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 or the value will not get updated. I don't always know it and I'm doing these updates from work to keep them as updated as often as possible so I can't spend time searching for that info.

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, 20, 21,,,,

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.

I'm pretty sure the store down the road still has the HeartGold boxes out but there's definitely none. Now if the store locator told him that they had it that's different but the only thing I've ever been lied to my face about was when I asked about America's Test Kitchen.

I guess what I am saying is that no matter what anyone tells you on here, you still have to deal with what the employees in the store tell you. You will have to go into the store no matter what, so why not just go and ask them?

 
EldritchOnRye said:
I keep forgetting to ask but you guys who use spreadsheets to track your stuff are you just spreadsheet whizzes or how did you get started? I keep meaning to start one but despite being an anal retentive OCD math nerd I am terrible at spreadsheets. Unfortunately I'm getting so many balls in the air at once here that I'm starting to have trouble keep track of everything in my head. Even more unfortunately when Googling "how to make a bad ass spreadsheet" you don't get very helpful results.
Click to expand...
What do you mean by "anal retentive OCD math nerd" :cool: ? If you're above average in math and have decent memory, spreadsheets aren't really necessary. Almost all the games I had prior to CAG, I can recall where/how I got them. I still know how I got most games etc now, but it is a bit difficult when I have multiple copies :whistle2:?.

I had attempted to use EXCEL to jot down and organize things for games I'm playing (stat increases, how many kills/points I had, etc). Thing is that's also around the time I tried to use ACCESS for that stuff. ACCESS is probably better for lists and other data entry, but the only computer I had it on died, and Office suites I got after never had ACCESS.

Anyway thing is I'm way more ocd when it comes to playing games that I rarely get far enough where I would need to organize and track stuff in EXCEL. I end up just using EXCEL for data entry and messy disorganized lists. I can use a lot of built in functions including logic and conditional ones that would make organizing things a lot better; oh and conditional formatting too. I never really messed around with macros/vba for my own purposes, but I'm sure I could do stuff with that to make crazy spreadsheets. Again thing is I know it wouldn't be right as Access and other programs (if I had more programming experience, that would be the best solution) would be better suited so I just stick to messy lists (EXCEL notepad, or scribbled on random paper in my room) or mental memory!

Anyway back on topic, the trade2 promo does not work for digital games even the retail copy of DuckTales! Also I found out that a pokemon 3ds preorder was actually rung up for a 2DS preorder (apparently 2DS has blue/red model which may be the cause for the mixup).

Really? I hadn't guessed when I checked the store locator before going in and it said they had at least three. Since then I've made sure to just do in-store holds and then they can't argue with me.

some employees do some shady stuff. Also how does your store locator says they have x amount? When I check on the website it says low stock or in stock, or am I looking at something different than you?

Well it's not about the games I'm playing, it's about the games I'm buying, how much, where the money came from, how they were sold, for how much, profit, etc. Things that get a little too complicated to keep track of when you're dealing with a significant amount of all factors and taking five to ten minutes to make sure all the details and figures are right in my head is a little excessive when I really need to double check something.

The really was sarcasm, I was then illustrating it. I was told that if it says low stock it's supposed to be 1-2 copies and in stock is supposed to be three or more.

thanks that clears up so much for me, I never checked stores when it say low stock because I thought it was 50/50 if they had it.

It still can be since the system usually seems to update pretty fast but you never know. Or someone could have bought it while you were driving. If I'm heading there anyway will usually put a hold on it because then even if someone grabs it and tries to buy it they won't sell it to them if it's the only one.

Yeah I don't bother with detailed accounting for that stuff (never made enough that I would bother to disclose). For the most part I know how much I paid for an item and, when I use to do more selling, could just quickly type up the formulas in EXCEL to figure out net revenue and profit (it's probably a lot easier now that ebay set their fvf to 10% across all categories for all price points).

From my experience, if it shows low stock, most of the time the store doesn't have it. Also it still shows low stock days later. This is for older items.

 
I did the trade two today and after I bought a game I wanted to return it to preorder gta V but the guy wouldn't let me. Would another store do the return even though there is the trade two on the receipt?

Yes, he just wouldn't let you because you just bought it from him. Easier to just pre-order the game with another $5 if you have other credit and return it for the game directly.

 
Ok, stupid question time, but Gamestop tracks consoles by serial number on the receipt?  I'm still trying to figure out a way to get that 50% bump trading in my Wii U and getting the Zelda bundle and still keep my old console, giving Gamestop my new one(the console is the exact same as the launch bundles, only the game pad is customized).  Trading it in on the 15th, buying the same console back right away, returning it on the 20th when I pick up the Zelda bundle and swapping the Wii U right there in the store isn't an option because the serial number wouldn't match in the system, right?  I'm not trying to do anything shady at all here, just don't want to lose the games and credit on my old Wii U.  I'll put it up on Craigslist as a last resort, but would rather avoid dealing with that if possible.

