NEW THREAD: HERE

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.

Current Promotions/Information:

From GameStop employees on CAG:

Anonymous GameStop Employee Xbox One/PS4 informations:

PART 1: So good news and bad news at Gamestop. Good news: ALL GS locations in the US are getting wi-fi this week! Not sure if they are open access points or closed. Also don't know if all the locations are getting the same connection like ATT Wi-Fi or if it varies by locale (ATT/Verizon/Comcast/Time Warner/Charter, etc.)

Bad news: There are two reasons for this. One, systems can now be tested to see if they are banned from XBox Live I believe, since you could do an online connection test and that touches XBox Live. But the 2nd reason that's more imminent; if you buy a PS4/XB1 and don't have internet access, Gamestop will hookup your system to download the Day 1 patch. Depending on speed of the GS connection and size of the files, this could greatly slow down the lines at launch and take up lots of employees time at the store post launch taking up 1 of each stores 2-3 registers.

Found out about this at the CoD launch so just wanted to pass the info along.

PART 2: So bad news on the Gamestop Wi-Fi situation:

1. The Wi-Fi is locked down with the password setup by each individual store manager but even if you got ahold of it ...

2. Everything someone would want to go to in a browser from gaming sites, to YouTube, to even news sites like cnn, foxnews, etc. are all blocked. Trying to access them gives you a blocked message from the firewall that's setup. Twitter/Facebook iOS apps worked but NFL Mobile and others w/video did not as they timed out. Don't use the YT app (just use the mobile site) so didn't try that. And even that doesn't matter because ...

3. It's as slow as molasses compared to 4G LTE or anything like Boingo, ATT, or any of the other public access points. So if you get behind a bunch of people w/o net access I feel sorry for you and I dread these launches now given the area I live in and our customer base's general lack of net access ...

PART 3: So GS has handed down a memo I'm sure is also going to apply for XB1 in that they count Friday as a pickup day so any PS4 not picked up before close of business on Saturday, Nov. 16 or any XB1 not picked up before Saturday, Nov. 23 is available first come, first serve to customers on Sunday the 17th or Sunday the 24th.

Anyone who has not picked up their system by mid-Saturday will be getting a call from one of the store's keyholders to find out what's up.

Your money won't disappear from the preorder system but that PS4/XB1 will be sold to someone else. You will be told you can call the store when you have acquired the money to pay it off and the next system that comes in after that call will be held for you for another 48 hours.

PART 4: So the info on the GS inTRAnet site I saw today says XB1 preorders can also get the 90% bonus trade on systems tomorrow if they want, although I'm sure there will be an event the following Sunday as well.

There is a SKU employees have to enter/scan to boost the trade. There was a sheet provided for the stores to print out to show what the full value of every system (including Ouya) would get base, w/30%, and with 90%.

The final part is YMMV but my store manager is letting any qualifying preorder customer who has traded their system in the last 30 days and still has their receipt to do a return/retrade to get the extra credit. YMMV on that of course.

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, 21,22,,,

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.

Do any of the birthday coupons work with the SOTW 25% off from last week? Or was the October one really the last one to work?

There's a couple copies of Ghosts near me, and while $37.xx is good, $30 would be better.

 
Is it only the PS3 copy of Rock Band 3 that seems to be worth money? My local Target has a 360 copy clearanced for $5
The 360 version is pretty rare too.

If it's $5 new, I would get it if I were you because you probably won't find it anywhere for that cheap

:censored: Dragon's Dogma didn't survive. Good thing I have 1 B1G1 coupon left. I know what I'm buying with that.

Edit: just saw DD: Arisen free for PS+. This was the copy I got from Capcom and it's still sealed. :(

I nearly had a panic attack looking at that updated list--thankfully, Tales of Xillia and Animal Crossing: NL are still on there.

