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

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.
5.gif

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='cawthor']A few months ago, Gamestop ran a trade-in deal where you got a bonus for trading in towards a pre-order. I don't remember the exact details, something like 30% trade-in bonus. I purchased MW3 with this trade-in deal. If I cancel this pre-order, will they just refund the $60 msrp, or will they pro-rate the refund amount to $40?[/QUOTE]

On a side note, I actually traded in the first Record of Agarest War, not Record of Agarest War Zero, I didn't catch it until I read the receipt just now. Looks like the TIV for the first one is 18, but that hasn't been updated in awhile.

After seeing some people here couldn't trade them in, I had the same issue not wanting to carry them around. I checked with one in the mall on Sat, and they told me it was $2. I didn't have a use for them, and I figured $2 was better than the garbage. I was quite surprised with I got almost $5.

can anyone provide some insight on this MW3 promo "rumor"? it's something about trading in BF3 (maybe other games) and getting MW3 for $0.99. If this is true I might hold on to BF3 and bring it to GS instead of BB.

this might sound stupid and may have been answered before but, i can't find out if it has so i'll ask, i guess. do the trade 3 for an extra $10 and the 30% trade bonus towards select games stack? like.. if i traded 3 games towards zelda would i get a 30% bonus on that and then another $10?

Nope... You would have to pick one or the other. They will always try to do the 30% first. But if you do the math before you go you might be better off doing the 3 for 10.00
 
Damn!
That 50% (+10%) offer was a blessing. :)

Was wondering how to preorder and paid Zelda Skyward Sword and Mario 3D Land...on top of really wanting to play Kirby. So..whatever; went to the store with a few games expecting enough to at least get Kirby (continues)....

Base Values:
  • :ds: Pokémon: White Version - $13.00
  • :ds: Solatorobo - $11.00
  • :wii: Mario Kart Wii - $13.00
  • :3ds: Star Fox 64 3D - $16.00
  • :3ds: Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D - $11.00
  • :3ds: Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars - $5.00
  • :3ds: Dead or Alive: Dimensions - $10.00
  • :3ds: Pilotwings Resort - $12.00
  • :3ds: Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition - $8.00

...Total without the bonus was $99; which was already enough for Kirby and to pay Mario 3D Land. But with the 60% more; it went up to: $158.40. So, I could also preorder and paid in full the limited edition/bundle of Zelda Skyward Sword. :bouncy:

More than pleased with this...and Kirby's awesome (like the original ones, but with "modern" visuals); so now only need $10 more for Mario 3D in 2 weeks and just pick up my copy of Zelda + gold remote + soundtrack on the 20th. :applause:
 
[quote name='waltercartman']Nope... You would have to pick one or the other. They will always try to do the 30% first. But if you do the math before you go you might be better off doing the 3 for 10.00[/QUOTE]

so basically if im trading in 9 games it would benefit me more to go for the 3 for $10 because i would be getting +$30 where as to get that much with the 30% bonus i would have to trade in a total of $90, thanks for your answer.

i just wish there was a way to know if all the games im trading in are more than $2 :(

I believe you only need the iPhone itself (no cables or anything necessary). All Gamestops should take them, but be warned that GS is VERY picky about the condition it is in. If there are any scratches or any damage at all, chances are that GS will reject it.
 
Wow on that UK BF3 -> MW3 for $.99 trade up deal.

Love this thread, i'm checking out prices to trade stuff for MW3. 30% bump makes TIV very Amazonish.
 
Anybody know of a way to check the history of a game's trade in value??

There are a couple of newer games I'm thinking of trading in (Arkham City, Dark Souls), but the values are really low right now, so I'm wondering if there's any chance it will get a higher TIV later on.

Gamestop has switched to almost constant promotions but lower trade value. Your only gamble is whether you get a 50% or tiered trade offer after the 3 for 10$.

If you have a Gamestop near a Best Buy they have been running the extra 50% pretty much every weekend in stores with a competing Best Buy.
