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!

Might be good to switch gamestop to amazon credit.[/QUOTE]
How fickle is Amazon about editions/covers? I've got Signature Edition and would trade it in at that price, but don't want to go through the hassle of sending it and having it returned if they're just going to turn it away.
 
Question for the Amazon trade in GURUS. I'm thinking about trading a game from the Gamestop b2g1. Does it have to be, almost, brand new to get the 'good' value? I will try and find the best 1 I can. I want to be sure, as Games top has that 7 day window.
 
[quote name='ChunLiBarbie']Nevermind. From the reviews, Amazon's third party trade in seems shady as hell.[/QUOTE]

It isn't but, hey whatever you'd like to believe.
 
[quote name='DudeImGodly']It isn't but, hey whatever you'd like to believe.[/QUOTE]

Have you dealt with them a lot?

What's this about them keeping items, downgrading new items to 'acceptable' if a tiv drops and thy don't want to pay it, as well as returning a banged-up version of what someone sent as nearly new?

I've been using Amazon trade in for almost a year and have never encountered any of the problems you mentioned.

On another note I sent in the my horse and me game on Friday and received the full $38.50 credit today. I'm bummed because I found a second like new copy at another Gamestop after I had already sent my one copy in. Thanks to the person that posted.
 
[quote name='Arakias']Some people have bad experiences and are vocal. Most dont and are quiet.[/QUOTE]
Pretty much, I've traded tons of books and games to Amazon and I never had a problem. I haven't traded anything to Amazon though for a couple of months, so I don't know if something changed.
 
Most of the problems I had occur with games with an abnormally high tivs or with posted flips they get swamped with. When they get a bunch of them all at once with crazy tivs, they notice and pull shit to get out of paying sometimes.

One definite issue I've had is with scratched PS3 games. They will reject those in my experience. Scratched wii and 360 games can be refinished, so those are normally accepted. Also, I would not choose to accept the lower value if at all possible. Have them return it.
 
[quote name='chuckywang']Good luck on this one. That is a rare GBA game, so quite valuable. If you do find it, you are very lucky, and you should sell it on ebay rather than trade it into Amazon for a measly $24.[/QUOTE]

I checked ebay and saw it for $40ish so I didn't think it was that rare. Even amazon 3rd party sellers are selling it for around that amount.

Yeah a mint copy goes for $200 ish though
 
Just had my two Jedi Battles accepted today even though I sent in late! I bought them from a local used game store and they shrink wrapped them so I didn't even check them and sent them in as is. Sorry to everyone that got rejected and thanks to the person who posted that flip. I'm on the look out to repay the favor.

Are we really back to this again?

My stomped on games from about a year ago disagree ;).

While the majority of my trades have gone fine, I've had several that have hinted at either shadiness or incompetance. I haven't had any problems in over 6 months. But that period around a year ago (Dec. 2010 - March 2011 or so) was pretty bad. And I wasn't the only one.

When 1 game out of a box of 6 comes back with a completely crushed case (such that it is broken into pieces) something strange is going on. This happened to several people all around the same time.

Question, I am trying to shift some credit from gamestop to amazon and pick up 1 lord of the ring and 2x cod mw2. Lord of the ring is fine but mw2 is refab... does amazon care about it? Here is the pic

The back of the disk look fine but the center of the disk look a bit funny and there is no holo xbox logo...

Is this fine should I go to another gamestop and try to switch them out?

They're refurbished disks.
They'll be fine.
 
Those are stickers hiding a crack in the disc, or some other defect. They only do that to refurb discs with issues. You SHOULD be able to go back and switch those out with a receipt.
 
[quote name='DudeImGodly']Wasn't that during the time where if your stuff went through chelmsford you just assumed it would be stolen?[/QUOTE]

Um, no, you must be thinking of someone else. I don't even know what Chelmsford is. I had no problems with delivery to NorAm. It was what they did afterwards!

Nonono

There was a time where in general, a bunch of people had a problem where the stuff went missing when going through Chelmsford on the way to NorAm.

I think it was around the time where you're cases were smashed.

How is that even possible at a sorting facility?
 
So I have a vanilla :360: Mortal Kombat from the TRU sale last year that I wanted to trade in, but the UPC number is obviously different. Anyone know if they're still hardasses about this sort of thing?