Now I'm really glad and relieved I didn't bite on any of the DS Pokemon games that suddenly came back in stock on BBY.com. ;)

with the trade 2 promo..

will the promo still apply with extra games not on the list being traded in on the transaction?

for example, pokemon black/white v2 & madden 12 towards a new game

just checking if i should trade in the extra games separate from the trade 2 transaction

also have a couple of b1g1 wii/ds coupons for trade

 
11/5

:360: Charging cable - $1.50

:ps3: Socom Confrontation - $0.15 (hilarious since the disc is a coaster ever since the servers went down)

:wii: Wiimote - $3.5

:wii: Wii Motion+ attachment - $2.5

 
I'm trying to decide if I should flip a pair of pokemons after checking out if thereare any shinys or pick up 2 games to keep like Mario party 9 and Kirby return to dreamland....
 
I'm trying to decide if I should flip a pair of pokemons after checking out if thereare any shinys....
I'm new to this whole Pokemon thing. I played a little back on the game boy but not really since. Thinking about getting X or Y though. I should've been checking the other ones I was flipping to see if I could find good ones, but I'm not even sure what to look for haha.
 
Here's hoping the death of the Pokeflip means that the prices on them come down juuuuust a lot because come on, $45 for HG/SS?

They jacked it up? It was $35 for both of them combined when I got them about 8 months ago.

 
So If I trade in Ghosts and it get's bumped to $30 and then purchase a used game to get the 30% trade in bonus, Would I theoretically get $40?

 
SoulSilver is currently $50 online. Preowned, mind you.

So If I trade in Ghosts and it get's bumped to $30 and then purchase a used game to get the 30% trade in bonus, Would I theoretically get $40?
No, only one promo applies at a time. You would get the $30 or the base value for Ghosts + 30%. (I think PUR would apply to both? I don't know how it interacts with the guaranteed $30 promo, but know it would stack on trade + 30%.)

 
YMMV but when i went to trade in a used IPAD today I was told that per conference call today, a 90% tradein bonus towards PS4s goes into effect on Thursday.  I called Shenanigans, but at the same time, figured i could wait a couple of days.

 
So If I trade in Ghosts and it get's bumped to $30 and then purchase a used game to get the 30% trade in bonus, Would I theoretically get $40?
No, because that would be trying to practice something, not theorizing.

If you mean you want to stack promos, then no.

Base + 30% and 10% if you have Pro.

I loved to do midnite releases. I would bring my wife and kids and all the other dudes were astonished I had a family, lol. I was kinda disappointed last night cuz my bestbuy didn't have a midnite release after I went there at midnite last 4 years since mw2,blops,mw3, and blops2. I went today but it just wasn't the same. I also wanted some respect for getting the prestige edition (thanks CAG!)

 
also just to be a baller, here's a pic of my prestige edition of ghosts i don't get to play cuz im at work for another 8 hours.

Please excuse my foul language as I do not condone such words. As such, I will censor them, however, I really need to vent.

I F***ING HATE GAMESTOP! THOSE F***ING SONS OF B****ES CAN GO DIE! DROP THEM IN A F***ING VOLCANO!

I suppose that's enough. A few days go, on 10/30 I purchased a few Gamecube games that were in stock. All of the orders were cancelled. The worth altogether after bonuses was about $101.05. As of right now, I still don't have that money back. I checked my balance and it says I have about $75, but it won't register online or in the store. But that's not why I'm angry. I am currently on hold with them, trying to get them to help me with this. I have been on hold for almost 50 minutes. Same bad music, same lame messages "sorry for making you wait, as we are experiencing higher than normal call volume. Someonw ill be with you shortly." I wish they'd stop with that message. It's a lie.

Would you prefer to be on hold going through silent hell? Ba dum tssshhh
 
Anybody try the new SOTW? I tried it and opened a second account, but it didnt take the $15 off a pre-owned game. She just manually did it and now the coupon is still in my account. Im going to probably open up some more accounts. Is there a correct order to do it in for future reference?

Don't waste your time and just email them. It took 7 days to get my money from a recent cancellation.

The coupon specifically says "renewal or upgrade", so of course it didn't work on a brand new paid membership. If you had wanted a second account you should've made a free one first and then returned the following day to upgrade it with the coupon.
 
Just checked this thread for the first time today and I feel like there needs to be a wav of taps playing when you open the thread.

 
Send me a PM if you got Pokemons you are thinking of returning to Best Buy. I actually want to play a couple of them and I got a little bit of Paypal.

I have Diamond, Black 2, and White 2, so I am not interested in those.
