DO NOT POST IN NEW THREAD UNTIL I HAVE FIRST 6 POSTS TAKEN OVER.
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='slowdive21']Zelda skyward sword 20 GS, 18 BB. 5-8-12[/QUOTE]
With GS's 30% + 10% PUR trade in bonus = ($28.00)
With BB's 50% + 10% GCU trade-in bonus = ($28.80)
or if you don't have PUR Pro or GCU it's GS = $26/ BB= $27

For perspective since you are comparing the two.
 
[quote name='iduncurr']Nah, it's mindless entertainment. They kind of went overboard with the in-game hints.
[like every time you could disguise to get away from the alert a press left button always popped up on the bottom left, I didn't ever bother look at the meter. Or when you are in a fight with a brute or something the dodge button kept popping up, same with the deflect once you get your shield. It's not bad just makes it kind of too easy]
I think the most difficult part of the game was unlocking the gold medal for certain challenges.

I pre-ordered 4 copies of the game.
:bouncy:
I really like steelbooks?
and had a pre-order at Target from a different promo so why not right?
PMd Fry's Ad for 49.99.
Plus the Target $20 coupon.
Plus the $25 digital coupon on both my two online orders, from BB, because my steelbook got backordered.

Prototype 2 has been super good to me :D
I'm still hoping there is a sale for $40 in a few weeks so I can price match again. :lol:[/QUOTE]

So each Prototype 2 cost you $60-$25=$35?
 
[quote name='LemonJelllo']Anyone know if the PUR B2G1 on used games coupons are locked to one account? Or can I send it to someone else for them to use?[/QUOTE]

Coupons are not unique to the PUR account. I've used PUR coupons from other accounts with no issues before.

Oh, I know. I traded it to BB for 28.80. ;)
 
thinking about trading in my xbox slim 250gb.

this is the first time i seen a 30% promo on consoles. usually its $50. not sure if it's good, going by the $130 4/29/12 price i'll get $169 after 30%, but i think it's better than the $100 + $50. unless they have some crazy PUR coupon.
 
Any way I can get the extra 30% trade in that I'm owed?
Went to GS & traded in MW3 $(23) & portal 2 $(12) but they said the 30% is only towards Max Payne 3. I preordered ghost recon future soldier & when I asked about the 30% extra they said it had expired. I look it up on the website when I get home & the offer is still live.
so will they fix it or not, any ideas?

Something similar happened to me but with a different trade in promo. I was able to get the extra amount on a gift card after showing them that the deal should still be valid. This was about two years ago so I don't know if anything has changed but it probably wouldn't hurt to call back and ask.

Yeah I would print out the promo just in case and just tell the cashier he/she is a filthy liar. Maybe not the last part but yeah, go and speak with them, never hurts to ask.
 
So I just called like 5 different gamestops to find out how much the old 360 with wireless controller would reads in for. No one would give me an exact amount but said "somewhere between $80-$90 after our promo,depending on the condition it's in". So after doing my math I'm guessing base value is around $65-$70?

Also I was wondering,I have a 360 that was sent into Microsoft a few years ago,do you think that means the sealed sticker was removed when they fixed it? Cause I heard you get slapped with a refurb if the sticker is gone.

Can't give an extra amount because the employees dont know if it's broken or something is wrong with it, but their estimation is right. You're looking at about $80-90 after promo.

As for warranty sticker being removed, if they check for it (which they should), they won't be able to take it in for trade.

Nice! After Sunday you get another $10 back for each. How is it compare to the 1st Prototype?
 
Really quick question. I bought a used game, but did not like it. For some reason I lost my receipt. If I go back to the store I purchased it from with my powerup card, will they be able to give me store credit? Thanks for any info!

Same thing happen to me earlier this year. fucking asshole actually said he applied the bonus too when he didn't. :twisted:
Depends if the stores still has the promo barcode in thats store system. For some reason when I return after this happen the promo wasn't in their system so I didn't get the difference.
 
