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.

Kirby Squeak Mass DS 5.00[/QUOTE]

Is this Kirby Squeak Squad or Kirby Mass Attack? Or did you somehow combine the two into one trade-in? ;) If that is Kirby Mass Attack I have an extra that I picked up cheap and would definitely dump it for that price.

(They are both $5 in the OP but I wonder of any of that is due to confusion between the two...)

It is certainly still going on because I got an email today about my June points summary from PUR and it was advertised in the email. It never said when it was going to end but "limited time". Straight from the email: "For a limited time only, anyone who goes Pro gets a coupon good for 50% extra in-store credit and a Buy 2 Get 1 Free coupon. Whether you’re just joining the program, renewing your membership or upgrading to Pro, these are two Pro benefits you don’t want to miss. Hurry, offer ends soon!" So I would renew ASAP because who knows.

8GB Memory Card - $8 (5/27/13) [/QUOTE]

I recently picked up a 16GB from Target (price matching the Best Buy $29.99 price). Just the other day I sold my 8GB for $20 shipped on eBay and it sold within minutes of listing it. So just keep that in mind vs. GS trade-in.

if you got a game save on the 8gb card load up the vita game (its cart based) remove the memory card pop in the new memory card would that save to the 16gb card..

got an MLB show 13 season i dont feel like playing 340 games again to get where im at LOL

or... just us PS+ to back up and restore saves - so much easier ;).

SO I have a stack of about 10 games to bring in probably tomorrow. It is all old stuff from my collection that I pulled out of drawers or off shelves. I know a few qualify but there are some wildcards where the OP prices are from 1-3 years ago (and in a few cases not there at all). But I figure if the used price at GS is still $14.99 and up, there's a decent chance I'll get at least $3 base.

Of course you have to be very careful and check eBay/Amazon prices. For example, who knew Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs for Xbox 360 would be so valuable? If you have a sealed one you can get $50+ on eBay (and the lowest on Amazon is $70). But even used copies are going to get well beyond what GS would give with any promo.

Check GS's used prices as well. Sometimes that is a good indicator itself whether you will get something for it or not based on that too. Good luck to you tomorrow and I hope they extend it so I can take advantage of this promo one more time. :)

Recently?

Did you get the 32gb cards scanned? A number of people in the Target Clearance Thread got the 32gb card for $29.98. I like how Target, sometimes, doesn't mark clearance prices and/or leave them in the glass case, etc.
 
Does the extra 50% trade in credit Powerup Rewards coupon have a limit on how much credit you can get from using it? If not, I'd almost be tempted to find a secondhand iPhone for cheap and flip it.
 
:360: Syndicate $5 (only one I just broke even)
:360: Assassins Creed $4 (payed $5)
:360: Dead Space 2 $5 (payed $5)
:360: Star Wars FU2 $5 (payed $5)
:360: Testament of Sherlock Holmes $5 (payed $5)
:3DS: RE Revelations $5 (payed $5 for brand new)
:VITA: Luminees $6 (payed $3 for brand new)


I did play them all. Got to say I hated Sherlock Holmes and FU2 so much. Glad their gone. Wish I had another 7th so I could of kept luminees though.

A few weeks ago. I just showed them the Best Buy price on my phone and they did it. Looks like it has been pulled from Best Buy's web site now though as I can't even find the 16GB any more. I must have done it right before they pulled it.

No store near me has had 32GB cards in months, though. And Target always prices their clearance stuff ASAP now. It has been years since I've been able to get "unmarked" clearance deals. They used to be that way all the time in the PS2/GC days but not in the last 5-6 years. Depends on the store I guess but I always see stuff marked right whenever I travel too.

Aww.. Well, at least you got a deal.:)

I didn't start game deal hunting till 2011.:whistle2:# Lol.

PS3

Also my store didn't have the PS Plus + $10 credit promo, they said to call them tomorrow when the manager was in...
 
Did two transactions today, one with the trade 7 get extra $35 credit, and the other using the 50% bonus trade in coupon.

6/1/13 Base Values
Vita
Blazblue Continuum Shift Extend - $5
3DS
Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon - $15

Zelda: Skyward Sword - $18

After bonuses I ended up getting $128.50 on this first transaction.

