Old thread, new thread here: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?p=8775793

WHEN REPORTING TRADE-IN VALUES PLEASE POST BASE VALUES & SYSTEM IT IS FOR.

First post contains promo information & useful information and frequently asked questions. The second post is blank currently but is there for expansion or to revert back to the way things were. Third post has the 360/Wii/PS3 values. Fourth post has the PS2/GC values. Fifth post has DS/PSP values. Sixth post has hardware/accessory values for all systems.

Instructions on finding games in the database and inputting the values from different sections can be found in my blog post here: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/blog.php?b=14143. I would put the entire post in the thread but this is already kind of a large post.

FAQ
These trade-in values are really low!
While that may be true, if you combine the games with the right promotion they can work to your advantage. There are knowledgeable people in this thread that are normally willing to help.

Is there any way to look at what the previous values reported on a game?
You can search through this thread and previous ones to see what a game has been reported in the past. With the TIV Tracker you can sort by date and then go through the list of past updated values through that as well. Here are the previous GS TIV Threads: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13

Can I trade-in sealed games?
No. You might come across the rare GameStop that would let you do it, but they are going to open them anyway.


 I don't want to get hassled about the values I post, how can I get the information out there?
If you do not feel comfortable or willing to put the values in the thread you have two options available. You can input them in the TIV tracker or you can send them to me via PM. Either way the database and these lists will be updated. Putting them into the TIV tracker does save me some time later on.

Do trade-ins have to have their original case, insert and manual?
No, however it will be YMMV on if they charge you a refurbish fee for them in that condition. Most GameStops wont charge a fee but there are some that charge for incomplete games.

Will they accept my game if it is really beat up?
YMMV. It really all depends upon the employee you get. Some will charge refurbish fees, some wont, some wont accept the game and others just take them without a second glance.

What are the refurb fees on games?
There appears to be set prices for set value ranges. We aren't 100% certain on the splits just yet. Here is what we have currently:
$0.25-$2 Value: $0.75 Refurb Fee
$2.01-$4 Value: $1 Refurb Fee
$4.01-$7 Value: $2 Refurb Fee
$7.01-$10 Value: $3 Refurb Fee
$10.01 & Higher Value: $4 Refurb Fee
This information isn't guaranteed by any mean and we are still working on nailing it down.

What are the refurb fees on consoles?
They are listed in the hardware TIV section, highlight in red.


I have a Collector's/Limited/Special edition of a game, do I have to trade-in all of the extras?
No, but there are a handful of games that their variations have separate listings at GameStop: Madden 09 Anniversary Edition, Battlefield: Bad Company Gold Edition, and a few others.

Why didn't the percent bonus go for my accessory for a system that was included?
Unless stated otherwise, and they are rarely included, the bonuses never apply to accessories. Except the EDGE card of course.

I traded in a bunch of games for the "Trade X, get $X bonus" promo and it gave me the percentage bonus instead?
I can't give concretes on why this happens. GameStop computers are normally pretty good at giving you the better promo. In the case of a percentage bonus being run at the same time as a "Trade X, get $X" promo, things can get messy. The system appears to only give one promo on games per transaction so if you had a few games that you want to go to the percentage bonus and a stack for the "Trade X, Get $X" it will regularly apply the percentage to all of the games. Your best bet is to do all "Trade X, Get $X" games in one transaction on their own. The GameStop clerk may say that the system will figure it all out, tell them you want a separate transaction anyway. As always, check your receipt before you leave the store.


Can I trade in multiple copies of the same game?
YMMV. The official policy is no, but there are some GameStops that overlook that rule.

