DO NOT POST IN NEW THREAD UNTIL I HAVE FIRST 6 POSTS TAKEN OVER.
NEW THREAD HERE: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?p=9832580

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, 14, 15

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='jonathanp']I know this is in the OP, but I need a little clarification for peace of mind. If I trade in three $2 games, I'm going to get $16 plus PUR bonus and not $9 plus PUr bonus right?[/QUOTE]

Right. $16.60
 
Wow, trade in values much better then I expected. I always thought Amazon had the best values but so much for that.

I'm listing these prices with the 50% promo and bonus powerup rewards. These are 360 games unless noted.

[quote name='corn_fest']So for what trade in values is the 3 for 10 preferable to the extra 50%?
Anything under $7, right?[/QUOTE]

short answer yes. the exact cutoff is $6.66 base for all 3.
 
I used the.bestbuy coupon glitch just now to get rdr for 360. Im taking that and sacrificing my deus ex to put towards a mw3 b2g1 flip. Does gs charge you a referb fee if you dont have the case for the game ?

FIXED to show base prices. Thanks for sharing, but please list only the base charges. JP spends enough time updated the list and database and I'm sure he doesn't want to have to try and figure out everyone different promo bonuses.

Also, FYI...it looks like you got the $10/3 promo and not the 50% bonus for all the games valued at $2.00 or more. This was actually better for you on all except Red Dead Redemption as it would have brought in $16.00 at the 50% bonus level, but that would require another game for the last set of three.

Also asked about the GOW3 Epic Edition hoping it would be $80 after $20 discount, but guy said it was off a $120 base. Luckily though he said they wanted to get rid of them so he marked it down to $80 without another question when i said i was hoping for that price. Gonna try and get the Skyrim one for $70 this week after this experience since they want to get rid of all their CEs. Gonna flip my extra copy of Gears to lower the price even more. Statue and cog medal go perfect next to my Gears 360! Not all GS' are bad :whee:

The PS2 one was actually an old multi-tail Svideo cable for PS2, Gamecube, and the original X-box but the employee put it in as component. After bonuses were applied, a $65.86 total.

Looks like it'll be worth it to check my Target again. Last I checked, they had :ps3: Dark Souls on clearance for $20. $20 to $27 isn't too bad.
 
Planning to trade in my 80gb BC PS3 tomorrow after I finally fix the YLOD. My question is does GameStop check if the system has been open before as in check if the warranty seal has been removed. Will most likely get $115 for it including the $50 extra but better than this thing just sitting in my closet.

In addition, you'd be boosting sales numbers for Dark Souls, which is good!
 
speaking of the ps3 trades at gs...do they always have the $175 coupon or is that rare? I'm sitting on an old 80gb mgs4 model but unsure if to sell it for say a ps4 or hold onto it in case another stack glitch happens or just it gets better tiv later. I got a slim one and not sure what to do with it.

I dont know man but spending 20$ just to make 7$ profit sounds kind of bad to me. You are better off doing the rdr flip from using the bestbuy coupon on the 360 version and flipping it to gs. You would only be spending less than 6$ and make 10$ profit. Less money but you get more. Much better than the dark souls flip you are going to do if you ask me

Sadly, I'm over an hour away from my nearest Best Buy whereas Target is across the street from my Gamestop.

The Dark Souls flip isn't one I'm gonna be going overboard with or anything. I probably won't end up doing it anyway since I'd rather have cash than Gamestop credit.

This exactly this, I don't get people who spend a lot to get a small flip.
 
[quote name='Gamer SDP']this had to have been the manager right?[/QUOTE]

No, because when talking to him he said his manager wants to get rid of them because they are just getting knocked around. It's a small GS in a mall so i can see why they want to dump them quick. There is already little space before you have huge GOW3 and Skyrim CEs stacked next to each other.
 
Just making sure since I don't usually trade at Gamestop. If I trade 3 games I would be getting 60% extra with the PUR card plus $10 ??
 
[quote name='kevinc23']Just making sure since I don't usually trade at Gamestop. If I trade 3 games I would be getting 60% extra with the PUR card plus $10 ??[/QUOTE]

The 3 for 10 only applies if the base TIV for all 3 is less than or equal to 6.66 for each, otherwise the computer will give you the 50% bonus (10% extra with powerup pro).

If you trade more than 3 games though the computer will automatically give you the 50% so its all about figuring out the math yourself and knowing which games to trade in together. If you're trading in a bunch of games with a high base TIV for example it doesn't matter how you group them together, but if you have a few cheap games, trade 3 of them together to get the extra $10 and the rest of them for the 50%

Sounds complicated but its just using mathematics to get the most for your games.

Also remember that gamestop trade in promotions for the most part never stack except everything will always stack with your 10% power up pro card
