Old thread, new thread here: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?p=8775793

WHEN REPORTING TRADE-IN VALUES PLEASE POST BASE VALUES & SYSTEM IT IS FOR.

First post contains promo information & useful information and frequently asked questions. The second post is blank currently but is there for expansion or to revert back to the way things were. Third post has the 360/Wii/PS3 values. Fourth post has the PS2/GC values. Fifth post has DS/PSP values. Sixth post has hardware/accessory values for all systems.

Instructions on finding games in the database and inputting the values from different sections can be found in my blog post here: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/blog.php?b=14143. I would put the entire post in the thread but this is already kind of a large post.

FAQ
These trade-in values are really low!
While that may be true, if you combine the games with the right promotion they can work to your advantage. There are knowledgeable people in this thread that are normally willing to help.

Is there any way to look at what the previous values reported on a game?
You can search through this thread and previous ones to see what a game has been reported in the past. With the TIV Tracker you can sort by date and then go through the list of past updated values through that as well. Here are the previous GS TIV Threads: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13

Can I trade-in sealed games?
No. You might come across the rare GameStop that would let you do it, but they are going to open them anyway.


 I don't want to get hassled about the values I post, how can I get the information out there?
If you do not feel comfortable or willing to put the values in the thread you have two options available. You can input them in the TIV tracker or you can send them to me via PM. Either way the database and these lists will be updated. Putting them into the TIV tracker does save me some time later on.

Do trade-ins have to have their original case, insert and manual?
No, however it will be YMMV on if they charge you a refurbish fee for them in that condition. Most GameStops wont charge a fee but there are some that charge for incomplete games.

Will they accept my game if it is really beat up?
YMMV. It really all depends upon the employee you get. Some will charge refurbish fees, some wont, some wont accept the game and others just take them without a second glance.

What are the refurb fees on games?
There appears to be set prices for set value ranges. We aren't 100% certain on the splits just yet. Here is what we have currently:
$0.25-$2 Value: $0.75 Refurb Fee
$2.01-$4 Value: $1 Refurb Fee
$4.01-$7 Value: $2 Refurb Fee
$7.01-$10 Value: $3 Refurb Fee
$10.01 & Higher Value: $4 Refurb Fee
This information isn't guaranteed by any mean and we are still working on nailing it down.

What are the refurb fees on consoles?
They are listed in the hardware TIV section, highlight in red.


I have a Collector's/Limited/Special edition of a game, do I have to trade-in all of the extras?
No, but there are a handful of games that their variations have separate listings at GameStop: Madden 09 Anniversary Edition, Battlefield: Bad Company Gold Edition, and a few others.

Why didn't the percent bonus go for my accessory for a system that was included?
Unless stated otherwise, and they are rarely included, the bonuses never apply to accessories. Except the EDGE card of course.

I traded in a bunch of games for the "Trade X, get $X bonus" promo and it gave me the percentage bonus instead?
I can't give concretes on why this happens. GameStop computers are normally pretty good at giving you the better promo. In the case of a percentage bonus being run at the same time as a "Trade X, get $X" promo, things can get messy. The system appears to only give one promo on games per transaction so if you had a few games that you want to go to the percentage bonus and a stack for the "Trade X, Get $X" it will regularly apply the percentage to all of the games. Your best bet is to do all "Trade X, Get $X" games in one transaction on their own. The GameStop clerk may say that the system will figure it all out, tell them you want a separate transaction anyway. As always, check your receipt before you leave the store.


Can I trade in multiple copies of the same game?
YMMV. The official policy is no, but there are some GameStops that overlook that rule.

What all do I have to trade in for a console trade-in?
Xbox 360: Console Unit, power brick, A/V Cables, Controller (wired/wireless)
Wii: Console Unit, Power Cable, A/V Cables, Wiimote, Nunchuck, Sensor Bar
Playstation 3: Console Unit, Power Cable, A/V Cable, Controller, USB Cable
Playstation 2: Console Unit, Power Cable, A/V Cable, Controller (Must be a DualShock2) *Fat unit requires either back cover or network adapter*
GameCube: Console Unit, Power Cable, A/V Cable, Controller
PSP: Handheld, A/C Adapter
Nintendo DS/DSLite/DSi: Handheld, A/C Adapter, Stylus

 Can I trade in a defective/broken console?
For the most part yes. If it powers on but doesn't play games, they will take the console as a refurb unit and put a refurb fee on the console. The refurb fee on the console will vary on the price of the console so those numbers will change. You are still required to trade in everything required listed in the question directly above. They will not, however, take RROD 360 consoles. There may be stores that still do it, but official policy is to not take them in.

