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.

Yes but I was taking into account that some people do not have PUR. That is why it would be 1.5 for non-PUR members and 1.6 for PUR. But you are both right. That is the way I do it from my receipt, just shift the decimal on the PUR discount.

At the risk of piling on; (I'm also taking the time to include puncuation), I'll add that at Atlanta area Gamestops base values are actually printed on the receipt. Each item will have the base value and bonus promotion(s) for that item listed and be clearly labled as such. This makes it very easy to see exactly what amount was issued for each item.

Google image search provides a nice example here: http://cdn.dualshockers.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Xbox-Receipt.jpg
I only have used locations in Georgia and Michigan, and only received receipts in this format. I guess some stores don't use it though?

Actually yes, at least where I live base values are listed on receipts. Unless specific stores use a completely different format, I simply do not understand how these receipts are difficult to understand. In the only format I have encountered, I find their receipts easy to comprehend. Each item's trade value and any associated bonus additions are clearly shown.

Here's the example that Jack_Frost was responding to from a few posts up. If one takes the time to read it, it does indeed list base trade values. It has three examples and illustrates three different items. http://cdn.dualshockers.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Xbox-Receipt.jpg

  • The total trade value is listed on the right side following the item's name in print, under the item's name are individual lines.
  • The first line under an item lists it by some sort of inventory number followed by its base trade value.
  • If the item has a serial number it is listed on the second line under the item.
  • If the item qualifies for a promotional bonus that will be listed as the third line under the item.
  • The bonus from an Edge card comes on the last line under an item and will always be labeled as such.
  • When all of the lines under an item are added up the sum will be the item's total trade value.
That's it, that's all there is to it.
 
^ You said the magic words "...at least where I live..." Base values are never shown on receipts where I live when a bonus is applied.
 
1. Find TOTAL promo percent, ie If 50% and PUR do 50% + 10% PUR = 60%
2. Take total promo percent, divide by 100, ie 60/100= .6
3. Add 1 to the previous number, ie 1+.6= 1.6
4. Take total amount with promo and divide by number obtained from step 2 to get base value, ie xx.xx/1.6=Base

Exactly. The base value on receipt is a regional thing. As I stated, mine DO NOT have them listed:

Untitled-1.png
 
Mine don't show base, nor do I care what the base is. I posted everything I traded in today. I would be happy to delete my post. Jesus. If you guys want to add it to the main post fine take the time and do the math. I gave you the values I got after after trade in. Want me to look up your nearest gamestop for you also? Quit complaining and just take the values for what they are worth. Pretty sure you can figure out the base value if you really care to, because I don't.

My receipt is exactly like the one above.

Yes please delete your post. The OP clearly asks you to post base values. This is not for everyone else or because we are lazy.

You are not getting the point. In fact, if it was so easy like the other poster said then your are either lazy or an asshole for not doing it for the thread yourself. But keep being all confrontational when 90% of the people on this thread can follow the rules stated for the thread.
 
Alright everyone knock off the base bitching. I do prefer base values as it is easier but I typically take ones that aren't base and do them last. Put em in a specially setup excel spreadsheet that typically nails them, by adjusting the formula based on the current promo.\

This is not directed at the receipt discussion guys, that is an oddity I've noticed at GameStops. The ones in Indy look similar to sp00ge's pic, the ones in Owensboro seem to have the base listed.
 
Dude, PUR is %10, to get base just put a zero at the end of ur pur bonus. Its a trick from elementary school days. Any ways amazon sent back my game b/c it expired after being in processing it for 4 days.

Has anyone traded in Grand theft auto iv complete edition? I noticed grand theft auto iv value + gta episodes value was more than the value for the complete edition. Maybe someone has already tried this?
 
Interesting about the receipt format being a regional thing. Thanks for putting that pic up sp00ge, I didn't catch that you meant where you live and took it as a blanket statement. I honestly thought it might look different but it seems to be the same except for the missing base value.

As I posted, I have only seen them from Michigan (East and West L.P.) and the Atlanta area. I am curious as to why they use different formats though. Perhaps there is some kind of legal reason, maybe specific areas have laws concerning printed records for used item reselling or something?

Silly thing to wonder about I know but if anyone knows why this is I honestly would like to know. All I know for sure is that Jack_Frost and I get receipts with base values printed and klimb22, sp00ge, and JP (in Indy) do not. Oh and that we're all fun to be around!;)

P.S. - JP: As always, thanks for keeping the thread updated...but a dedicated spreadsheet! Please consider this a slow clap in the vein of when Rudy rejoins practice in the film of the same name.:applause:
 
[quote name='linkbear']Has anyone traded in Grand theft auto iv complete edition? I noticed grand theft auto iv value + gta episodes value was more than the value for the complete edition. Maybe someone has already tried this?[/QUOTE]

If you're talking about 360 yes trade them in as disk only so you get credit for 2 $10 or so base games instead of just 1.
 
[quote name='sp00ge']Exactly. The base value on receipt is a regional thing. As I stated, mine DO NOT have them listed:

Spooge's receipt is how it shows up in Missouri also.
 
Base TIV is what the OP wanted because PROMO's come and go and not everyone is a PUR Pro member. Simple as that. It also makes it easier for the OP to update the TIV's, just do it for the OP not for anyone else.
