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!

Hmmm - a lot of the next-gen stuff is there like Knack.  If I can find anything totaling up to $10, getting double for that to get a game I might be buying anyway from Amazon isn't too bad of a deal.  It all depends on how crappy their trade-in prices are.   Maybe I can dump some of the stuff that didn't qualify for the trade-in deal at GS (ie, that is less than $3 at GS).  But chances are that same stuff is like $1 at Amazon.  I don't think I want to send in 10 games for this :lol:.

You do have until the end of August to spend the $10 credit.  They could add (or take things away) before then.  But yeah, too bad it doesn't work on Vita or 3DS stuff.  Hopefully they will add the new 3D Mario game for Wii U.  Destiny is another option even though it doesn't come out any time soon.  (And d'oh!  They have NBA Live 2014 for PS4, but not NBA 2K14 which I might actually want to pick up).  But in any case there's definitely something I could use it on.

So, yeah, if I can find some stuff that I don't think I'm getting totally hosed for (before the $10 bonus) I might as well - can then think on the preorder for a while.

A quick check of a few old Wii games that were under $3 at GS shows them to be around $2 at Amazon.  Only getting $4 for them (counting the extra $10) is not such a great deal, but under the guise of reducing clutter I might send in 5 games for this...

You might try Arc Rise Fantasia wii, 14.99 at gs trades for 15 amz, would get 10 extra credit. use gs coupons to sweeten the deal. In stock all around me at least but no .com shipping.

 
Got Ninja Gaiden 3 Dragon Sword Bundle for 18 on AWD... flipping it back to amazon for 42+10 promo :p

Damn, it would be nice to find more easy flips like that one

Thanks for the tip, but it is extremely limited around here. There are only 2 stores out of 30 or so that have it and both are 60 miles round trip. That isn't worth it for $10 extra in Amazon credit ;). This always happens to me with these things though - people all over the country see this stuff "all around" them, but here it is 1 out of 10 or 20 stores, and never the close ones.

 
I'm considering trading in :360: NHL 13 towards this promo.  Between the base value and the $10 promo I would get close to $30 and then I could put that towards Madden 25 for the PS4.

 
for a number of folks it seems that mlb2k12 (on clearance for as low as 5.98 at targets that have em) are good fodder for the deal since it trades in at just above $10 presently. even better if you have one of the b2g1 free register coupons or 30% off 2 games. If anyone is still looking for a way to use this promo.

I don't know about others but I've only seen the PS3 version of the game on clearance which only trades for $3.

Another good one is Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2, which trades in for $24.60 at Amazon and costs $27.99 at Gamestop before discounts; it's really only good if you have the birthday coupon and PUR to bring the total down to ~$20.15+tax.

Hah - I actually have one of those sitting here. I picked up 3 PS3 Japanese RPGs in mint condition using my B2G1 coupon. But I was intending to keep that one. I'll have to look into it some more - thanks for the tip though.

 
Hi. I have a couple things to trade in with Amazon. I'd like to know how good Amazon's trade-in promotions get as far as bonuses go (specifically, extra % of total TIV), and how often they happen. I am just trying to decide whether I should bite now and trade in my games, or if it'd be worth my while to wait a week or two (if they ever do anything like this).

Me too. I have it in like new condition but I don't want to trade it in. It's hard to come by. Same for trinity universe. The $10 off pre-order isn't very impressive for me since I need to pay tax to buy from Amazon.

I miss the days when Amazon did heavy pre-order discounts. Almost all pre-0rders can get a discount or bonus. But now it's rare. Do you think Amazon can give $20 bonus to Lighting return pre-orders the same way they discounted FF XIII-2?

They rarely do trade-in deals but they have had 2 this year so far. The current one ($10 off certain preorders if you trade $10 or more) and a $20 coupon useable on anything if you traded $20, I think it was? So I guess technically those are 100% bonus coupons if you use them right. But before those two there hadn't been a trade-in promo in a couple of years. Their values are pretty bad now, though so I can see why they are starting promos back up again.

 
Significant spike on the trade value of Injustice for PS3.  Was going for about $20 over the weekend and is now up to $35.12, 360 version at $27.06.  I love the game but I might just jump on this as it would only put me at a $2 loss (thanks a lot taxation) and the lag of the online play is a serious discouragement from wanting to keep the game.