[quote name='esalw822']They took my Rage Anarchy Editions (both PS3 and Xbox) and Best Buy exclusive Batman Arkham City (Xbox x2). You'll be fine...[/QUOTE]

This is definitely a new thing and I'm glad to see this. I also had them accept my Best Buy Batman a few weeks back. That was something that would have been a guaranteed rejection in the past. So at least they are imrpoving in some areas (though it also seems like they don't smash cases quite so much any more either ;)).

DudeImGodly - still not following you. All I was saying was that my issues had nothing to do with the Chelmsford sorting facility. One game out of 6 in a stack sent in a box doesn't get completely crushed at the sorting facility while the others are just fine - this had to have happened at NorAm, whether intentional or not.
 
[quote name='ChunLiBarbie']I thought about getting 3(buy 2 get 1 $27.99each) Tekken Hybrid Limited Editions and selling them to Amazon for $22.50 each to move the credit there.

However, I haven't dealt with Amazon for trade in/s and don't feel like trying to find 3 complete sets.

it better to do the mw3 to BB and get kindle card. not easy to sell on AMZ and also get hit with the 15% seller fee
 
[quote name='tepro']it better to do the mw3 to BB and get kindle card. not easy to sell on AMZ and also get hit with the 15% seller fee[/QUOTE]

Amazon Trade in is $22.50.

I'm gonna hold this GS gift card and wait. Something's telling me to wait. Maybe another crazy Best Buy/GameStop 50% trade bonus deal is coming or something.
 
[quote name='Japakneez']I know it was happening to one CAG way too often. It sounded like he was specifically targeted by someone at UPS.[/QUOTE]

That was me and what I deducted after speaking with a few reps and actually receiving one of the games back, was that it wasn't my name but the way i was sending stuff in. I'm pretty sure every lost game was a single game stuffed into a 6X9 padded envelope. They were all reused and tape shut to be form fitting with the game case for (in my mind) maximum padding and protection. The rep told me it was possible that the games were getting stuck in the conveyor belt during sorting. I thought this was a wierd suggestion, but when one lost one came back to me, it was torn and the ripped section scrunched up in away that looked like he was right. It had a bunch of skid marks on it, like a black tire had sat on it and burned out for a while or it got jammed in a gap in the distribution conveyor. He suggested I use a larger envelope or box. I have never used a 6X9 envelope again and no games have gotten lost by UPS since.

It's buried somewhere in the first post. I remember using it a couple of months ago to print labels after expiration.

Lock in and submit some other random item. Then go to the print label screen for it in the address bar at the end of the address bar there will be something saying TRN-xxxx

That's the trade in ID . Swap that trade in ID for the ID of the SR3'S hit enter. Wallah you can print.
 
That worked out great. Thank you very much Vigilante!
yeah 29.70 for sr3 i think is a good deal, it should be 30 new soon enough, right?

also i read your last film, lol, i walked in on my wife watching the Ten Commandments last night, haha. great golden calf and everything ;)

Amazon had my Signature Edition in copy of AC:R "Processing . . ." for four days before rejecting it as an "Incorrect Edition." I contacted Customer Support and explained that the GameStop pre-order edition is, aside from coloration of the cover and a small "Signature Edition" banner, identical to the standard retail version. I also noted that they've accepted retailer-specific editions from me in the (e.g., BBY B:AC, Target R&C All 4 One).

I ended up with a promo credit for MORE than my locked in value. And I get the game back.

If the UPC wasn't in their database which I doubt, then you weren't entitled to beg CS. smh.

Didn't beg, just sent a short and polite e-mail. Contacting CS is never a bad thing, and I really was surprised by the rejection. They've accepted a half dozen things with different UPC's from me in the last year and this is my first/only rejection in over 100 book & game trades.

The terms for books are clear and explicit -- ISBN has to match. Wouldn't take much to make the game terms equally direct. As it stands, they'll take something with no UPC at all, so rejecting something that's got a disc identical to the one packed in a product they'll take doesn't make any sense.

I didn't mean you were asking for credit from them. I just don't see further probing the issue as just cause. Although some trade ins with alternate UPCs have been accepted that doesn't mean it's a rule per se. I get what you mean but it's not a given they owe you to accept it is my point.
