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.

[quote name='usagi']Yes it does work, I traded in a bunch of games, bought Link's Crossbow training for Wii, and traded in a Ipad 2 $240 base to $360 after bonus. Keep in mind that you do not get the 10% extra for being a powerup rewards member for tablets and phones.[/QUOTE]

How did you get $360 for an ipad 2?!? I have the 64 GB AT&T and its only worth max $199 (before 50% bonus) being in like new condition...

Are the values on their site not accurate?!

P.S. does anyone know the base value of Assassins Creed Liberation?!?
 
^I have been using this link lately to check the high trade-in value games. It seems to update daily, but make sure you read the foot notes on how they calculate the values. They throw $3.34 extra credit on the values because of the trade 3 games get $10 extra promo is running.

The value showing for a like new 16gb Ipad 2 wifi was $240 trade-in credit and that was exactly what I got in-store base. Then throw on the 50% bonus and I got $359(rep forgot to check the box for packaging, cables, power adapter) - $1 refurb fee. For a Ipad 2 ATT 64gb I see $307.75 base, so $461.625 after the 50% bonus.

Yeah I was thinking the same. I like Gears in general but I am really pulling for Infinite to do well.

Crazy that Bioshock released before (3 months) Gears 1 and we got 3 more Gear games before Infinite. Yeah we got Bioshock 2 but this is the Levine sequel.

:360:
Kinect Sports - $6
Kinect Sports Season 2 - $17
X-COM Enemy Unknown - $20

Unlike most people here, I did my Kinect Sports trades the "other" way. That is, I had bought the Ultimate Collection back in December from the Microsoft Store for $15 since that seemed like a great price at the time. But I already owned the individual Kinect Sports and Season 2 games. It was my intention to sell or trade those and just keep the double-disc set for myself. But I never got around to it till now.

I had also intended to keep all those 3DS games but Gamestop just offered too much money for me to justify putting them in a pile and having them be way down the backlog.

As for X-COM, I beat that and was planning to do a few more playthroughs but I just picked up the PS3 version for $15 from Best Buy recently. Since GS was giving more for the 360 one I figured why not dump that - I'll just play it on PS3 if I go back to it.

All in all, it was a pretty decent haul of $130.31 after promo (and minus a 99 cent game).

I may try to trade my daughter's iPhone 4 for $260 tomorrow. But I'd have to get her a new one and transfer everything first.

On the other hand, though, Bioshock seems to have a higher average sale price on eBay.

Gears Judgment getting 43.20 after 60% bonus is really nice - that's as much as a new release was fetching at Best Buy last year.

True. Then again, there's probably something at a decent price to pick up that saves you from having to spend $1 on Kinect Adventures or whatnot.
 
Trade In Quotes 3/29

:360: Amazing Spiderman $17

:ps3: Transformers: Fall of Cybertron $15

Tried to trade these three in and then use my buy 2 get 1 free coupon for renewing Power Up Rewards, but was debunked by the computer regarding the 50% promo. I asked the clerk to void the transaction & then proceeded to find my new friend 'Link's Crossbow Training'. After the transaction was finished & the credit was placed on my account, I proceeded to pick up :ps3: Bioshock Infinite, :360: Gears of War Judgement & Zombi U.

I just might flip Gears tomorrow as my friend was going on how crappy the versus multiplayer is....

When you do a transaction at GS, they see your most recent purchases, but I don't think they see your trades. I've often been told "oh, you just bought this game, and you're buying it again?", but never "it shows here you already traded 3 of these!"

Please let us know if the value holds.
 
So i traded my kinect sports games yesterday and bought link crossbow as my preowned to get the 50% bump. When i got home i noticed that preownwd game still had a nintendo code on it and im just like "hmm.." Tried redeeming the code at club nintendo and earned 20 coins! Double score! Hehe! Anyway thanks for the info guys! And hope to see the tivs if they hold
 
Ok, so "Get 50% extra in-store credit for every game, smart phone and tablet you trade toward the purchase of pre-owned product."

I have an Ipad 3rd gen, 32 gig wifi, I trade this in and get $325, plus 50% which makes it $487 when buying a used 3ds XL that my wife wants back again. And, if I trade in my xbox that I dont use, 30% bonus, will give me $130. Which will net me a total of in store credit of $617 minus whatever I purchase? Did I win at math this time?

One extra question, I dont have an Xbox black controller, I have a gears of war painted controller I got from a friend. How much is the hit for trading in an Xbox 360 without a controller?

Can't believe Zelda held. Looks like I'll be picking up that Wii U/3DS Monster Hunter bundle deal later today :D
 
Is there anyway for me flip my trade ins for a preorder while still getting the extra percentage? I want to get my preorder on defiance taken care of but if i can get it taken care of without spending any cash that would be great.

The 50% bonus is activated when you buy a used game. Any used game, even a .49 one like Link's crossbow training.
 
So if my total amount from trade ins is over the price of the pre owned game then I can just use the extra money on whatever?
