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.

Yeah, my iPad mini is flawless but even if they downgraded it to good for some reason I should break even on what I paid with tax. While it puts a knot in my stomach to make such a decision so quickly I don't see how I can not. Getting that much for an 8 month old device that will only continue to devalue. I'm only a $25 gift card into the app store and if I miss having a tablet can still grab a Fire or Nexus 7 and come out ahead. There's only one valid logical decision.

Xbox 360:

A couple new values that werent in the OP yesterday:

Otomedius Excellent: $5

Monsters vs Aliens: $5

WWE 12: $11

Lord of the Rings War in the North: $6

Captain America: $7.50

Zumba Core: $7

Wii Fit Plus: $4.50

Ended up biting on the Powerup Rewards Pro...I really should have done it before my first trade. I just need to find 1 more game and I'll have another 7 in before the deadline Sunday.

Not to mention the next iPad mini is likely to have retina.

I currently have an iPad 3 but don't think I could sell it because it's jailbroken and I won't be able to jailbreak any new devices due to the new firmware (6.1.3 or newer) not being jailbreakable. I do plan to upgrade to the iPad 5 eventually though.

Came out to $251 after getting a PUR Pro card and with 3x the $35 bonus. Picked up $150 in Amazon cards and $50 for PSN, as well as a few PS3 games (I just got a PS3 and a Vita this week). Definitely happy with the trip, especially since most of those games are ones that I also own on PC, which is where I'll want to play them now that I have a good PC.

 
Anybody know when GameStop will stop giving the 50% coupon? If its soon I might get my wife a power up card so I can get the 50% coupon before this ends.

To the issue of the Wii Remote - there's no different between a Wii Plus and a Wii U Plus; they're the same thing right? I have 4 Wii Plus controllers that I used for my Wii. I'd be pretty happy if I could get $28.7 per controller with the 50% coupon.
Click to expand...
Yeah, it's the same thing, just in new Wii U branded packaging. Even on Gamestop.com it states it works with both the Wii and Wii U.

Click to expand...
I was just at Gamestop and asked the employee if they were still doing the 3/5/7 promotion since I had some games to trade. He told me to hold off until Monday since the 50% bonus for trades will start then. I have several $5 games though so I may just do it on the current promo--assuming the tiv's stay similar as of Monday.

Can any GS employee itt confirm this?

Would I lie to you? =o)

 
Asking in a separate post, since I think it may have gotten buried:

Anyone know what the policy is for hard drives?  When I upgraded to a slim I put my old fat HDD in an aftermarket case for the slim -- to trade it in does it have to be an official Microsoft case?  Do they check for seals, etc.?

I don't know why the employee told me that. I just asked if the 3/5/7 thing was still good to go. Didn't even cross my mind to pry for what the next promotion would be, but I left with that nugget of info.

 
Of course I can't find a battery cover for this 360 controller, should have one somewhere but have always used the rechargeable packs.  Will they still take it at a reduced price or is there anywhere you can get one?

You're not going to get the same amount as the MS hard drive. They see it as a knock off and probably would not even take it b/c it's not in their system. I did the same thing with my hard drive but I am not planning on trading it in.

 
TIV from today:

All 360

Kinect Sports $5

NBA 2k12 $5

Tomb Raider $12

NBA 2k13 $15

Mortal Kombat vs. DC $6

Skate 3 $7

Bigs 2 $6

I got $90.60 after 2 refurb fees for the NBA games.  For once I didn't mind as I got those as part of a 360 bundle off Craigslist and they were definitely scratched.  Considering I paid $100 and got a 4GB 360 and $90 worth of GS credit, I think I came out all right. PS4 is now completely paid off!

Check out the OP, it will have the values listed for those games that people have posted. Please note the date by the game, showing the last time someone reported the value. It's important to remember that GS values can change on any given day and more than likely drop in value as time goes on. If you want more up-to-date values then call a GS in Hawaii or wait until tomorrow morning and you can ask for the Base Trade in Value. Values that people post in this thread should for the most part should be the Base TIV, which is before any bonus values.

As for the instruments I don't think Gamestop takes those anymore.

Correct GS does not take instruments. If they are unstickered and in good shape, sell them on Amazon/EBay/CL. You'll be surprised by what you can get for them, especially on Amazon.

I also have a semi working drums, 2 semi working guitars, and a working mic.



Check out the OP, it will have the values listed for those games that people have posted. Please note the date by the game, showing the last time someone reported the value. It's important to remember that GS values can change on any given day and more than likely drop in value as time goes on. If you want more up-to-date values then call a GS in Hawaii or wait until tomorrow morning and you can ask for the Base Trade in Value. Values that people post in this thread should for the most part should be the Base TIV, which is before any bonus values.

As for the instruments I don't think Gamestop takes those anymore.

Will do sir, hopefully this can reach $300!

Correct GS does not take instruments. If they are unstickered and in good shape, sell them on Amazon/EBay/CL. You'll be surprised by what you can get for them, especially on Amazon.

I would but they semi work haha
 
OMG, could you put more needless nested quotes in there?  Looked for the last couple hours for that battery cover and no luck at all, I'm sure I'll come home and find it soon as I trade the controller.Guess I'll take it and see if they'll take it anyway.

They won't take it unless you have the play and charge kit to go with the controller.

Between the 3/5/7 trade-in and 50% trade-in bonus , which one is the better offer?

Do the elementary math. It should guide you on your simple quest.

And before you ask. 50% coupon is with a PUR renewal or signup. Its that simple. And it works on anything. ANYTHING! Takes 48hrs to a week to receive it.

anyone know if there's a console trade in deal coming up? I can buy a used Wii and fat 360 for under $100. Wondering if its worth getting them for trade fodder. I already own both systems.

 
Does the 3/5/7 promo end today or tomorrow? Whenever retail says ends 6/23, I never know if it means you still have that day or not

Assuming to get the base values I just need to subtract the bonus from what I got on the receipt?  Hopefully I'm doing this right, if I screwed up someone tell me and I'll fix it.

iPad mini 16GB Like New $230.00

:360:

Wireless controller $15.50

Wired headset $3.50

Wireless headset w/ charger $4.50

Live vision camera $1.00

Charge kit w/ battery $4.00

:wii:

Classic Controller $5.75

:ds:

Feel the Magic $0.05

:ps3:

MLB 13 The Show $18

Total trade: $442.35

With the trade bonus I was $4 short of what I paid for the iPad 8 months ago, tax included.  I'm a little shocked, and hugely thrilled, that those random 360 accessories I forgot I even had when I traded the system came to almost $70 though.  The guy was awesome and found an extra battery cover laying around for that controller so got full value there.  Got some of the Skylanders stuff that was on sale, $200 in Amazon credit and left the rest as GS credit for now in case I need gas cards or something from GS.

The 7/$35 bonus has to be done seperatly right? For instance if u have 14 games valued all over $3 each you must do the trades in 2 seperate transactions(7 + 7) correct?

Went for the Skylanders thing today and traded in 7 games:

Total w/ promo came to $70.25 and they offered me PowerUp Pro for $7.99 (idk). I took that and have $62.21 on my account. 

Edit: I have a ton of sub-$3 games. Does Gamestop ever have any offers where I can take advantage of this stockpile?
