Welcome to the Official CAG Amazon.com Trade-In Thread

THIS IS NOT A FLIPPING THREAD. USEFUL CREDIT TRANSFER OPPORTUNITIES WELCOME, BUT KEEP THE PROFIT MARGIN TALK / SNEAKY OR LYING SHENANIGANS OUT

Hey trade-in pals! SENDING THINGS IN DISC / CARTRIDGE ONLY / GENERIC CASE NO MANUAL / ANYTHING BUT COMPLETE COULD RESULT IN REJECTION. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS. YOU MIGHT GET ACCEPTED, YOU MIGHT NOT. NO ONE KNOWS. IF YOU CUT OUT A UPC OR DO ANYTHING TO TRICK THE FINE(?) FOLKS AT AFS EXPECT IT TO BE OPENED AND REJECTED. THERE ARE NO HARD AND FAST RULES. IF IT IS ACCEPTED, IT WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY ONLY BE CONSIDERED "ACCEPTABLE." RISK YOUR TIME AND EFFORT AT YOUR PERIL!

I'm getting an acceptance rate of about one per day; it makes me think some supervisor is standing around with a glass of absinthe next to a couple of dumptruck loads of games...while the one responsible for the glitch is made to scan each item and recite its TIV with tears in their eyes. - Indigo_Streetlight

GENERAL FAQ (Updated 12/26/2012)
Can I post a question on this thread?
Only if you can't find the answer from below. And please let me know if it needs to be added to FAQ.

Can I edit this FAQ? (updated 6/7/11)
You bet!

Since when did Amazon start doing trades?
The program began in 2009 and is handled by a third party merchant, previously known as NorAm International. Now known as AFS (Amazon Fulfillment Services).

What kind of shipping does Amazon provide us?
Free UPS ground ---- USPS is no longer available for free. There is now also an option to provide your own shipping.

Do I have to provide my own box or envelope?
Yes.

Do all my games in the same trade-in submission have to be shipped in the same box? (updated 3/9/11)
Not necessarily - people have sent in multiple boxes for the same trade-in submission successfully. It's even possible to send half at one time and the other half at the end of the valid shipping period. However, it's probably best to always ship everything at once.

Can I put separate trades in to a single box? (updated 6/7/11)
Sure, and they'll likely be accepted just fine. However, it isn't recommended since you would only have proof that you sent one of the trades (whichever mailing label you used). So it can be pretty risky.

Can I send in sealed games?
Yes. They won't reject games that still have the original shrink wrap.

Can I add Delivery Confirmation and Insurance to my shipment?
UPS Ground already provides you with tracking information, and I imagine you could get some sort of insurance added at a UPS store or location if you were so inclined.

I don't trust UPS ground. Can I pay for postage myself? What's the address?
Yes. You're more than welcome to do so. Just use the address on the amazon provided shipping label and make sure to get some sort of tracking.

When do I have to send my games once I have submitted my trade order?
You have 1 week (7 days) to send your games. There have been reports of submitting trades up to 15 - 20 days late, but that is definitely ymmv and not in the written rules. Send on time for the best chance at success!

Crap, I have one day to go before my shipment deadline, but the website states that my deadline has already passed. How do I print out a shipping label and packing slip? (Updated 9/9/13)
Load up any existing order (if you don't have any, check your browser's history or just submit a new one to use the link), and substitute the transaction ID for the trade-in order you need at the end of the URL.

Some step by step directions:
1. Go to your trade-in page on Amazon and find the Trade-In ID of the transaction:

Trade-In Placed:

August 24, 2013

  • Total Amount Submitted: $35.00
  • Amount Paid: $0.00
2. Copy the entire Trade-In ID (i.e. TRN-1234567-1234567) to your clipboard by highlighting it and hitting Ctrl+C or right click -> copy with your mouse

3. Paste the Trade-In ID to the end of this link:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/tradein/multicondition-your-account/print-label/ref=trdrt_ya_yaprnt?ie=UTF8&orderID=

So it should look like this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/tradein/multicondition-your-account/print-label/ref=trdrt_ya_yaprnt?ie=UTF8&orderID=TRN-1234567-1234567

The Print Shipping Label screen for that trade should now come up.

