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.

Total opposite for me, amazon has no tax and gamestop does even if it is trade in credit.

Im not taxed on Amazon, but GS Credit is taxed here... If I drive 30 minutes, I can avoid tax on GS Credit. Im in that area every week anyway, so I generally just avoid purchasing anything over 20$ from my local one.

Gamestop is selling Amazon credit again?

...Uh-oh. :lol: I've got SMT IV, Beyond: Two Souls, and Tales of Xillia CE completely or nearly paid off (everything covered for the first two, $63.59 paid off for the ToX CE and I plan to use a $25 off coupon when I go pick it up) and roughly $300 in GS credit (around $220 in AMZ credit), so maybe I should play it safe and only get $50-$75 in AMZ credit... :whistle2:k

Wait. Could you use a $$ off coupon from Poweruprewards.com on an Amazon GC purchase, or is that an ineligible use of the coupon? I would imagine you can't, but I figured I'd ask anyway.

Ugh, I hate getting quotes over the phone. Asked about Pokémon Battle Revolution and Pokepark Pikachus adventure and he immediately gave me the "well, it won't be 100% accurate because of condition" and then immediately (without hesitation of looking them up) gave me a $4 quote on each. Put em in the pile to take Mon/Tues to get the real price, I guess so he can scan and then remove if they ring up $4 o_O

I was looking at the terms on the coupon and no where did it say that you can't use it towards a gift card. The only exclusion was DLC so it may be worth a shot. I know I am going to try it out if they have one for sale.

I just stopped by my gamestop to check the gift cards out. They had the shell gas cards out in $25 and $50 amounts, but no Kindle cards in sight there.
 
I've been in Gamestop about 10 times this year and everytime I was there I've asked if they were selling Kindle cards, and everytime they've told me no. Last time the guy even told me that Gamestop has never sold Kindle cards and probably never will. I told him I know for a fact other Gamestops have indeed sold them. Then he just said, Well I don't know.

I don't know if these people are clueless or just don't want to sell them or what, but either way it's getting annoying. I've had $50 credit there for growing on a year that I'd really like to turn into Amazon credit.

The GS that I went to awhile back said that corp had a memo to stop selling amazon kindle gift cards. They only had 1 card left in the display case, but kept saying it was bundled with purchase of the kindle fire.


I read this title page and notice that the op said it was coming back. Can anyone confirm this? Is this the gift card or is the # printed on the receipt?

Maybe not the right place for this question but I couldn't really find the answer anywhere...a friend of mines bday was last week and he gave me his bday coupon code to use...however he jus texted m the code...am I able to jus read the code to the gamestop employee and have them enter it? Or do they need the barcode? Also does it come up as "birthday coupon" meaning will I have to show proof of bday?

The employee can scan the barcode or manually type in the birthday coupon code. Regarding getting IDed for using coupon, I doubt it, as I never got asked that before when using it. On the employee's side I have no clue what shows on their screen when the coupon is used.

[quote name='TheCollegeGamer']That 30% extra toward the pre-order or purchase of certain games is extending, right? .[/QUOTE]

I don't believe the pre owned promo is continuing but the promo towards pre orders should be extended. I did a trade in toward one of my pre orders and the rep had to use a different binder when he confused it with the new one.
 
Eh, didn't get in before six. Hopefully it still applies to systems, if not I might just hang on to it. Or not, it's really not that huge of a difference.
 
TiVs for today 5/19/13.

Well the gamespot employee happily entered the codemanually but said there was no discount? When I was reading the code to him he said "let me kno when the dash comes up" but my code has no dash? Its just a 9 digit code with no dashes.. 3 letters then 6 numbers..any ideas?

That's half the code, you need the rest after the dash on the coupon. A full coupon code should have something like EBCXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX

Edit:
Maybe I'm wrong? I saw similar codes on my 50% trade-in, B2G1, and 15%off coupons.

I got it to work...there was nothing after a dash...turns out my friend just forgot a number in the code when he texted it to me lol.
 
[quote name='JaylisJayP']So just looking to clarify...is there a new trade-in promo that starts tomorrow?[/QUOTE]

Trade 3 for $10, 5 for $20, or 7 for $35 minimum $3 base TIV to qualify.
 
[quote name='ZombiesWorld']I've been in Gamestop about 10 times this year and everytime I was there I've asked if they were selling Kindle cards, and everytime they've told me no. Last time the guy even told me that Gamestop has never sold Kindle cards and probably never will. I told him I know for a fact other Gamestops have indeed sold them. Then he just said, Well I don't know.

I don't know if these people are clueless or just don't want to sell them or what, but either way it's getting annoying. I've had $50 credit there for growing on a year that I'd really like to turn into Amazon credit.[/QUOTE]

Before stores were given a few cards but they were only for a promotion for a new Kindle Fire purchase. Some stores mistakenly sold those cards, and because of that and in case a tablet was shipped w/o a GC, a $25 Amazon code was available to sell in the system.

CAG's started trading in like crazy for those codes, which lasted about 2 weeks before they were taken out of the system. As others have said, these cards are coming to GS. It's just a question of when each store receives them.
