First post contains promo information & useful information and frequently asked questions. Second post has the values for games for Microsoft devices. Third post has the values for games for Nintendo devices. Fourth post has the values for games for Sony devices. Fifth post hardware values. Sixth post is open for expansion/reorganization.

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, 16,,,,,,,,

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.

If I buy a used copy of a game that requires an online pass for multiplayer, will it come with an online pass?
If you purchase a used title published by either Sony or WB you get an online pass from GS on your receipt. That's also why the used copies are $55 instead of $48 when the MSRP is $60.

No GS issued passes of games published by EA, THQ, etc. On those titles you're totally dependent on the previous owner not using the code.

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='jza1218']If you have anything pre-ordered with that GS, make sure you cancel your preorders with her.[/QUOTE]

You know the funny thing is that she would have gotten a pre-order with me if she would have just tried to do the dang Power Reward. Instead, I did not pre-order anything.
 
[quote name='KtMack23']Which location was this?[/QUOTE]

It was the one by the Mall (not inside)...next to the TJ Max. Normally no issues with that store but the shorter girl with the brown hair and glasses (Kami from the receipt) kept insisting the Power Reward did not apply to accessories. The other thing was there were 2 other employees there that said nothing.
 
[quote name='cancerman1120']So the GS employee straight up lied to me today I now realize. I wanted to use the Power Trade (30%) for the Wii Hardware and accessories I had. She insisted that no pre-order would allow me to get this to apply to hardware and accessories. She said I could get the 30% on the hardware with that bonus. I am read the Power trade conditions right now and it states.

Extra 30% when you trade any items toward a new copy of these games*
(includes games, hardware, accessories, and iPod. iPhone and iPad devices)

Well fuck her. I hate it when I know more than the dam employee of the company and they just fucking lie instead of actually looking it up. She looked me straight in the eye and said no pre-order EVER gives a bonus to accessories.

Now the total it cost me was $6.45 so it is not a huge deal from a monetary standpoint but from a dam doing your job right standpoint it pisses me off.[/QUOTE]

How much did they offer for the wii $30?
 
[quote name='209chromatic']How much did they offer for the wii $30?[/QUOTE]

Yeah I got $39 with the hardware bonus (30%). My sister just wanted it gone.
 
Went by BB again to renew my @Gamer, gave me another mag, so I used the coupons again for...walked over to GS and traded them to get new RNC.
Battlefield 3.....16.00
Prototype 2.....25.60

total....41.60

also, she didn't take the coupon, thinking about going again before sunday, and ended up with an extra ONLINE pass code.

Normally I have not had any issues with that store and even with her but maybe she was just not aware of the power trade since it started about 10 days ago.

Going to trade 20 more games between BBY and GS tomorrow. I am just done with collecting so many games I will either never play or won't have time for. Just counting RPGs I could be playing forever.

Now you do the survey and give all 1's and explain in the comments what happened and that you would like someone to contact you. Then you sabatage this bitch. Go in and place a ton of $5 preorders with other employees and go in when she's working and cancel them all with her. Sure, it's a vindictive dick move, but sometimes it's justified.

I did the pre-order move once to someone at a local store. He been attempting to screw me over on some trades earlier in the week and was lying through his teeth. Also tried to hit me with a bunch of refurbs. I went in on a day I knew he was working and did that. The guy tried to say I could only cancel one pre-order a day and I politely told him that was a load. What he didn't know was that I am fairly good friends with store manager because we hang out at the same bar. So I gave him a call, employee still thought I was full of shit, and then the store phone rang. It was awesome. Now I wouldn't do that in most scenarios but this guy is a massive prick, one of these college kids who just has that know-it-all attitude.
 
Yeah I am going to let this slide only because the store in general and she has actually been good in the past. But I hope now that I am a regular there it does not increase in frequency.

Do not sign until you can see all the TIV. If a game dropped you might not want to trade it in. As well as the refurb fee bullshit. I've taken a game back because of this, then they act like oh wait that was a mistake let me take that for you...

[quote name='whitereflection']Did you actually sell those PS2 RPGs? I would've bought your entire bundle except for Kirby.[/QUOTE]
Yep. Could have gotten a few more bucks for some of them on Amazon, but since I was already trading in something, I didn't really have any interest in going through the process of boxing and shipping. eBay didn't tell me any of them were worth more than $10, so also not worth the time.
 