How long does the whole trade-in process usually take?
From the time you send in your games, it may take up to 14 business days for the package to arrive. Most people usually receive their credit (Amazon GiftCard) in 3 to 5 business days, however.

How long does the "processing" status usually take? (Updated 10/11/12)
Usually a day or two with little delay at all. It may take multiple days or even weeks if it's an usual item/hardware.

My games were received on Friday (based on Delivery Confirmation), will I have to wait until Monday to receive credit?
People have received credit on a Saturday.

I do not have the manual, cover art, or original case for a game I want to trade in. Will they accept it? (updated 6/9/11)
While the details specifically state that original packaging is necessary, people have reported in the past that their trades were accepted despite missing some of these. This is extremely YMMV, however since some were also rejected by missing manual or cover art. On the other hand, older gen games; such as SNES, N64, and GB cartridges, normally get accepted without the original box and manual, but still YMMV.

It should be noted that with the new condition requirements (see later in the FAQ), you may be able to send an item in missing some or all of the required items (manual / cover art / case) and still have it accepted in "Acceptable" condition.

I do not have the manual, accessories, original box, original included game, etc for a console or accessory I want to trade in. Will they accept it? (updated 3/9/11)
The current wisdom is "probably not" - it's pretty YMMV but AFS seems stricter than they should be on this. Your chances seem to be better for them accepting a console or accessory without the box / manual / etc if it's older generation or rare. You're more than welcome to give it a shot though if you're feeling lucky - just pack it well and include as much as you can! Don't expect greater than 'acceptable' condition though.

My game is really beat up, what are the chances they’ll accept it?
This is YMMV. Some people have reported in the past that they sent in games in bad shape that were still accepted. Your best bet is still to trade in games in mint condition. Minor scratches are expected as these are used games.

My game came with DLC codes and I used them. Will my game be accepted? (Updated 12/28/11)
It is expected that included DLC codes have already been redeemed, so you should be fine. It is a kindness however if you have no use for it to not redeem it and let the next lucky soul who buys it from awd or wherever have a crack at it. Up to you!

My cover art (PLATINUM HITS) differs from the pic on amazon, will my trade be accepted?
It all depends on the UPC so just turn your game around, type in the UPC into the amazon search box. If the game comes up, then it's accepted regardless of cover art. Click on that result to submit your trade.

I have a game from a limited edition bundle, will they accept it?
If the game’s cover art has a UPC barcode, they will most likely accept it. If your game's cover states "Not for Resale" and does not have a UPC barcode, the game will most likely get rejected. Some people have had their games accepted in the past, but this is very YMMV.

The UPC barcode is not intact on my game's cover art, will that be accepted? (updated 3/9/11)
This is YMMV, but probably not. The UPC is all powerful within the walls of AFS..

I sent in my games, all of which were in pristine condition with the original packaging, but they said that one game is damaged and is now being returned.
Always pack your games well. Put a lot of newspaper around your games in the box to secure them and to prevent any damages from haphazard box cutting. People in the past have requested their entire trade-in order if it’s obvious the damage wasn’t their fault, and Amazon ended up accepting the rejected game. This is YMMV as well.

Can I trade in multiple copies of the same game?
Yes. Once you click “Trade in” for a particular game, you may change the quantities. Once you submit, you can no longer change quantities on that trade-in batch.

How many multiple copies of the same game can I trade-in (updated 1/11/11)?
Maximum of 2 copies within 3 a month period.

I locked in X copies of a game but I now only have Y available to send. Can I just send in Y without being penalized? (updated 3/9/11)
Yes, you can always just send in a portion of your trade-in order and they'll just credit you for whatever they receive. However, the quantities you submitted for will stay locked in that instance (I think) so if you, for example, submitted for 2 copies and only sent 1, you may not be able to trade any more copies of that game for 3 months (see previous question).

Will the Trade-in of the Day TIV stay for 24 hours?
It's been reported that there is a limit (maximum # of copies) that will get the promoted TIV so lock yours.

