Welcome to the Official CAG Amazon.com Trade-In Thread

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. 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!

[quote name='Indigo_Streetlight']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.[/QUOTE]

GENERAL FAQ (Updated 06/07/2011)
Can I post a question on this thread?
  • Only if you can't find the answer from below. :lol: And please let me know if it needs to be added to FAQ.
Can I edit this FAQ? (updated 6/7/11)
  • You bet! Up top there is a section for notable TIVs - feel free to add anything in there (and if you can remember, clean up after yourself in a few days when the TIV has undoubtedly dropped). You can edit the FAQ too, please just make sure it's useful and well formatted! Thanks!
Since when did Amazon start doing trades?
  • The program began in 2009 and is handled by a third party merchant, NorAm International.
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. The address is:
    NorAm International
    22 Hampshire Dr
    Hudson, NH 03051
    (This is also an option when submitting your trades)
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. 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?
  • 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.
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 6/8/11)
  • Usually a day or with little delay at all, but the longest reported days so far is 4.
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 NorAm 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!
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 NorAm.
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/gamestaq/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 NORAM 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)
      Click to expand...

      [*]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
      Click to expand...

      [*]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)
      Click to expand...
    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 6/9/11)
  • Not sure yet, but that's the name on the trade-in shipping labels now instead of NORAM. May just be NORAM with a different name. This will be updated as we learn more.
Post away!

I think it really depends on where you live. For us West Coasters it really can't be sent much after the deadline because of the 7-9 days shipping time for UPS Groundsloth. If you live near NorAm you can probably push it to a week past the deadline. The most I've ever waited is 1 day after the deadline - had no problems with that ;).
 
Is the 50% trade in bonus today or tomorrow?
I checked my trade in cart and tried adding a game and I see no bonus

Head here for the promo page (edit: looks to be 100 select titles, nothing too exciting that jumps out at me at least. the tracker isn't showing any changes yet, but the only other thing I've noticed is that the blue 3ds tiv tanked by about $20):

I knew I should have lowered my expectation. A marginal bump on only a 100 titles. I think this only benefits those who purchased the recent titles. So lame.
 
Forza 4 is the only higher value that stands out to me. Most of the values for games I purchased and considered trading were this high a week ago.

I can only hope that Best Buy has some very great success with their trade-in program, forcing Amazon to at least try to offer incentives to trade-in there in the future.
 
Battlefield 3 on PS3 has a trade-in value of $40.50. I may just have to let mine go for that price. inFAMOUS 2 trades in for $29.85 as well :)
 
[quote name='mrman1980']battlefield 3 it states standard edition so i am not sure if they would accept limited edition for it[/QUOTE]

Pretty sure they will accept it. I think it was the same for bfbc2. UPC should be the same.

There is no separate listing for limited edition so I imagine they would take it.

There is a separate listing, it's just not eligible for trade-ins. But like others have said, the UPC of either leads to the standard version so it doesn't matter.
 
Several titles went way down on my spreadsheet overnight. Games that were $8 yesterday are $5 today. Only two titles went up (Uncharted and Soul Calibur 4).

methinks amazon will increase the prices after this "one day sale" is over.
 
[quote name='ClevelandBrowns']There is no separate listing for limited edition so I imagine they would take it.[/QUOTE]

I traded in my limited BF3 two weeks ago with no problem.
 
Looks like this is real hit or miss. FORZA 4 went up to $40 so I'm glad I held out for a few days. Also traded in FAMILY GAME NIGHT 3 which went from $7 to $12. Everything else in my list stayed the same but I'll take the extra $12 on those two anyway.
 
I have no idea where Black Ops was before but it's 19.50 right now. It was probably higher before MW3 came out but I didn't even think about trading it in until I saw it on this list.

If I remember correctly, it was around 18 on 360 yesterday.
 
Sonic Generations went up to a $35.10 TIV, so needless to say, I'm trading that in. I only paid $17.99 for it on release, so that's quite a nice little profit from playing it.
 
You know you don't have to track values and you can just use the tracker? ;)

Really tempted to trade in Arkham City and Infamous 2. Not sure if I'll how likely it'll be that I'll really want to replay them again.

Much to my own surprise I've been having Arkham City withdrawl ever since I traded it in. I'm cuckoo for those stupid Batman games.
 
Might be worth locking in Batman and Uncharted 3 and then if I get them at Best Buy at the BF presale for Silver members I can trade my current copies in. MGS4 for $11.35 is not a bad price either.

Just a heads up Blue but I believe there are different UPCs for Batman AC. BB has the robin code while Amazon included a comic book in their version for preorders iirc. I figure you probably looked up your SKU already but just a heads up if you werent aware.

