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!

Tempted to find one and trade in as acceptable but going to have a hard time finding a complete Wii (w/o the game of course). Anyone know if it has to be a specific Wii serial number wise since there are many white models out there.

 
I contacted amazon support last night and she said that after my trade in was processed that I would receive the promo code.

I think as long as it was a white wii it would be okay. Also it doesn't need to be complete for acceptable.

I got the credit for a gamecube yesterday that was just the cube with a power cable - no controllers, A/V cables, etc.

So we don't even need to have the game or wheel possibly for it to be acceptable?

Thanks. I know it doesn't need to be complete, I just rather trade in as much as I can. It's a morals thing.

My two Gamecube's are processing now. One was complete and the other didn't have a controller. I'm trading those in as acceptable but I went out of my way to make sure I got everything I could got them.

Anyone tried, or know, if Metroid Prime Trilogy has to be the original Steelbook version to get a "Good" grade or if the GS reprints should work, and have the same bar code?

It's a different UPC but I got good on both of the white cased ones I sent in from the B1G1 PUR coupon.

I'm just going to send my brothers and his game in, buy him a new one when it pops up cheap and profit.

 
Bleh - FedEx apparently lost the kinects I ordered from Amazon Warehouse. Both packages were supposedly delivered at 6 pm on Saturday. I was home at the time. I don't know where they "delivered" them, but not to me.

I never have any problems when Amazon uses UPS. Since when does Amazon use FedEx? I'm pretty sure UPS has delivered just about every single thing I've ordered from Amazon. (Makes me think of the UPS man coming from South Park)

 
Both my Indigo Zelda Gamecube's were accepted as acceptable today for $198 in credit! Only spent $65~ on both consoles (on eBay both complete except one w/o a controller). Really great deal! 

Also used the credit from the Capcom Triple Packs and one of my Rock Band 3 Keyboard Bundle's and got today's 3DS XL lightning deal for $0 (only spent $69 on those games).

Now to play the waiting game and stay at my computer to get Amazon's 32in TV for $98. I'm also hoping to trade in 2 more Rock Band 3 Keyboard Bundle's on my sister's account so I can get a Nexus 10 for $200~. Going to use the current $200 credit on my account for Christmas shoppinh.

 
So i got my credit for my Madden 25 Anniversary Edition today. I added Madden 25 xbox 1 ($49) to my cart. Promotions were applied. got the game for FREE ($0.00)  AND STILL HAVE THE  ORIGINAL CREDIT BALANCE IN MY GIFT CARD FROM MY MY TRADE IN. THANK YOU AMAZON!!!!

 
My trade of BF 4 (360) was finally processed today after a week+ of them having it. I ordered BF 4(X1) last week to get it by launch. I paid 32.54 out of pocket for the game ($26.19 in gift cards and $5.22 in rewards points to get down to that price). I paid $3.99 for one day shipping so the total was $63.95. I got the $11 refund already. 

Is it going to be worthwhile to return my shipment to Amazon and order a new one using the $25 off promo and the lowered price ($49) or should I not even bother? I'll end up saving another $10 or so right?

Bleh - right after getting a refund from amazon I hear my front porch door open downstairs and and something bang of a wall. The FedEx man pitched my kinects from amazon warehouse in (were supposedly delivered on Saturday). So they are over 72 hours late from the "delivery" time that FedEx said they dropped them off.

Now I gotta go email amazon again and tell them that they showed up. I never have any problems with the 100's of packages I get from UPS, but FedEx can't deliver one.

Onto the actual Kinect Trades

 - did anyone send theirs in yet? The ones I got come with the box and the game. Should there be anything on their saying refurbished, or just sending them in good enough?

I noticed the UPC doesn't match the "refurbished" but I still sent it out anyway to take a chance.
 
Sigh. Second time contacting CS about that blue DS has turned out to be another bust as well. First time, they told me they'd send me the GC if it doesn't process within a week. A week later, the second CS tells me that they have to wait for the Trade-In department and she'd send me daily e-mails to confirm whether she received it or not. She was e-mailing me daily...until it stopped on Sunday. Haven't received another, and tomorrow, I'll contact CS again.

EDIT: Spoke too soon. Four minutes later, I get an email from a new rep saying the gift card will be deposited within 7-10 business days. Sad that it won't be in time for BF. Woulda liked to get that 360 bundle.

I sent mine in... it was delivered yesterday, now the waiting game.