What all do I have to trade in for a console trade-in?
Xbox 360: Console Unit, power brick, A/V Cables, Controller (wired/wireless)
Wii: Console Unit, Power Cable, A/V Cables, Wiimote, Nunchuck, Sensor Bar
Playstation 3: Console Unit, Power Cable, A/V Cable, Controller, USB Cable
Playstation 2: Console Unit, Power Cable, A/V Cable, Controller (Must be a DualShock2) *Fat unit requires either back cover or network adapter*
GameCube: Console Unit, Power Cable, A/V Cable, Controller
PSP: Handheld, A/C Adapter
Nintendo DS/DSLite/DSi: Handheld, A/C Adapter, Stylus

 Can I trade in a defective/broken console?
For the most part yes. If it powers on but doesn't play games, they will take the console as a refurb unit and put a refurb fee on the console. The refurb fee on the console will vary on the price of the console so those numbers will change. You are still required to trade in everything required listed in the question directly above. They will not, however, take RROD 360 consoles. There may be stores that still do it, but official policy is to not take them in.

What is the difference between PowerUp Rewards and PowerUp Rewards Pro?
The basic card is free and only allows you to acrew points when spending money. The Pro card costs $14.99 and is basically the same as the previous EDGE program.

How much does a PowerUp Rewards Pro subscription cost?
It costs $14.99 and is good for a year. It also comes with a 1-year subscription to Game Informer magazine.

What bonuses come with having an PowerUp Rewards Pro card?
You will get an extra 10% trade-in credit on the base value of the game, extra 10% off the purchase of pre-owned games and 10% off new strategy guides.

 Does the Power Up Rewards Card give me a bonus on hardware trade-ins?
No. You will only get the bonus for games and accessories.

What if I want cash instead of credit, what do they deduct?
If you decide that you want cash instead of credit, they will take 20% off the base values and promos will not apply.

Does promo "....." have a minimum trade-in value?
If the promo has a minimum trade-in value requirement, it will be listed in the promo. If it isn't there, then there is no limit. However, as with all trades, they are subject to manager approval so the manager could have setup his own little rule-set requiring a minimum of whatever.

I used a Power Trade promo for a pre-order, can I cancel that pre-order and get the credit or move it to another game I want?
Yes on both accounts. However, if you do a bunch of the power trades and just straight drop the pre-order you could create some ill-will between yourself and the employees you cancel on. However, if you look at the wordings on promos, they can remove the bonus trade-in value if they decide to.

I just tried to use a promo that has a select list of games eligible, but they say my game isn't eligible anymore, what gives?
Basically they have the right to change the eligible games at any time. They tend to update these frequently so as to lock out any easy/cheap games. It's best to check the eligible list the day of your trade.

Can I stack two different trade-in promos?
No. The only thing that will stack with trade-ins is your EDGE card. Some will report success, but this requires a manual override and is very YMMV.

If I pay for an item using all credit on my card, do I have to pay sales tax?
This varies depending upon the state you live in.

What states charge sales tax on purchases paid in full with credit and which ones don't?
Charge Sales Tax on Credit Purchases: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia
Does Not Charge Sales Tax on Credit Purchases: Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming
No Information Yet:


My state doesn't charge sales tax on purchases made by credit, why is gamestop.com charging me tax?
It is just the way they have designed their system. The best theory we have seen is that since you are only inputting the number off of the back of the card, it isn't going to pick up the programming from the specially tagged EDGE cards. Some kind of programming that gets input from their system that wont show up when only inputting the number off the back of the card.

[quote name='theblizzman']Does anyone think the $50 more trade in will this work if I want to trade in my ps3 for a Vita Preorder?[/QUOTE]
It says new hardware, so I don't see why it wouldn't. It it specifically mentioned consoles, then I think you'd be out of luck.

That's because it was on sale along with the other EA games.
 
[quote name='arsenal_fan']Guys 4 days ago I got a new game from GS but it was not sealed or anything. I wanted to gift it to someone and removed the GS sticker. Turns out that someone already has the game and now I want to return it. You think they'll give me problems saying this game was new and opened so you can't return or whatever?[/QUOTE]

I rarely buy gutted new games at GS. When I did, the GS employee would place a clear sticker to seal it shut to represent it was "new."

Since your gutted new game wasn't sealed, I think it might be hard to return it as a new item unless the employee, who originally sold it to you, is present and remembers you.

I hope you can get your $ back. Good luck!

Thanks. That sounds bad though. I paid $20 at GS but Amazon has a TIV of $14.50. So atleast in the worst case scenario I'll lose $5.
 
Hey, quick question guys.

