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.

Here's a question.  From the OP, following is required for a console trade-in:

Xbox 360: Console Unit, power brick, A/V Cables, Controller (wired/wireless)

In the latest values listed for an Xbox 360 you have, for example, $60 for an ARCADE version.  So does this mean you get $60 total for the console, power brick, A/V Cables, and controller?  Or does each item get itemized for the trade - i.e.:

console - 60

power brick - 4

a/v cables - 2.50

controller - 15

for a total of 81.50?

$60 for all

 
Remember when I whined about a clerk not doing separate transactions yesterday? Well, today, I got clerks (at a different store) who fed me the ol' "The system will give you whatever's best" line ... only for it to give me 50% (because of the PUR Pro coupon) and not $3 on some of the $2 games I traded in. So that may be my fight for tomorrow. And I need to go back and trade in the multiples I had, because, really, why not just make it harder? Whee.

Anyway, here are a bunch of values as of 6/24.

:360:

Assassin's Creed II: $2.50

Borderlands 2: $10

Deux Ex: Human Revolution: $2

Dishonored: $12

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: $12

Fable III: $1

Far Cry 3: $10 (drop from $11)

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary: $8

LA Noire: $3

MX Vs. ATV: Alive: $11

MX Vs. ATV: Reflex: $10 (up from $5)

NBA 2K13: $15

NCAA Football 12: $2.50 (drop from $4)

Portal 2: $15

Saints Row 2: $7 (drop from $8)

Saints Row The Third: $17

Sleeping Dogs: $10 (drop from $13)

Spec Ops: The Line: $8

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13: $10

UFC Undisputed 3: $15

X-Com: Enemy Unknown: $11 (drop from $13)

Xbox 360 AC Power Adapter (i.e. not Slim): $4

Xbox 360 Component Cable: $2.75

:ps3:

Battlefield: Bad Company 2: $0.75

Bioshock 2: $1.50 (drop from $2) 

Call of Duty: Black Ops: $5

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2: $20

Dead Space: $5 (drop from $7)

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: $12

FIFA Soccer 13: $17 (drop from $21)

Grand Theft Auto IV: $6

Just Dance 3: $10

Red Dead Redemption: $5

UFC Undisputed 2010: $2

:wii:

Just Dance 3: $8

:ds:

Professor Layton and the Curious Village: $2

Rhythm Heaven: $1

Scribblenauts: $5

I'm not unhappy with the final number, but, uh, I think you can do your own math and figure out how much I missed out on with the 50% applying automatically.

So can Reps put trade-in credit split between 2 or more cards if you go over $1000? I'm sure this situation normally doesn't happen, so I guess many employees may not know how to do it.

It's almost like you have priorities greater than maintaining your CAG thread. I think you need to take a good long look at your life sir.

 
Just a heads up to people who have traded in the last week or so, others reported their points not posting on their accounts and mine from a trade-in last week wasn't either. Sent the powerup customer service an e-mail last night and got the points on my account today. My advice if your points don't show up after a week is to call or e-mail them. 

It looks like it was only a few days that transactions were effected though because trade-ins past that one have shown up just fine.

So you BELEIVED THEM? Also there is a thing called "CHECKING THE VALUES BEFORE YOU SIGN" If a game is not getting what it should be, have them re-do the transaction, always double check the values and everything. Alot of this headache can be saved by a simple "Can you go over the values I am getting?"

 
Yeah, I made the mistake of doing my 3/5/7 at a store other then my preferred one just because it was a lot closer and didn't want to go out that way.  Was not a great experience and even after the guy had scanned all nine games and I told him I was trading seven of them for sure he still didn't want to just read me the values so I could decide.  Was indecisive enough he finally caved but won't be going back to that particular store anytime soon.

I didn't say I believed them. My error had a lot more to do with trying to do something that probably required 30 minutes' work in 15 -- and on an empty stomach -- than with believing them.

Still: I would hope that GameStop would not be post-deuce toilet water every so often. It'd be nice.

Honestly I think a lot of them do believe the "computer knows best" crap so it may not have been anything intentional that they did - as others have said, you just need to be vigilant.

