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! :)

same here, put them on hold while I F5 this thread every few minutes. Try to group at least 3-4 per store or area to maximize trips.

MJ: Urban assault seems to be easier to find than the original MJ. Thanks Vig!

Ok... definitely not trying to be a dick here. But, I do have a question.

I've been doing this "lock in" game and trying to find these games... I live in a city where there are a TON of GameStops. I have 5 within a 15 minute drive. I could hit all of them within an hour. There are probably a hundred within a 20 mile radius.

However, none of these games are close enough for it to be worth it to go get them. I'm not driving 10 miles to get a game that is probably going to get graded as average and only make a couple bucks. I'll use that much on gas getting them... let alone my time isn't worth making a 10 mile drive for $10.

How are you guys making this worth your time? Like I said, not being a dick here, just trying to understand the concept. I want to make it work.
Click to expand...
I'll lock decent ones in if I know I will be going to that store for something else soon. Making 7 bucks isn't a big deal or worth a 10 mile drive but if you'll be there anyway it's like a little bonus for going. Also, the 2 gamestops I go to aren't far away.

1. From Closed Trade Ins locate the trade number of the expired trade (TRN-#######-#######), copy this entire number.
2. Go back to All Trade Ins and click 'Track Your Packages' on any open Trade In.
3. Go to your browser address bar, locate the Trade ID at the very end of the URL, replace with your Expired Trade ID to see all its tracking.
Your original shipment is listed as Inbound Shipment, once a return begins it will also list Return Shipment with relevant Tracking Details.
If there is only tracking for the Inbound Shipment and nothing else then they are not sending it back ... wait 30 day and contact CS for credit.

Thank you! There is not a package being sent back to me. So hopefully it works out!

That you know of. The one I got back earlier I got neither a rejection or a return tracking number (you rarely get the latter). More often then not though if it's processing and gets accepted as expired you get credited a few days later.

 
It has been a while since I've sent in an Amazon trade and it seems things have changed around here. Since when did we know first names of the graders? ;)

In any case, I was worried because I sent in a Sunset Overdrive Day One edition and the UPC didn't match what was on the trade-in slip (what gives with that - there can't be more than one for that!?). Anyway, they finally accepted it after a long time processing. I now have 4 other things in the newly extended processing stage so I hope it all goes well.

I had that happen with something else recently. I think it was another Day One game. Didn't match the slip but punching it into Amazon brought up the right listing with the trade in.

 
If I ship an item 10 days late, would I still get the credit I locked in for? Just asking since it's holiday season and seems like trade ins are taking longer to process. 

Also with controllers, if I ship in my controller I received with the console, the best I'd be able to get for it would be acceptable right? Since there's no box or anything with it.

 
How long is the normal "processing" time for an Amazon trade-in? I traded in a PS4 controller and it has been processing since December 8th. The last time I did a trade-in was over a year ago and I remember it only taking 2 to 3 days to process.

took about 2 weeks for some of mine recently. it usually only 2-3 days but during thanksgiving thru christmas period it always take longer cause they get backlogged with trade ins especially games people gotten cheap during holiday sales.

Mine have been processing for 6 days so far......

Normally like you, at least within the past month, have been 2-3 days max

 
I'm pretty upset after receiving back 4 pretty significant trade-ins today that were all Black Friday games.  Only 2 of 6 trades that expired while processing actually ended up getting graded for me. 

I think I might just send them back with an advisable note saying something like this trade was received within the 25 days as stated in the email so please kindly do the responsible thing and rectify your mistake, thank you so much!  Or claim that Amazon customer service told me to send them back and that it would be in their best interest to process them. 

I'll just use a shipping label from a new trade but still send the original manifest.  Really nothing to lose this way.

 
So they have rejected both my copy of Kinect Sports Rivals because of incorrect UPC and a textbook because it's the teachers edition, even though I bought it from Amazon on the same product page. Guess I'll put them up on Ebay or something.

About the amount of time involved in a trade-in: It took 2 days for my items to get to Amazon and then about 5 days for them to process it. So expect at least a week.

