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='bh47']Update: I got the $230 for my Elite!

Considering it had been refurbed once by MS for a not-quite-RROD-error, this was just a great trade for me. Thanks Amazon!

Condition I selected: Like New
- Excellent box condition
- All manuals and documents that came in the box
- All the wrappers for the cables (controller, headset, power block, power cable, hdmi cable, audio adapter)
- Spent extra time wiping off the controller, and used a toothpick to get the crud out of the seams
- Even more time dusting the vents and behind the faceplate on the Elite, and wiped clean the outer case
- The box had a sticker that said "Forza 3/Marvel UA included", but I did not include the games.

Good luck CAGs. Now to go spend some Amazon credit![/QUOTE]

[quote name='chuckywang']I sent mine in complete with box/manuals. Everything was pretty pristine. It was accepted at $230.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='Coraanu']Sweet, just got my credit this morning. I sent in everything that came with my elite console, single controller, and all plastic bags were still in the box. Good luck, guys.[/QUOTE]


so my elite was returned today. it was packaged in a big rectangular box and the elite box took up about 1/3 of it. the elite box is banged up and corners had that white cardboard tearing :hot:.

there were two label stickers with text (a sentence continued on to the other sticker) placed on the packing slip I had lightly taped to the elite box. the text is as follows with exact punctuation and line spacing:
For Xbox 360 elite 120 gb
console trade-in
in like new condition, Original
120 gb artwork required.
holiday bundle artwork does not
allow system to be traded in like
new condition.
Click to expand...

Okay this is bullshit since 1) a member on SD got credit for the Lego Batman/Pure (2009 holiday bundle) elite box without the games and 2) CAG member bh47 received "like new" credit for his Forza3/Marvel (a Spring bundle) elite.

I sent in a Lego Indiana Jones/Kungfu Panda (2008 holiday bundle) elite box w/out the games. I included all accessorizes (hdmi, ethernet, headset for slim bundle :cool:, some digital connector) as well as the component/av cables and controller. I cleaned everything that was used including the system so expected a "like new" credit.

Amazon will be receiving emails later about this as well as the poor condition of my once like new elite box (it was stored in a box and placed in a closest since Jan. 2009).
 
[quote name='htown01']Good luck to you. Last week I sent in 2 :360: white wireless controllers with the green packaging that came with the console and had them rejected. Good thing I chose to return the item because they were going to give me the acceptable TIV (it was $16.10 for like new, $14 for good, and $9.80 for acceptable). Honestly they qualified for at least good; sh*t I even sent them with batteries...and I only received 2 of the 4 batteries I sent :-({|=:headache:

Best of luck.[/QUOTE]

They rated my controller "Acceptable" too. I'm also getting it returned; no harm in trying.
 
[quote name='biglou13']They rated my controller "Acceptable" too. I'm also getting it returned; no harm in trying.[/QUOTE]

Damn, ain't that a :censored:. It's ridiculous that they would want the original plastic packaging for the controller, very few people save that. Ah well.
 
[quote name='radioactivez0r']6/26 Trade in of the Day:

:360: SFIV Fight Stick $32

I thought to myself, cool, I picked one up from Walmart for $15 and used it once before I realized I shouldn't play fighting games. Then I started looking at used prices...

http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Street-Fighter-IV-FightStick/dp/B001M22VCU/ref=trdrt_list_asin

Even on eBay they seem to sell for $50+. Had no idea they were so valuable?[/QUOTE]

Oh my friend you missed it where people were purchasing them for $20-30 on amazon just to flip it back at $70.

yeah the standard editions are no longer available for sale. the TE are too much to pay for. These go for $50 also on craigslist pretty easily.
 
if anyone cares to read my last post:
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8598603&postcount=248


so I contacted Amazon yesterday and received a reply.

Hello,

I'm sorry your submission for Xbox 360 Elite 120 GB Console System (Transaction ID #TRN-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX) was not accepted by the Merchant. According to the information provided by the Merchant processing your submission, the specific reason your item didn't meet the trade-in conditions was: Incorrect edition.

However, from your e-mail I understand that you've sent correct edition of Xbox 360 Elite 120 GB Console System. Therefore, I've issued you a $230.00 promotional certificate, which you can use the next time you order an item shipped and sold by Amazon.com. You'll see your available promotional balance at checkout--this amount will be applied to your next order automatically without entering a claim code. Your promotional balance doesn't appear in Your Account but will always display when you place an order.

props to A K G. (the CSR) and Amazon CS in general :applause: :bouncy:

oh and of course I checked that the credit was applied (have $250 total thanks to previous pre-order bonus). now I can wait for a nice ps3 deal and not pay tax (usually pay tax but thanks to credit I won't :cool:)

You pay tax on Amazon items when there warehouses are in your state right?
 
a couple weird TIVs today:

Contra (NES) - 7.50
Jaws Unleashed (PC) - 20.00

Had a mlb2k11 rejected due to "cracked disc" which is a bit suspect, but other recent trades have been grand.
 