Here's what I traded in to pre-order Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (was given 50% trade-in bonus instead of 30% and I still have my PUR Pro card):
Halo Reach (360): $13 w/ $6.50 trade promo and $1.30 PUR bonus = $20.80
Warhawk (PS3): $0.25 w/ $0.12 trade promo and $0.02 PUR bonus = $0.39
Uncharted 2 (PS3): $4.00 w/ $2.00 trade promo and $0.40 PUR bonus = $6.40
360 Wireless Controller: $22.50 w/ $2.25 PUR bonus = $24.75

Total = $52.34

Aside from Warhawk's value (I can't see myself playing this anymore), I think this was a good trade off. I only had to pay 8 bucks to finish the pre-order.

[quote name='botticus']Yep. Could have gotten a few more bucks for some of them on Amazon, but since I was already trading in something, I didn't really have any interest in going through the process of boxing and shipping. eBay didn't tell me any of them were worth more than $10, so also not worth the time.[/QUOTE]

Don't worry, they were in pretty crappy shape originally bought from GameStop, so I'm guessing you can get better quality from eBay for the same price everyone apparently would have been offering me!
 
[quote name='MeteoSparkZero']Here's what I traded in to pre-order Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (was given 50% trade-in bonus instead of 30% and I still have my PUR Pro card):
Halo Reach (360): $13 w/ $6.50 trade promo and $1.30 PUR bonus = $20.80
Warhawk (PS3): $0.25 w/ $0.12 trade promo and $0.02 PUR bonus = $0.39
Uncharted 2 (PS3): $4.00 w/ $2.00 trade promo and $0.40 PUR bonus = $6.40
360 Wireless Controller: $22.50 w/ $2.25 PUR bonus = $24.75

Total = $52.34

Aside from Warhawk's value (I can't see myself playing this anymore), I think this was a good trade off. I only had to pay 8 bucks to finish the pre-order.[/QUOTE]

You got jobbed on the controller. Accessories get an extra 30% credit when traded toward select games an TTT2 is one of those games.

Yeah that seems to be happening. That bonus is supposed to last till 12/16 so I might try and trade a few controllers in for Halo 4. I was denied yesterday also so I would print out the webpage with the included items and games.

Seriously? Dang, it's always something. Should I inform them about it?

It's up to you. I would. You should've gotten an extra $6.75, which would've cut down on that 8 bucks out of pocket.

Yeh, same thing happened to me. I traded in a game for the 50% and the accessories didn't get the extra 30%. I think GS' registers have a hard time processing 2 different promos at the same time. I would recommend separate transactions for multiple promos, even if it's the same one. I didn't get the right amount of credit when I did 3 sets of 7 for one of the 3/5/7 promos in one transaction. I would also think this information is OP-worthy.
 
I had them scan the coupon code out of their "store advertised specials" book to get my 30% bonus on the controllers. The manager thanked me for running through it with him, he didnt realize the accessories got the bonus with this promo. Also heard previously here, you might need separate transaction if you have games, maybe the two promos don't play nice. Cheers!

Edit: Panda911 beat me to it.

Would've gotten $6 or $6.30 (with GCU) at best buy. Just sold my copies of kz2/kz3 there to prepare for the collection as well.

It always pays to shop around and see what store/website will give you the best value.
 
I would rather just keep or give a game away before I would trade it in for .50 or $1.00. There is no way people would sell them to someone that cheap so why trade in at those prices? I went by GS today 9/8/12 to check values but BB's base values were the same or higher on all of them.

Base GS values:

PS3

Ratchet & Clank All for One $5.00
Naughty Bear $5.00
Green Latern $4.50
Hot Shots Golf Out of Bounds $4.50
Hasbro Family Game Night 4 $5.00
 
I got rid of some $1 games today at BBY ($2 after bonus) only because I got them cheap and I needed them off the shelf. I think I got rid of Pure, Watchmen, and Alone in the Dark for $1 or less. I needed to purge some game as some mental relief from the backlog. It most likely sounds stupid but I seem to play less with a large backlog because I can never decide what to start.