I've never once checked specifically for a trade-in posting to my points balance but I have noticed just when looking at my transactions in general that it is pretty random what gets picked up and what doesn't. And sometimes it seems like I get a lot of points and sometimes very few points for the same sort of trades or purchases. I figured there was never any rhyme or reason to it and it would have never occurred to me to check each one. I'm not even sure that would be possible - it would be very confusing ;).

Edit: Yeah, so it looks like of the 5 Trade 7 transactions I made, maybe 3 are on there. Meh...

Yep, agreed on that. And I wish they would get even a little training on big trades; this seems more like an endemic GameStop problem than a problem with this store/these clerks. Here's hoping my (delayed) vigilance and a little bit of cajoling work out in my favor tomorrow.

Haha yeah as far as I can tell trade-ins and used game purchases get the most points, while new game purchases get less points.

I'm not sure if there's a bonus for consoles or not but I do feel like console purchases get quite a bit of points too, but that could just be because of the price of the item.

Here's the info from the FAQ looks like consoles get the same bonus as new games but used consoles get more points. Also PUR Pro gets 10% point bonus on purchases.

  • 10 points per dollar spent on all new games and consoles
  • 20 points per dollar spent on pre-owned games, accessories and consoles
  • 20 points per dollar on traded-in games or consoles
  • Up to 500 points for activating online, completing your profile and establishing your Game Library

I was out of town for a few days that's why I couldn't do it sooner.
Also I forgot to mention on my original post that when I used the 50% coupon it wouldn't register the bonus until I signed and she hit total. Just in case anyone runs into something like that don't panic.

I traded in 1.8k earlier today and had them split up $999 onto one card and the remainder on a giftcard I bought in the same transaction.

Those are the same cards.

It's actually depends on the state you live in if you get charged sales tax or not for store/trade credit.
Click to expand...
According to many CAGs in those "no tax on trade credit" states, a real gift card will get taxed regardless.

 
Last edited by a moderator:
Store Credit tied to your Account doedsn't get taxed in certain states. Gift cards that are not bounded by accounts get taxed regardless.

Also, would they hit me with a refurb fee if I give them Gamestop brand wired 360 controller instead of 1st party with my 360?

Called multiple GameStops this morning to check the trade values on 53 PS3 games. Most of the values were way outdated, so hope this list helps the folks trying to get in on the $3 bonus deal.

Guys I have a question and hope one of you can answer me:

I want to get the special $80 edition of GTA V. I have this 15% off any new game coupon that won't expire until after the game comes out. Now if I pre-order it, and put down the $20 they need me to put down, could I:

1. Cancel the pre-order before the game comes out and get my money back

2. Cancel the pre-order after the game comes out and get my money back

3. Use the 15% coupon on a game that I pre-order? So like, would I get $12 off the game?

Zombie U $7.50

 
So I just went to GS to renew my Pro membership to get the 50% coupon and the girl working there said the promo was over and that I would not get the coupon for renewing.  She said that the renewal for the print version of Pro went back down to $14.99 and with the price drop the 50% coupon went away.  I was skeptical because I know people have been saying that it's good until the end of the month, so I went ahead and renewed anyways.

She also told me I couldnt renew this early (mine is good until November) but I knew that wasnt true so I said that I knew several others who have renewed much further in advance.  After pressing the issue she realized she could renew it and I did.  This adds to my skepticism over the 50% promo being over.

Can anyone confirm either way if it's still good or not???  Thanks.

I renewed mine on Sunday (didn't ask any questions of the GS employee during the transaction) and my 50% coupon showed up online this morning.

Technically, I "upgraded" to Pro status as I was not previously at Pro. Cost was still $14.99.

 
Anyone know if they take the tax out of the $80 or whatever the final price is?

And how does that work with pre-orders? Do they take tax on the pre-orders or do they add it up later

I renewed on Sunday when I traded in some games and I have not recieved the coupon yet. I did get the new issue of Game INformer digitally today.

Why haven't I recieved mine. Is it a separate e-mail?

They don't tax on store credit. So whatever amount of money you put down is what's taxed on. I had $418 in trade in credit and it completely paid off a PS4, but if I would have put $300 in store credit and $99 down on cash they would have taxed me on $99
