NEW THREAD HERE: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?p=9832580

WHEN REPORTING TRADE-IN VALUES PLEASE POST BASE VALUES & SYSTEM IT IS FOR.


First post contains promo information & useful information and frequently asked questions. The second post is blank currently but is there for expansion or to revert back to the way things were. Third post has the 360/Wii/PS3 values. Fourth post has the PS2/GC values. Fifth post has DS/PSP values. Sixth post has hardware/accessory values for all systems.

Instructions on finding games in the database and inputting the values from different sections can be found in my blog post here: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/blog.php?b=14143. I would put the entire post in the thread but this is already kind of a large post.

FAQ
These trade-in values are really low!
While that may be true, if you combine the games with the right promotion they can work to your advantage. There are knowledgeable people in this thread that are normally willing to help.

Is there any way to look at what the previous values reported on a game?
You can search through this thread and previous ones to see what a game has been reported in the past. With the TIV Tracker you can sort by date and then go through the list of past updated values through that as well. Here are the previous GS TIV Threads: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15

Can I trade-in sealed games?
No. You might come across the rare GameStop that would let you do it, but they are going to open them anyway.

I don't want to get hassled about the values I post, how can I get the information out there?
If you do not feel comfortable or willing to put the values in the thread you have two options available. You can input them in the TIV tracker or you can send them to me via PM. Either way the database and these lists will be updated. Putting them into the TIV tracker does save me some time later on.

Do trade-ins have to have their original case, insert and manual?
No, however it will be YMMV on if they charge you a refurbish fee for them in that condition. Most GameStops wont charge a fee but there are some that charge for incomplete games.

Will they accept my game if it is really beat up?
YMMV. It really all depends upon the employee you get. Some will charge refurbish fees, some wont, some wont accept the game and others just take them without a second glance.

What are the refurb fees on games?
There appears to be set prices for set value ranges. We aren't 100% certain on the splits just yet. Here is what we have currently:
$0.25-$2 Value: $0.75 Refurb Fee
$2.01-$4 Value: $1 Refurb Fee
$4.01-$7 Value: $2 Refurb Fee
$7.01-$10 Value: $3 Refurb Fee
$10.01 & Higher Value: $4 Refurb Fee
This information isn't guaranteed by any mean and we are still working on nailing it down.

What are the refurb fees on consoles?
They are listed in the hardware TIV section, highlight in red.

I have a Collector's/Limited/Special edition of a game, do I have to trade-in all of the extras?
No, but there are a handful of games that their variations have separate listings at GameStop: Madden 09 Anniversary Edition, Battlefield: Bad Company Gold Edition, and a few others.

Why didn't the percent bonus go for my accessory for a system that was included?
Unless stated otherwise, and they are rarely included, the bonuses never apply to accessories. Except the EDGE card of course.

I traded in a bunch of games for the "Trade X, get $X bonus" promo and it gave me the percentage bonus instead?
I can't give concretes on why this happens. GameStop computers are normally pretty good at giving you the better promo. In the case of a percentage bonus being run at the same time as a "Trade X, get $X" promo, things can get messy. The system appears to only give one promo on games per transaction so if you had a few games that you want to go to the percentage bonus and a stack for the "Trade X, Get $X" it will regularly apply the percentage to all of the games. Your best bet is to do all "Trade X, Get $X" games in one transaction on their own. The GameStop clerk may say that the system will figure it all out, tell them you want a separate transaction anyway. As always, check your receipt before you leave the store.

Can I trade in multiple copies of the same game?
YMMV. The official policy is no, but there are some GameStops that overlook that rule.

What all do I have to trade in for a console trade-in?
Xbox 360: Console Unit, power brick, A/V Cables, Controller (wired/wireless)
Wii: Console Unit, Power Cable, A/V Cables, Wiimote, Nunchuck, Sensor Bar
Playstation 3: Console Unit, Power Cable, A/V Cable, Controller, USB Cable
Playstation 2: Console Unit, Power Cable, A/V Cable, Controller (Must be a DualShock2) *Fat unit requires either back cover or network adapter*
GameCube: Console Unit, Power Cable, A/V Cable, Controller
PSP: Handheld, A/C Adapter
Nintendo DS/DSLite/DSi: Handheld, A/C Adapter, Stylus

Can I trade in a defective/broken console?
For the most part yes. If it powers on but doesn't play games, they will take the console as a refurb unit and put a refurb fee on the console. The refurb fee on the console will vary on the price of the console so those numbers will change. You are still required to trade in everything required listed in the question directly above. They will not, however, take RROD 360 consoles. There may be stores that still do it, but official policy is to not take them in.

What is the difference between PowerUp Rewards and PowerUp Rewards Pro?
The basic card is free and only allows you to acrew points when spending money. The Pro card costs $14.99 and is basically the same as the previous EDGE program.

How much does a PowerUp Rewards Pro subscription cost?
It costs $14.99 and is good for a year. It also comes with a 1-year subscription to Game Informer magazine.

What bonuses come with having an PowerUp Rewards Pro card?
You will get an extra 10% trade-in credit on the base value of the game, extra 10% off the purchase of pre-owned games and 10% off new strategy guides.

Does the Power Up Rewards Card give me a bonus on hardware trade-ins?
No. You will only get the bonus for games and accessories.

