WHEN REPORTING TRADE-IN VALUES PLEASE POST BASE VALUES & SYSTEM IT IS FOR.

First post contains promo information & useful information and frequently asked questions. Second post has the values for games/hardware for Microsoft devices. Third post has the values for games/hardware for Nintendo consoles and the fourth post has the values for Nintendo handhelds. Fifth post has the values for games/hardware for Sony consoles and the sixth post has the values for Sony handhelds.

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.

WHEN POSTING VALUES:

Please try to follow the example below if possible. If you feel the need to use the system icons, please only use them once at and at the top of the list. Also always post the system it's for even if it's only on one system or the value will not get updated. I don't always know it and I'm doing these updates from work to keep them as updated as often as possible so I can't spend time searching for that info.

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, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21,,,,

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 PowerUp Rewards 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
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.

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 PowerUp Rewards 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, 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
May or May Not Charge, Depending Upon County: Florida,

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.

Couldn't resellers potentially use this as a backup if they buy a ton of new consoles and if they don't sell, they return them? Or am I missing something that doesn't allow that?

 
Step 1: get coupon

Step 2: buy two copies

Step 3: trade the copies toward a new game

Step 4: get flagged and ruin the chances of decent coupons in the future

Step 5: get banned

You have to go totally balls out crazy, Hoarder-style, to get a GameStop ban from corporate. And even that can be avoided by simply using multiple PUR accounts.

A-holes can and do get banned at the store and district level, but if you're friendly, don't screw around with pre-orders, and give good surveys the locals will almost always let this stuff slide.

Step 7: ignore him because I redeemed 4 of the B2G2 DS coupons about a month back and was buying pokemon black and white 2's and trading them back between different stores. I think if you go to stores in different districts then it would raise less suspicions.

It's just whoever gets picked at the time. It's not about being like that reseller guy who bought 40 of everything.

You should have also gotten 30% extra for trading stuff in toward a PS4. You should go back and try to get it fixed. An extra $5.85

Are you sure about that? Are you sure it was Gamestop who has that? Not some other retailer like Best Buy, Blockbuster, Circuit City, or McDonalds?

Sorry if this has been posted before, but does trading in a system towards a ps4 or any of those games on the list give you 30% extra on the system or is this only with video games? I am looking into trading my extra ps3 super slim towards some of the ps4 games I am interested in getting and this will possibly give me a chance to get about 3 or 4 games compared to 1

Click to expand...
The worst thing you can do is cancel a preorder and not put $5 down on something else. If you preorder from CSR 1 and cancel with CSR 2, 2 gets a -1 to his stats. Moving money to something else at least makes it a 0.

Stats dictate hours in a lot of stores, so folks get really tweaked when customers repeatedly preorder to get a trade in bonus and then cancel.

Purchasing the preorder and returning it at a different store is another, better option.

Fun fact: I've been asking about the trade up promo and not one rep has said that they don't see why you wouldn't be able to return the new version back for full price. Looks like $10 rentals can actually happen. That is if you don't go the free 3 month used route.

That's true, but with the holiday return policy, it's useless. You already have a 3 month free rental.

well, if you were to get it used, it wouldn't cost you anything at the end.

I was able to get FIFA for $49.xx w/o the bday coupon and it trades for $50 and I'd have to pay $9.99 for the upgrade. Return for $60.

But yes, you're right. If you don't want to wait some time to get some luck, you'd do $10 w/ a new copy

im probably going to keep all my trade up games. Definitely want Fifa and Madden on Xbox one.

Also if anyone wants to trade for my Fifa trade up coupon for Gamestop let me know, I already have one for BB. Not right now but close to the 11/22 Xbox release date, I still have to return the GS one but I wonder if the coupon will disappear. I printed it already just in case it does.

the coupon doesn't disappear after a return.

Yeah, if I get a One, I'll be keeping all the games. But that is still up in the air.

 
I'm having an issue with the Steal of the Week coupon. Just ordered it earlier this morning, but the pdf that gets sent can't open with adobe. Is anyone else having trouble with this? This is the first time I've purchased something with my PUR points, so sorry if it has been covered before. Perhaps I have to wait until it shows up in my active offer folder? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You won't get banned even if you trade the same game at the same location, just don't do it too many times. I've traded probably 5 or 6 copies of Portal 2 at my GS lol.

To be safe, you can spread them out around Gamestops, but there is no set guideline to not getting banned, because banning is pretty much random and might depend on your store's leniency

 
So apparently when you combine the birthday coupon and one of the Kongregate $3 coupons it takes off birthday first then $3 then PUR 10%

Anyone think they'll be a console TIV deal soon? Thinking about selling a PS3 Slim I got but, don't know if I should hold out or try eBay.

You never know but I have a feeling that they're not likely to offer bonuses on them when they know that a lot of people that are upgrading are going to be trading their console regardless.

I'm having an issue with the Steal of the Week coupon. Just ordered it earlier this morning, but the pdf that gets sent can't open with adobe. Is anyone else having trouble with this? This is the first time I've purchased something with my PUR points, so sorry if it has been covered before. Perhaps I have to wait until it shows up in my active offer folder? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hmm, never had that problem myself. It should also show up under active offers immediately. Maybe the order didn't go through right?

Well, they did subtract the points. This is the 50%+ on systems coupon. When I try to open the pdf from after downloading it with a different program, I get this image, "We're sorry, the coupon you have requested is unavailable at this time. Gamestop Powerup Rewards."

Slightly off topic but I'm not sure where else to discuss it.

I was just browsing GS and noticed that the Disney Infinity Guide with Jack Skellington Cover is discounted to $10. It also says in the e-mail I got last week that if you buy the figure and the guide you get $10 off on 10/5-10/6. Anyone think the guide will be that price in store and it would actually stack?

If you pick up the figure and the guide in store, the guide rings up $7.99. Not sure if anything changed, as the "event" was yesterday, but that's how my transaction rang up.