[quote name='tepro']Nice! After Sunday you get another $10 back for each. How is it compare to the 1st Prototype?[/QUOTE]That's the plan ;)

I can't really compare...it's much like the 1st game except different story.
Except I actually finished Prototype 2...I think I only played half way through Prototype.
I kind of like the way they did their cut scenes though.

It's really repetitive either way.
Hunt/chase this guy, sneak into this lab under disguise, defeat these monsters/squad units, collect these files in a certain amount of time.

The challenges and events from the Radnet thing kills a few hours completing them/trying for gold.

Same with hunting blackboxes/lairs/squad units for upgrades.

I just can't make myself play it again to get my last two achievements...which sucks.

Don't get me wrong, it's entertaining wrecking the shit out of military bases but I could only play like 3 hours tops every other day.

Don't know if you're dead-set on trading it in to GS, but Best Buy is currently giving you a base $18 for Black Ops on PS3. There's also a 50% bonus with every trade-in, and the extra 10% if you're Unlocked. Just in case you didn't know.
 
Ugh, my ethernet port on my old elite has finally crapped out apparently and is no longer able to read cables inside it.

*yes I have tried other things it is the port*

I traded in my second 360 not too long ago for $150 with that awesome promo but now am looking at only $58.50 for one (with the 30% current promo)...

This is very disheartening. Any better ideas?

How does the Power Trade toward DLC work? DO i need to know the games i want prior to going or do they have some sort of list i can look at? Or better yet, does that work for PSN cards lol?

Dark Souls (PS3)- $10

Pretty disappointed with that since I needed around 15 and was expecting that but the last reported one was almost 2 months ago so I guess I shouldn't be shocked.

I haven't had the need to try this myself, and as result I don't know if it will work or not but would the xbox wifi network adapter add on solve the problem, since it routes the data through the USB connection?....While it looks like gamestop is still charging a fortune for them, you could buy a used one from them to test to see if this approach works or not and then return if it doesn't work
 
[quote name='Vap']I hope that was with a refurb reduction[/QUOTE]

No I am basing it off of the $45 TIV listed here and the bonus 30% then.

And about the wireless adapter, I thought about that but realistically would rather just get a new console at that point than pay to just get the adapter. Plus as of right now I have no use for wireless in my apartment and so it isn't even set up.

And about the wireless adapter, I thought about that but realistically would rather just get a new console at that point than pay to just get the adapter. Plus as of right now I have no use for wireless in my apartment and so it isn't even set up.[/QUOTE]

Just traded my 360 in and got $70.00 base and a extra $21.00 for the promo. It was the old fat white version with a wireless controller. Thats not a bad amount of money IMO.

Also traded in
Wireless adaptor G. $18
512 mb memory card. $1

Oh and thanks for the advice and help MSUHitman and sasukekun!
 
[quote name='MellowSeth']How does the Power Trade toward DLC work? DO i need to know the games i want prior to going or do they have some sort of list i can look at? Or better yet, does that work for PSN cards lol?

Also, does anyone know TIV for Starhawk? Trying to recoup as much as i can and since there is some stuff on PSN that i could use...[/QUOTE]

These 'might' get you the 30% bonus, since they are DLC:

When I got some cheap DLC, as the helpful people in this thread mentioned, I said "I'd like to put this trade towards 'enter DLC name' downloadable content." And, my trade in credit went up.

They work with the promo. I have the flyer and PSN credit/Plus subscriptions are on it.

If you want to save the credit and if you are cool with your Gamestop's employees just tell them you want to trade towards the DLC promo and just pick a game that has cheap DLC (I used ModNation Racers). They'll pull up the list and just pick the cheapest. The code will print out on your trade receipt so it's really quite simple. Of course this is YMMV as some employees can be d-bags about it and just in general.

And yes, as previously mentioned, it does work with PSN cards as well. My advice would be to get the cheap DLC though if you're doing a large trade and redeem your PUR points towards the $3.00 PSN cards they offer or better yet (and more bang for your points) get the $5.00 off any purchase coupon as those work in store with the PSN cards.
