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!

I'm still waiting on that second game from a 2-game trade to get paid out. It has been "Processing..." for 3 days now after being "Pending..." for a couple days after the first one was accepted.

In other news, there is definitely something up with the Oct. 15th date. Just to see what would happen I submitted another Trinity Universe (which I have already traded 2 of). I got this message:

Sorry, Trinity Universe has limited trade-in quantity
You've already traded in 2 copies of this item. You will be eligible to submit more of this item after October 15, 2013.
Click to expand...
Before that message would have put the date much farther into the future. It definitely seems like some sort of reset is going on then.

 
Question: 

I sent in two copies of Juiced 2 -- one was accepted and one was rejected as 'wrong item'. I'm assuming the reject for wrong item was because it was in a black case, not a green one. Fine. I'd like to try again w/ the same TIV, since it has since tanked.

Is there a workaround that I can re-grab the packing/shipping labels and try to send this copy back? Or am I just SOL?

If you ever need to reprint a shipping label, all you have to do is go to the original trade-in confirmation email you received from Amazon. The "Print Shipping Label" link will still be active and will take you to where you can print out another copy of your shipping label. But in your case I think you're SOL unfortunately. They've already received/processed/rejected the item so it won't be an outstanding item that you can send in. You can only lock in another trade at that point.

I tried to test out the 2 item trade-in limit as well after seeing Eldritch post that it was showing 2 items every 3 months now (when it had always been 2 items every 6 months before) and I'm getting October 18th, November 18th, and December 1st as the dates for items I've traded two of in July, August, and September respectively. And while those months are in fact 3 months from the last submitted/accepted trades, the dates/days are wrong or just random.

Dunno what's going on but some weird stuff is happening with these timetables on both ends of the trade spectrum for AMZ.

Write them an e-mail. They rejected a copy of Saints Row but accepted another in the same shipment even though it was the same.

 
Well that's interesting my copy of Resident 6 Anthology got rejected because it was missing the codes even though it didn't say those were required for the good condition when I submitted the trade

 
I locked in a trade in and only sent one out of two items. I received credit for one, but if I wanted to send in the second game, can I re-use the same label that I already printed and used before or can I use my own shipping method?

You can use the 'need another label' link (or however it's written) from the label printing page. using the same tracking number is asking for trouble, and spending your own money on shipping seems wasteful. that said if you've already sent one item and had it credited, you might be getting close to the whole trade expiring so make sure to note when that 25 day mark is!

Thanks, I see it now. However, the 25 day mark is six days from now, so I don't know if it's worth risking...

As other people are saying, the label does say to ship by October, though, so I don't know if it will still apply to the 25 day mark for this package. Of course, that may just be a glitch on their part.

Oh fuck.  4 of my trade-in packages worth $100 in credit was mis-sorted at the Illinois hub last week.  It just got resorted back in my origination city in the West Coast yesterday and the new scheduled delivery estimate is the same day that the trade-in's expire.  really sucks to be on the west coast when it comes to UPS ground shipping.  I usually get my trades processed within 2 days of delivery so I think I'm going to be screwed with expired trades.  One of my Amazon orders has been MIA since last week so I'm afraid that contacting CS about these recent issues altogether will raise some flags with Amazon.  I had to file separate A-Z claims with two separate third party sellers just a month ago.  :/
 
Well that stinks.  Seems like a rash of bad luck this week.

However, I got notification that my stuff was all graded "good" other than one Fight Night Rd 3 which was missing a manual and had beat up cover art.  I sent in Trivial Pursuit x2, Heavenly Sword x2, a DVD I didn't want anymore, FNR3 x2 and Wanted x2.  Probably only spent about $40 in GS credit to get $95 in Amazon credit.  Not bad.

Would you recommend that I wait until I have the item back in my hands to do that? Or is it more effective to do it sooner?

Do it right away unless it's something where they say it's damaged and it wasn't when you sent it in and need to see what they did to it.

Well my luck finally ran out and Amazon called my bluff.  I chose the option to return item and they sent it back to me because it was missing a manual.  I'm more pissed at Hastings for sending me the damn game without a manual.  They also downgraded another Hastings purchase because the disc was too stratched. 

 
I never traded in anything on Amazon, I'm going to trade in some older dvd sets I have, just wondering which method is the best to use when trading in, UPS or USPS?

I've never had a problem with UPS and their tracking is far superior to USPS. You're also not paying out of pocket to ship them off.

Their UPS trade shipping is free, but it is slow.