Yup, found 2 and I knew very well they would be without sleeves (no shortage of a case thanks to ATK :lol:) and sure enough they were. Got 2 of those and 1 of the Wii Ski & Snowboard so not too shabby. B2G1 free was still in effect.

For those who have upgraded to ps4 version and or are planning to do so:

:ps3: The Last of Us TIV: (G) $19.10 (A) $14.61

GS had these converted to regular Halo 4 sku so good luck finding it. The regular ones go for $9.99 so if you find one, not too shabby of a trade.

:360: Halo 4: Game of the Year Edition TIV: (G) $18.11 (A) $13.85

Also, GS has these for $9.97 (sku is same for the black and blue one at GS so you will have to look for the blue one).

:3ds: Nintendo 3DS Pull and Go Folio - Blue TIV: (LN) $36.32 (G) $34.30 (A) $30.27

Well all this talk of rejection is getting me worried. But Thanks DS2U (again!) as I happened to find one of these folios from GS close from work. Sent it off today.

And LOL at myself, I sent of a PSP and left my 2 MicroSD cards inside of it so I called it back...a day before it got delivered. I guess I'll send it back when I get my cards out...and no I didn't leave any nude selfies on it...let alone nude pics of anyone........it was tempting though.

Rvials from MSstore?

They lost one of my games...now I have to sit in their Customer Service loop for a long time. They contacted me monday and said "we will be getting back to you Thursday to tell you what's going on"

You morons didnt ship it out...that's what's wrong.

On another note....I wonder if me turning in like 8 trade ins at one time is making them think im sketchy lol

Yeah the upc on the MS store copy has got to be weird. I traded some in at BB and GS and at both stores when they scanned the upc nothing came up. They had to manually look up the game.

I traded 4 to BB, 2 to GS, 6 to walmart.

Had 0 issues until Amazon. Doesnt make sense that 1 was accepted and 1 was not.

There were 4 available in my area but they are about 40 to 50 miles away. Do what I do. In your case search other areas nearby (or even another state), jot down the store info that has them, and have your base store transfer the item. That is what I am planning on doing. It may take couple of weeks to get them in due to the time of the year but it still gives ample time to send it in. Just a thought.

Well if your able to find a Vita CoD bundle it trades in for $241.51.

http://www.amazon.com/PS-Vita-Call-Duty-Declassified-PlayStation/dp/B002I0JZIS

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.0 $100 $79.99 Gamestop + Free Chromecast and $20 Google Play Credit

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-10-1-Inch-Wi-Fi-Model/dp/product-description/B007M50PTM

Rocksmith Guitar Bundle for Guitar and Bass but your better off reselling it if you find one.

Real Arcade Pro 3 by Hori is interesting. Better off reselling if you find one at Gamestop as well though.

http://www.amazon.com/Real-Arcade-Pro-3-SA-Playstation-3/dp/B002FL0T8U

One really epic one Xperia Play level. I'll send some in first and hope they get accepted then I will post here. This is interesting I can get several for new for $14.99 so the big question is will they deny me sending in a new product. I figure they cannot if it is new in box. If I send in 10 on Ebay I'll get $5600 but if it fails I lose $149.90+shipping. This is something.

Interesting PSP LE Editions but might be worth more later.

I "wore out my welcome" on this during the XC, MPT and FE:RD days. I did it so much I had to start getting them transferred to stores further away. How ironic is that?
 
Well decided to order and go for it. This will be interesting. The amount of profit was just to much for me not to order. I can only hope I get them in time to send them in and get the full value. Doubt anyone here will want to wish my luck though.

You are playing with fire trading in on five different Amazon accounts. I would urge you to stick to two maybe three if you have family members with legitimate accounts. You could always sell the extra phones to members here once yours get processed. Just something to think about.

Might be a good trade if you have a white DSi and Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story. $104.82 Acceptable.

You are telling me that you found an ebay to Amazon flip; i.e. $14.99 to $560.00. :shock: Color me intrigued!

Well if you do go out, you are going out in blaze of glory (if Amazon catches on to using multiple accounts for your own trades). Good luck on your flip. Let us know how this goes.
