Welcome to the Official CAG Amazon.com Trade-In Thread

Hey trade-in pals! SENDING THINGS IN DISC / CARTRIDGE ONLY / GENERIC CASE NO MANUAL / ANYTHING BUT COMPLETE COULD RESULT IN REJECTION. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS. YOU MIGHT GET ACCEPTED, YOU MIGHT NOT. NO ONE KNOWS. THERE ARE NO HARD AND FAST RULES. IF IT IS ACCEPTED, IT WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY ONLY BE CONSIDERED "ACCEPTABLE." RISK YOUR TIME AND EFFORT AT YOUR PERIL!

[quote name='Indigo_Streetlight']I'm getting an acceptance rate of about one per day; it makes me think some supervisor is standing around with a glass of absinthe next to a couple of dumptruck loads of games...while the one responsible for the glitch is made to scan each item and recite its TIV with tears in their eyes.[/QUOTE]

GENERAL FAQ (Updated 06/07/2011)
Can I post a question on this thread?
  • Only if you can't find the answer from below. :lol: And please let me know if it needs to be added to FAQ.
Can I edit this FAQ? (updated 6/7/11)
  • You bet! Up top there is a section for notable TIVs - feel free to add anything in there (and if you can remember, clean up after yourself in a few days when the TIV has undoubtedly dropped). You can edit the FAQ too, please just make sure it's useful and well formatted! Thanks!
Since when did Amazon start doing trades?
  • The program began in 2009 and is handled by a third party merchant, NorAm International.
What kind of shipping does Amazon provide us?
  • Free UPS ground ---- USPS is no longer available for free. There is now also an option to provide your own shipping.
Do I have to provide my own box or envelope?
  • Yes.
Do all my games in the same trade-in submission have to be shipped in the same box? (updated 3/9/11)
  • Not necessarily - people have sent in multiple boxes for the same trade-in submission successfully. It's even possible to send half at one time and the other half at the end of the valid shipping period. However, it's probably best to always ship everything at once.
Can I put separate trades in to a single box? (updated 6/7/11)
  • Sure, and they'll likely be accepted just fine. However, it isn't recommended since you would only have proof that you sent one of the trades (whichever mailing label you used). So it can be pretty risky.
Can I send in sealed games?
  • Yes. They won't reject games that still have the original shrink wrap.
Can I add Delivery Confirmation and Insurance to my shipment?
  • UPS Ground already provides you with tracking information, and I imagine you could get some sort of insurance added at a UPS store or location if you were so inclined.
I don't trust UPS ground. Can I pay for postage myself? What's the address?
  • Yes. You're more than welcome to do so. The address is:
    NorAm International
    22 Hampshire Dr
    Hudson, NH 03051
    (This is also an option when submitting your trades)
When do I have to send my games once I have submitted my trade order?
  • You have 1 week (7 days) to send your games. There have been reports of submitting trades up to 15 - 20 days late, but that is definitely ymmv. Send on time for the best chance at success!
Crap, I have one day to go before my shipment deadline, but the website states that my deadline has already passed. How do I print out a shipping label and packing slip?
  • Load up any existing order (if you don't have any, check your browser's history or just submit a new one to use the link), and substitute the transaction ID for the trade-in order you need at the end of the URL.
How long does the whole trade-in process usually take?
  • From the time you send in your games, it may take up to 14 business days for the package to arrive. Most people usually receive their credit (Amazon GiftCard) in 3 to 5 business days, however.
How long does the "processing" status usually take? (Updated 6/8/11)
  • Usually a day or with little delay at all, but the longest reported days so far is 4.
My games were received on Friday (based on Delivery Confirmation), will I have to wait until Monday to receive credit?
  • People have received credit on a Saturday.
I do not have the manual, cover art, or original case for a game I want to trade in. Will they accept it? (updated 6/9/11)
  • While the details specifically state that original packaging is necessary, people have reported in the past that their trades were accepted despite missing some of these. This is extremely YMMV, however since some were also rejected by missing manual or cover art. On the other hand, older gen games; such as SNES, N64, and GB cartridges, normally get accepted without the original box and manual, but still YMMV.

