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='Kendro']Mine's been in verification status for 3 days now for BF3.[/QUOTE]

I sent some stuff off last week and it just hit verification status, I hope it goes through before the BF deals start.
 
Not game related but trade in. I sent in some stuff so I could have some credit for Black Friday, but just a day after I got credit for them, their Trade in value went up over $70 combined :(

That's too bad but hindsight is always 20/20 vision. Besides $70 isn't life changing money so I wouldn't be too worked up over it.

I submitted a trade for Modern Warfare 3 at $38.50 and noticed it was going for $35 today. So I cancelled the old one and submitted a new one. Definitely worth $3.50 to play the game online for one more week during Thanksgiving weekend.
 
so guys I want to trade in rage ps3 at amazon but my says anarchy edition on it. Does it matter or is this the only copy of rage available and do I need to send it with a slip cover. Does it matter?
 
Resident evil archives (an old RE art book from like 2006) is currently trading in for $87. I had a spare I traded in months ago for $30. I really don't wanna get rid of my other copy, but that price is mighty tempting.
 
Hey guys if I trade in a game that has an online pass (Fifa, dead space 2) but already used it, is it still in good condition if everything else is still intact?
 
[quote name='PancakesAreLove']Hey guys if I trade in a game that has an online pass (Fifa, dead space 2) but already used it, is it still in good condition if everything else is still intact?[/QUOTE]
Yes.
 
[quote name='Kendro']My BF3 has been in verification mode since 11/16 when it was delivered.[/QUOTE]

My BF3 arrived Monday and is still in verification mode, too. My other games were accepted though in my other package.

edit: just got the GC deposited email at 3:30pm.
 
[quote name='Kendro']They are probably wondering what to do with the whole LE vs SE status. I also did not give them the online pass card.[/QUOTE]

Mine was the LE and it was accepted about 10 mins ago, not sure how long it'd been in verifying status, but it arrived on Monday.
 
I'm going to be really pushing it with about 4 things I have to mail in. They were supposed to be mailed by Thursday. So I got them all ready on Wednesday and went to the UPS store and they had closed early with an earlier than usual pickup for Ground shipments. Then, it said on the door that while they are open Friday, there is no UPS Ground pickup that day. This seems to be a system-wide thing. And yet, I can mail stuff at the post office today. Yeah, let's get rid of the USPS and just use these more convenient private shippers :roll:.

Anyway, I guess I'll drop them off and have them scanned in today - but they won't go out till Monday (oh yeah, they also don't do anything over the weekend - strike two). But that is still a day later than they were supposed to get dropped off. Add in the weekend and then 8-9 days for transit cross country (strike three for UPS) and I'll be sweating out having my orders cancelled on me by Amazon.
 
How does the CONSOLE trade in work? What do I need to send to get the FULL value? I have the box, controller and I believe everything that came with it. How stingy are they on the condition? They are giving $132 for an Elite and it might help offset the cost if I order a Holiday bundle tonight :)

Also, I traded in a few games with a slash through the UPC....are those still LIKE NEW (everything else was MINT)

I think the common wisdom is "good luck" on console trade-ins for like new condition. I just sent in a 3ds with all of the original components, bags, and even the original stickers that keep the box sealed still sticky and I don't feel completely confident. Basically, to get the highest value try to send it as if it was just opened and you closed it back up and dropped it off at UPS.

As far as the barcode slash goes, if it's a not for resale type thing you're probably looking at rejection but it certainly doesn't hurt to try.

Thanks....the slash is through an actual barcode, it doesn't say not for resale, but I'm hoping. As for the console, I guess I may just keep it. Although, I'm looking on EBAY for some old 360 Elites, and they seem to be selling high (not always the case of course). Any reason? Do people want the older style console for some odd reason?
 
hm Arkham City dropped about $10 from yesterday to today on the PS3 version. Stupid me for not locking it in. 360 ver is still $33.

What are the chances the PS3 goes back up eventually. Sorry I don't follow Amazon's trade in trends as much as some of you guys. Thanks a lot!

No worries, 360 version has now dropped to $20. I expect the tiv will go up slightly over the next week or two, but probably won't jump back over $30. Just lock it and keep checking every day and cancel+relock as it goes up, don't send it until the last possible day.

Oh damn. I really blew it then, ha! Yeah I guess I'll do that. Thanks a lot for the info/advice
 
Hmmm....doubting my slashed UPC as good now after further reading the Amazon trade in policy. I did it before and it was fine, but I don't think they had the rating system. Oh well....if not, I get games back to go in my backlog.
 
When games, such as Dance Central 2, state Card for 240 Microsoft Points included, do we need to include said item for the TIV to be considered 'Good' condition? I know generally they aren't needed, but wasn't sure if it matters when the game case states it's included.

nope, not needed if it is any kind of code whatsoeve regardless of what the box says.

and shipping weight is irrelevant - you could put 20 pounds of lead in the box and it'd still ship.

