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.

wait the baller beatz software is 5$ base value ? !!! i just need a new ball so buying one from bestbuy is even better now cause you can recoup a big chunk of that 10$ after bonuses.

as for dbz im not surprised as that legendary batman flip from last march held for over a month lmao
 
[quote name='roundhouse']I can't believe they haven't lowered Dragonball Z yet. They must have received a massive amount of traded in copies in the past couple of weeks.[/QUOTE]

Values don't seem to tank at GS because of a couple flippers. I follow this thread last year during the BBY batman deal and this year's Epic Flippy and those kept on holding.
 
Anyone want to help me out. I went today to gamestop and some new employee was there and I think he kept screwing up my trade. The base values were as followed:

Darksiders 2 360 and Ps3 - $14 and $15
Xcom Ps3- $16
Homefront 360 - $1.50
Black ops 2 360 - $23

He totaled my trade and it came to $81. I was using a 50% extra trade in coupon towards Gears of War Judgement. So if my math was correct (which Im pretty sure it is) should it not be around $110? I think what was happening was the 3 for an extra $10 somehow jumped in and the extra 50% only applied to the other two which was Homefront and one of the Darksiders. He kept telling me the computer always automatically gives you the best trade deal. But I know from experience this is not the case.
 
[quote name='panda911']Because it only trades in for 8. There's trades with more meat on the bone.[/QUOTE]

$11.33 if you have two other games to trade in with it :D

See this post where someone mentioned the GOW:J coupon wasn't working and would not work until after midnight tonight. This may be the case with your trade.

Well that totals $69.50, so 50% on top of that would be about $105. It'd be around $110 if you add in the 10% for being a Power Up Member, so yeah... definitely not $81.
 
Thanks to those that responded! I guess I was not the only one with this problem. I will go ahead and do the trade again tomorrow and pick up the game as well. Does anyone know if I would still get the "preorder" stuff for judgement? Hopefully the manager is there since he always knows how to do everything unlike the regular employees which usually screw something up.

Edit: And yea I do have the Powerup Pro membership for the extra 10%.

Like others have mentioned the system didnt pick up the coupon but the employee was nice enough to manually adjust the trade in values
 
Tried using the coupon for Gears and like others, it did not work. I should have double checked it before but didn't (since normally it runs smoothly).

Sad thing is the normal 30% pre-order bonus didn't work either so I ended up with the 3/$10 promo..

Now I have to call GS CS tomorrow and hopefully they can figure out something to get this figured out.. the manager was really cool about helping me out it was just too close to closing to get any progress.

If the games were under a certain amount it's going to automatically give you the better promo which is the 3 for $10. I think all of your games would need to be above $11 or so for the 30% promo to be better. It's been somewhere around that mark in the past when promos like this overlap.

Yeah if the average per game trade in is above $11.11 then the 30% gives more credit. This also assumes you are trading in multiples of 3.

Does anyone know if Gamestop takes the Xbox 360 Audio Adapters for trade in? This is the adapter for the bigger size systems that lets you plug in an optical cable or RCA audio cables while an HDMI cable is plugged in at the same time. I would call, but it is too late now. I will call tomorrow though, but if anyone already knows, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

For those of you who are flipping Saints Row The Third, you might wanna keep the online pass. The code also entitles you to a digital copy of Saints Row 2.
 
Hey guys, if I preorder a game for the 30% bonus and then cancel the preorder a few days later, do I get to keep the 30% bonus on the gift card?

Yes.
 
[quote name='The Ebbtide']I'll ask them about it when I go to pick it up on Tuesday and report back. Thanks for the help.

I had just assumed it only applied when you actually did the initial pre-order, and assumed that's why I only get the 10% bonus. But this text message is making me question that.[/QUOTE]
So I went today and told them about how I traded a game in on Friday and didn't get the 30% extra credit. They looked at my receipt and were surprised, saying the computer should've caught that. Instead of giving me $3 credit, they just took $3 off of my Gears of War: Judgment purchase.

If anyone had an experience like me, you're supposed to get the 30% bonus for trade-in games that contribute to the pre-order that has the offer.

I hate to ask this, but could this maybe be added to the first post, or one of the initial posts, since I wasn't aware of this.

Man I love pissed off GS employees. Was told while trading today at some point I got flagged for buying new games and keeping bonuses. Literally happened once with Ni No Kuni, 99% sure it was the same guy who refunded me with all 1 dollar bills

Does GS even ban? I'm moving to a new state in 3 weeks anyway lol

Simply returned Ni No Kuni the day after launch. Guy was saying how I was always returning stuff only at his store (Only been to his store TWICE in a year), and how I had to return the Steelbook as well (Which I just told him my store was out of, and he even attempted to call them)

I just looked back at all my purchases, I have had 3 returns since the start of the year, and 2 of them were used games. No idea how the hell 1 return warrants a flag/note on my name

Sounds like the store in my town lol. I try to avoid them but I like to pre-order there to get 30% bonus then cancel, lol.

My guess, he was upset by all the people selling the preorder bonus on Ebay for $40+

He needs a new job if he's insulted by people getting ripped off; he works for a company that encourages suckering people.
 
Yeah, the guy acted like I had just spit in his coffee or something. Can't wait to get away from these Gamestop's, last one I went to raffled away my pre-order bonuses at the midnight release then got pissed when I left him a bad review.