    It should be noted that with the new condition requirements (see later in the FAQ), you may be able to send an item in missing some or all of the required items (manual / cover art / case) and still have it accepted in "Acceptable" condition.
I do not have the manual, accessories, original box, original included game, etc for a console or accessory I want to trade in. Will they accept it? (updated 3/9/11)
  • The current wisdom is "probably not" - it's pretty YMMV but NorAm seems stricter than they should be on this. Your chances seem to be better for them accepting a console or accessory without the box / manual / etc if it's older generation or rare. You're more than welcome to give it a shot though if you're feeling lucky - just pack it well and include as much as you can!
My game is really beat up, what are the chances they’ll accept it?
  • This is YMMV. Some people have reported in the past that they sent in games in bad shape that were still accepted. Your best bet is still to trade in games in mint condition. Minor scratches are expected as these are used games.
My game came with DLC codes and I used them. Will my game be accepted? (Updated 12/28/11)
  • It is expected that included DLC codes have already been redeemed, so you should be fine. It is a kindness however if you have no use for it to not redeem it and let the next lucky soul who buys it from awd or wherever have a crack at it. Up to you!
My cover art (PLATINUM HITS) differs from the pic on amazon, will my trade be accepted?
  • It all depends on the UPC so just turn your game around, type in the UPC into the amazon search box. If the game comes up, then it's accepted regardless of cover art. Click on that result to submit your trade.
I have a game from a limited edition bundle, will they accept it?
  • If the game’s cover art has a UPC barcode, they will most likely accept it. If your game's cover states "Not for Resale" and does not have a UPC barcode, the game will most likely get rejected. Some people have had their games accepted in the past, but this is very YMMV.
The UPC barcode is not intact on my game's cover art, will that be accepted? (updated 3/9/11)
  • This is YMMV, but probably not. The UPC is all powerful within the walls of NorAm.
I sent in my games, all of which were in pristine condition with the original packaging, but they said that one game is damaged and is now being returned.
  • Always pack your games well. Put a lot of newspaper around your games in the box to secure them and to prevent any damages from haphazard box cutting. People in the past have requested their entire trade-in order if it’s obvious the damage wasn’t their fault, and Amazon ended up accepting the rejected game. This is YMMV as well.
Can I trade in multiple copies of the same game?
  • Yes. Once you click “Trade in” for a particular game, you may change the quantities. Once you submit, you can no longer change quantities on that trade-in batch.
How many multiple copies of the same game can I trade-in (updated 1/11/11)?
  • Maximum of 2 copies within 3 a month period.
I locked in X copies of a game but I now only have Y available to send. Can I just send in Y without being penalized? (updated 3/9/11)
  • Yes, you can always just send in a portion of your trade-in order and they'll just credit you for whatever they receive. However, the quantities you submitted for will stay locked in that instance (I think) so if you, for example, submitted for 2 copies and only sent 1, you may not be able to trade any more copies of that game for 3 months (see previous question).
Will the Trade-in of the Day TIV stay for 24 hours?
  • It's been reported that there is a limit (maximum # of copies) that will get the promoted TIV so lock yours.
So if I find a good flip, I can just send 2 copies of that game and not worry about Amazon accusing me of stolen merchandise?
  • Technically yes, but do keep in mind that other CAGs might want to participate in the current deal, and trading in a large number of the same game will definitely lower the TIV of said game. Let’s be nice to other people. This is probably moot for most folks now with the per account / address trade-in limit.
Wow, these TIVs suck (updated 3/9/11)!
  • Really? Hrm. While that may be true, they're often better than other comparable places. Your options of what to do with your used games are greater now than they've ever been, so feel free to shop your trades around or just sell them off on glyde/gamestaq/ebay/whatever. Also, not a question.
What the fuck? The TIV of a game I just bought for this deal tanked! What do I do?
  • The TIVs on Amazon fluctuate depending on the number of trades that are submitted, and we really can’t do anything about it. The best course of action for trading in games is to lock in your trade if you already have the games or are absolutely sure that you can obtain them. You can always cancel the trade submission if you end up not finding the games.
    LOCK = SUBMIT YOUR TRADE, Don't just put it in the cart.
Can I edit a submitted trade?
  • Nope - once upon a time you could modify trade in quantities of submitted trades, but that ability has been removed.
Can I use my credit on items that are not video game-related?
  • Yes. This is the other perk for trading in games at Amazon since you're not limited to just video games.
Can I use my credit on items sold by third-party merchants on Amazon?
  • According to the fine print of the Amazon gift card use, some merchants are excluded. Your best bet is to try it on the checkout page of your order.
Strategy guides? I can trade in game/strategy guides? Whaaaaa?
  • Go to the Textbook Buyback section (http://www.amazon.com/Textbooks-Trad...ode=2205237011[/URL]). You can either search on the title of a strategy guide you have to see if they'll accept it, or search for guides. The two best search strings to start with are 'prima guides' and 'bradygames'. Might try 'doublejump' if you want to trade in some of those. (Thanks eugaet)
I locked in some hilariously overvalued trade for some weird rare game/accessory/etc that I can pick up for cheap cheap cheap. They didn't accept it. What should I do? (updated 3/9/11)
  • The truth is that NORAM can reject things for any reason they see fit. While some people have managed to get silly things like a $200 credit for some cheerleading game (or for a PS2 - just ask io!), it's sooooooo YMMV that often it's not worth the effort. EXPECT REJECTION ON THINGS THAT ARE CLEARLY MISVALUED. That said, as long as you're willing to risk it, go for it!
What's all this item condition nonsense? And how can I get screwed over by it? (updated 6/9/11)
  • We're still kinda sussing out the details surrounding the new item condition portion of Amazon Trade-Ins, but it looks like there's a couple things to consider:
    • Good Condition eligibility (games):
    • - The video game, original manufacturer packaging and all original elements are included, but shows wear from normal use
      - Game still plays perfectly
      - Disc may have light scratches and other elements may have minor damage
      - Item may have been personalized (marked or identified)
      Click to expand...