For the extra 40% in trade-in credit. I know during a previous promotion they were handing out physical coupons. Do I have to have that, or would a printout of the picture in the OP suffice?

All the stores I have traded into with it(all of 2, mind you) have had a coupon behind the counter that they scanned. I haven't had to produce one yet.
 
How does the 3 for $10 work? I mean is it an additional $10 over the base TIV for each or $10 extra TIV when you trade in 3 or is it basically trade in 3 games hopefully with TIV ~1.50 so that you can make $10. That just seems a $5 profit for $5 spent. I'm new to these GS promos so am confused.

Works great for games that have base value of like $1.50 - $7.00

basically it gives you a 3.33 Bonus for each game you trade in.

If you get 3 games that trade in for $1.50 instead of getting just $4.50 you get $14.50 that a over 200% bonus.

this is why i refuse to buy gutted games..but assuming the GS store has good service and you remember who you bought it from, you should be okay, especially if its not too long ago.
 
I personally think it will be a hard battle to win, the GS employee will claim they put the clear sticker on it.

They will claim they do not know if you played it or not, and may not be able to sell it as new if it has been played before.

The cutoff point is around the $12 mark on base TIV for the trade X get $X to be better than just X% more.

So if you have a bunch of games that normally trade under $10, this is the time to trade them.

Actually with the current 40+10 the cutoff would be about $7. So anything under $7 hold on til 3 for $10 and anything over $7 trade now for one of the 40+10 deals
 
Trade 3 get $10 bonus starts Sunday right? I'm saving the games that has a trade value under $5 before that promo goes live. Until then, I got that 40% bonus to use on the ones I have that have at least a TIV of $10.

Of course it varies depending upon the offer, but the recent % offers have been 40% plus 10% PUR bonus for a total bonus of 50%... that makes a game with a $7 base TIV better under the 50% bonus. Obviously if it's a 30% bonus offer, then 11 base TIV is the cut off.
 
Trade Values 7/8:

depends does the +25 apply to the 3ds? (I assume its part of the DS series in gamestops eyes) and is that included in the 150? I mean 125 base for a 3ds is sad...

Applied with the current promo puts it at $175. So I was really satisfied with the trade-in.

Also, I don't know if this was mentioned, but I traded in the charging dock for it too. I don't know if it's required for trade-in.

[quote name='dyeknom']The 40% bonus. Technically, you have to use the entire amount to place on the pre-order (according to the fine print). The excess is, well, YMMV[/QUOTE]

The YMMV part is definitetly true. I had about $165 of TIV after bonuses from my recent trade in and while they normally let you save the leftover credit on the card after preordering at least one qualifying item the employee at my location initially said it all had to be put towards pre-orders on the list. They must have received some sort of memo because they usually let me put overage back on the card with past promos. Anyway, he let me use some of the credit on pre orders not on the list and to pick up F3AR since I wanted that one and it was on sale for $40.

In addition to F3AR I ended up getting UC 3 & Battlefield 3 fully paid off and put the rest towards Halo: Aniversary. With 3 preorders that I will actually pick up and keep, I would say it was a good day for both of us.

I guess my point is, they may bend the rules if you ask nicely.

Yeah, but if the sticker isn't on it, the employee is just doing his job. How many people come in and try to sell them the same old song and dance. I'm not saying the OP is trying to scam them but plenty of people do. The cashier would get in more trouble if he accepted the return.

anyway, Dead to Rights Retribution xbox is $8.
 
how come so many games have gone up in price used on gamestop? hell even a used copy of gow3 is more expensive than the new one.
 
@arsenal_fan, sorry to hear that you couldn't return your game and get your $ back. Did you try talking with the GS manager? Maybe, they'll make an exception this time and allow the return.

Case in point. I was standing behind a guy who was trying to return an opened copy of Battlefield Bad Company 2 the other day. He even admitted that he had used the DLC code. He didn't think it was "fair" that he had to trade it in as opposed to returning it for full value.

Like Confoosious said, the OP is likely in an honest situation, but he will be out of luck because of the countermeasures gamestop has to take against the crazy people.