Does Dance Central 2 have version like that? Dance Central 1 has a version that does, and amazon actually doesn't take that version in for trade. They only take the version that didn't come with MS points in for trade. For things like avatar DLC and online passes, amazon doesn't seem to care (nor suffered reductions in grading), as I've sent in more than a few games missing them and had no issues but for MS points, it may be a different matter, at least when dance central 1 is involved.

i typed in the UPC of the version with the MS points on the trade in page and the game came up so we'll be fine.

Yes. You're more than welcome to do so. The address is:
NorAm International

(This is also an option when submitting your trades)
[/QUOTE]

Anyone know if it's possible to personally deliver items to them? I live pretty damn close, and it would be a lot more convenient to just hand it to them myself.
 
[quote name='Donut2922']i typed in the UPC of the version with the MS points on the trade in page and the game came up so we'll be fine.[/QUOTE]

I have a dance central with 240 points inside printed on the cover, and when I type in my UPC number, 885370267747, into the amazon search bar it takes me to the dance central page, which has two versions...game, and game with 240 points....The game version has trade in button on the right, if you select the game with 240 points there is no trade in button on the right. If you go the trade in storefront and type in my UPC code, it says it doesn't match any products. Maybe there are multiple versions with different UPC codes out there and amazon will take some and not others for some reason, but it seems they aren't interested in my version.
 
[quote name='K_G']I have a dance central with 240 points inside printed on the cover, Maybe amazon will take some and not others for some reason, but it seems they aren't interested in my version.[/QUOTE]

I actually traded in 2 of these with no prob 2 months back.
 
It was $230 for a like new 120gb elite back in July when I sent mine in, but $195 is still pretty good, especially with all these system deals for Black Friday.
 
Couldn't find this in the OP. Do disc only games qualify for acceptable condition and have people succesfully been credited for disc only games?

Just to clarify, I meant that I typed in the UPC of the Just Dance 2 with the 240 MS points bonus included.

I do remember the two different UPC's issue with Just Dance 1. From what I'm aware of, Just Dance 2 has a UPC that if you were to enter it into the trade-in storefront, the game (version with the 240 MS points) will come up. I'm not aware of any JD2 version that doesn't have the 240 MS points excluded (like JD1).
 
Does Amazon still have issues with accepting trade ins with different skus? I have two Arkham Citys and neither shows up on UPC search, and one of them was bought at Amazon.

Yup, if they SKU's don't match then they will not accept the item.
 
[quote name='suko_32']Yup, if they SKU's don't match then they will not accept the item.[/QUOTE]

Thanks. Damn you Amazon. Haha, I understand my Robin code BB version not working, but why the heck does the one I bought from Amazon not show up?
 
If I have a :ps3: case that doesn't snap shut all the way (the bottom latch seems to be broken), will that drop me from "good" to "acceptable"? The case is otherwise in great condition.
 
[quote name='evophile']Does Amazon still have issues with accepting trade ins with different skus? I have two Arkham Citys and neither shows up on UPC search, and one of them was bought at Amazon.[/QUOTE]

Find a used copy at your local GameStop that has the right UPC and ask to switch the cover art. Or buy the used copy, switch the art at home, and then return it if the GS employees give you a hard time.

Hard to say. This seems to happen frequently with PS3 cases though. I've had a few like that and just to be safe I swapped them out with another case before sending to Amazon. Most likely you will be OK anyway, but no guarantees from me on that ;).
 
This is a little weird, I just submitted a trade and the address on the label isn't the usual AFS or Noram address. Instead I'll be sending to: Amazon.com Trade In, 525 North Center Ave., Greensburg, PA 15605. The trade is for a book (Orange Box strategy guide) so maybe the books program is run differently, although I did trade in a different book a month ago and it went to the usual Noram. Has anyone else seen this address?

How bizarre - I was born in Greensburg!
 
Completely forgot that I sent in a couple games when the daily deal was more trade in value.

They haven't gotten there yet. Hopefully tomorrow it updates
 
Okay, the regular 360 Elite is getting $60 in trade, but the bundle with Kung Fu Panda and Lego Indy is $195ish. So, can I just go buy the two-pack of those games and pack them with my Elite as the bundle, or does it HAVE to be that box? I'm nervous to just go with it and end up wasting time and effort.
 
Okay, so I think I figured out the UPC issue with my Amazon copy of Arkham City.

The shrink wrap on this copy had a sticker over the UPC. That UPC shows up on Amazon.

This is probably a stupid question but if I stuck that UPC over the case, Noram would probably reject it as being unacceptable or damaged? Even though that UPC sticker is correct? Or would they bust it down the trade in value? Thanks!

yeah the box has to have the same upc. I sent THIS one (in Lego/Indy bundle box) in months back when the plain elite had $230 ish tiv and it got rejected as wrong item...