So if I find a good flip, I can just send 2 copies of that game and not worry about Amazon accusing me of stolen merchandise?
Technically yes, but do keep in mind that other CAGs might want to participate in the current deal, and trading in a large number of the same game will definitely lower the TIV of said game. Let’s be nice to other people. This is probably moot for most folks now with the per account / address trade-in limit.

Wow, these TIVs suck (updated 3/9/11)!
Really? Hrm. While that may be true, they're often better than other comparable places. Your options of what to do with your used games are greater now than they've ever been, so feel free to shop your trades around or just sell them off on glyde/ebay/whatever. Also, not a question.

What the fuck? The TIV of a game I just bought for this deal tanked! What do I do?
The TIVs on Amazon fluctuate depending on the number of trades that are submitted, and we really can’t do anything about it. The best course of action for trading in games is to lock in your trade if you already have the games or are absolutely sure that you can obtain them. You can always cancel the trade submission if you end up not finding the games.
LOCK = SUBMIT YOUR TRADE, Don't just put it in the cart.

Can I edit a submitted trade?
Nope - once upon a time you could modify trade in quantities of submitted trades, but that ability has been removed.

Can I use my credit on items that are not video game-related?
Yes. This is the other perk for trading in games at Amazon since you're not limited to just video games.

Can I use my credit on items sold by third-party merchants on Amazon?
According to the fine print of the Amazon gift card use, some merchants are excluded. Your best bet is to try it on the checkout page of your order.

Strategy guides? I can trade in game/strategy guides? Whaaaaa?
Go to the Textbook Buyback section (http://www.amazon.com/Textbooks-Trad...ode=2205237011[/URL]). You can either search on the title of a strategy guide you have to see if they'll accept it, or search for guides. The two best search strings to start with are 'prima guides' and 'bradygames'. Might try 'doublejump' if you want to trade in some of those. (Thanks eugaet)

I locked in some hilariously overvalued trade for some weird rare game/accessory/etc that I can pick up for cheap cheap cheap. They didn't accept it. What should I do? (updated 3/9/11)
The truth is that AFS can reject things for any reason they see fit. While some people have managed to get silly things like a $200 credit for some cheerleading game (or for a PS2 - just ask io!), it's sooooooo YMMV that often it's not worth the effort. EXPECT REJECTION ON THINGS THAT ARE CLEARLY MISVALUED. That said, as long as you're willing to risk it, go for it!

What's all this item condition nonsense? And how can I get screwed over by it? (updated 6/9/11)
We're still kinda sussing out the details surrounding the new item condition portion of Amazon Trade-Ins, but it looks like there's a couple things to consider:
Good Condition eligibility (games):
- The video game, original manufacturer packaging and all original elements are included, but shows wear from normal use
- Game still plays perfectly
- Disc may have light scratches and other elements may have minor damage
- Item may have been personalized (marked or identified)

Acceptable eligibility (games):
- Game still plays perfectly
- Item may have been personalized (marked or identified)
- Item may be missing or have irreparable damage to one or all of the following: case, manual, artwork, bundled accessories, UPC

Note that a game will almost certainly not be accepted if it meets any of these conditions:
- Game does not play perfectly
- Disc is cracked
- Marked Not for Resale (or is otherwise marked not for sale)

Consoles/accessories have some slightly different criteria, but the idea is the same.

Did it seriously just ask me if I wanted my game / other item returned if they refuse to give me credit for it? (updated 6/9/11)
Yes, that just happened.

Unless you're purposefully sending them things you deem to be trash, please remember to choose the option that has them return your item to you during the checkout phase.

Who is AFS? (updated 9/14/13)
Amazon Fulfillment Services (previously known as NorAm). Dunno if they changed names, were bought up by Amazon, or what. Not too interested anyhow.

Why does my package jump back and forth between states? (updated 9/14/13)
Look at a map of the involved cities and it'll make sense. Something to do with UPS hubs and proximity to the state border/cities.

Post away!