 
Traded in my madden for $16.xx. Better than nothing and since i won't be playing it agian. The $10 credit is cool too, i'll use it for watch dogs on PS4 to cheapen that up

 
Traded in Rayman Vita for $10.20 + $10 credit. Stack that with my $20 bonus credit from the previous trade in sale, $40.20 on Watch Dogs for PS4 :bouncy:

Thank you for the response! If that's the case, I'll bide my time, and in the meanwhile maybe check in once a day as to get an idea how Amazon's TIVs fluctuate. And if it does so, and to my favor, I may just go for it.
 
Got my $51.xx today for the copy of RE6 Anthology/Archives(whatever the PS3 one is).

Thanks whoever pointed it out!  I remembered seeing a copy at a local GS, so I picked it up with a B2G1 from PUR renewal.

It only had the case, inserts, and disc, but I got full credit! (no DLC code sheet)

Oh I wasn't going to, not that I've ever had anything downgraded as I'm an utter obsessive compulsive, but just haven't seen it before and submitted a few things over the past two weeks.

some of the cag users who tried that option, reported negative experience of items being downgraded, or returned.

Anyone have any idea if these $10 credits can be stacked? I would totally send a few more orders of games if I knew I could stack them on one preorder.

Dammit, can't resist that, $43 for Injustice = off it goes. Sorry Batman!

Edit: RE:Revelations :ps3: just jumped to $30 from $24 in the past hour. Check any trades you have locked in!

Holy fuck, that's a $20+ jump today. I almost mailed the game at $35 when I went out earlier but decided to keep it and play it for another day or two before I shipped it, boy that worked out well since I'm now profiting and going to be basically doing an even exchange for whatever with the credit.

I submitted a trade yesterday and the game is $5 higher today so I submitted it and this one doesnt say it qualifies for the $10 promo but my old one did/ still does.

It'll only allow one promo locked per account, so you would have to cancel the previous one before you resubmitted (assuming the promo window is still valid today, don't recall how long this promo is going). You'd probably still be ok if you want to wrassle customer service after your trade is accepted if you don't want to cancel the old one.

Yep, I wasn't thinking and submitted my second Injustice trade before I cancelled the first and then realized I didn't get the promo. So then I cancelled both of those and submitted a third one and got the promo.

Anyone have any idea if these $10 credits can be stacked? I would totally send a few more orders of games if I knew I could stack them on one preorder.

Afraid not my fine feathered friend, one per customer.

Significant spike on the trade value of Injustice for PS3. Was going for about $20 over the weekend and is now up to $35.12, 360 version at $27.06. I love the game but I might just jump on this as it would only put me at a $2 loss (thanks a lot taxation) and the lag of the online play is a serious discouragement from wanting to keep the game.

Just locked in my trade for :ps3: Injustice. Went back to the page and it's now a $0.25.

 
im at work when im on cag. I get paid to look for flips/etc. ;) glad i locked it in. you might look into locking in farcry 3 also cuz gamestop should have them on sale this week, but profit is eh... only hope is used prices drop too and stack some coupons, but whatev. thanx all.

edit i locked injustice for 35 for ps3, crazy it went even higher! everyone knows this should go the way of mk and have a 'complete w dlc edition' and that will probly be $20 by end of year. and that's for skins and Lobo/Batgirl/Scorpion/Zod.

At $35 I was still slightly on the fence because I do genuinely love the game but have trouble wanting to play it when there doesn't seem to be any interest in fixing the netcode. Already grabbed FC3 at Target the other week with the price match and pre-order card for $20 so the flip is really more of a marginal loss. lol Probably going to just return it and wait since I have it on PC and it will surely hit $20 again.

 
debating cancelling my MLB 2k12 trade in for Far Cry 3 instead.  I'd get a $12 profit with Far Cry as opposed to $7 with MLB, but I do want to play Far Cry...hmm.

lol you are correct. I guess if I start playing tomorrow I could get a good chunk through the story and then rebuy again it when it hits $15 later this year.

 
I just started playing Far Cry 3.

Soooo much fun liberating outposts.

Only wish crafting wasn't such an integral part of the game. I can only care like two magazines for anything. Which isn't much in an SMG.
