NEW THREAD HERE http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?p=10172798

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.

Hello i have question regarding PS3s.

I have a ps3 60 GB that still works, i want to do $180 gamestop trade in but the problem is that i bought a lot of games and rock band songs on my PS3 through a gamesharing account that was suspended because a 6th person came in. The games and songs remained but i read that if i move my hard drive to a new PS3, i will have to reactivate the account on the new PS3 to retain my data.

Since the account is suspended would i still be able to do it?

Could anybody tell me how to get a new PS3 while still retaining my purchased RB songs and PSN games?

[quote name='klimb22']Not going to start this argument again, but I don't see why more people don't get a PUR Pro membership.

I'd get the points, but hey...pay it forward.[/QUOTE]

I was there last night at a 'b2g1 all preowned' store. The guy had 5 games and I told him it is b2g1 (since the GS employee didn't) and he goes. I'm good with 5. :dunce:

Last night I decided to put in a last minute B2G1 PO at BB (store pick up) for Halo Reach, Halo Combat Evol. Aniv., and Borderlands. < a $20 flip, but I was just moving credit back to GS to put on the WiiU. I pick up the games at BB this morning, drive across the street to GS, go to unwrap the games and see that Halo Combat Evol. Aniv. and Borderlands are new copies and not pre-owned. Oops. I hope some one at BB doesn't lose their job other that. Anyways, the Borderlands they gave me was the GOTY edition which did not apply to this promo, but had a TIV of $15 so I made out $0.50 better.

Maybe a Central, Mountain or Pacific CAGer will help you out. Or pull a zip code from one of those zones, search GS.com and call one of the stores.

They likely are going up in value since a new Dead Island is coming out. Game Stop likes to jack up the prices on used games in a series before a new one comes out so makes sense that they want people to trade in so they have them.

The same happened for Borderlands vanilla and GOTY. Good for us.

As a veteran, I'm all for honoring fallen officers, firemen, soldiers, etc, but the way they totally shut down the road ways (all exits, all lanes of major highways during workdays) for the processions is a bit extreme.

If you start here choose iPod, then find your model and choose the condition yours is in, you should be able to find the answer to your question.

They only charged me a $1 refurblished fee for my iPod Classic 80GB.
 
Found a pair of titles from that PUR promo list originally posted by hoos first. The store manager didn't know what I was talking about but I can also confirm that once the PUR card was swiped the promo kicked in without any trouble. Nice to get a decent amount of scratch for two games literally just sitting on my shelf once the additional 60% was added.

Anyway here's some base TIVs:
:3ds: Super Mario Land 3D - $17.00
:360: Batman: Arkham Asylum - $7.00

Hmmm but will that mean the GOTY does not get the 50%? If so then a different promo might work better with the GOTY edition. Otherwise it would be $16 each with PUR pro regardless of version.

I was also planning on trading in Pokemon Pearl and Diamond, but to be safe, I should probably trade them in separately from Dead Island GotY so they get the 50% bump instead of 30%, right?

Yeah I am not going to mix promos. I have some 2 for $40 games I am doing separate to be sure even though it seems to allow both. Not sure if you can power trade and this 50% in the same transaction. But if I can get $21 for Dead Island GOTy then I will do it....just got to figure out how to do it. Should have left some balances on my pre-orders.

Edit: I guess you would get $16.50 with PUR pro (10%) :)
 
Does anyone know the base TIV's for Sleeping DOgs and Sniper Elite V2 for :360:? They're not on the tracker. I know they're on the 2 for $40 deal but I was just curios as to if you'd get more with the 30% deal.

Sleeping Dogs shows $22 as of 9/4. I doubt it's still that much now.

It's only like $14, I traded mine in about 2 weeks ago
 
So with the CoD Black Ops Coupon at best buy, I can get the game for 20 then trade it in to game stop for 28.05. Guess Ill pick it up when I get Dishonored. 8 bucks profit seems pretty good.

But you also have to spend 10$ on the mag itself

I really want to know what genius came up with this idea. Let's charge 2/3 the price of our yearly mag sub for one special issue to get coupons off for games that will be outdated in a month. Hot cakes.

Bestbuy and activision had a meeting and noticed how casuals love cod so much so both sides had a baby together,Thus this evil mag was born. However if the cauals give bestbuy more profit from sales of these mags then we win as that would make it even easier for bestbuy to make more great deals for us and more coupon stacks !
 
[quote name='specialist']Has Gamestop ever done promos for traded in iPods?[/QUOTE]

They've had "Bonus 50%" trade-in value in the past, but I don't think they have anything right now.

There is a 30% bonus on I-devices right now if you're willing to put it towards a pre order or purchase of select games (pretty much all the big upcoming titles are on the list) On the gamestop website, where it lists the trade deals, there is a banner that says 30% power trade on any item towards the preorder of select games, and when you click it, the next page specifically states ipods, iphones and ipads. The manager at my local store was skeptical of it working on i-devices, but I showed him the webapage from my phone, and he scanned a bar code in a book and I got the extra 30% when trading in my Iphone. I got $221 store credit for a 32g Iphone 4, and put it towards the Halo 4 console bundle.

Yeah,thats true. I bought the Mag though for the 15 off PSN. True it only came out to 5 off but 5 is better than nothing.
