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,,,,,,,,

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.

[quote name='DestinyHero']I have a question, the Power Up Rewards steal of the week is 50% extra trade in credit when trading in games towards RE6 or Pokemon White/Black 2.

Does this stack with the 10% PUR bonus? As in it will become 60% extra trade in credit total? And lastly, if I trade in games in excess of the value of the game will I still get the bonus? I don't care about any of those games and I wanted to trade in like 8 games and use that towards Wii U stuff.

Thanks in advance[/QUOTE]

Ugh, 50%! How did I not see this either? Could have gotten even more for SSX and NBA 2K12. This just isn't my week :no:
 
Base Trade-in Value on 10/4/12

$27.50 PS3 Dual Shock 3
$ 2.00 PS3 mini USB cable
$20.00 Xbox 360 wireless controller
$20.00 PSP 2000 system
$ 1.75 PSP Slim Component Cable
$ 4.00 PS2 Okami
$ 1.50 PS2 Odin Sphere
$ 5.00 PS2 Final Fantasy X
$ 1.25 PS2 SingStar Country (game only)

Used the 30% trade-in on select title promo for everything except the PSP system. Manager told me it only works on games and showed me the Epic Mickey 2 flier that specifically said games. I showed him the website ad http://www.gamestop.com/mrkt/landing/pre-pay-bonus-30-trade-credit/ and asked him to try it anyway, it worked.

Did the PSP system trade-in on a separate transaction and put the credit on my rewards card. Then I got Borderlands 2 (pictured in the 30% promo) and still had $34 left. Manager wouldn't let me out the door without putting it on a pre-order.

Me: Can't we just put the rest on the card?
Manager: I would if it was a dollar or two, but that's too much.
Me: Ok, well I'll just return it. I guess I'll pre-order uh.. the zombie game for Wii U.. Zombie U?
Manager: The reason you're getting this much is because of the promo and you have to pre-order and come pick it up.
Me: Ok, I'll get Zombie U

I would have walked out and never returned to that gamestop. Manager lied to you.
 
No, no he was doing me a favor by processing my trade-ins on a company wide promo resulting in a marginally higher credit value and I better show my gratitude by pre-ordering a game through him.

Yeha, but you would have had to spent PUR points. How many is the coupon?

I do have an NBA 2K12 to get rid of now that I picked up the new game (that I got with the extra credit from my PS3 trade-in when they adjusted it for me on Monday).

I did finally redeem some PUR points, though - got an Xbox Live messenger kit (headset and chat pad) for 21k or so in points. My son had wanted the pad for a while to write signs and stuff in Minecraft and I had, well, way more points than that that did me no good - so it was a win-win.

It is 4000 points and is available until Sunday but the coupon itself is valid until 10/21/12.
 
I called our local GameStop yesterday and got a trade-in quote of 22.00 for Transformers: Fall of Cybertron for Xbox 360.

Apparently, Mr. Universe swears it's 24.00. So I questioned myself and called GameStop again today, and again got $22.00 as a trade-in quote. There's no *regional* difference in trade quotes, is there?
 
[quote name='Faulkjr22']Gamestop employee charged me a $25 refurb fee for my xbox because there was an "M" in sharpie on the bottom corner as big as this font, and my controller was dirty. Nerd. Dude is lucky I had been drinking and didnt really care at the time...[/QUOTE]

Would you want to buy a console/controller that looked like shit, or would you want to have a clean one? Just because you like to treat your systems like shit, doesn't mean other people should accept that.
 
1st GameStop:
:ps3: 80GB phat PS3 (2 USB) -- $90 base, $180 after promo
:360: 512mb phat X360 arcade -- $55 base, $110 after promo

Bought a PUR Pro membership, but this GS wouldn't give 30% preorder power trade on accessories (games only) so I went to another GS

2nd GameStop (took a print out of the offer on their website, no hassle):
Preordered COD Black Ops 2
:ps3: PS3 DS3 wireless controller -- $27.50 base, PUR $2.75, 30% $8.25 = $38.50
:360: X360 wireless controller -- $20 base, PUR $2, 30% $6 = $28
:360: X360 play & charge kit (black) -- $8 base, PUR $0.80, 30% $2.40 = $11.20

$77.70 total credit - $59.99 game (no tax) = $17.71 balance transferred to card

Had another 360 charging cable, but neither GS would take just the charging cable by itself (both wanted a battery pack with it)

Overall pretty happy with the trade -- will wait til Black Friday to buy a slim 360 and super slim PS3

why not just buy a 10 dollar wired keyboard from wal mart???
 
[quote name='kayne2000']why not just buy a 10 dollar wired keyboard from wal mart???[/QUOTE]

Well, for one I don't go to Walmart. I figured the cheapest keyboard I could get would be about $20-$30 anyway. I've considered it but then anything wired won't work - too long of a distance and that is just asking for trouble with the little ones. Actually, any keyboard is. They tend to destroy them ;).

It would be nice to hook up a keyboard for entering all those Borderlands 2 Shift codes though. In any case, my son wanted the chat pad and it was essentially free so I'm not complaining. I got a nice headset out of it that I can use too instead of the really old wired ones from my original 360 purchase.

actually mine was about 8 dollars i think so yea lol plus there is always amazon

and why the wal mart hate???

but i guess with little kids running around wired is an issue that makes sense. spend a little more to save the console unless its a gamecube or wii at which point let the kids drop it and the dog drool on it while its saving it will survive!!

FYI if you don't visit the PS2 sale thread: All $.99 games (currently buy 10 for $.99) are to be destroyed on Monday morning so this is the last weekend to get them. This is confirmed by multiple people in stores today.

Also (not fully confirmed yet) all $1.99-$3.99 games (currently buy 2 get 2 free) left on Monday are to be shipped back to GS's online warehouse and will be gone from all stores.

$5.75? Wii Classic Controller (clerk couldn't find an entry in the system for a Wii Classic Controller Pro)
$ .10 PS2 Super Bust-A-Move 2[/QUOTE]

I'd say good call on not trading Wii motes I traded a Wii system and the controller had the motion plus. He took that separate and I think I got 8.50 for it alone

Ok I hate to even mention it because it is either a YMMV or an issue with the Trade 2 for $40 deal and I still have stuff to trade but I thought I would share and hope it does not get fixed. I am not sure how many people have done the 2 for $40 but I did 2 sets tonight and got more than I expected.

First Set was

Marvel UA2: $22 (seems right)

L2D2: $27.20 AND 2 promos were applied My PUR and the Promo #13918

Second Set

Saints Row 3 (PS3) $27.20

L2D2 $27.20

Both of these had the extra promo 13918.

The funny thing is they both rang up at $40 but then adjusted to the new price when my PUR card was added. Hoping this does not change since it is about an extra $10 per pair with the right games.
 
It's a promotion. I have 2 more sets to trade in, but I need to finish Max Payne 3 first. And, the other 3 games haven't arrived yet, but should come up early next week.

I know it is a promotion. But what I am saying is the 2 for $40 is actually ringing up as 2 for $54.40 depending on the games.
 
Well, did you put it towards a pre-order, a game with another promo going on, or just put on a card? I always gotten other promos to stack even with these 2 for $x.

Nope that is what is so weird. I was also at 2 different GS so it was not because of a store error. Just traded them in and put it on the card. That is why I am saying YMMV because I would have thought someone would have mentioned this already. Makes me wonder what some of the other games might be getting as long as you stick to 2 at a time.
 
How the hell is Halo reach worth $25.50 trade in for power up rewards with the current promotion??? In fact, it'd be about $28 with the pro membership.

I have it collecting dust. did it go OOP or something?

Who said it was worth $25.50? It only has a TIV of 12.00 last time it was posted.
 
Huh, since Dead Island :)360:) gets $8 base as of 9/29 and the GotY gets $10 base as of mid-September, does the listing for DI in that promo correspond to the GotY or the vanilla edition? I ask because of the $10 base value listed for DI. Borderlands 2 is so freaking awesome that I don't really see myself playing (or enjoying) the Dead Island GotY I have sitting in my backlog. :\

I also have to consider trading in Dark Souls :)ps3:), since $12 might be the best value with the new edition coming soon...:whistle2:k
