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!

Where do I trade in video games on Amazon?

On the Amazon Video Game Trade-In Store or on all (desktop) video games product detail pages. Customers can find the trade-in feature right below the price and above the platform selection on all desktop video games product detail pages while shopping for new video games.

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 are Amazon's T&Cs for trade-ins?

Trade-In Program Terms & Conditions


 
  • Your participation in the trade-in program (the "Program") is subject to the terms and conditions stated below, Amazon.com's Conditions of Use and Privacy Notice, and all rules and policies for the Program included on Amazon.com, including those stated in Frequently Asked Questions and Help pages (collectively, "Program Terms").
  • Items you submit for trade-in using the Program must be shipped only from the United States or APO/FPO, and you must have a physical address or P.O. Box located in the United States or APO/FPO. Products shipped from outside the United States or APO/FPO may not be accepted or returned.
  • Items you submit for trade-in using the Program are subject to acceptance by us, and may be purchased by us or a third-party merchant participating in the Program.
  • Items we accept will be purchased from you and you will be paid for the items with an Amazon.com Gift Card(s) issued for the value of your trade-in. Amazon.com Gift Cards are subject to the Amazon.com Gift Card Terms & Conditions. The Amazon.com Gift Card(s) will be deposited directly into your Amazon.com account. You will not be entitled to any other payment for items you submit for trade-in using the Program.
  • You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to sell all items you submit for trade-in using the Program, that the items are not counterfeit or stolen, and that your submission of them complies fully with the Program Terms. We may use a stolen goods database to determine if submitted items were ever reported stolen.
  • The items you submit must meet the Product Condition Criteria, as determined by us in our sole discretion, or such items will be rejected. Rejected items will be subject to the Rejected Items terms and conditions below.
  • Prior to choosing a condition for your item, you must review the condition description presented to you during the trade-in submission process, inspect your item thoroughly and ensure that it meets the condition criteria you specify. We will inspect your item against the same condition criteria.
  • We cannot confirm the trade-in value (TIV) of an item until We receive your trade-in. Despite our best efforts, a small number of the items in our catalog may display an inaccurate TIV. If the correct TIV of an item is lower than the stated TIV, we may, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions on whether you wish to submit the trade-in at the correct TIV or cancel your trade-in and notify you of such cancellation. If your trade-in is cancelled due to an incorrect TIV, we will return the item to you at no additional cost. You will not receive any payment for the returned item.
  • We reserve the right to cancel any trade-in in our sole discretion, including without limitation if certain quantity limits are reached. If we cancel a trade-in that you have already shipped, we will return the item to you at no additional cost. You will not receive any payment for a canceled trade-in.
  • We may terminate your participation in the Program at any time in our sole discretion, including without limitation if you submit items for trade-in that do not meet the condition criteria you specify or are counterfeit or stolen.
  • We may revise the Program Terms at any time and may suspend or terminate the Program at any time without notice to you.
 
Rejected Items
  • Items are inspected upon receipt using the Product Condition Criteria, as determined by us in our sole discretion. Items failing to meet the Product Condition Criteria will be rejected ("Rejected items"). You will not receive any payment for Rejected Items.
  • We will not return the following Rejected Items to you: Lost, Undeliverable, or Counterfeit items. We will dispose of Undeliverable items in our sole discretion.
    "Lost" items are items that are lost in transit.
  • "Undeliverable" items are items that were rejected and returned to you, but were returned by the carrier back to us as undeliverable.
  • "Counterfeit" items are items that match the exact version displayed in the Trade-In store, but are counterfeit reproductions of the originals.

[*]We may, in our sole discretion, dispose of or return to you the following Rejected Items: Extra, Damaged, Incorrect, or Incomplete items.
  • "Extra" items are items received by us but not on the trade-in list.
  • "Damaged" items are items that match the exact version displayed in the Trade-In store but are not in any acceptable condition.
  • "Incorrect" items are items that do not match the exact version displayed in the Trade-In store.
  • "Incomplete" items are items that are missing any required components, as specified in the Condition Criteria (like CD-ROMs) that were included in the original item.

[*]We may, in our sole discretion, accept Incorrect items for trade-in. If the Incorrect item is eligible for trade-in, we may provide you with an Amazon.com Gift Card(s) in the amount of the TIV for the Incorrect item instead of disposing of or returning the Incorrect item to you.
[*]We will return the following Rejected Items to you: Downgraded items.
  • "Downgraded" items are items that are graded in a lower acceptable condition than what was specified during the submission.

[*]However, if the item was Downgraded to a lower condition that is still eligible for trade-in, and you opted to receive the TIV for the lower condition when you selected the return option, then you will receive an Amazon.com Gift Card(s) in the amount of the TIV for the lower condition instead of receiving the item back from us. Rejection reasons and return package tracking progress can be viewed from Your Trade-In Account .
[*]In addition, we may not return items to you if the number of Rejected Items received from you reaches a limit that is determined by us in our sole discretion.
 
