NEW THREAD: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/topic/334650-gamestop-trade-in-values-xxvi-values-available-on-ios-app-upcoming-50-bonus-with-coupon/

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, 21,22,23,,

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.

Are they generally dicks to you? Ask for values before you sign if you're not sure and know what you should be getting going in and make sure you're buying the right thing on the transaction.

It's been hit or miss there. Sometimes I get the best people, and others I get rude employees who get mad when I won't buy a used game.
 
Probably a mistake, I'd expect the TIV of mlb 13 PS3 to drop tomorrow.  You can pick it up for $8.50 at Target today (last day), PM to amazon @ 22.39 - $15 with a $1 pre order card, if your target allows it.

I traded in most of my ps4/xbone games, so its almost certain they will be worth more next week when the 50% kicks in with my luck, but eh I'd rather lock in a good value than gamble on TIVs not dropping.

But mlb 13 trades in for $6...

So general consensus on here seems to trade in now and get the 40% correct? I have things ranging from Vita games to MK8 ranges on money so I'm looking for advice on what I should do. Im at work and can't look up TIVs right now to see what the difference would be.
Click to expand...
A bird in hand ...

One option if you have a lot to trade would be to hedge a bit by offloading some stuff now and holding the rest for the 50%. You'd be giving up some potential upside to limit potential downside.
 
I think it depends on how new and sought after a game is. I'd expect games like Titanfail, Infamous, Ufc, Sniper Elite and possibly Wolfenstein and Battlefield to be worth gambling on, but other games such as Fifa and Assassin's Creed to drop a little. Regardless these values are quite good, especially when I can get 29.50 for Plants vs Zombies when I got it for 32.
 
Well, I just got my 6 month trade ban removed 5 months early, had a nice talk with CS, letting them know I wanted to pre order a few games using their trade in bonus promo, the guy removed it right away, he said give it 24-48 hours to release the ban, will give it a shot tomorrow so I can get in on the current promo, if not at least I'm good for the 50% bonus EOM, I'm stoked either way! Will keep a spreadsheet this time around

All the credit has to go towards the game from my past experiences. Take any off at time of transaction, and your bonus will be deducted.

You can cancel your game at any time though. I'm not sure if the X1 CoD bundle is included and, if it is, I'd go with that so it's all in one place. I do know for a fact the white PS4 is included, so that'd be a safer bet.

Just trade it towards that system, wait a week or so, claim you don't want it anymore and put it on a trade card.

If I were you, just traded it in towards the Last of Us Remastered and then return it. A lot easier to deal with as opposed to canceling a pre order, and an employee rejecting the 30% bonus because you're only putting $5 down instead of the entire amount. The OLED and Slim models both trade in for $110.

So u pre ordered just the Madden game or Xbox one system? I'd rather not cancel the pre order. Just the CODAW base game is something I legitimately want. Lol

They can split it if they want too. I have a store that's willing to let you move credit around as long as you purchase something in the store at the same time.

I also have stores that aren't willing to do that and want all the credit on it regardless of whatever happens.

 
If anyone is trying to get an Xbox One after trading your PS4, there's also the $50 off coupon for any next-gen system. Makes either a PS4 or X1 330 and the coupon costs 25,000 points.

The guys at my store always let me put just $5 down on a new preorder or a couple bucks on an existing one.

It may be YMMV, then, but I've tried a few GStops in completely different locations and they've always wanted it entirely on the item or items pre-ordered, though never cared if I cancelled a week later.

It's YMMV and largely up to the DM from what I've been told.

what do you think led you to your ban?

Spreadsheets are good. Also can track your gains/losses on trades.

I am going to trade in two games towards the pre-order of Diablo 3. Should I wait until the 18th, or do it before?
Click to expand...
Just got back from GS. Traded in BF 4 (PS4) and GTA V (360) towards Diablo 3. I expected around $45, so I was SHOCKED when she told me I had $55 from the trade. I said that it must be because of the 30% bonus, and she, apparently, didn't even know about it. That added another $10. So, I traded in GTA V and BF 4 and paid off Diablo 3, and they still owed me $1. lol

Anyways, for anyone who was still wondering: Trade your games before the 18th.

