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.

Power Up Rewards Change:
[quote name='Anonymous GameStop Employee']In 4 markets from April 30-June 9 there's going to be a change to Powerup Pro subscriptions/renewals. I believe it's the 4 markets that first beta tested PUR, but not sure on that. I know my market (STL) beta tested PUR and now this.

The base price of PUR Pro is staying at $14.99 but that is only for a digital subscription to the magazine. If you want the physical magazine, it will come with the digital sub, but at a price of $19.99. This affects all new subs/renewals in the 4 markets for the above period, with a likely national rollout later this year.

No matter how much you complain in the four markets this is happening in, store managers, area managers, district managers, whatever, will be unable to get you a print subscription for $14.99.

If you're wanting print, I would suggest renewing your PUR Pro this weekend before this kicks in.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='Anonymous GameStop Employee #1']Can you just let the group know the next trade value is

Trade 3 get 10, trade 5 get 20, trade 7 get 35 games must be a minimum of 3.00 to qualify.
[/QUOTE]

[quote name='Anonymous GameStop Employee #2']So GS stores should soon be receiving physical Amazon gift cards to put into their gift cards racks to be sold. They are labeled as Kindle cards but we all know how that works. Seems to be a chain-wide thing as my store is the home store of an area manager (step below district manager) and we had a long conversation about this today so it's not meant as some type of backup to a promo like the digital codes were.

On a note if you want to know more about the GS clientele, we have also gotten Shell gas cards in the same shipment. Since all Circle K stations are Shell stations, we are now able to stop having as many cash trades and get people to go credit to get the gas cards (I did it twice yesterday although I had to sell them a copy of MLB 2K8 to get them over $25 on one of the transactions.)

Our store is so physically small these are the first non console/Steam/WoW/SWTOR we've gotten, no YUM cards or anything like that for us until this week. At our store, I estimate about 2/3 of our cash trades are for gas, the other 1/3 have to assume are for drugs. So hopefully we don't have to give out as much cash now.[/QUOTE]

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 ,,,,,,

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.

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, 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.

Never received an empty generic case before, but I have received Hummer Unleashed for the PS2 with a decent print out of the disc art for Eternal Poison glued onto Hummer Unleashed, then a well used rental sticker over Eternal Poison's copied label............ instead of the game Eternal Poison which I really did want.

Hummer Unleashed works with the fake label on there, but it's like a $1 game so I returned it to my local store complaining on how much their warehouse is slipping up these days.
 
[quote name='Deader2818']If you lost your Receipt, can Gamestop pull it up? I want to return Disgaea that i bought used on friday since its going to be free this month.[/QUOTE]

Yes, but you have to have a PUR card and it would be easier to goto the store you originally bought it from. Most likely you'll get store credit back if you've lost your receipt and is within return policy.
 
[quote name='sasukekun']Yes, but you have to have a PUR card and it would be easier to goto the store you originally bought it from. Most likely you'll get store credit back if you've lost your receipt and is within return policy.[/QUOTE]
Very YMMV on that as I have not been able to do a return at GS if I lost the receipt even if my PUR history shows the purchase was recent.

Okay I know this TIV is old but it helps update the date a bit and JP can add refurb fee for Slim.

Slim 4GB Console w/ wireless controller - $60 (2/21/13)

Hardware Refurb Deduction
Slim 4GB Console w/ wireless controller -$35 (2/21/13)
I ended up with $75 after the old $50 promo
 
Huh, rectifying the problem was simpler than I imagined. Called, explained the situation, and the lady said a replacement would be sent with no hassle. That's both awesome and a little disconcerting, since her attitude made it seem like this is a common issue.

Key word bolded.

Typically they aren't suppose to accept two identical copies (2 from the same console) in a single visit.

If you trade lets say Left 4 Dead last week and wanted to trade another copy of it this week then it's no problem. If you trade 2 copies of Left 4 Dead in a single visit that's when they are suppose to decline you the 2nd copy.
 
Today 3/5/2013

Disgaea 3 Vita $14

Used the 30% bonus trade in to preorder Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. Yet another way that PS Plus pays in the long run (as Disgaea 3 is free this month on PS Plus).

Hate to burst your Internet tough-guy bubble, but the official company policy is that a customer can trade in 2 copies of the same game in a transaction. This goes back to previous system generations when people had 2 copies of games for system link multi-player. So, it IS pretty common.

Link?

I've traded in a lot of games to a lot of different GS stores in the SoCal area and have always been told that there's a one game per console per transaction limit. Now, they've let me get away with trading more on occassion, but that was the exception, not the rule, and I've always considered it YMMV. I'd love it if there were an actual official policy I could reference...
 
Official policy is one game per system. Exceptions can be made, if like a family or something comes in and the kids each have the same DS game it might make sense because they both have a DS, but policy is one game per system. Some go farther saying one copy total, but last I heard it's fine to trade in two copies of the same game if the system is different.

One thing that clears all activities at pretty much any GameStop is "All trades subject to manager approval" which is an open statement allowing each store manager/district manager to restrict/allow different practices.
 
I just did a trade-in and the guy scanned in the wrong game. He marked it as a Vita game instead of a PS3. Am I allowed to go back and get it adjusted or no? I know I signed something, just don't know what. I tried calling but no one is picking up haha.

Technically once you sign GameStop is relieved of all liability but if you go back to the store today and talk to the same employee they might be able to help you out.

One sure-fire way to prevent this from happening in the future is to go over the digital screen which displays your trade ins, and make sure the values seem accurate for what you're expecting. Also, even after you sign and get the receipt make sure you read through it and its the right title/version you are trading in.

Happened to me the other day. I was able to call and get it fixed. Was a painful process but eventually the manager (who made the mistake himself) was able to do it. I just had to read of the numbers on my PUR card.

I think the empolyees have an incentive to fix this problem because if left unfixed, it means having the store's inventory off.

I'd recommend calling asap and asking to speak to the employee whose name is on your receipt.
 
The policy is up to the manager. You will get the one per transaction limit 99% of the time. I did get a manager to take 5 or more copies of the same game sealed. So ymmv call and talk to a manager.

did you seriously just reply like that? i'm a douche, now? I'm telling others my experiences when I traded games at Gamestop.

I'm not telling anyone to do anything. I traded those games without even a comment from the clerk about it. It happened, people can use the information anyway they see fit just like everything else on this great site.

I don't need any misguided animosity for it.

Makes sense. Thats basically what i had the copies for too. I had 2 copies of Operation Raccoon City and Ghost Recon. Since neither game has split screen I got cheap copies for my roomate and I to play online together in the same house.

On a side note: If you finished Vergil's Downfall, DmC is at $33 as a trade in at Amazon today for both PS3 & Xbox 360. Sincerely, douche.

Uninformed employee. It's because our system requires to give a serial number for it and it isnt labeled anywhere on the shuffle itself. They are supposed to put the model number of the shuffle for the serial number to be able to take it in.

FYI, if you're selling your 4th gen shuffle let me know, I am looking to buy one :)

Thanks for that. The odd part is that I still had the case for it, so it had all the information for it on/in the plastic casing. He just looked at it and quickly gave it back to me. I had the same issue with my iPod Touch I traded in a year or so ago (same employee, too), and I was given the wrong (lower) value for it. That was definitely my fault for not checking and knowing the value for it at the time. This time I looked online before I went in a few days ago and figured it would be an easy exchange.

Also, it was pink, and my brother's girlfriend loves pink anything. When I told him I couldn't get rid of it, he said she'd take it (for free, of course). Ugh.
