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='bilbobagins3']Kind of assumed if you were going to trade things in to GS then you would like likely buy at GS .[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that is probably the correct line of thought. I was just making people aware of other options. The deal is dead now anyway.
 
[quote name='bilbobagins3']Unless you really wanted the new case, there was really no reason to do it. You would have got about $20 in trade leaving you with $20 to still "upgrade" day 1. The Saga Collection is still going to have 2 discs and Origins is download voucher only, which may suit some people, but most of us on here, I think, prefer the physical copies as we actually own them and can trade them down the road. You should be able to get Origins for around that $20 price without too much effort.

I was totally thinking the same thing as I thought Sony might actually put the games all on 1 disc as a super Collection, after word came out it was 2 discs and voucher though, meh.[/QUOTE]

So why the hell is Origins download codes when they're doing a 2nd disk for 1 and 2 anyway? 1 and 2 don't take up 50 GB.

Unless they changed the system, the computer should've/would've given him the guaranteed $30. So many people bought it and traded it back in last week when it was on sale AND half price. The way he worded his post it sounds like the GS rep just told him no and didn't proceed with the trade-in.

Has anyone else noticed that with this generation going on longer a lot of games are holding higher values at gs? Lastgen it was almost always straight drop in TIV and price over time after release. But even old titles like bully, left for dead, and mass effect have crazy high prices. Same with some of the spider man games from earlier in the generation.

Prices falling to the floor still happens for the most part...Check out Perfect Dark Zero, Kameo or Stranglehold ....but there are a few outliers as you point out....although what is even odder is that it isn't simply a case of limited supply....Mass Effect 1, Bully, and Left 4 Dead 2 for the 360 can be purchased directly from MS as downloads for considerably cheaper (ME1 is half the price as a download than a used GS copy) than what GS is charging for used copies. Theoretically, that should create a price ceiling for used copies but it hasn't, or at least, not at GS.

Not sure if they will or not, usually havent they announced them before now? (The thing barely comes out in 10 days). And even if they did, they'd probably only give 100$ tops.

As far as transferring goes, i dont think most stores are going to do it (Or allow you to even if they could). I talked with the manager at mine, and when i brought up the issue, he just said he had been thinking about the same thing the day before, but had no idea what they could do about it. (They dont have Wi-Fi).

I hope Nintendo figures something out, because i dont want to have to pay 70$+ out of pocket
 
3DS sales are good but I don't think that they're going to be pushing to get systems traded in the way they are for iphones and ipads. The stupid masses want their sloppy 99 cent games.

Left 4 Dead still getting $16 is insane. Might have to dig my copy out and trade it in towards Persona 4 Arena.

GS derps want it b/c it's the only NFS that you can "bling" your car out with. People like us want it b/c of Giant Bomb raving about it's use of FMV or the fact it's current the 2nd best NFS on the 360 (down to 3rd when the Criterion NFS: MW 2012 comes out.) Or if you can stand to not have the disk, it's a $20 download on Games on Demand.

People like us want it b/c of Giant Bomb raving about it's use of FMV or the fact it's current the 2nd best NFS on the 360 (down to 3rd when the Criterion NFS: MW 2012 comes out.) Or if you can stand to not have the disk, it's a $20 download on Games on Demand.

Crash: Mind Over Mutant is a similar issue (sells for $30 used.)[/QUOTE]

I've had Most Wanted since right around the 360's launch but I believe I only beat one rival before it got lost in the shuffle. Noticed the relatively high TIV in the list while I was looking for a 4th game to get the 25% bonus so I figured I'd unload it since I doubt it will ever get touched again.

Mind Over Mutant I got from Wal-Mart for $10 a couple years ago so I actually made a few bucks on that trade. Had to open the shrinkwrap to trade it in so that should tell you something about my backlog. :D

I have The Legend of Spyro somewhere which also has a high TIV considering the age of the game but I was unable to find it earlier. Hopefullly I can locate it along with a few others so I can get enough credit to completely cover another new game since money's a bit tight right now.
 
I'm thinking of converting my $100.xx GS credit to Best Buy credit and I have a B2G1F on used games coupon on my Powerup app. Anyone know of any good flips at the moment? Thanks.
 
Base TIVs as of 8/11:

:360: Darksiders $6
:360: Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon $10
:360: The Orange Box $11
:360: Need for Speed Carbon $5

Got back more than I paid for Spyro & Need for Speed and somebody gifted me Darksiders on PC last night. Now have enough credit to completely cover Tekken Tag 2.
 
8/11
Sony Bluetooth headset w/charger- $10
PS3 Wireless Keypad/Chatpad- $6.25 (no listing for just Sony)

Didn't want to do it, but I needed $10 in MS points to get the Amalur DLC before Tuesday morning and I don't have the cash to spare before then. Lost out on SW: TOR CE for same reason.

I used the leftover GS credit I had on a $10 MS code for the amalur DLC as well :lol: well worth it after getting the game for $10
