:

[quote name='TooPoor']Why would you do that? As long as you keep your games scratch free, case crack free, complete and water damage free it's almost 100% going to be accepted as like new.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, no surprise. I had a debate with a fellow CAG over this on the last page. Definitely wouldn't recommend anyone select that option.

FWIW I've been having far more issues with Noram over the last two months than ever before. UPS lost a package, Noram never processed a return, two titles were marked as "incorrect" even though they were completely correct...and values have been, at least on my trade-ins, much lower than they used to be.

What Vigilante said. You only get 2 options when trading in games:

1. Good.
2. Acceptable

Acceptable only applies if you choose the option to not take the games back. Then they give you the rate associated with acceptable option if it is not up to their standards or in "good" condition.

Some have like new option for some reason- no description though, maybe they're getting rid of it.
 
Does anyone know how to search for USED games? I am sure someone has listed a Gears Of War Judgement on Amazon already. Is there a certain link for it? I know how to find USED games for the older titles. Was just wondering if there was a way to see if it's been put on the Marketplace already.

Shouldn't it be as easy as going to the main product page and looking at "More Buying Choices" on the right?

New games tend to be restricted for at least a few days, if not a couple of months. You won't find any used copies on there.

If you're interested in a copy, though, PM me. I wouldn't mind selling mine.
 
[quote name='cubeenigma']Anyone know what I need to trade in with my 3DS besides charger. Box? Stylus? SD card?[/QUOTE]

To get the highest value, expect to need everything it came with new (stylus, original box, sometimes even the plastic bags things were wrapped in). They're surprisingly uptight about that stuff when it comes to consoles.

Amazon is currently selling a 32gb Vita Memory card for $89.06 but the trade in value $102.90. So thats what $13 bucks profit if you wanted to tie up some cash into Amazon gift cards.

Personally I don't want to but figure some of you on here might want to for whatever reason :roll:.

Most people here have $89.06 in Amazon credit already and would just be doing it to make more credit.
 
yeah but you can only lock it in for trade in as good, which is $87.45. so eh....
i dont know if they will free upgrade you to 103 if it's sealed, but ymmv.
too risky for me with too lil profit margin, but too each their own.
n yeah i would just be doing credit to credit, but still not worth it. thanks tho
 
I submitted one for the 32gb card and it already says "processing..." does that mean they're going to cancel it?
Also, Assassin's Creed: Ezio Trilogy for PS3 is selling for $23 right now and trading for $24.

[quote name='perfectsil']not bad TIVs for recent games

Bioshock Infinite 43

Might have to jump on that GOW & Gears trade in.

Question, Gears and a lot of other games don't have any paper/physical instruction manuals anymore. Chance that might Gears Judgement might get rejected because I DON'T have one/there isn't one?

Are you guys that are trading it in, including the Gears of War 1 DLC card just to have something in there?

I think you should put in a note that says something like "This game does not come with a physical instructions booklet (The publisher has decided to replace physical booklets with electronic versions)."
 
Even though it sucks.. worth trying it out and sending back if your a fan.

Walking Dead Survival Instict trade in currently $31.05 which is odd since Amazon is selling for 29.99 to match bb.
 
43 for Bioshock Infinite. Had to submitted it but still unsure about letting it go. I kinda wanna keep it cuz it cames with Bioshock.

Not really. Bioshock Infinite is consistently selling around the $40s. Factor in shipping and eBay fees and you'll probably be getting less than you would from Amazon. Same situation with God of War.

DSi XL Starter Kit (Wine) - 70.00

This is a weird one because all colors share a upc (and the one that's generally available has a different upc than what's on Amazon apparently). However, if you feel lucky, available at TRU for $30 and Target (in-store) for $25.[/QUOTE]

Thanks Pete. Gonna give this one a shot. Gotta admit - this is the one thread I am always glad to see get bumped with good information.
 
While I'd support Amazon a billion times before I'd support Ebay, $38 in cash is worth more than $43 Amazon credit. You can easily take the $38-40 in cash and convert it to a lot more than $43 in Amazon credit.
 
Speaking of Devil's Cartel, GS has them and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 for $47.99 used (both systems) and with a certain coupon and PUR discount it comes out to $34.55 for them all each.

Trades in at Amazon as following:

:360: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 - $38.95
:360: Army of Two The Devil's Cartel - $38.95

GS also sells AMZ gift cards now digitally, so if you're just trying to move credit and don't want to wait or deal with the coupon stuff, that's an option too. Your way is definitely better if people want a free rental or to make a couple bucks by going through the trade in process though. Just an FYI...

I know about the digital $25 Amz gc at GS. This is more so as you said a rental + credit mover but also to get some PUR points in the process.
 
[quote name='SmokeMaxX']While I'd support Amazon a billion times before I'd support Ebay, $38 in cash is worth more than $43 Amazon credit. You can easily take the $38-40 in cash and convert it to a lot more than $43 in Amazon credit.[/QUOTE]

Or you could take $43 amazon credit and convert it to a lot more cash. It goes both ways.

I think the key here is that amazon is less of a hassle to most people.

It goes both ways but it's a lot easier to go from cash to something else than the other way around. Cash is worth more than credit.