What if I want cash instead of credit, what do they deduct?
If you decide that you want cash instead of credit, they will take 20% off the base values and promos will not apply.

Does promo "....." have a minimum trade-in value?
If the promo has a minimum trade-in value requirement, it will be listed in the promo. If it isn't there, then there is no limit. However, as with all trades, they are subject to manager approval so the manager could have setup his own little rule-set requiring a minimum of whatever.

I used a Power Trade promo for a pre-order, can I cancel that pre-order and get the credit or move it to another game I want?
Yes on both accounts. However, if you do a bunch of the power trades and just straight drop the pre-order you could create some ill-will between yourself and the employees you cancel on. However, if you look at the wordings on promos, they can remove the bonus trade-in value if they decide to.

I just tried to use a promo that has a select list of games eligible, but they say my game isn't eligible anymore, what gives?
Basically they have the right to change the eligible games at any time. They tend to update these frequently so as to lock out any easy/cheap games. It's best to check the eligible list the day of your trade.

Can I stack two different trade-in promos?
No. The only thing that will stack with trade-ins is your EDGE card. Some will report success, but this requires a manual override and is very YMMV.

If I pay for an item using all credit on my card, do I have to pay sales tax?
This varies depending upon the state you live in.

What states charge sales tax on purchases paid in full with credit and which ones don't?
Charge Sales Tax on Credit Purchases: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia
Does Not Charge Sales Tax on Credit Purchases: Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming
No Information Yet:

My state doesn't charge sales tax on purchases made by credit, why is gamestop.com charging me tax?
It is just the way they have designed their system. The best theory we have seen is that since you are only inputting the number off of the back of the card, it isn't going to pick up the programming from the specially tagged EDGE cards. Some kind of programming that gets input from their system that wont show up when only inputting the number off the back of the card.

[quote name='quasar502']Will the 7/$35 trade stack with the 30% bonus toward Max Payne?[/QUOTE]

Usually the system only allows one promo offer at a time. So depending on what games you trade in, you'll either get the 7/$35 or the 30% if that 30% is greater than $35.

If you trade in 7 games (w/ tiv above $2), the total would have to be higher than $116 to trigger the 30% instead of the 7/35 promo. If you're a PUR Pro member, would have to higher than ~$87.5.

Why would it matter if you are a PUR Pro member? You get the extra 10% either way.

After bonuses and the pur 10% bonus I got 134.94. I didn't expect this much and was surprised to see the value on some games. My mind was blown at how cool the staff was at the Gamestop I went to, the ones in my area have had some pretty shitty employees and that's the reason I haven't gone to one in years.

Question: I signed up for pur pro or whatever it's called in the same transaction as the trade ins, will everything still count towards points/contest? I'm just wondering because of the whole activate online thing.
 
Had an issue w/ my 7 trades last night. Guy wouldn't let me trade in my 3 copies of Madden 12, even though they were 1 per system. He said he would get in trouble if he let me trade all of them, so he could only do 2 of the 3. I said forget it and went to a different store. 2nd store gave me no problems trading in all 3.

[quote name='io']This really pisses me off. Whoever came up with the system that punishes the clerk for making the customer happy ought to be slapped. What is the point of making 14 trades at once vs. 7 in 2 seperate transactions have any sort of "numbers" meaning? :roll: It just sounds like one of those stupid things someone in a suit came up with.

I guess it is preorders per transaction or some such nonsense. Idiotic...

I did get somewhat hosed by a clerk the other day but it was an accident. Of course I still had like 41 days left on my PUR so I didn't want to renew it yet - mostly because I don't want the B2G1 coupon until the last possible minute since they don't last that long (as discussed earlier). But the guy apparently hit 'yes' when I said 'no'. They were going to undo it but apparently that required redoing the entire transaction and it took long enough for him to get through the 7 games and I didn't have any more time. So I just said to forget it and do the renewal. I was slightly annoyed only because of the coupon. Though even then I didn't know it was just like 2 months. I would have definitely waited till June to get it if I knew that.

It was also my intention to "reward" one of the better clerks with my PUR renewal. Now I ended up giving it to some incompetant newbie dufus who I've never seen before. So that kind of sucks too ;).[/QUOTE]

System starts telling employees to ask about renewal whenever subscription ends within 90 days now instead of 60 days. And yes all the metrics are on a per transaction basis.

Im trading in my ps3 copy at gs and re buying it at bestbuy. My 5$ reward zone coupon will make it 5$ total at bestbuy after the ass creed coupon is used so Its a no brainer for me :)
 
I don't want to derail this thread...but since we're basically on the subject anyways...you guys do realize that Gamestop is in the business of making money, right? Every single for profit, private sector company is driven off sales and performance of it's employees. The "Game Advisors" at Gamestop are just salespeople. I challenge anyone to show me a single company that doesn't have performance metrics and standards for its sales staff.

And before someone says it, no, not every company that has salespeople rewards them with commissions or bonuses.

Gamestop cares not for "not for resale" on the box, employee just has to look up the game manually.

Those labels are so someone doesn't buy the CE, take all the goodies, then return the game by itself since it would still be sealed.

im not sure how that fits. trading in games to get that much credit requires a lot of trading and pre calculating as just blindly trading stuff in to gamestop will rob you blind.

buying and adding to backlog is illogical sure. but its not quite the same as racking up 1000 dollars in credit somewhere.