Instant Payment
  • If you are eligible for and choose to participate in Instant Payment, you will receive Amazon.com Gift Card(s) in the amount of the TIV at the time you initiate a trade-in.
  • Your participation in Instant Payment is subject to these terms and conditions, as well as the Program Terms.
  • Eligibility for Instant Payment is determined at our sole discretion and may change at any time without notice.
  • Instant Payment may be offered on eligible trade-ins and you have the option to accept or reject this option for a trade-in. Once your choice is made for a particular trade-in, it cannot be changed.
  • Instant Payment requires you to select a valid payment method which you have the legal right to use. Once the payment method is selected for a particular trade-in, it cannot be changed
  • If you selected Instant Payment and we have delivered you an Amazon.com Gift Card(s) in the amount of the TIV, then you authorize us to:
    charge your payment method for the Amazon.com Gift Card(s) if you cancel the trade-in;
  • charge your payment method for the Amazon.com Gift Card(s) if no items are received within 25 calendar days;
  • charge your payment method for the Amazon.com Gift Card(s) issued for any Rejected item, unless the item was Downgraded and you opted to receive the TIV for the lower condition when you selected the return option; and
  • charge your payment method for the Amazon.com Gift Card(s) less an amount equal to the actual TIV for the trade-in product determined in the grading process if the item was Downgraded and you opted to receive the TIV for the lower condition when you selected the return option.

[*]We will not be liable for any charges, interest, or other fees incurred by you due to the need to charge your payment method for the Amazon.com Gift Card(s).
[*]In the event your payment method must be charged but the transaction cannot be completed successfully, we reserve the right to pursue any available remedies.
[*]We may limit or restrict the number and amount of Instant Payment trade-ins you can place in our sole discretion, including under the following scenarios:
  • You have Instant Payments outstanding
  • Your payment method failed validation
  • We were unable to charge your payment method successfully
  • Any abuse of this program

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.

Carry on! :)

So much for $500 to $3000...... Well that went to hell. Anyone know how long it takes to get your $10 eGift Card?

The hilarious thing is the trade in value for some of those pricing errors are still the same.

We apologize for the delay in getting back with you.  Unfortunately, due to a pricing error on our side we are unable to approve your order as is.

think of the next CAG who thinks they are getting a deal on Contra 3DS.

purposefully sending the wrong game is iffy to me..

Seems a little silly to worry about a non-existent game. I think most CAGs would know there is no such thing as Contra 3DS.

I think screwing anyone with the wrong game is just wrong. Not that I think they will take it since they should be trained well enough.

Also anyone sending anything to Newegg it seems like the highest TIV for a single item is $750. Amazon goes into $2000s for TIVs.

I agree screwing anyone would be, but it's not a game that you can buy. The only listing on Amazon for it is a pre-order page...no used copies up....launch date of 2020. I realize it's schematics at play here but I would hope common sense would prevail in regards to this one. Even a joe gamer who doesn't read message boards wouldn't be looking for Contra 3DS to buy because it doesn't exist. Even if he saw the listing and wanted to purchase it on name alone he can't. If it's hurting anyone it's Amazon and no one else.

I guess they realized they were going to come out on the short end of that deal, so they bailed on you. How shocking.

You should get your eGiftCard in a couple of days or less.

Should I ask what you were trying to trade in?

EldritchOnRye said:
As in you think I should demand full credit?
Click to expand...
Without question. You sent in a working system with accessories, they sent you back a non-working system without accessories. If they sent you back the system in the same condition you sent it in, there's no damage done. In this case, there's a loss of the full TIV because you would never know how it would have been accepted.

There's no reason why you should take half the value, as that allows them to get out of the trade for half the value. If you get them to provide full value, then they get the hint that they screwed up.

Sorry read that wrong go ahead and ask what I was trying to trade in and I'm not shocked at all. Honestly I like the system better then Amazons but am wondering if they deny like Amazon.

Four cameras since I didn't know you could do a single item three at the the time, each costed around $50-$150 on Amazon NIB figured getting $750 per camera would be great run. It bombed hard as you can notice. I'm still thinking about relocking and getting another gift card.

I would try from a different email address, just as added backup.

 
Newegg offers the best Trade in system I have ever seen. A bunch of free $10 gift cards and whiny bitchy people that run it going on about about "gaming forums" scheming.


BTW, what's up NeweggJeff. Come back I love your Ubisoft PC uplay key sales. I cleaned up during the last one, I miss you.
 
If one was to trade in a controller for like new condition (box etc) that is red but the UPC brings up blue on Amazon's site what would happen?

I think it isn't required, but do you have to AV cables for a system trade in for acceptable level?  I know their description says not required but what do they care.

Unless the upc is the same for red and the blue (check the upc of the other) then it should not matter but if it is different then chances of it getting rejected are somewhat likely as sometimes it does not matter but other times it does (depends on the grader).

For acceptable it isn't really required to have the av cables but for the sake of completeness I have sent mine in with one when doing a system trade in. Again it comes down the grader if they so choose to pass or fail it on their whim.