I've used USPS as well and it seems to be much faster even in processing, but you must pay for that one yourself.

 
I had 2 trade-ins stuck in processing limbo for 10+ days each. One expired, contacted CS for promotional credit equal to the "Good" amount. Second one is about to expire tomorrow.

All these promotional credits on my account isn't good at all. fucking Noram or w/e needs to get their shit together cause I can't keep contacting CS about stupid crap like this :(

 
AFS = Amazon Fulfillment Services? Or maybe it's something else.
 

Either way, those letters don't really mean anything to me. Their service and conduct have not changed whatsoever in the past couple of years.

 
Awwwwwww yeaaaaaaah. Got my Sega Fun Pack accepted today as Acceptable. That brings my gift card balance earned from trade-ins up to $134.  :bouncy:

Wanted PS3's value is back up to $8.03, so I'm gonna submit those as acceptable and re-send the ones I had rejected earlier. If all goes well with those, that'll bring my total up to $146. I'm slowly but surely making my way to affording this Launch PS4. :3

Huge thanks to everyone who finds and shares these things, and to everyone who contributes to the thread. This wouldn't be possible without you all!

 
Just had 2x Champions of Norath Accepted as good both were flawless, along with a Castlevania LOS Collectors Edition downgraded to acceptable because the slip cover was not in the best shape, but that was expected so I'm happy. 

 
Had 2x Guitar Hero WT's and one Disney Family Hits accepted. $86.xx Amazon in my pocket, bringing my grand total from all of this flipping to $405. Xbox One almost fully paid!

No one cares. Doesn't matter how you got the money. If the only way you can get it is from flipping stuff then that's very sad and you need to rethink your priorities in life. But I'll say again, no one cares about how much Amazon credit you have honestly. It might make you cool to some lame on the internet but is that really what you're looking for?

Sad.

Sir, I'm saving up all of my credit to buy Amazon.com. Once I amass enough credit I shall rule the earth and then you will bow to me.

 
To be honest - I love CAG.  I've been here for a longgg time. Long before this profile was made.  I like a lot of you guys too.  I know there is a good group of gamers on here.

However the "slickdeal" crowd really disgust me.  The flippers are really sorry people.  If it's some lame game that no one's really going to care about then that's one thing.  If you're buying up all the copies of a new release just to bring to Best Buy for a little bit of extra credit then that's simply just pathetic.

And I've had a run-in with Jackie Chandler in the past.  He's one of the lowest of the "slick CAGs on here"  He has played his part in ruining many great things for thrifty gamers in the past.

These people are really low.  I'm going to leave it at that.

He said his total is $146 in Amazon credit from flipping. That isn't even close to what some people trade-in. You're saying it's fine to flip some old games nobody wants, yet you come in here quoting everyone who's trading in Guitar Hero, or Rock Revolution, or a Sega Fun Pack from 10 years ago. Please just stop.

 
Well it encourages people to do the same bullshit.  It is very wrong to exploit a system the way many of these people do (and this is how they've ruined many great things in the past  too - I've experienced it.  I've been here.  I know.)

All I said that no one cares about the credit you have.  These people do it for internet kudos it's pathetic.  Going and finding a game with high TIV and then posting it so that everyone does the same thing.  Pretty lame existence you know.  Some people even make it to be their lifestyle (like the poster I referenced.  Like I said, I've been here)

 
Had a :ps3: Tomb Raider CE accepted today for the full $75 value.  It was actually the :360: version that I had bought when GS converted them to used.  But I left the slipcover off and threw in a sealed PS3 copy of Tomb Raider that I got from the Target deal. 

Since AWD had sent me CEs/Hardened Editions/etc in the past missing slipcovers as "Good" or above condition, I wanted to see if this would work.  The CE I traded in was complete though (minus DLC/slipcover) as both the  :ps3: and :360: versions come with the same stuff.

Nice little bonus, as I had asked them to return downgraded items and fully expected to get the CE back...

 
Since when did Amazon drop trade in values drop if they were in your que at a higher price. Almost all the items I placed in my que dropped dramatically. I don't often so wondering if this is the nor?

What do you mean? Like you submitted them already or they were in your "basket"?

They were in my basket for a while. I rather trade in all my finds at once instead of one by one. I was looking over my saved trades and the values dropped. Kung Fu Panda was $22 when I put it in, now it's $3 in my basket. Not sure why this is happening... maybe b/c it's been there a while but it never dropped while its in my que before.