What is the difference between PowerUp Rewards and PowerUp Rewards Pro?
The basic card is free and only allows you to acrew points when spending money. The Pro card costs $14.99 and is basically the same as the previous EDGE program.

How much does a PowerUp Rewards Pro subscription cost?
It costs $14.99 and is good for a year. It also comes with a 1-year subscription to Game Informer magazine.

What bonuses come with having an PowerUp Rewards Pro card?
You will get an extra 10% trade-in credit on the base value of the game, extra 10% off the purchase of pre-owned games and 10% off new strategy guides.

 Does the Power Up Rewards Card give me a bonus on hardware trade-ins?
No. You will only get the bonus for games and accessories.

What if I want cash instead of credit, what do they deduct?
If you decide that you want cash instead of credit, they will take 20% off the base values and promos will not apply.

Does promo "....." have a minimum trade-in value?
If the promo has a minimum trade-in value requirement, it will be listed in the promo. If it isn't there, then there is no limit. However, as with all trades, they are subject to manager approval so the manager could have setup his own little rule-set requiring a minimum of whatever.

I used a Power Trade promo for a pre-order, can I cancel that pre-order and get the credit or move it to another game I want?
Yes on both accounts. However, if you do a bunch of the power trades and just straight drop the pre-order you could create some ill-will between yourself and the employees you cancel on. However, if you look at the wordings on promos, they can remove the bonus trade-in value if they decide to.

I just tried to use a promo that has a select list of games eligible, but they say my game isn't eligible anymore, what gives?
Basically they have the right to change the eligible games at any time. They tend to update these frequently so as to lock out any easy/cheap games. It's best to check the eligible list the day of your trade.

Can I stack two different trade-in promos?
No. The only thing that will stack with trade-ins is your EDGE card. Some will report success, but this requires a manual override and is very YMMV.

If I pay for an item using all credit on my card, do I have to pay sales tax?
This varies depending upon the state you live in.

What states charge sales tax on purchases paid in full with credit and which ones don't?
Charge Sales Tax on Credit Purchases: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia
Does Not Charge Sales Tax on Credit Purchases: Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming
No Information Yet:


My state doesn't charge sales tax on purchases made by credit, why is gamestop.com charging me tax?
It is just the way they have designed their system. The best theory we have seen is that since you are only inputting the number off of the back of the card, it isn't going to pick up the programming from the specially tagged EDGE cards. Some kind of programming that gets input from their system that wont show up when only inputting the number off the back of the card.

[quote name='musicjunkie']all base as of 5/27

360:
Fallout 3 - $2.50

Fallout 3 Broken Steel/Point Lookout - $2.50
Fallout New Vegas - $8

PS3:
Portal 2 - $23 ($34.50 after PUR and 40% coupon)

If you want to hear a little story I went in planning to trade in all the FO3 stuff and getting the extra $10 and on a second transaction using the 40% coupon for Portal 2 and NV. I told the dude exactly this and he said 'oh don't worry it will stack no problem' and scans the coupon. It was busy and I didn't do the math but assumed he was right (even though we all know things NEVER stack at GS unless its PUR card).

So I got home and was going to post the values here and see only one promo was applied to all my games and it was the 40% extra one. Basically instead of gaining an extra $3.33 for those 3 I only got $1. Dude screwed me out of $7 and probably only wanted to keep his percents up. Bah damnit.[/QUOTE]


Yup. He's right, it will give you the best promo possible... but it won't combine two different promos. You have to do separate transactions for that.

I almost always check right away because they've screwed things up for me in the past. A few months ago I bought RE5: Gold Edition only to get home and find out months later (never even opened the case) that I was given the regular RE5. Traded it back in a couple days ago, and was charged a refurb fee for the disc being scratched. I DIDN'T EVEN TAKE THE DISC OUT OF THE CASE!

Nonetheless, check everything on your receipt (and even the condition of the discs) before you leave the store. I've learned my lesson, haha.

Out of curiosity, has anyone had any issues with the 40% coupon? Usually I hear horror stories of people getting the wrong bonus credit with GS coupons, especially in the last couple of months.

Nope, I went in store, checked out quickly and it came out to the correct price,


My tip would be to add up all the items you are trading in and do the math ahead of time and estimate how much money you will get. That way, if the credit they offer you seems way off, you know they are wrong.