Back on topic:

NorAm and whoever grades books, it sure would be nice if you could go ahead and finish processing my 7+ games/guides listed as "Processing..." sometime today. :roll:

In other news, I just received shipping confirmation for my two dreamGEAR Wii kits.

Thanks. I hadn't dropped it in the UPS drop-box at work, so relocked and swapped paperwork and labels.

I have 10 in processing, one of which I wish would just get rejected and my stuff sent back to me already. I have a few more in-transit and a few more to drop off with UPS.

My guides never went to Processing, just "Not Received" to done. How about yours?

My guides still say "Not Yet Received", but according to the tracking information, they were received on Monday. Therefore I consider them also "Processing...". :nottalking:

I forgot...I traded a textbook about a year ago and the processing stage is very quick on the books but they stay "in transit" for however long it takes for them to get to your books. If I properly recall, if you see "processing" on the book it might come through the same day.

 
I have about 10+ processing.... too. Dreamgear crap shipped as well. All my guides have been accepted :) Nothing yet today though. 

 
Hey this is for everyone....

I noticed that there is quite a bit of overlap in this thread with the game postings from Gamestop. I definitely appreciate the postings but it almost seems like at times we are posting the same things. 

Maybe we should create a wiki post that everyone can edit and update as values fluctuate? Have a section for DS, Wii, PS3 etc. etc. 

It seems like even when some of these trade-ins go away they come back at a later date. It might be nice to have one master list for all of us.

I've never started a wiki post on this site so I'm not sure what we'd have to do, to get it rolling but thoughts? 

P.S. - (Not even sure if CAG 3.0 has the option)

My only thing against a wiki is that it can go out of date in a matter of minutes. People will go there, see the great flips only to find them likely gone. I know some of them come back, but by that time I'm sure there will be people that'll be like "aw, fuck that, I never catch the good stuff"...Well OK I'm probably describing myself there...

 
Ok no wiki, just a thought. They do tend to take a lot of work. It wasn't really about "keeping" up it was more about cutting down on the duplicates. 

Shit, I had one of my Sniper Elite III's rejected...for cracked disc...it was slightly cracked but it still worked. Got the 2 from Gamefly. Hopefully I can get it back soon(ish) and try to take it up with Gamefly. Not sure how they normally handle those situations. At least they took the 1.

I had an issue with a damaged disc last year and they refunded me after I sent an email. They said they'd get a return label to me but never did.

I know I see repeated items, though sometimes, it's better for the repeats and catch them later when missed before.

Gamefly will refund you and that's it. Unless they magically have another one on-hand to send out while a sale is on-going, you'll just get your money back.

My two Sniper IIIs were pristine and were accepted as Good.

 
Stupid Amazon, just had 1 of the 2 Puzzler World 2013 - Nintendo 3DS rejected. I sent one in complete and 1 as cart only. The accepted item was downgraded, so what are the bets for which item is returned.

 
Alright sent off an e-mail to Gamefly, hopefully they just refund it or send me another if they have it. Hopefully if they want the disc back Amazon gets it back to me before too long.

I vote no on wiki post. If you can't keep up with the thread that's your problem. Plus wiki posts always end up out of date.

Agreed. A wiki post will allow lurkers to easily to snatch the trade ins. Whereas people who are truly committed will browse the forum regularly.

 
(^In relation to the above post)

I have become a lurker on this thread simply because

  • 80% of the games posted here are "not available within 100 miles"
  • (+) 19.99% of the games are "not available within 3x.x miles"
That leaves about < 1% chance of ever finding one in my area. So, I just read through everything you guys post hoping that someone will post a good meme/gif that I can laugh about.

58669-so-youre-telling-me-theres-a-c-Sm9B.gif

Please ignore me and keep doing what you are doing :)

 
Man widget tree must be shaking with excitement to finally offload some 15-in-1s and clear out some space in the warehouse. lol

 
I contacted amazon. Talked to the first rep and she said she was going to contact her supervisor to issue the full credit. After several minutes on hold, I got DC (never had that happen form AZ). I did the "call me" option again and I got a different rep. Explained everything again and he passed it along to his supervisor for approval, but he said I should get the full amount within 24 hours. I just got home and I had a message from the first rep saying that her manager is approving the full amount and it should show in 24 hours.

tldr: Tomorrow, I will either have $0 credit for the system, the correct amount of credit, or double the correct amount of credit.

Knowing your history, it'll be option #1.

I found a 3DS from a Goodwill almost a year ago. Sadly the S/N was pulled off by an idiot from Gamestop's repair facility (Does have a GS serial). The S/N is under the battery though I think. any sage advice for me?
 
Gamefly got back to me already and they are sending me a refund for my cracked disc Sniper Elite III. They also already sent a return label and I have until 5-28 to access it....so even if Amazon takes their sweet time on the return I should be good getting it back to them. That puts more good faith for me with Gamefly...haven't been crazy about them in the past but lately I've been really pleased. 

Thanks to everyone who suggested I send them an e-mail.
