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.

That's so stupid by that store because it caused you to not trade there and the No. 1 thing stores (overall) are rated on currently is trades, more so than PUR and preorders.

My GS will take in disc-only copies all the time. They don't like it because the games have to be looked up manually, but if they defect something, it's scratched or cracked.

Just to make sure, for trading in a black slim 360, can I trade in a white wireless controller. I don't see why not.

Also about someone asking about the A/V cables, I was told that it has to be the original style cables, either composite or component. They said that I could buy the universal cables they sell and trade those in, but luckily I found my cables. Not sure what others have been doing, just what they told me.

What those universal cables they sell aren't official,what a crock of shit you have to buy thier cables to trade.

I bought official cables for $5 off of CL yesterday since I couldn't find mine. I may have sold them myself at some point. GS also sells them for $8, but everytime I put an in store hold for them I get denied.

With the talk of GS policies on trading in multiple copies of a game, I'm curious if you can trade in multiple versions of a system in.

Say my friend wanted to trade in his 360 too, could I trade in my slim 250gb and trade in his 4gb slim at the same time so he can get the 50% bonus. I'd just let him buy whatever he wants with his share of the trade in.
Click to expand...
i wouldnt think it would be a problem, but i wouldnt go in there with your friend, trade them in alone and then come back later and let him pick out whatever he wants. they may get suspicious 8-[

 
I already had to buy a new power adapter,anyone else have them tell you ,you need official av cables for trading a slim?

Shouldn't need them. The GS brand universal AV cables will work.

I don't think this was answered yet, but is it ok to trade in a white controller with a black slim 360 or do they have to have the original controller?

 
Can I use the Power Up Reward $25 off any one GameStop item on a gift card? Specifically an Amazon Kindle one? I assume I can but the bit that reads, Not Valid towards DLC, is making me question it.

It depends on how big of a pita your clerk is, but as a general rule a different colored controller is absolutely fine as long as it is first-party. Be sure you have the battery cover back and not the play and charge kit attached.

After finishing State of Decay, there wasn't any console exclusives that convinced me to keep my 360. That and I wanted to get the most value before it inevitably plummets.
 
Man, it is getting harder and harder to scrounge up 7 games.  But then this is the 4th or 5th time I've done it so that makes sense ;).

I've had some stacks of clearance and other games that are just fitting the edge of this promo. The local store just shakes their head when they see me coming, but they also don't check the disc quality either when I bring them in. They just open the case to make sure the disc is in there and moves on. I've ran my local store out of amazon cards twice now.

I went in one GS today about 20 minutes before closing and they had so many console trade-ins they were turning people away.
 
Updated lists. Also, I've completely given up keeping track of all the new changes since the CAG 3.0 cutover so when they bring the TIVs over they will be at whatever they were on 2.0. Since as far as I know the TIVs would still be based on the day they were entered it wasn't going to do much good on the older quotes anyway.

Shipping brings it right back to around 36.40. There is no lost here. Plus already have that credit in amazon credit as we speak using that and previous amounts on my gamestop card.

finally broke and pawned off some of your collection eh?
Click to expand...
Oh, I've been doing that for a while now (I mean a few weeks). And some stuff that was either too high or too low for GS I am selling on eBay. It isn't so much for the money (though doing this does make getting both new systems easier) as for the space/clutter. And to make me feel better about my backlog. Don't get me wrong - I still have 100's of games I've never played. But getting rid of 40 or 50 of them is nice.

Although I am having to resort to tossing in a few clearance games (from Target) to make this latest batch of 7. I didn't really intend to do that but if they help me get more for the other games I have to do it. Also about half of this last batch is duplicates I wasn't aware I had (one PS3 and one 360 copy).

I jumped on the 360 a year ago, played all the exclusives, and traded it in for more than I bought it. Seems like this is the best time to get the most value for it.

Don't get me wrong - I still have 100's of games I've never played. But getting rid of 40 or 50 of them is nice.

Although I am having to resort to tossing in a few clearance games (from Target) to make this latest batch of 7. I didn't really intend to do that but if they help me get more for the other games I have to do it. Also about half of this last batch is duplicates I wasn't aware I had (one PS3 and one 360 copy).

yes it feels good to have taken five hauls of 7 into gamestop. flip to amazon credit and ill have a "free" xbox one. yay. yes the xbox one is supposedly evil but i had far more fun with xbox than i did playstation. that and until a third party makes an xbox style controller for playstation the dualshock cramps my hand like no other.

you really are right though. i cant believe how many duplicates i traded in(seriously wtf did this site do to me with buying duplicates lol). and how much crap i will literally never touch(well not that all the games were bad mind you). feels good to clear up some of it and makes that xbox one freeish feel pretty good. i just hope it doesnt end up like the wii u....dust collector although i really need to put monster hunter into the wii u some century or another.

so you are getting both systems at launch? why lol thats too much for me. though i say that now but i know i lack self control especially with one freeish console.
