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!

Couldn't get a Kirby but did get two doctor who season 5s for $32 after the $5 off coupons from DVD trade program and tax! My store had like 7-8 doctor who season 5s still listed at $75 luckily they came up $19.99! Thanks CAG!
 
I have had no problem selling the Kirby Dream Collections I found from Blockbuster for 25 atleast without soundtrack, and $30 with soundtrack

 
Man, my shipped order is backordered and I still cannot access the hold/reserve option for F1 at Gamestop. It doesn't work.

Edit:
Couldn't I just match Kirby at Target? Have a gift card there.

Interesting, no end date on the tag.  I submitted it to Amazon for price match, after I locked in two copies for trade, hoping they'll match and if they do this won't be like the ongoing Defiance fiasco because the $30 trade is for brand new.

 
Be careful with those blu ray flips. I got the office for $12 to flip for $16 (lol $4) and they denied it because i opened it up and watched them all (and redeemed the online ultra violet copy or whatever). but im gonna keep doctor who sealed and hope they don't reject it... but heads up. now im out $12 and stuck with the office with no michael scott... lol

"

Movie - New Condition Eligibility Criteria
Trade-in items must match the exact version displayed in the Amazon Movies Trade-In Store.
Typical elements included with a movie: disc, case, artwork, and UPC.
Please check your item to ensure it meets this criteria:
  • Item is unused and sealed in original, unaltered packaging, with no additional markings or stickers"

Yeah, I was very careful to read that when I saw it was a condition I've never seen before. It also suggests that you need to carefully remove the price sticker.

I'm in the same boat with LOTR BFME II--my UPC on eBay is diff. from the EAN. Should I send it in without the case and get acceptable or am I fine enough to send it complete?

As I said, don't rely on the EAN--enter the UPC into the Amazon search bar (after setting the category to "Video Games"), hit Enter, and see what pops up. If the page for BfME II appears, then you're all set.

All I could find at GS was the 014633151978 UPC for LOTR:BME II. Has anyone who sent that UPC in got theirs accepted?

The Kirby game box has a "Not for resale" mark on the back of the game box. Is amazon gonna accept it?

I'm still under the impression that they don't but at the same time I got a used copy of AC3 from them this week that came out of a CE and had the not for resale zero bar code. It should have an actual UPC on the sleeve or something since they're not going to have just stuck it on the plastic wrap. Will they give you the full value without the sleeve and other stuff regardless? Not sure, but if it's as part of the whole package that's a non-issue. When things are marked "not for resale" it just means they're not supposed to be sold outside of the whole package.

Thanks guess I'll try and send in the whole package.

 
So much to my surprise I put in a store pickup order for that F1 2011 Vita game and was actually able to pick it up today.  My previous attempts at store pickup almost always resulted in "game not found" emails.

It even had the original case.  Question though - I have so few retail Vita games (since most of what I play on it is PS+ stuff) so I really have no idea about this: are manuals just not included with them (and in particular this one)?  If that is the case (and even if it is not ;)) I guess I should put a note in there about it so they don't auto-reject it because of that.

I have all of 2 retail copies of Vita games that I bought new and opened myself: LBP and Hot Shots Golf.  Both just have a single sheet "online activation code" and no other manual. So I'm guessing it is not standard to have them.

No manuals with any Vita games. Only thing they'll ever come with is an online pass if there is one.

Haha. Unless they can make money off your trade ins. I really wish NorAm was more accountable. It looks like multiple companies use NorAm though. I noticed that my Target trade in also ships to the same address in Hebron, KY. This whole defiance trade in experience has left a sour taste in my mouth. =/

Well, I'm sending my Defiance CEs in but I took pictures of the bar code, my Amazon ID and UPC showing the correct listing on Amazon all in the same pic so I'll have at least something to fall back on.

Also wrote a note on the trade-in printout for whoever the fuck is scanning those things.

I did the pay me instantly thing... not looking forward to this at all.

