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!

Did anyone else notices that Madden 25 dropped below it's $25 trade in price so now their promo page for this deal is false advertising:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/?ie=UTF8&docId=1001343501

I thought the trade in price was supposed to stay at $25, plus the $25 extra trade-in credit to make it a $9.99 upgrade, but no one has any idea when I try to call or do a chat with Amazon CS.

Anyone have any luck that doesn't already have one locked in from when it was $26 or $30?
Click to expand...
Just submit the trade and send it in. When you go to purchase Madden 25 for next gen contact CS. I'm sure if you just link them to the promotion they'll gladly give you the credit.

 
It says: You can upgrade each eligible Xbox 360 game to an Xbox One version of the same title, but you can't upgrade any single title more than once.

 
But when I go to lock-in a trade for NBA & FIFA, I don't get the trade-up promo bonus like I did when I locked in Madden. I was thinking of just sending it in and contacting CS when it gets approved? Also, that way, it'd be the base trade value plus a $25 credit towards anything when they issue it

Wahoo! Second time was the charm for Guitar Hero ($31.75!!) and RR ($7.11 - better than nothing). It was not the charm for my Wii Fit balance board and another Guitar Hero, so back they come and back they go, bouncing from MN to KY until one of us gives in.

This is the same issue I've run into. Decided over the weekend that I was done with the 360 version, but they'll only give me $16.44 despite the guarantee...tried contacting CS, and they told me that they were sorry for the trouble but that I needed to keep an eye on trade-in values and only submit when there was a price that I like...then they told me if I'd like to order the game again, they'd give me a 25% discount...Can't figure out why they think me ordering another 360 version will help the matter at all. I still haven't sent the trade, because I'm very concerned that they'll say that I agreed to a $16.44 credit despite the promo guaranteeing $25.

It tells you right on their page that this is while supplies last. I'm assuming too many people already traded in Madden, therefore the deal is dead:

Until December 31, 2013 or while supplies last, trade in a select Xbox 360 game and get a $25 bonus credit toward the same title on Xbox One in addition to your trade-in value of at least $25. These special trade-in values are good for a limited time as quantities are limited.

They must have set aside a certain number of XB1 copies that are allowed for this 'trade up'. Sneaky, but I can see how it falls in line with the wording.

yep...just got a follow-up confirmation email from Amazon CS apologizing for it but saying at this point they can't do anything to honor the $25 trade-in credit that is still mentioned on the page.

I'm guessing that the best bet at this point is to take advantage of Best Buy's $30 credit along with four other games to get a $25 bonus.

 
Hahaha thanks for the 5 people that answered my question.

I thought maybe it had changed but yeah I'll be sure to start checking the faq. :)

Well I traded in madden for $30 and the $25 bonus isn't even applying to that. On chat with CS right now. He's trying to tell me the promotion is for the xbox 360 version of madden and that I'm trying to buy the wrong copy (xbone). lol

Edit: He eventually just gave me the $25 promotional credit.

Note that is the 2 gun bundle. The regular one gun bundle only trades for 75 cents. I think I got one of these years ago for a few bucks. I would have traded it for the $8.50 (which it went up to now) but I'm pretty sure it is the other bundle.

It was more in the Rock Revolution school of thought.

 
I'm a bit annoyed on Amazon dropping the trade in for Madden.  I was going to trade it in once the XBOX ONE came out.  Hopefully it bounces back and it was a fluke or something

I end up ordering a Lost Planet Colonies Edition for $5 on eBay and sold the one I got from Gamestop for $.64 ($4 shipping, $2.24 profit) on Amazon. I couldn't find any more Platinum Hits w/ serial numbers though.

Right now I have Lost Planet Colonies Edition (Both platinum hits | 2x w/ serial number), Dead Rising (Both platinum hits | 1 w/ serial, 1 w/o) and DmC4 (only 1 platinum hits | 1 w/ serial, 1 w/o). I'm trading them in as 2 triple packs once my other Lost Planet ships in. Guess I'll find out soon whether they'll except the trade in. If not, might try my hand at trading it in again and seeing what happens.

Is it the bundle you all keep talking about sending in? Just noticed the other isn't worth as much.

Yes, lock in as bundle but only sending the disc. I have been trying but no luck so far. I'm just gonna keep sending it in until they cave or the value drops so much that its better to keep the disc as coasters.
 
I wonder if I actually sent in guitar hero with the controller would I get the good value? I don't have the box though as it was just a guitar I picked up for for $2 at a goodwill and a copy of world tour I had.

I would say it's very unlikely you would get good value without a box.

 
FYI: CS from Amazon sent this to me about Madden 25. Not sure how to take this. Sounds like I would get the trade in value + $25 towards Madden 25 - ONE version. So, I would still pay about $20 rather than $9.99

I understand that you want to trade in for the $25.

I've checked with the concerned department and can confirm that you'll still the $25 credit for the 'Madden'.

I request you to please go ahead and take advantage of the XBOX ONE trade up deal.

I need to remember to add this to the faq.

Thanks guys! Havent traded in anything other than games to amazon. So with my ps3 on the way there I won't freak out if they take a while to process it as well.

 
Was about to ship my two triple packs, very happy I decided to read Amazon's fine print were it says that it can't have a "not for resale" label on it. Went to Gamestop and got regular editions of the games that had it and got serial number covers.

Time to ship and hope for the best.

On a side not. I think my local Gamestop manager dislikes me. Everytime I go in there I just ask to get pennied out items, buy converted to used stuff and exchange cases and get manuals. I do pre-order (only twice for Pokemon Y and FFXHD) but not with him (he's barely there when I want to actually buy something). Was trying to get a job there. He doesn't know my name so hopefully he see's my resume and application and see's that I worked there before.

Anyways, best of luck to others trading in the triple pack.

It took you how long to send these in? Also how much gas did you waste changing the games 8 million times? Will there even be any profit after? .

Wanted to make sure so yeah it took me a while. And I walked to Gamestop, not drove. And there will be profit since I paid $28 for the games and will get $71 + $30 promo credit. You damn right I'm going to make sure.

No need to be an ass.

Was thinking that too but I actually found that the actual triple pack does have the not for resale on all the games. Looks like slip case has the serial numbers on it. Since you can't find the slip case though, it's best to get each game with a serial number.


I did just trade in two Disney Infinity's from yesterday's Walmart deal to. Love how the prices on eBay dropped to $40 and Amazon is not allowing people to trade in or sell the games for the PS3 anymore. Oh well. If my 2 capcom triple packs, Code Lyoko Wii and Disney Infinity get accepted for trade in's, I would have made $185 and only spent $51.

My plan to get a PS4 for half off is looking better every day.

Anyone else having problems with the $30 bonus for the dualshock 4 promotion?

My trade is still processing (for over a week after they received my game)

Nope, mine went right through with two complete copies of Vanquish ($16.xx each, paid <$10 each). Got both the Beyond and DS4 promo to trigger.

Has anyone here already completed a trade-in for the trade-up Xbox One promo? Does the $25 credit only deduct from the Xbox One version of the game you traded in?
