NEW THREAD LOCATED HERE: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/topic/316500-gamestop-tivpromos-thread-xxi-3-extra-on-every-game-2-and-higher-when-trading-in-3-or-more-games-kindle-cards-come-back/

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

First post contains promo information & useful information and frequently asked questions. Second post has the values for games/hardware for Microsoft devices. Third post has the values for games/hardware for Nintendo consoles and the fourth post has the values for Nintendo handhelds. Fifth post has the values for games/hardware for Sony consoles and the sixth post has the values for Sony handhelds.

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.

WHEN POSTING VALUES:

Please try to follow the example below if possible. If you feel the need to use the system icons, please only use them once at and at the top of the list. Also always post the system it's for even if it's only on one system. I may not always know it.

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, 14, 15,16, 17, 18, 19, Old thread links don't work,,,,,

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 PowerUp Rewards 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
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.

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 PowerUp Rewards 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.

If I buy a used copy of a game that requires an online pass for multiplayer, will it come with an online pass?
If you purchase a used title published by either Sony or WB you get an online pass from GS on your receipt. That's also why the used copies are $55 instead of $48 when the MSRP is $60. No GS issued passes of games published by EA, THQ, etc. On those titles you're totally dependent on the previous owner not using the code.

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, 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
May or May Not Charge, Depending Upon County: Florida,

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='Hemi']ALSO hate to disagree with Enuf but I had him check, any extra game beyond that does NOT get an added $5. He entered all 8 as if it were a transaction, only a bonus $35.[/QUOTE]Don't know what to tell you then I traded in 19 games a few hours ago got $5 per game had more games but they're worth $14 or more so it's not worth it to do the 3/5/7. Girl was a rookie that did the trades tough. Did the cashier total the transaction out by having you sign and have the PUR scanned?

[quote name='monsterfracas']Do you have to have all cables to trade in a console? I have a 360 to trade, but I don't have a power brick. I'm okay with getting a refurb fee or something, if they'll actually take it.[/QUOTE]

It says all components are necessary for trade-in when I read the offers.

The fee is for non-functional items.

[quote name='Enuf']$5 is added to each game after 7[/QUOTE]

What? No. The values are for specific number groups of games.
 
[quote name='Deader2818']yeah, the promo isnt, "get an extra $5 for each game when you trade in 7 or more"[/QUOTE]checked my receipt(edit receipts) rookie rep wasn't quite a rookie at all she split the trades up correctly, after taking off the higher priced games each set still got the bonus. She just put all the receipts in the bag.

What they used to do was take your TIV and make you pay whatever the price of the item is that your missing. However, if they were out of stock, they would deny the trade.

I would double check your receipt. It works like this:

Trade say 14 games, you will get one $35 bonus for the first 7, then a 20 bonus for the second batch of 5, and then 2 just get regular 10% bump. Tried and verified twice, you have to do them in sets of 7. It is confusing when they just add the $4 for the second set but just check the receipt.

After all was credit was tallied, (Subtotal 332.00) I had enough to buy a brand new White 500GB, with a Pre-owned copy of Valkyria Chronicles, and 9$ to put towards Last of Us. Not to mention the free year of PSPlus you get for the new console purchase.

Manager was flabberghasted that I got that much credit, tried to rering it like 3 times to make sure his machine wasnt borked or something. No cash out of pocket WHATSOVER!:cool:

-Edit
Values have been added, as well as games that weren't actually traded in. Long story short - the list of items I traded it were traded to me via a Craigslist deal, my Nikkor prime lens for his PS3 stuff plus 100 dollars. I didnt edit the list from the email, I just copy/pasted without realizing the games list was actually different. Also included in the deal was a PX21 headset which I couldn't trade in. The list I had before was a direct copy and paste job, so apologies. And the proof...

I edited my post with the values. 120GB Slim got me 143. Thats with the inherent PowerUp 10%, stacked with a 30% bonus for trading towards new hardware.

Furthermore, I didnt pay any tax on the new PS3 because I used trade-in credit to make the purchase.