Just wondering, has ANYONE got their Defiance CE ACCEPTED? I mean SOMEONE must of had it get accepted, right?
Click to expand...
I did a few weeks back and the crazy thing was that it was from a warehouse deal purchase so I had to carefully try to peel off the warehouse sticker which was over the barcode which I failed at so I peeled off some of the actual UPC number and it was stuck on the Warehouse sticker. Then I had to try to piece back the UPC since it was on the residue of the Warehouse sticker so I did a half ass job and somehow it got accepted even when I forgot to put to give me the acceptable because I would've broke even so I was nervous there but in the end a sigh of relief.

Put in a sticky note where the manual would be that says "Vita games do not come with instruction manuals" and you shouldn't have any problems. I did that with Uncharted: Golden Abyss and received the full Good value.

 
My defiance CE has been processing for 3.5 days. I guess we'll see today although I did get my other one accepted about 1.4 weeks ago...

That was from a 3rd party on amazon and not GS tho

I know this won't come as a surprise but my Defiance CE (PlayStation 3) was rejected this morning. It had been processing since last Thursday. Of course the reason it wasn't accepted was "Wrong UPC".

I bought mine new from Amazon if that matters. I had opened it but everything was included.

I'm going to guess that from here on out all are going to be rejected.

 
If mine gets rejected I'm gonna contact them and ask why they opened it when they said the UPC is wrong. There is no reason to open an item when the UPC is on the outside

But I'm not sure if they scanned that outside UPC. Prior to shippnig, I entered both of mine into amazon's web site and they were both right. The only reason it could be "Incorrect UPC" is if they looked at the back of the case, or if they're just saying "Incorrect UPC" because they don't want to pay $70+.

This is why I'm not even bothering with Kirby. It clearly says not for resale on the inside case, and the box UPC doesn't match the case UPC.

If/when mine gets denied ill try and sell it on eBay for 57$ and whatever shipping costs. I just want to break even at this point.

Yeah, I agree. If they're opened, I'm debating whether or not to just send them back for the $28 TiV since I have no use for them. Sigh.

I'd like to break even as well, but I'm sure eBay is going to be flooded since this was on SD also. I can't imagine shipping being cheap as well.

Shipping costs look like they're around $20 per CE. You'd have to sell each CE for about $87 to break even after PayPal and eBay fees.

Even if they're opened couldn't you return it to Amazon on grounds that it wasn't described properly? This assumed you originally bought the Defiance CE from Amazon but if they denied the trade in due to "wrong UPC" then you could legitimately argue that Amazon sent you the wrong product...

I think a lot of us purchased them from GS. GS won't accept returns if they're opened.

 
well just dropped off defiance ce. took the gamble, 99% chance it gets rejected. I'm hoping they just downgrade it. Oh well, I'll take the lost. Got more than enough from gamestop flips. 

 
Im worried about the Kirby Dream land im sending in. The UPC on the box is the same as they have but the UPC on the game case itself is different but they are all like that.

I hope they dont refuse it based on that.

 
This is the first mass rejection i can recall. Since the UPC's match, it's very obvious that Noram is making a concerted effort to reject this trade across the board. I hope this isn't a sign of future problems.

Yeah, it didn't look good when a few days later there was one up on AWD like new for around $35. First time I can say I've been happy about missing out on a deal.

This is the second one. There was one in early January on DVDs. At that time, they actually try to stop people, by cancelling all the trade-in. This time they didn't.

this has been pretty weird - mostly in its high value and the fact that it was also highly publicized. normally this thread does a good job of flying under the radar (and when it doesn't, amazon has been known to actually contact the site).

just so there's no misconceptions here, this is _not_ a thread for flipping. posting tivs of interest is encouraged, and if they can be sourced somewhere to move credit to amazon that's cool too. this isn't about making phat bagz of cash or screwing amazon. I don't think any recent discussion has devolved to that, but just something to keep in mind. thanks!

Slickdeals isn't helping either. Noticed that the Defiance trade ins were posted there as well as the Kirby Dream Collections. Anyone think those will get rejected also?

Too much work. Much easier to open each new copy, reject them for having an incorrect upc, and ship them back. ;)
