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!

Well it obviously depends on location but for me it's been 1-3 days for me after delivery.

I don't think they grade on sundays. I can't remember if that's true. xD

 
Ceramic White PlayStation 2 SingStar Bundle $172.39
Absolutely heavy profit.  #NoPovertyHere. Again console trade ins are very ymmv. Many gamecubes have been rejected if they were sent in as acceptable.

I actually owned one that I got a while back. Will be testing my luck, trying to get acceptable.

Just a caution. It's cost around $60 on ebay.

Do they have different locations that people send stuff too? I was under the impression that all trades went to Kentucky.
 
if i submitted the dead or alive xtreme 2 (xbox360) trade ins on june 27, will they still accept it if i buy and send the games on monday morning (7/14) or are they really strict about those things now?

Remember it's suppose to come with the Singstar game, 2 mics, 2 memory cards, the console, controller and power cords.

You've got 25 days from the date of submission to get the item completely processed and accepted. They're just as strict as they've always been (which is kind of: most items expire on-time and you'll get the games sent back to you if they're not finished processing in time).

It varies. I'd give it until the end of the 15th. After a week of Processing, you can contact an AMZ Rep and ask for a status update and go from there...

 
I'd say they aren't very strict at all. If the item is not expired by the time I send it, it gets accepted. I've sent things in months late and have had them accepted. Others have as well.

 
Singstar bundle:

Humm. I think I have a brand new one of these laying around somewhere.  I think I paid $99.99. I could dig it up and sell it or just trade it in.  Would be pissed if it gets rejected and they open things up though.  But by the time I pay fees, shipping I would get more in amazon credit which is almost as good  as cash to me.  (using ebay completed sales for new consoles..not the amazon pie in the sky listings

Sorry brahs drunk as fuck, couldn't get to your questions.

I am just testing to see if it gets accepted. I just have the white ps2, cords and controllers but it has a chance to go through.

who knows what happens xD

 
You think if I throw in Uncharted 2 into the mix with a 160GB Slim PS3 and I can the acceptable amount for that bundle? (A) is like $148 or something.. maybe throw in Karate Kid for a (G) rating? haha

:psp: Gran Turismo PSP Bundle (TIV $143 - Dropped to $65)

Locked it in when it was $143 but looks like it just dropped to $65 soon after. Might jump back up so worth checking back on it. Amazon was selling 4 acceptable ones for $66 so I brought 2 hoping for the $103 acceptable credit. If they reject it I'll just go to Amazon chat and say "If you can sell it as acceptable why can't you accept a trade in for acceptable". Might be burned by this but worth the risk.
Click to expand...
fuck! I wish I had seen this earlier. I actually have this bundle still brand new and sealed. I fully intended to use it but I just stopped playing the PSP a while ago. It is otherwise completely worthless. It is $71.xx now - I'll have to keep an eye on it. But hell, I'm tempted even at that price.

Hey, I don't complain about it - it just irks me when people say their trades only take a few days like the rest of us are doing something wrong. It is completely dependent on where you live. Though I do harp on UPS for taking so long based on distance when USPS doesn't do so ;). Remember way back when we used to be able to use USPS for trade-ins to Amazon.

Make another trade-in for anything and then substitute the TRN number in the URL. You also might just be able to click on the link in your original trade confirmation email if you still have it.
 
So update on my 2nd dead or alive extreme 2 trade in.
The email said the item is unnacceptable and being returned to me. Which is wierd cause it was complete with case and book in mint condition. Make me wonder what I am actually recieve back to.

What reason was given for it being graded as "Unacceptable"?

EDIT: Son of a--My second copy was also rejected, cited as having "Severe Damage", which is total BS. I'm definitely contacting Amazon CS about this. :headache:

What's weird is that I already received full credit for a complete copy and this one was disc-only with no surface damage to the disc, so it can't have been rejected because the TIV was "too high" (like with the Defiance CE fiasco). :whistle2:k

Sucks they are pulling these shenanigans on small values. Sent in 2 complete :360: Dead Or Alive Xtreme 2 to Amazon at the same time. 1 accepted as Good and the other downgraded to Acceptable for "Artwork unauthorized." I let is slide at the time, but may call in since it seems like a trend.

This certainly gives me cause to hesitate sending in the copies of :ps3: Bandfuse and :360: Popcap Arcade Hits Vol. 2 that were all but ready to ship out today. :???:

 
I'd still send them. You know this happens when the vendor they're selling them to is picky. I doubt the same company is buying those other games.
 
There was a period a couple of years ago that folks were getting their trades rejected for no good reason.  A lot of user accounts included games that were returned scratched up and cracked as if people were stepping on them.  Since these behaviors sometime turn into a pattern, it makes me think it's a specific grader or two.  I don't think it's any sort of conspiracy that these waves of rejections are related to years past, but I do think a grader or two just wise up and decide to send us a message and teach us a "lesson."

How does it teach us a lesson (this is more rhetorical than an actual question directed at you)? I'm going to let Amazon CS know about it (though I highly doubt anything will be done to address it) and it isn't going to stop me from sending things in. :nottalking:

My guess? That it's a disgruntled employee that hates his job and doesn't appreciate 100 random folks trading in a particular game. That'd be the only logical guess. I mean, if it was just some random act of an employee doing it just to do it, we wouldn't hear about specific trades being rejected. If 20% of DOA 2 trades get rejected, it has to be a specific grader or two that's retaliating either because they know what we're trying to do or is annoyed at having to process the 100 packages coming in. Otherwise, if it was just a random trade out of the entire lot, then you'd think it was just a grader that was doing it for the sake of boredom. But it's possible his or her "message" is to deter you from sending in trades.
 
I decided that I'm not going to trade in the Gran Turismo PSPs. But they were delivered to my schools post office today. Can I just go in and reject the package? And how long until I get a refund for them?

That depends on your post office and whether they can just put a "Return to Sender" notice on the package(s). As for when you'll get refunded, it can take a few business days, but you should receive it within a week after the packages are sent back.

Since it's specific titles, I think it's the other way around. My guess is management puts out the word to reject a certain percentage of certain titles.

What angers me is that they won't be honest about why they were rejected; instead they fabricate a reason, citing "Severe Damage" or "Incorrect Packaging" or whatever when none of it is true. :bomb:

Click to expand...
Not that it's a risk but I got an opportunity to go to California and perform at a convention. Everything for the Con is paid for but my plane ticket. It's either trade in games to get myself a new TV or go to LA for an opportunity that barely comes along.

Apart from that, here are the PSP's. One is almost complete but the other only came with a PSP and battery. The description for the PSP's said it "May be missing one of the following: manual, cover art, or packaging". Going to despite the 1 PSP that doesn't include any of those and return the other one. Since one is almost complete, I'll bit and send it in since it'll get good or like new credit ($143 when I paid $66 for it).