I calculated the credit I was gonna get, it exactly came out to it was suppose in store.

Does the 40% coupon override the 3/$10 if it's better? My store had the coupon taped to their register, so no need to bring your own. The dude scanned it, but I didn't see my trade value change. Looking at my values, I think the 3/$10 is the better value since the coupon applies to PS3 and Xbox games only, and I only had two of those.

Anyways, some values from today. Probably nothing new here to update ;)

[quote name='TMNT770']can u combine 40% coupon with the trade in 3 and get extra 10 dollar credit?[/QUOTE]

For the love of God, I can't wait for this deal to be over so people can stop asking.

It says on the coupon it can't be combined with other offers, so NO. 50% extra TIV on titles is usually better than the 3 for $10 deal, anyways (Unless each of your 3 titles' base* TIV is $6.66 or less). I r can do mathz.

Hmm? Base TIV = $6.66 + $3.33 bonus (from 40% coupon + 10% PUR) (x3) = + $9.99 bonus vs. +$10 bonus from trading-in 3.

Unless you misunderstood me and thought I didn't mean BASE TIV or thought I wasn't factoring in PUR (which I said I did ^). Don't be a smartass if there's an opportunity for misinterpretation, fuck.

I can do math too

40% coupon + pur
8 x 1.5 = 12 x 3 =36

$10 for 3 + pur
8 x1.1= 8.80 x 3 = 26.40 + $10 = $36.40

$36.40 > $36

For an $8 game and below the trade 3 is the better deal.

In your example you didn't add pur to the trade 3.

6.66 x 1.5 = (9.99 x 3) = 29.97

6.66 x 1.1 = (7.32 x 3) + 10 = 31.98

Base TIV - $8
3 for 10 - $8 + 10% PUR ($.80) + $3.33 = $12.13
40% coupon - $8 + 50% (PUR + coupon) = $12.00

Technically the cutoff is $8.30 but rarely do you see games with that odd of a value. So basically it's $8 or under = 3 for 10. Over $8, +40%.

The only misinterpretation was your poor math, so don't get all mouthy at someone fixing your mistake. Especially when it was already posted in this thread (or the 40% coupon thread, or possibly both).
 
Yeah, and I pretty much made the cutoff $9 since there's money involved in printing the coupon. Speaking of which I printed 2 and will probably not use them. Oh well...

JP, maybe you should move the FAQ to the first post. Then we could at least update the Wiki with answers to some people's questions. It probably won't solve all of these posts that ask "can I do this or that," but maybe we can try.

I didn't add PUR, I forgot they stacked, thank you.

^ At least that was polite.

@ xska Not pure math as much as I forgot that PUR stacked with the trade 3 in for $10 deal. Had you at least been polite about it, I wouldn't have gotten so irritated. Why is the OnLive topic cleaned instead of this one? =/
 
Just came back from trading in a few games. Very YMMV, but the Gamestop I went to stacked the 3 for $10 with the 40%.

:ps3:
Motorstorm: Apocalypse - $20
MLB 11: The Show - $22

:360:
Call of Duty: Black Ops - $20

Ended up with $94.50 after the 40% and PUR, and the extra $10 was added. I was not expecting that at all.

:360: Bioshock 2 - $1.50
:360: Singularity - $7
:360: Star Wars Force Unleashed II - $7
:ps3: Red Dead Redemption - $10
:ps3: WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2011 - $15
:ps3: Assassins Creed Brotherhood - $9
:ps3: Gran Turismo 5 - $22
:ps3: Playstation Move Heroes - $14
 
Did pretty well today. Bought the following from Blockbuster for 2 for $9.99:

All for Wii:

Jeopardy (9.94)
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 (12.14)
Rayman Raving Rabids 2 (11.04)
Bully (11.04)
Boom Blox (9.92)
Spider-Man Web of Shadows (11.02)

The prices I listed are after the bonus $10 for 3 and Power Up. Doesnt say the TIV on receipt, sorry

And with that I bought used copies of:

L.A. Noir (360) (They gave me the Preorder content with it too! :) )
Power Gig (I know it sucks, but its not bad for achievements)

and a 4.99 pair of headphones.

Paid like .23 on top of the trade ins. Not too shabby. :)
 
[quote name='Tsel']Just came back from trading in a few games. Very YMMV, but the Gamestop I went to stacked the 3 for $10 with the 40%. [/QUOTE]

Did some perceptive employee do that automatically, or did you ask them if they could?