I'm on the West Coast, and I've actually gone 4-5 days after the deadline before. But that's a bigger risk, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Side note: I actually have a trade-in order locked in on Oct. 4 (which I'm not planning on shipping), but it hasn't "expired" yet. Amazon used to automatically expire trade-ins after ~3 weeks of locking it in (which gave me an idea of how long after the deadline I could ship and still have it accepted); have they stopped doing this? I really hope this isn't an indication of Amazon going super strict on shipping deadlines...
 
no, itll still get denied as expired. Games have to be processed by the 25th day to be valid. So they pretty much have to get there by the 22nd day to be ok.
 
Just to share, I've been trading in to Amazon since forever and just today got my first rejection. It was a stupid Gamefly PS3 disc with chipped edges (no scratches). I thought PS3 discs would hold up better than Xbox ones, but I guess PS3 renters like to play with their discs. No more Gamefly purchases from me.
 
If I submit 10 games to trade in but only end up going through with 7, does that have any effect on me because there will be 3 games listed that I won't be trading in?

No, they just won't credit you for the games not received. I usually add a bunch of games to my trades, but then at the last minute decide to omit a few of them (since I usually do quite large trades, sometimes 20+ things).

Awesome thanks. I want to lock in Modern Warfare 3 but I'm not sure if I want to give it up and wanted to think about it for a week.

I liked the game, I just have a feeling I'm not going to play again to gather the 3,258 riddler trophies I missed. :lol:

Thanks for the heads up. I think I'm safe, mine was from TRU.
 
Talk about ass backwards.

Yesterday I locked in Gears 3 and Super Smash Bros Brawl along with 7 other games.

Today they are trading in for about $6 more combined.

Is it okay not to include those games on my first list, and create a second submission today with the higher price?
 
pop quiz for anyone that's traded in a 3ds - AR cards needed for full value (y/n)? I think one of my little rascals took them and hid them in a mystery location. I have to ship on Monday and the tiv has dropped by a little over $20 so I'd hate to have to resubmit because of those goofy little things.

yep, should be fine. Note, it might or might not count towards your limit of 2 games within a x-month period. I forget the details.
 
does anyone have any experience trading in a Wii at Amazon? I have the original box, wiimote, cables, bar, and the instruction books and such. It's not been used a whole lot but does have some wear.

Would I have to go with good condition or would they go with Like New? do hardware trade ins go well?

I sent in a near mint 360 and all I was missing was one original plastic bag (for the controller). They docked it from "like new" to "good".

I tried trade in a 3DS and they posted it was missing bundled game, which i have no idea what they are talking about. It was docked from like new to acceptable. I only played the thing once, and i did not came with any game.
 
Does anyone have any experience trading in Borderlands GOTY (XB360) with the token codes (as opposed to the DLC on a 2nd disk)? The UPC points to the only Borderlands GOTY that they have (which is the one with the 2nd disk). If I submit it,m will it be rejected because there is no 2nd DLC disk?
 
[quote name='io']I sent in a near mint 360 and all I was missing was one original plastic bag (for the controller). They docked it from "like new" to "good".[/QUOTE]

really? I'm pretty sure I didn't save the plastic crap.... didn't think anyone would want it.

would they really take it to good or acceptable just because of that?
 
[quote name='birdyjuice']really? I'm pretty sure I didn't save the plastic crap.... didn't think anyone would want it.

They might take it to "very good" because of that. It shouldn't go to acceptable on that basis alone, though.

I'm pretty sure that's the only reason I got docked - but as always, it will be YMMV. A different person on a different day (doing the check-in) may not care. But, in general, "like new" means it pretty much hasn't been used and all the packaging is there, just opened. Since yours probably really isn't "like new" (as mine was not either) then you can try locking it in for that but then allowing them to downgrade if you are OK with the "very good" rating. At the time I locked it in, it was $230 for "like new" and $200 for "very good" so I really had no problem with the downgrade, though I was slightly annoyed that many others here on CAG managed to get the $230 for their similar 4 year-old Elite's just because they had all the plastic bags. I mean, I had most and even still had some stuff (like the Ethernet cable and composite cable) still factory-sealed even. And I'm sure someone will chime in that they sent theirs in a jumble in a box and still got the $230 as well - maybe it was just my bad luck.
 
So, question regarding Battlefield 3 (I think it was discussed but I'm not sure)

I locked in a trade-in for the game when they increased the TIV to $40.50. Does it have to be either the Standard Edition or Limited Edition that I trade in (or are they interchangeable)? And if so, how do I tell which I have locked my trade in at?

Also, looking at the trade-ins, it doesn't denote either Standard or Limited Edition. It just says "Battlefield 3"

edit: looks like it was discussed several pages back and they seem to be interchangeable. Thanks

BF3 may have a different UPC for limited edition. THe safest way to find out is to enter the UPC on amazon.com. Whatever pops up is the one you are supposed to trade in.
 
Both editions have unique UPC's but a couple of CAGs have confirmed that their trade ins were accepted. The database may just have both logged into their system. At the time the TIV hit its $40 peak the trade in site stated ” standard edition” though : shrugs:
