NEW THREAD LOCATED HERE: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/topic/316500-gamestop-tivpromos-thread-xxi-3-extra-on-every-game-2-and-higher-when-trading-in-3-or-more-games-kindle-cards-come-back/

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

First post contains promo information & useful information and frequently asked questions. Second post has the values for games/hardware for Microsoft devices. Third post has the values for games/hardware for Nintendo consoles and the fourth post has the values for Nintendo handhelds. Fifth post has the values for games/hardware for Sony consoles and the sixth post has the values for Sony handhelds.

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.

WHEN POSTING VALUES:

Please try to follow the example below if possible. If you feel the need to use the system icons, please only use them once at and at the top of the list. Also always post the system it's for even if it's only on one system. I may not always know it.

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, 14, 15,16, 17, 18, 19, Old thread links don't work,,,,,

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 PowerUp Rewards 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
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.

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 PowerUp Rewards 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.

If I buy a used copy of a game that requires an online pass for multiplayer, will it come with an online pass?
If you purchase a used title published by either Sony or WB you get an online pass from GS on your receipt. That's also why the used copies are $55 instead of $48 when the MSRP is $60. No GS issued passes of games published by EA, THQ, etc. On those titles you're totally dependent on the previous owner not using the code.

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, 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
May or May Not Charge, Depending Upon County: Florida,

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.

Metro: Last Light for Xbox 360

I called two different GameStop's in my area (Brooklyn, NY) and one store on 18th avenue told me $27 while the one on 86th st and 21st ave told me $20 in credit. I'm going to assume that the $27 price is bullcrap because I dont know why two stores would have different prices. Shouldnt they all be the same?

when you call you should ask specifically for the base trade in value. it sounds like $20 is the base, and the other store quoted you the max possible TIV as $20 + 10%/$2 PUR bonus + $5 from the trade in 7 games you get $35 bonus = $27

I've learned that sometimes you have to call multiple stores to get a value. Some of them just tell you whatever they feel like saying.

[quote name='JaylisJayP']Trading Metro in already? Was it bad?[/QUOTE]

No. I would rate it an 8.5. I literally just finished it an hour ago but once I finish a game, I trade it in while its at the maximum value. Game froze on me in the last hour a few times. Atmosphere, story, etc. was good. No major complaints. Just didnt enjoy it as much as I enjoyed Far Cry 3. Not worth $60 in my opinion (of course, few games are) and wanted to wait until a sale for $40 but I was bored and had the credit so I figured what the hell.

Today turned out to be one of my better days shopping for games. Picked two lego ps3 games listed above at a Fye store priced for $6.99 each. They were having a b2g1 free so i couldnt decide on the third game and just randomly picked up a Dbz game for the wii with the same price. Lo and behold that game turned out to be one of the rarer games for the wii next to xenoblade and metriod prime trilogy...dragonball z budokai tenkaichi 3!

Nice to see a CAG in the Bensonhurst area. I also noticed 1 day when I went to the 18 ave store that they seemed to make up a trade in price when I went to person to ask for a value of a game so I wouldn't be surprised if that store gave you false information.

True. I'm going to GameStop tomorrow to trade in my PS2 just to get rid if it and pre-order Last of Us. Then, im going to Best Buy because im pretty sure I'll get more in credit for Metro: LL there than I will in GameStop.

If the games are on different systems I haven't had an issue but same system 2 copies of 1 game is pretty difficult to trade in unless you and the manager/employee are buds.

Not to be that guy, but FYI Metro 2033 sells for about $45 used before fees on Amazon currently.
 
Has anyone had issues with activating the Kindle cards? I bought a few but they didn't work even though the receipt gave a reference number (meaning it's activated?).

I ended up getting refunded on them.
 
My 8 were good. There was someone who posted a few days back that said they had 1 or 2 that didn't work out of a batch they got.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']so amazon kindle cards can be used as amazon credit or what? I'm confused[/QUOTE]
Yeah, it even says on the card can be used on anything on Amazon's website.

$103.20 after 10% extra and $35 bonus.
 
What are promos #14726 and #14725. I went through and traded off a huge chunk of 360 games, 49 games total that where all over $3 to get the tier bonus.

Ive read stories bout the computer sometimes not going past 12 games on the tier.

I had 7 Stacks of 7 games, that should be around $245 extra in promos.

Im seeing these promos on my receipt

#14725 Normally showing around $3.35
#14726 Looks to always be $4.00
#14727 always $5.00


Ive did 2 trades over 2 days, 21 games first day and 28 today. Looking at my receipt it seems I was cut short prolly an estimate of well over $100.

Is there anything I can do, should i go back with my receipts?


*Edit*
Just added up all the promos from my receipt, minus the powerups and for my first transaction with 3 stacks of 7 was $65, should have been $105
2nd trad was 4 stacks of 7, receipt shows $65, should have been $140.

Looks like i was cut short $115


**Edit 3 2**

Got my transactions fixed, was shorted $112 but was taken care of

Obviously, those sound like the $10, $20, $35 codes. Well, judging by the values.

There's no way I would have signed off on that without checking everything first! I like to have a ballpark number, beforehand, but I can kinda see how you didn't with such a huge trade.

That's a big chunk you signed off on. You better go back!

Is there anything I can do, should i go back with my receipts?


*Edit*
Just added up all the promos from my receipt, minus the powerups and for my first transaction with 3 stacks of 7 was $65, should have been $105
2nd trad was 4 stacks of 7, receipt shows $65, should have been $140.

Looks like i was cut short $115[/QUOTE]
I doesn't matter how many "stacks" you have if you don't do each stack of 7 in it's own transaction. You should have 7 separate receipts. Do you have that?
 
[quote name='ChunLiBarbie']Obviously, those sound like the $10, $20, $35 codes. Well, judging by the values.

There's no way I would have signed off on that without checking everything first! I like to have a ballpark number, beforehand, but I can kinda see how you didn't with such a huge trade.

That's a big chunk you signed off on. You better go back![/QUOTE]



Well my first trade sounded right, but the one day shocked me, it was so busy in the store i didn't have time to go over my receipt to check everything. But i called them, and they are going over my trasnactions, waiting for the call back.

That's not the case, it doesn't matter how many "stacks" you have, you don't have to do separate transactions. Ive did this promo before trading in just as many games. As JP has reported before sometimes the computer has problems when going over 14 in a set of 7 games, and i think it is what happened today. Ive done it before and it gave me the promo as intended.

You don't have to, but this is exactly why you should want to do 7 separate transaction.

I agree with you, wont happen again. but they called and told me to come out, hopefully be able to straighten it out.
 
yeah, haha, i sent my friend to go get some amazon credit from gamestop and he came back and said sorry bro no go they only had kindle credit. lol fail. he went back the next day and got me $300 kindle cards, lol. douche employees. glad the manager got let go tho, so ill have to check it out if i can trade in stuff now or not.
 
Looks like the computer didn't do the batches right. You can go back with your receipts but I'm not sure you'll get much satisfaction. 25, 26 and 27 all are part of 3/5/7 looking at the break downs.