[quote name='DudeImGodly']You pay tax on Amazon items when there warehouses are in your state right?[/QUOTE]

It depends if your state considers this to be nexus or not.
 
I am so pissed at Amazon right now, I traded in a perfect copy of Black Ops and today I get an email saying the game is being returned because the disc is cracked. It was definitely NOT cracked when I sent it, I even made sure there were no scratches and that it played before I sent it.

So either they or UPS damaged it so no not only do I not get my credit I will end up with a broken game.

Ridiculous.

They dropped the trade in price by about $10 the day after I submitted my trade in...
 
Did you take pics before you sent it?

Contact amazon CS when you get it back, you may end up with the credit and your game back. Dont freak out just yet
 
So I just realized that the Uncharted I was going to sell is a Not for resale version (dam you gamestop). Is the only way around this is to remove the artwork and take the lower amount? Everything else about it is great.

Well, damn, if you are getting the full $230 and getting your system back I think I may bug them about getting that extra $30 that they denied me when downgrading mine to "good" (given that everyone else got the full $230).
 
I am kind of freaking out about one of my trade-ins. I had 3 different trade-in orders or whatever, so I sent in 3 boxes. Two of the boxes departed this one place but the other says unload scan, june 24th at this city and it hasn't changed. I hope it isn't lost or stolen as it was the most valuable one (had $200 worth of games in it)
 
has anyone ever had luck with putting multiple trade ins in the same box or is that a very
dumb idea. i just only have one box left, and i think i could get both in and sent under the weight limit of just one, but i dont want it to be rejected/only count as one traded in...

I do it all the time and have had zero problems, but it's a terrible idea as you can't prove that you sent the other trade ins without the tracking info.

I've put 6 games or more for trade its so its no problem. However, people seem to have had problems when they put 20 plus in one box but that's not always the case. If you want more boxes why don't you go to your local supermarket and get a couple of them ( I work in one and oh boy it is a gold mine for boxes to use in trade ins ). You can split your games up into multiple packages if you are weary. Oh and make Sure the manual is in it ( unless its a old game boy or snes game ) they might reject it or more likely give you less credit for your trade in if you don't have it with the game.
 
This may be a stupid question, but can you buy a Amazon Gift card with the credit from the trade-ins? Because I would like to send someone a gift card, preferably with this credit I would be getting.
 
I really wish Amazon would list Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters as a trade in so I can get rid of it already.

It's been out for over 3 weeks now....and is still not listed.
 
I made some pretty significant changes to the mobile version of the tracker:

screen3.png

Made a few optimizations so hopefully it should run faster and look better on your small screens. If you run into any issues with the changes, please let me know!

well io you did technically choose the option to downgrade ;). I was surprised the csr applied the credit, just expected him to tell me to resend and they will honor the $230.

Amazon does not even have it listed. That's the problem. Best Buy/Gamestop have a TIV...but not Amazon (and I want Amazon credit). They had the crappy Thor game up 2 weeks after it came out and it's still hovering around $14-$15.
Green Lantern was so much better than that game.

I don't expect much for it. I would just like something. I hate being a sucker for these craptastical superhero movie tie-ins.

But dammit, I am still getting Captain America. :D
 
Damn just saw the Noire dropped in value from $30 to $25. I knew I should have locked in $30 and tried to finish it up so I could trade it in at the higher value.
 
Quick question- I won a game from the subway sweepstakes (PS3) and it has a slashed bar code. Is amazon still going to accept this? I know on the front page it says YMMV, but I want to know the general consensus before I try.
 
my trade in was suppose to go to hudson NH but for some reason when I track the package its in transit to the infamous chelmsford town. :cry:

For me that experience has been different. I had 8 different trade ins go through that town and they all ended up at amazon.
 
so my orders got there a few days ago, usually they are quickquick about this stuff but i still havnt had my tradeins approved, anyone else noticing some slack in the system?
i mean, nothing compared to bestbuy's 1 month turnaround, but just wondering, usually i get credited the day they get it, and ups says all my packages are delivered...

Yes, my last two took a while. I had even completely forgotten about one since I did it so long ago - but I got the credit on Friday. They got another package mid-week and nothing yet. I wouldn't expect anything till the middle of next week at this point.
 
I usually drop off my trade ins at the UPS store around 9 or so on mondays before the UPS truck comes in to pick up the packages, I get my trade in credit by Wednesday night by doing this, latest I get it is Thursday afternoon
 
[quote name='Velo214']so my orders got there a few days ago, usually they are quickquick about this stuff but i still havnt had my tradeins approved, anyone else noticing some slack in the system?

Hmm, since I started trading again I've noticed that it takes two days now to process my stuff. Last year it would be approved by the following day without fail. Nothing unusual though.
 
Does Amazon care about Slipcovers for trade ins? For example the cardboard cover that goes over Fallout New Vegas. The one I got with mine is trashed and makes the game look in worse condition than it is (the actual game and case are practically mint)

Thanks!