      [*]Acceptable eligibility (games):
      - Game still plays perfectly
      - Item may have been personalized (marked or identified)
      - Item may be missing or have irreparable damage to one or all of the following: case, manual, artwork, bundled accessories, UPC
      Click to expand...

      [*]Note that a game will almost certainly not be accepted if it meets any of these conditions:
      - Game does not play perfectly
      - Disc is cracked
      - Marked Not for Resale (or is otherwise marked not for sale)
      Click to expand...
    Consoles/accessories have some slightly different criteria, but the idea is the same.
Did it seriously just ask me if I wanted my game / other item returned if they refuse to give me credit for it? (updated 6/9/11)
  • Yes, that just happened.

    Unless you're purposefully sending them things you deem to be trash, please remember to choose the option that has them return your item to you during the checkout phase.
Who is AFS? (updated 6/9/11)
  • Not sure yet, but that's the name on the trade-in shipping labels now instead of NORAM. May just be NORAM with a different name. This will be updated as we learn more.
Post away!

[quote name='JJSP']Just a heads up if anyone's looking to get rid of the game, but Saints Row 3 jumped up in value for :360: but dropped for :ps3:. 360 is $27, PS3 is $18.50 after those values being reversed for about two weeks. Glad I sent my PS3 copy in at the old value.[/QUOTE]

:360: Saints Row The Third went up to $29.70. Cancelled a trade in that I was supposed to send by tomorrow at the latest. :ps3: version is also at $27.00.

edit:
:360 version is now down to $25 but the :ps3: held at $27.

[quote name='Golden Lemonz']Batman Arkham City :360: is $31.05. I want to trade that in but another Batman i click on is at $12. Does anyone know the difference?[/QUOTE]

Not really sure, since they have the same EAN number when you attempt to trade them in. I don't see any reason to not use the $31.05 version. Just make sure that the UPC matches (although there has been some recent cases reported that although the UPC didn't match a game was still accepted).

bah, wrong post

NorAm rejected my mint "Final Fantasy XIII bundle" (indicated in "good" condition) because I was "missing original packaging" (aka "the box"). All the prior drama is available here: http://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=48112916&postcount=68

Because I'm OK with getting $140 for a bare system ... since that's $50 more than I'll get at GS ... what's the least I have to send back to NorAm to get "acceptable" condition? The criteria says:
[quote name='Amazon']Video Game Console - Acceptable Condition Eligibility Criteria
Trade-in items must match the exact version displayed in the Amazon Video Games Trade-In Store.
Typical elements included with a video game console: console, controller(s), bundled game(s), cables, user manual, and UPC (or EAN).
Please check your item to ensure it meets this criteria:
Item is fairly worn from consistent use
Item remains in working condition
The signs of wear can include scratches or minor damage
Handheld console has a working display (may have some dead spots or light scratches)
Item may have been personalized (marked, engraved, or identified)
The item may be missing or have irreparable damage to one or all of the following: original packaging, controller(s), bundled game(s), cables, user manual
To ensure customer privacy, accepted items with on-device storage will have their data wiped upon inspection.[/quote]

... so it seems as long as I provide the 360, the original 250GB HDD w/ its "unique" stamp on top, and a power brick, that's really all I need, right? They say I'm allowed to be missing controllers, instructions, cables, and packaging, so screw 'em if they don't need 'em. :D

Does anyone have experience about how much of the equipment I can hold back to clear "acceptable" status, and just keep the rest of the contents for myself?

There's no set criteria for what you specifically need to send in but the more items you're missing the higher the liklihood your item will get rejected outright even in Acceptable condition.

If you're missing even one major component of an item (i.e packaging, cables, etc.) then your item is automatically deemed/downgraded to Acceptable according to their terms. That's what that description is referring to. If you submit an item missing any more than one of those major components then they'll likely just not accept your item at all.

This isn't GameStop where they tell you ahead of time exactly what you're required to send in to meet their criteria. With Amazon/Noram trades seem to be more subjective and subject to higher standards...

You can say that again - the higher standards can be a blessing when you're actually ordering from awd (assuming some quantity of their supply comes from noram trades). The subjectivity/randomness can be a real pain in the ass when trading. For example, this week I had the Gears of War Triple Pack rejected for "Incorrect Edition". I'm pretty sure there was just one but I'll have to wait until it gets back to confirm that the upc matches the listing.

