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.

Power Up Rewards Change:
[quote name='Anonymous GameStop Employee']In 4 markets from April 30-June 9 there's going to be a change to Powerup Pro subscriptions/renewals. I believe it's the 4 markets that first beta tested PUR, but not sure on that. I know my market (STL) beta tested PUR and now this.

The base price of PUR Pro is staying at $14.99 but that is only for a digital subscription to the magazine. If you want the physical magazine, it will come with the digital sub, but at a price of $19.99. This affects all new subs/renewals in the 4 markets for the above period, with a likely national rollout later this year.

No matter how much you complain in the four markets this is happening in, store managers, area managers, district managers, whatever, will be unable to get you a print subscription for $14.99.

If you're wanting print, I would suggest renewing your PUR Pro this weekend before this kicks in.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='Anonymous GameStop Employee #1']Can you just let the group know the next trade value is

Trade 3 get 10, trade 5 get 20, trade 7 get 35 games must be a minimum of 3.00 to qualify.
[/QUOTE]

[quote name='Anonymous GameStop Employee #2']So GS stores should soon be receiving physical Amazon gift cards to put into their gift cards racks to be sold. They are labeled as Kindle cards but we all know how that works. Seems to be a chain-wide thing as my store is the home store of an area manager (step below district manager) and we had a long conversation about this today so it's not meant as some type of backup to a promo like the digital codes were.

On a note if you want to know more about the GS clientele, we have also gotten Shell gas cards in the same shipment. Since all Circle K stations are Shell stations, we are now able to stop having as many cash trades and get people to go credit to get the gas cards (I did it twice yesterday although I had to sell them a copy of MLB 2K8 to get them over $25 on one of the transactions.)

Our store is so physically small these are the first non console/Steam/WoW/SWTOR we've gotten, no YUM cards or anything like that for us until this week. At our store, I estimate about 2/3 of our cash trades are for gas, the other 1/3 have to assume are for drugs. So hopefully we don't have to give out as much cash now.[/QUOTE]

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 ,,,,,,

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.

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, 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.

It should be in Gamestop's policy that they should be honoring labeled pricing if it comes up lower than what the computer says. It's how I scored Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon for $19.99 rather than $24.99 a few months back. I never had a case where they refused to give me the lower price.[/QUOTE]
It's actually the law in some states. Saw some girl get fired over it at JoAnn Fabrics. Her not taking down the previous week's sales signs cost the store over $200 in one transaction.
 
Well, these gamestop stores are localized in Puerto Rico. Went to two different ones, and these insane TIVs were the result. I'm going to three different gamestops later today to check (in the same mall, no less). My bad, but I shared the belief all gamestops adhered to the same system, so others could benefit also.

Man, you should have said you were in PR from the jump. We all know things are different there.
 
[quote name='The Holy Pretzle']I think the fine print says something like "subject to change at any time".

Also, I looked at the page just now, they seem to have removed the part where they said "Up To", and in the fine print explained that they applied $3.34 to the value to account for the 3/$10 promotion, so subtract the $3.34 from the value they provide and you get the actual trade-in amount.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I always account for the extra $3.34 and subtract that. Mario Party should be $17 still, guess it'll probably update tomorrow with the new base of $13.

I'm sure some Best Buys lot way over $200 in potential revenue after the President's Day sale from failure to take down signs.... XD
 
Its the first time I've seen anything like this happen. Usually, we get the shaft in terms of deals/sales. I mean, BB.com doesn't ship to us(they have stores here) and our BBs don't price match/take in used games. I always saw gamestop like being constant with their pricing/deals and we don't get a pass in prices either. So I think I'm just a luck sob at this point.
 
Phone quotes (4/2):

Mario Party - $13
Pokemon Diamond - $13
Pokemon Soul Silver - $20
Pokemon White Version 2 - $15
Super Princess Peach - $15

Interestingly enough an employee tried this biz on me today. Saying I get $80 if I pre-order a game, I took the pre-order on Animal Crossing because I had another stop anyway. Canceled the Animal Crossing pre-order and got $5 at another GS. lol I'm guessing they're being told to do this? Shady business, I'm thinking about calling them out on it next time.

Well I thought I was going to meet the ban hammer today. I am normally pretty good at keeping a low profile and most of the GS employees around me are pretty laid back. Stopped today to use the 20% coupon to get a Crysis 3 to move a little credit over to BBY. Guy working was pretty gung-ho and when he brought up my Powerup rewards he was like "whoa 2nd highest total I have seen" and then he says you must be reselling games which is smart if you can do it. I was not sure what to say but then he shows me my total and the last 5 transactions which I kind of brush off. Now I am thinking this guy is not happy with me but then we spend the next 10 minutes talking about the GameStops in the area and where the little bit scary ones are at. He tells me a story about working at a GS where a guy was shot next door at the Papa Johns during a midnight launch. Anyway he ends the conversation by saying to send my business to his store since he is the new manager. Hopefully he is as cool as he seemed or else I won't be surprised if I get the ban here soon.

i have a question regarding getting banned from gamestop, can they freeze your store credit? or just not let you trade in/ do business with you.

I assume you are just not allowed to trade anymore. I find it hard to believe they can deny your credit for purchases.

Now I am thinking this guy is not happy with me but then we spend the next 10 minutes talking about the GameStops in the area and where the little bit scary ones are at. He tells me a story about working at a GS where a guy was shot next door at the Papa Johns during a midnight launch. Anyway he ends the conversation by saying to send my business to his store since he is the new manager. Hopefully he is as cool as he seemed or else I won't be surprised if I get the ban here soon.[/QUOTE]
Ha. At one Gamestop I went to, the dude started asking me about a game that I traded in. I was like "huh?" I had to pretend like I knew something about the game. Then he totally called me out on the fact that I bought Kinect Adventures. "You're trading things in and happened to buy the $1 game?" Then he calls the manager over and he's like "you know why he's trading all these in? 50% trade in bonus." I thought I was in deep shit. Then he said "that's okay we don't judge here." Haha cool dude though. We talked about all sorts of games and whatnot. Oh also, DO NOT buy 20 Amazon e-gift cards in one transaction. The printer will screw up and the manager will be on the phone with corporate for an hour. Man that was stressful lol.

I'll scan through the values everyone posted today and post the ones that I don't see.

Lol. I thought I was pushing it doing 8 in one. My receipt was 6 feet long. I think trying to do $500 at a time is bound to set off someone's alarm.

Lol. You should see my receipt. The manager struggled so hard to keep going through it because we found out that some of my codes didn't print correctly.
Yeah I'm worried about setting off alarms, but I told them that I was building credit towards PS4/720 and then said well I figured I might as well get a laptop on Amazon now instead of wait for the next console to come out lol.

[quote name='strait edge follower']an employee tried to pull a fast one on me. he claimed he could stack the 30% promo with the 50% promo (utter bull). he showed me what i would get after both stacked and it was 43$. two saints row the thirds with both promos would get much more than that lmao. all i saw was the 5$ pre order taken off the 48$, nice try gamestop employee but you arent gonna get a cheap pre order out of me[/QUOTE]

The new pin pads will stop that as each item being "sold" is in MUCH larger print than before.