(Also, for anyone who cares: BF4 and GTA V were both worth $32.50 after the 30% bonus, which was $7.50.)

That must've been awkward if the employee kept asking why you're trading in the PS4 and buying the Last of Us.

Haha I thought about that afterwards. She was just surprised at first I was trading it in and then I asked if the 30% promo would work if I bought the Last of Us. She said she wasn't sure, but then she tested it and said the total would be $357.50 if I bought the Last of Us. I said "perfect" and she processed the trade. I guess if she would have asked, I would have said it was for a friend. Will be returning the Last of Us in the next few days.

Well, backlogging has finally caught up to me. Back in May when Watch Dogs and Wolfenstein came out, I used a B2G1 coupon and got those two and picked out Ryse to pair with it. Not necessarily the best bargain out there, but I had some credit to burn and the coupon expiring, and they were the only three games I wanted at the time (that I could find used). Well, I finally got to going to play Ryse today, and lo and behold, there was no game. Considering I bought them on May 31st, I knew calling wouldn't do me any good, but did so anyway. Manager said he's had two inventories since then, and didn't have a single X1 game missing. 

I'm literally the last guy in the world to resort to believing that the employee duped me and stole the game, but I'm 100% convinced it happened. It literally went from my car to my shelf and has sat there since the day I bought it. Unless someone stole it from my home, it was the employee. And I only point to theft because if it was just a mistake, it would have shown up in an inventory. 

I didn't get spurned too bad, considering I did use the B2G1 coupon, but still. Not too thrilled, mostly at myself for not checking the disk. This has me really considering trading in the majority of my backlog, especially with the high values.

/rant

 
Would be a solid credit mover from Best Buy with the 10% coupon, depending on tax. Too bad the 40% doesn't last another couple days, I'd probably end up doing that.

 
I wanted to trade in GTA V and Titanfall to get the 30% towards Destiny Xbox One Limited Edition, but I'm not sure if they're out of stock or not. If they are out of stock, could I put the credit on another game and then switch it to limited edition later on somehow?

If extra games show up when they do inventory, it wouldn't shock me if employees took them home. Admitting they didn't give a customer their game would look bad and they aren't going to call everyone who bought Ryse since the last time they did inventory and ask them if they are missing their game because there is no way to prove if they actually got it or not. It sucks, but like you said, you knew calling wouldn't do you any good at this point.

Not necessarily the best bargain out there, but I had some credit to burn and the coupon expiring, and they were the only three games I wanted at the time (that I could find used). Well, I finally got to going to play Ryse today, and lo and behold, there was no game. Considering I bought them on May 31st, I knew calling wouldn't do me any good, but did so anyway. Manager said he's had two inventories since then, and didn't have a single X1 game missing.

I'm literally the last guy in the world to resort to believing that the employee duped me and stole the game, but I'm 100% convinced it happened. It literally went from my car to my shelf and has sat there since the day I bought it. Unless someone stole it from my home, it was the employee. And I only point to theft because if it was just a mistake, it would have shown up in an inventory.

I didn't get spurned too bad, considering I did use the B2G1 coupon, but still. Not too thrilled, mostly at myself for not checking the disk. This has me really considering trading in the majority of my backlog, especially with the high values.

You always gotta check that stuff dude. Sometimes we get caught up in shooting the breeze about something and it gets forgotten.

The worst was I bought the Forza/Ultimate Alliance 360 double pack, and didn't get Forza, the guy literally told me I was lying until I showed him the box...and it had 2 games printed on it. Said he had never seen a double pack game...

If extra games show up when they do inventory, it wouldn't shock me if employees took them home. Admitting they didn't give a customer their game would look bad and they aren't going to call everyone who bought Ryse since the last time they did inventory and ask them if they are missing their game because there is no way to prove if they actually got it or not. It sucks, but like you said, you knew calling wouldn't do you any good at this point.

True. I thought maybe if it showed in their inventory they'd help me out, but expectations were very very low.

Lol. Lesson learned. Doesn't help that it wasn't at my home Gamestop, where the manager would surely have been able to do something for me. Not saying he'd refund me or anything, but my home Gamestop usually hooks me up.