Also, FedEx delivers Amazon stuff on Saturdays only (to my knowledge). Any time I've had a Saturday delivery, FedEx has handled it, not UPS or anyone else. They always do a shitty job at it too, by just tossing the shit wherever they feel like it. No knock, no anything, just toss the shit on the sidewalk in front of our apartments and drive off. Bunch of useless twats.

 
I sent mine in with the game but without the box. Didnt want it to get immediately rejected due to wrong upc. I'll take $48 for acceptable any day. It got there yesterday as well. I wonder how many kinects they'll get this week?
 
My 360 version of BF4 was rejected, my fault I clicked the limited but sent in the standard.  It would be fine but it was rejected two weeks ago on 11/14 and I still dont have it back it still says processing for return.  I'm guessing they lost it?

Contact Amazon CS via chat and see what they can do for you? Either find a tracking number for you, or give you some kind of compensation.

 
Please help with 2 major problems:

1. Has the verified and processed stage expanded a great deal? My Tiger Woods games seem like they been processed for a week now but I haven't gotten the gift card deposit in my trade in balance. There is an "Expired" label for that trade-in that has been there since I sent the about a week after the ship by date. What should I do?

2. This trade in qualified for the Dualshock 4 controller and the promo is still attached to that listing in my trade in account.

The rules state:

Qualifying trade-ins must be submitted between 12:01 a.m. (Pacific Time) September 29, 2013 and 11:59 p.m. (Pacific Time) November 6, and received and accepted between 12:01 a.m. (Pacific Time) September 29, 2013 and 11:59 p.m. (Pacific Time) November 30, 2013

However, the verified and processed stage may last longer than Nov. 30 so I'm a bit worried.

Anyone still getting extra promos after ordering their Xbox One games? Ordered BF4 and when it shipped, I got another promo code email and at checkout, it took $25 off again. So, $24 for another copy of BF4 since it is on sale.

I ordered my second copy of Madden last night and it has shipped but I haven't received the promo again yet. It would be my third one.

 
Those of us with a $20 Beyond Two Souls Trade Promo Credit should be able to grab a copy from amazon for $5 during the lightning deal tomorrow afternoon, correct?  The promo is supposed to last through the 30th and applies to any copy of Beyond Two Souls shipped and sold by Amazon.  I assume the copies during the lightning sale will fit this description.

Amazon PMed one of the retailers for $34.99 and the $20 coupon does work. So you can get it right now for $14.99. You can take a chance with the lightning deal and try to get it for $4.99, but good luck with that.

Its not like everyone has the promotion?

Why would it be so hard, just cause of the price

or is there really that much bots?

Amazon PMed one of the retailers for $34.99 and the $20 coupon does work. So you can get it right now for $14.99. You can take a chance with the lightning deal and try to get it for $4.99, but good luck with that.

I plan on trying my luck with the lightning deal and just going with the $35 PM if I fail. Worst case scenario is a free rental with a trade locked in at $18.57.

Anyone still getting extra promos after ordering their Xbox One games? Ordered BF4 and when it shipped, I got another promo code email and at checkout, it took $25 off again. So, $24 for another copy of BF4 since it is on sale.

Not for me. It happened once when I ordered my personal copy, but the second time ordering it didn't give me a promo.

You also have to consider that each person has so many minutes to finish the process so if enough people claim it and just walk away from their computer that still blocks out people past a certain point in line.

 
Just a heads up for anyone trading in through Amazon.  There are different bar codes for the regular edition, and the first edition that includes the China Rising DLC.   I didn't notice, did the trade as the standard but sent in the "special edition".  My trade was rejected so I had to go through the whole process again, on top of that the case was damaged by the return shipping so I had to switch it out with another double disc case I had.  Counting shipping and processing times it's going to take me about 3 weeks to get my Battlefield 4 on the Xbox One. 

 
Got my Indigo Game Cube accepted today.
Couldn't find the controller, so just sent console and cables got credit for Acceptable (Condition Revised) $99.20.

Thanks again to EldritchOnRye for my Trade of the Year!
 
just had my Kinect - Like New - Accepted for $66.64.

I sent in the original box, game & ac adapter.

Bought it brand new on release...so def not refurbed.

 
Please forgive this stupid question, but if it says "Please ship by 12/2/13" it means I can drop it off at a UPS store on 12/2, right?  It's for Batman Arkham Origins which I'm just starting now and I'd much prefer to ship it out on Monday than Saturday.

Or for a week or so afterwards. I just sent off some stuff from early October that still hasn't expired for whatever reason.

You should be fine. I believe the limit is that if it's not there within 25 days, they won't accept it. Something I sent in about 22 days after submitting still got processed.