For anyone who still has a GameStop B1G1 coupon on Wii games hanging around: 

Zumba Fitness: Join the Party (Wii)

GameStop  - $24.99 (find a store with 2 copies in stock and use B1G1 coupon to buy 2 and pay roughly $12.50 for each copy)

Amazon -  $20 TIV ($25 --> $40 credit mover if you send in 2 copies).

I just had my 2 copies that I sent in as Good approved today so it worked for me.  They included manual/coverart/case, but not the fitness belt.

Also, keep in mind that tomorrow is the last day that you can use the GS B1G1 coupon.

Looks like the TIV for the Gamecube bundles are gone. I was holding out to get mine and ship but now I'm buying some and shipping as soon as possible. I doubt mine will get here before the ship deadline but I'm still going to ship it. Does anyone know if they will still process it if shipped say a week late?

Probably depends on what option you selected on how to handle the return. If it's wrong item, it's being sent back regardless. Otherwise they'll return it or just give you the current value on an indigo Gamecube.

I picked acceptable with do not return. Last ship date is the 14th. Time to run around town looking for one at a mom and pop shop or get one from eBay.

Never use the "Pay me now" option, guys. I got one of my trades accepted but they took a long time processing it so they had it expired and all I got was a confirmation e-mail that says that it was accepted. I was glad and I looked into it and it says that I was charged for it.

I got someone on Chat but she was an idiot and she only wasted my time and she also lied to me.
Click to expand...

They told me they wouldn't charge me for it and it was ok

and then they charged me

this was during a call and chat both saying not to worry about it.

Lol

 
I just got my Gears of War Judgement processed as good even without any manual (it doesn't have one). I did put a note inside to tell them that it didn't. Now I just need my LOTR:BfME 2 to get accepted for $24 because it's only worth like $6 trade in now.
 
I wonder how many of those Rock Band 3 'bundles' are gonna get CANCELLED and returned to senders, lol. I bet they got a 1,000 of those things with all the lurkers. Wonder how those GS buyers are sending theirs. Can't imagine how goHastings.com would ship out that keyboard.

I sent my bundle as the game (complete with case and manual) and sealed keyboard rubber-banded together (both from GS), and I did so pretty early on, so hopefully I'll get the Like New value.

Honestly, it shouldn't get rejected since it's not like the Defiance CE debacle where Amazon was selling them in new condition for less than the TIV--the bundle isn't even sold by Amazon themselves.

 
Just picked up my copy of RB3 from Gamestop and it's a disc-only copy.  fuck Oh well. Maybe I can get good. Even if I get acceptable, it's still a decent profit margin.

Can you buy items from sellers with the fulfilled by amazon logo with amazon credit? 

 
My beyond 2 souls that I bought on my account got accepted on my gfs account so I'm grabbing another ds4.

Been trying to track down some cables and a controller at least for the indigo cube that I have, no luck around here, I guess I could just send them the console only, but I'm sure it'd get rejected then.

You're still good for acceptable.

Item may be missing or have irreparable damage to one or all of the following: original packaging, controller(s), bundled game(s), cables, user manual

I know that the trade limit is 2/month, but, like the dumbass I am, I forgot to send in a couple games and one of them is about 2 weeks past submit date, and this is the second trade in. Can I cancel that and relock the trade in, or would I not be able to?

As Jaashuaa said you will be fine. Unless it's changed, Amazon will automatically block you from submitting a third trade of the same title so as long as you've canceled the second trade you should be good.

OT, but I thought it was possible to buy GS gift cards from Amazon using credit?  Anyone had any experience with this?  I can't seem to complete the transaction with using the credit.  I was trying to move credit back over to GS to pay off my XB1.

 
You're still good for acceptable.



I locked in a trade in for the Indigo GameCube and have the original box but I'm positive the UPC doesn't match the Zelda bundle. Should I cut it out?
 
Am I crazy for being worried that it is too early to send in an Xbox 360 COD:Ghost to trade up to the Xbox One version for $10?  I'm just concerned it may not be processed correctly since the Xbox One version is still a pre-order, but I would like the new version on day one.

 
They finally accepted my Disney Infinity starter kit.  After my second try and waiting a week for grading, I finally was able to get my DS4.  That WM Infinity deal sure paid off.  $13 for a DS4.