The kindle card thing is a riot, took 200$ out of my account to avoid crossing the 1K $ on my rewards card (traded an iphone 4 today as well), I also bought zeevex points to use for purchasing goozex trade tokens, and some steam wallet money for the impending summer sale. I wish they would hurry up and start the preorder on xbox/ps4 so I can get the money where I really want it.[/QUOTE]

what exactly happens when you go over the 1k point on ur rewards card?
 
[quote name='AJVtony831']Not bad. Might get rid of mine for that value. Thanks![/QUOTE]

Absolutely. I figured that if I wanted a PS3, I might as well get the newest model and keep it for the 5 year shelf life the PS3 still has left... Besides, the Ps3 the guy gave me worked okay, but looked like it was covered in semen and orange juice, swear to god. No way I was trying to put that thing in my AV cabinet.

Now I have the "comfort" of being the first owner. Ill still get Ps4 but its no longer anywhere near the top of my priority list.

You need to post Base TIV please.
 
[quote name='archerbro74']what exactly happens when you go over the 1k point on ur rewards card?[/QUOTE]

it'll go back to zero, lol. the cap is $999.99 and beyond that is they have to put it on a different gift card.
 
So if a ps3 120 slim gets 143 (after bonuses), 160 gb would get slightly more. I got a unit off ebay for $160 and the unit has an issue with the fan winding up really loudly which probably means a lot of dust in the system. He's been giving me a hard time so I might trade it in and buy the new slim, I'd break even or close to it I suppose.

By the way, post the base TIV and not after bonuses (nevermind DemonsMaster beat me to it lol).

I asked these questions at Gamestop and they were not sure of the answer.

Scenario one: I Pre-order Last of Us for the 30% bump. Do I have to put all the trade in on GTA V or can I get Red Dead and put the other 8 on GTA?

Scenario two: I Pre-order GTA V and Deadpool. Can I put the $5 on GTA and the rest on Deadpool?

Gamestop empolyees said they think you can put the $5 on GTA and the rest on Deadpool, but don't think you can get something else. Which doesn't seem right to me.

Sorry, I will bost the base values later today - I'm at work now (being productive as usual...) Its a PITA, the base value isnt posted, just the total value with the bonuses itemized underneath, I have to manually subtract each value to determine the base. /Facepalm
 
If you put it towards a pre-order You can get up to $182 for an Xbox360 console. I'm thinking of taking my CODMW3 Xbox console in and putting that towards some pre-orders and then just leaving the credit there then once the new consoles are pre-orderable moving the money to one of those.

Edit: cause the value of the consoles are just going to go down from this point.

[quote name='HitmanPham']The newest 360 dropped to $110 base and the newest ps3 dropped to $100 base. Not really worth trading in now.[/QUOTE]

Wow, the ps3 120 slim tiv was just $110 yesterday. That is very shitty of gamestop. Unless they are about to start a double console tiv for memorial day to go along with the 50%.
 
All values updated except 360. Working on those right now.

Now all values are up to date.

[quote name='cpkirkley']Sorry, I will bost the base values later today - I'm at work now (being productive as usual...) Its a PITA, the base value isnt posted, just the total value with the bonuses itemized underneath, I have to manually subtract each value to determine the base. /Facepalm[/QUOTE]
Are you a PUR Pro member? If so, just look at the line item under each game that gives that 10% bonus. Add a zero and move the decimal as needed.
 
I just called and the tiv for a 4 gb xbox is $70. Dropping that much in one day without lowering the price usually means a new promo coming soon, right?
 
Some values dropped, at least from what I remember. Only ended up trading in 5 more.

Base for 5/23

360
Mass Effect 3 - $4
Lego Harry Potter 1-4 - $7

PS3
Crack in Time - $3

Yeah i doubt it. Was going to get $195 for my ps3 and $150 for the vita and that didn't pan out.

It took 2 days for me. I renewed on 5/20 and the coupons were there on 5/22.
 
damn, a day late for the coupon, planning to unload my ylod ps3 and get atleast 120 after the refurb fee and coupon. Hope they'll bring back the double promo.

Need to trade an Ipad, I believe the weekend deal is only 50% on games.

Well at least you can get 40% extra for being a Powerup Pro member with their current trade promo.
