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.

Not sure if it is the same as with the iPhone but on the quote page there was a check box for "cable or original packing", etc. The difference was only $1. So you pretty much just need the phone itself.

Alright thanks. I pretty much have everything that goes with the phone.
 
[quote name='captaintek3304']Can someone help me check my math? Assuming OP values hold, of course.

Planning to trade:
PS3 ACIII - $14.00
Vita P4G - $11.00

$25.00 (Base) + $2.50 (PUR) + $12.50 (50%) = $40.00

Planning to buy, PS3 Metal Gear Rising, $54.99.

$54.99 - $5.499 (PUR) - $10.998 (20% BDay) + $3.44 (6.25 MA Sales Tax) = $41.93.

Did I do that right? I'm always confused as to whether the BDay coup and PUR come off the base price, or not. Also, I assume the sales tax is calculated on the base price, but again not sure.[/QUOTE]

The way gamestop does it is by taking the 20% off first and then the PUR.

$54.99 *.8= $43.99
$43.99 *.9= $39.59
$39.59 *1.0625= $42.07

This is how it should be when you get the game.
$54.99 - $11 (20% BDay) - $4.40 (PUR) + $2.47 (6.25 MA Sales Tax) = $42.06

When I round the numbers in the second way I did it came out to one cent off.

I think I either got flagged or banned doing my 3 gamestop tour today. The employee I guess saw I had traded in Zelda and FE multiple times already even though I didn't do it at that store today. GG, how would I know if I was banned? Just try and trade again? Or call them?

What Fire Emblem is this ? Awakening or Shadow Dragon? Anyone's help is appreciated! I have both and pretty much am tired of them so why not dump them for my Last of Us preorder.
 
you couldn't be any more cryptic. if you want our advice or help you'll need to provide a lot more details as to what happened. so far, all i can surmise is that you were not able to trade in those titles at the store because either the employee said something or something else happened at the register.
 
I'm sorry I'll start over. I had a copy of FE originally. Yesterday I traded it in at GS1 and bought Zelda. Traded in Zelda at GS2 and bought Zelda at GS3. Today, I bought FE at GS1, traded Zelda and FE at GS2 and the employee said you already bought this today and you're trading it in? I said I didn't like it and then he looked at his screen (I'm guessing he saw all the trades from the previous day) and gave me my receipt. I asked if I could just look around and he said "Do whatever you want man." Then, as I was walking out he was repeating my name out loud under his breath and furiously typing.
 
^ people that abuse trade ins that much deserve to be banned. No offense. Trading in 1 or 2 copies seems normal. But buying and trading in the same game to the same store more than 3-4 times? Seriously?

Yup,
Zelda is still at $25, and the Kinect Sports Games are still the same value as well.
Kinect Sports $6
Kinect Sports Season 2 $ 17
Went straight to Best Buy this morning to pick them up, then over to GS. Would've bought another copy of Kinect Sports to keep, but the price is back to 39.99.

I also traded in a copy of Amazing Spiderman (360) for $17 towards a used Wii U copy. So with bonuses it was $27.20 and the Wii U copy was $31.49.
Meh, only $4 to upgrade, and I really wanted another Wii U game, plus, I had to buy SOMETHING that was pre-owned.
 
[quote name='sarevok115']He was muttering my name under his breath and making a dramatic entry of my name into the system it sounded like.[/QUOTE]

The register automatically brings up your last 5 purchases whenever your card is scanned. So if you ever trade in a game that you recently purchased, it looks weird to the employee because you can always just return the game instead of trading it in. It seems like he took your trades in anyway. You're on his suspicious list which could lead to a ban. It just depends on him. You know you're banned if you attempt a trade in and the register informs the employee that your trade in can't be accepted. Ban notices will automatically occur at the register regardless of the store or employee. However, it's the employees that are the ones that usually initiate it. If the employee took in your games (you mentioned getting your receipt at GS2), you're fine - for now. I would not call. I would advise to be more discreet from now on.
 
[quote name='Donut2922']The register automatically brings up your last 5 purchases whenever your card is scanned.[/QUOTE]

Are you sure about that? I think they may be able to see more than that. I had an employee comment on how I bought a couple copies of a game a month ago - but I had purchased 4 or 5 games in between. Of course those 4-5 games were purchased the same day as the clerk made the comment, so perhaps the system hadn't updated it on his end?
 
It'll show your last 5 purchase transactions not just strictly games. For example, I bought a Burger King gift card one day. On a separate occasion, I bought 3 games but all in the same transaction. In the purchase history, those purchases would show up as 2 transactions and not 4. The register should show the previous 3 transactions before those. I'm pretty sure time doesn't matter. The function is there to help employees better understand your buying interests so they can tailor their preorder recommendations. I haven't checked my sources in awhile but I'm fairly certain that's how it works.

I was going to mention that, but I figured you already knew. Just use your Gamestop credit to buy Amazon Gift Cards. You can buy $50 worth with your credit and have an extra $10 left over in Amazon money or buy $25 worth and then pay the rest with your money on Amazon.

[quote name='sarevok115']I'm sorry I'll start over. I had a copy of FE originally. Yesterday I traded it in at GS1 and bought Zelda. Traded in Zelda at GS2 and bought Zelda at GS3. Today, I bought FE at GS1, traded Zelda and FE at GS2 and the employee said you already bought this today and you're trading it in? I said I didn't like it and then he looked at his screen (I'm guessing he saw all the trades from the previous day) and gave me my receipt. I asked if I could just look around and he said "Do whatever you want man." Then, as I was walking out he was repeating my name out loud under his breath and furiously typing.[/QUOTE]

Sounds like a district ban could be in your future.