 
I wished I could've caught someone with that walmart infinity deal, I'd have paid them $40 bucks for it, oh well, looks like black friday will have some infinity deals.

On another note, I wished they'd hurry up and accept my RB3 bundle, I want to apply that credit toward my Xbox One controller order I have.

 
Black Friday will definitely have shitloads of infinmity deals :)

Same with my RB3 Bundle. It's processing but I want to use the credit to finish paying off my PS4 pre-order.

 
The trade up program is all effed up. I was getting the $25 off of each game in the cart but I wasn't getting the $25 each for the games. I was getting the regular TIV for them. I had to contact AMZ so they could fix it. Here is the conversation if you want to see it. WARNING BAD GRAMMAR ALL OVER THE PLACE.



You are now connected to Eli from Amazon.com

Me:I traded in two games, NBA 2k14 and Madden 25 for 360. I just received the credit for them. I'm trying to do the Xbox One trade up but when I try to checkout it takes the the $25 bonus off each for the 2 games in the cart but I didn't get the other $25 each for the games I traded in. It should be a totalof $50 credit not $41.98.

A quick follow up to that, when he fixed the order he made it free. He personally took off $50 from the purchase, then used the gift card to pay off the $20+ balance. Wow! That turned out great, got the trade up free. I love AMZ! I don't have the remaining balance though but that's ok. I basically got $120 for Nba 2k14 and Madden, which turned into a free trade up.

Item(s) Subtotal:$69.92
Shipping & Handling:$0.00
Promotion Applied:whistle2:$25.00
Promotion Applied:whistle2:$25.00 -----
Total before tax:$19.92
Estimated tax to be collected:$1.64
Gift Certificate/Card Amount:whistle2:$41.85 -----
Grand total $-20.29

I've been able to sell the game by itself for $50+ repeatedly without any issues. It's a silly tiv, but not outlandish. Apparently on ps3 that game is buggy as hell though and can cause whole system lockups. So there's that.

Just buy it off Amazon. Still plenty of profit too be made. Dont get it fro gohastings however. Slowest shipping.

Do not get RB3 from Amazon. It's cheaper at Gamestop if you use PUR and the B-Day coupon for the game. Just have to track it down. If anything get just the keyboard from Amazon since it's $1 more than Gamestop.

 
I had my first Rock Band bundle accepted today as Like New. Even though I know it was risky, I chose the "pay me now" option because I wasn't sure if it would be graded before my PS4 shipped. I have a 2nd bundle still processing, but I don't think it will be graded in time. Gonna have to pick up more Kindle cards tomorrow.

My keyboard from Gamestop had a $14.99 label on it and I think at least one other person said their Gamestop had the same price mistake. If anyone is looking for a keyboard, they might wanna check there first in case they have the cheaper price. Great deal as long as you have a box to ship it in.

My local Gamestops are sold out of them. (I bought them all back when just the game was worth $42)

I was the other person who had the sticker for $14.99, I unfortunately didn't see it until I got home.

 
Has anyone taken advantage of the instant/faster payout options when trading in a game? I used to see it come up as an option but haven't lately.. at what point in the trade in process would the option come up?

Trying to figure out if the promos for the xbox one trade up program are applied immediately to your account.

My Tales of Xillia got rejected today for wrong UPC.  I bought it from Best Buy to exchange BB gift card to Amazon credit.  Opened the sealed game and put it in an envelope to send to Amazon.  Now I get screwed because they take weeks sending it back and the tiv already dropped.  Amazon really sucks.

I've used it twice.

1- sent as good and it was accepted as good. Worked like a charm

2- send as good was marked as acceptable. So lost a few bucks charged to my card.

It's on the nedt page after you submit it. Will say pay me now or wait to process

I came to post the same issue. Mine was from the CE, so maybe that was it?

Why does it matter to them anyways? Ugh..so frustrating.

Anybody know who I should contact in this, or should I just move on and accept my losses?

it also could have been from the LE which also has a 0000000 upc. that's too bad. I suppose hindsight is 20/20 but maybe a note could have been added like a "no manual" note for Xillia and Vita games.