Well if you live somewhere that they have to do trade holds that will kill the idea anyway. I also don't know if all consoles get shipped back to Texas to be reconditioned or just certain ones. Beyond that the idea seems extremely YMMV.

 
Yeah, pretty much what I figured.  I'm going in tomorrow to talk to the manager, but not really expecting much out of it.  Still, I suppose the good news is the Deluxe console is still hitting the $250 mark on Ebay, I'll pull in about $200 after shipping and fees.

GS ships all 3DS and WiiU systems to TX to be refurbished regardless of condition b/c Nintendo no longer allows those consoles/handhelds to be wiped offline.

Not the same thing, but I did have someone yesterday tell me they have ATK used for 79 cents, so I could save some money over buying new.

It used to be updated once a day (I think?), now it's pretty much immediate. I saw this in action both ways - bought the last copy at a store, and it dropped off the tracker. Returned it a few days later, popped back on the tracker. Now, I think it was a little shady to relist it as new, as the reason I returned it was that it was a collector's edition the store opened and was missing some pieces I hadn't noticed, but that's besides the point.

The important thing is to ask if you don't see it on the shelf. That's how I picked up two copies of Madden during the B2G1 weekend - just told them the website said they had the copies in store, and they found them in the to-be-shelved stock sitting on the back counter. And if disc/cart only isn't important, sometimes the case goes missing but the game itself is still in the drawers.
 
So, if I understand this correctly from the first post, the PowerUp Rewards Pro 10% bonus trade in on games and accessories WILL stack with the current "30% extra trade in credit" toward participating systems and games. Thus, any games and accessories I trade in toward a pre order of PS4 or PS4 games will net me a 40% bonus to the base values?

Cant tell if trolling.

Yes. PUR Pro 10% always stacks with 1 promotion, except on systems.

 
Trade base values for 9-8:

360

- Lego Harry Potter 5-7: $5

- Black Ops 2 - $15

- Dark Souls - $5

- Dead Space 3 - $8

- Bioshock Infinite - $12

- Metro Last Light - $16

- Gears Judgment - $9

- New Vegas Ultimate - $6

- Halo Reach - $2.50 (didn't trade)

PS3

- Doom 3 BFG - $6

- Spec Ops - $6

- Dishonored - $4.50

- KOA Reckoning - $9

- WRC 3 - $5.50 (didn't trade)

Wii U

- Lego City - $16

- Sonic Racing Transformed - $9 

Got $199.20 after the 50% coupon and PUR.  Back up over $600 now with both new systems paid off and a couple games.

On a side note, the girl behind the counter was really pushy with the pre-orders today.  I even got a somewhat nasty "really? nothing?" after she ran through the AAA games coming out and I said I didn't want to pre-order anything.  I ignored it but it's getting to be exhausting dealing with that every time I make any kind of a transaction there.  Oh well.

Yea I've had the same thing happen lately. Some new people hired and they're really pushing the Pre-orders. But I have my ps4 and a couple pre-ordered games already paid for. I know that's part of the job but they don't need to be super pushy or nasty about it.

I don't think I will be going in until Pokemon X and Y honestly unless there are some really good sales.

I can go to Subway next door and get the free Pokemon "mystery gift" that starts next week I think.

Edit. I will be going next week to get my copy of GTA V and will get my Free Pokemon download then!

I did the trade two today and after I bought a game I wanted to return it to preorder gta V but the guy wouldn't let me. Would another store do the return even though there is the trade two on the receipt?

Yeah, see, this is kinda what I planned to do and was worried that something like that would happen. Lemme know how the return/exchange goes if you head to another store though because I don't wanna run into a headache over all this, lol.

 
I haven't done the Trade 2 for a long time, but the return has worked every time. Did you do it with the same person on the same day? It's best to do it with another store after some time has passed. The employee shouldn't deny the return anyway unless he or she is flagging you at the same time.

Orange Box - $12

Saint's Row The Third: The Full Package - $15

Witcher 2 - $10

9/7

he tried to return the game for gta v, right after he bought a new game with the trade 2 promo. it is suspicious, and clear abuse of the promotion. that is why they denied him. People like him, and the other guy, who return 10 games he got through the trade 2 promo at the same store is going to shut down this promo, or create more strict guidelines down the line.

 
Right after buying it is never good.

I want to use the Trade 2 promo today, maybe for the last time. What's a good game to buy and keep? GameStop usually has MSRP on everything.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already have the extras. I'll get a second print at a lower price later.

I also forgot to add that I'm looking for handheld games since I don't have other consoles for the time being.

I did this with Saints Row IV last week but I waited 2 days and went to a different gamestop to pre-order GTA V. I just said I wanted to return this and put the whole amount down on a GTA V pre-order. They had no problem doing that for me.

 
What is with everyone using butthurt? Please, use your own thoughts and ideas. And it's a pretty dumb word to be using in the first place.
 
I bought an iphone 4s from a close friend of mine for $100 and then purchased an iPhone 5 from a guy on craigslist and traded them both in for $994 after using playcation coupons ! HELL YES, both next gen consoles paid off