Do you remember where you got the Gears Triple Pack from? I just checked mine that I bought from Best Buy sometime around Black Friday and it gave me this.

Also, anyone else notice that NBA2K12 being the Trade in of the Day once a week for each system for at least the past month? From what I've read it's a great basketball game but I can't believe there's such a high demand for used copies that it would take up two days of each week.
 
[quote name='finstersucks']So who screwed up the trades in value? Everything is pretty much down 25% -50% overnight.[/QUOTE]

Batman Arkham City :360: was $31 yesterday and is like $7 now!
 
There are a ton of games that went up by a lot overnight as well.

Metroid Prime Trilogy is up to $45.05.
Conker Live and Reloaded went up over 1000% to 11.75. I'm dumping my copy as I type this.
 
[quote name='mtxbass1']
Conker Live and Reloaded went up over 1000% to 11.75. [/QUOTE]

I can't believe that I sold my copy to Amazon for 4 bucks. I thought that was good since it was around 75 cents for awhile. Little did I know that it went as far up as 22 dollars. I would have been happy with 11.75 as well. Oh well can't win em all.
 
havnt been able to get on toysrustradeincenter.com last few days. anyone else got any luck?
and that sucks i missed those high batman tivs, oh wellz

Official rejection reason: missing the All Fronts DLC card
 
I have the old Halo 3 Xbox 360 that they claim is worth about $120 on trade. How do they grade consoles when you trade them in? I have everything originally included and the original box. The controller has some wear though. Is it likely it would be rejected if I say I only want the top value?
 
thanks klimb but it went back to 16 tiv again. these tivs are bouncing all over everywhere. trying to get more than 17 for it tho, 31 would have been epic...

you can always try top value and choose for them to downgrade if it isnt right

Anyone else notice that the Best Buy copies (regular, non Robin DLC) of Batman Arkham City's UPCs don't match any of Amazon TI UPC/EANs.

[quote name='Pookymeister']360? If i search on the upc i have - 883929166770 - i get two results.[/QUOTE]
Both 360 and PS3. Had these locked in at $31.05 a pop. When I add them to trade in cart I get:

360
EAN: 4560206939215

PS3
EAN: 5051892066716

Usually the EAN matches the UPC, but I guess if you search by the actual UPC on the game and it pulls it up I guess it's ok to send in. I just don't want to get rejected for "Incorrect UPC" By the time they send the back TI values (GS, BB, etc) would have dropped heavily across the board.

They might reject it just to be jackasses, but I've had bby exclusive copies of stuff where the ean doesn't match the upc multiple times lately no problem.

If anyone has a miracle stash of Shadow the Hedgehog :xbox:, tiv is currently 30.00:

Thanks. Something is telling me to go ahead and take these to GS today, but I need Amazon credit way more than I need GS credit. I guess I could always get rid of these for more than $10 each in the event Amazon sends them back.
 
[quote name='slowdive21']I guess I should have locked in some trades. doh! Now they are 17 and 15 for arkham.[/QUOTE]

I'm not sure they will get accepted since it has a different UPC. So don't feel so bad.
 
When I received my Ratchet All 4 One that I bought from warehouse deals the UPC area was cut out (guess it was not for resale). Has anyone ever traded in games to Amazon without the UPC but everything else is there? Did you get downgraded for that? Debating doing that since Batman UPC is different.

I'll be the guinea pig and send one in. Should know if accepted or rejected before most of our 7 days are up.
 
I send in my two copies as well. my experience is it will work. The upc bring back the game. The only time I got rejected is when the upc code is not found through a search. For example, bestbuy's exclusive battlestation pacific.

PS3 & 360 or two on one console? I guess you'll have to report back to us since I didn't get a chance to ship today.
 
[quote name='confoosious']You can look up completed listings on ebay.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for that. I actually didn't know such a feature existed. Wow the TIV is already down to $0.50. Good thing I locked in a couple.
 
My RE5 Gold 360 was rejected for "wrong item"? Dang shoulda probably traded it in as regular I guess, but then why is that one eligible for trade-ins? (The 360 version has the same disc as the standard edition, same manual even, only thing different is a download voucher and the cover).
 
For those who've traded in GameBoy Advance games, does the trade-in program accept cartridges without any boxes or manuals? I have a few I want to get rid of.
 
Yes, as acceptable. However the labels have to be in good condition. I have had a few GBA games rejected because the label was torn, even if it was a small tear (they were games I bought used since anything I bought new wouldn't have had that happen).

As always, it's gonna be YMMV. Sometimes they'll accept a game missing case/instructions/etc. and just downgrade the item to Acceptable, other times they'll flat-out reject it.

Thanks. I sent my 360 copies in and still waiting on acceptance. Still have time to send my PS3 copies in, but won't if mine or others get rejected.