Next transaction:

Pokemon Black Version - $10
9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors - $7
3DS
Resident Evil Revelations - $5

PSP 4GB Memory Stick - $10
Wii Component Cable - $4.24

PS3 40GB system - $100
3DS system - $75

After the 50% bonus on these things, (and a $40 refurb fee), I ended up getting $316.87. So I got the Slim PS3 bundle that had Uncharted 3. Also paid off The Last of Us, and got another Kindle card. Now I have a lot more space in my room. :) The only thing I thought was a bit strange was that my PS3 I traded in showed up as a 40GB when it was actually an 80GB. Whatever, close enough.

I don't believe the 50% trade-in coupon has a limit. My trade with the coupon ended up something like $700. I'm not sure exactly what's the limit for trades are in general, but I know $1000 is the max you can put on a trade-in credit or power up card(s). Also don't believe what trade page says to be 100%, my friend used my account to get 40% extra on Samsung Nexus Galaxy reported as around $69 on the website; after the trade my friend ended up with around $169, which was completely unexpected.

I am trying to figure out why you did your splits this way? You trade $20 games on the 7 for $35 instead of using the 50%. 50% on $20 is $10. At min you should have gotten $11.50 more. I guess not a huge deal but it was perplexing to me.

Yep. Those DS/3DS games should have went to the 7/$35. Injustice, Zelda and Luigi on the 50%.
 
[quote name='jonnysniper']Just to make sure you got $110 for the PS3? I have a 40 gb that has YLOD I'd like to trade in[/QUOTE]

this is why they are doing refurb fees on everything people bringing in busted junk they know is busted and trying to pass them as working
 
[quote name='Scholarly_Sam']Tried to trade in some games that were sealed yesterday and they wouldn't take them even if I opened them, sounded kind of odd to me... I just wanted to know the trade in values.[/QUOTE]

Yeah gs employee's don't want to get in trouble with that since it could be stolen. Shouldve opened it b4 u came in or if you wanted to know the values you shouldve called. Or showed a reciept ready.

has anyone ever bought a new accessory that seemed to have been used or a return?[/QUOTE]

Hasn't happened to me, but my local store has had some opened controllers or headsets out occasionally that they said people brought back the same day not wanting or saying they were broken but the manager couldn't figure out why it was broken. Usually they mark them down 10% though, but I imagine that's a store by store thing.
 
[quote name='krashhole']So $95 for a slim 4gb 360? And where is this 50% coupon?[/QUOTE]

Yes (traded in mine on Friday), you have to renew your $15 to get it which usually is 2 days.

That's just the 4GB console & wires right? No controller

You need a controller when trading in a console. Need the console, the controller, power brick, and AV cables.
 
So I renewed my PUR yesterday, my B2G1 coupon showed up last night, but is nowhere to be found now. Now I'm wondering if the 50% will do the same, or even show up.

[quote name='dsman3717']Did two transactions today, one with the trade 7 get extra $35 credit, and the other using the 50% bonus trade in coupon.

6/1/13 Base Values
Vita
Blazblue Continuum Shift Extend - $5
3DS
Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon - $15
Wii U
Injustice Gods Among Us - $20
Wii
Zelda: Skyward Sword - $18
PS3
Record of Agarest War Zero - $5
Hyperdimension Neptunia - $12
Xbox 360
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 - $10

After bonuses I ended up getting $128.50 on this first transaction.

Next transaction:
DS
Pokemon Black Version - $10
9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors - $7
3DS
Resident Evil Revelations - $5

PSP 4GB Memory Stick - $10
Wii Component Cable - $4.24

PS3 40GB system - $100
3DS system - $75

After the 50% bonus on these things, (and a $40 refurb fee), I ended up getting $316.87. So I got the Slim PS3 bundle that had Uncharted 3. Also paid off The Last of Us, and got another Kindle card. Now I have a lot more space in my room. :) The only thing I thought was a bit strange was that my PS3 I traded in showed up as a 40GB when it was actually an 80GB. Whatever, close enough.[/QUOTE]

Also you lost about $20 or so on the system as they sell the 40GB system for $20 less than the 80 GB one so I'm sure there's at least a $10 in TIV.

Once the stores all get the new pads, this won't be as much of an issue as everything except promos is listed on there for you to see.

If it is, it's supposed to either have a red sticker, or be in a bag with a red topper saying opened 10% off.

Can someone tell me if you can do the tiered trade more than once in a single transaction? Like if I traded in 14 eligible games would I get two $35 bonuses?

Do yourself a favor and do 2 separate transactions.
