Welcome to the Official CAG Amazon.com Trade-In Thread

THIS IS NOT A FLIPPING THREAD. USEFUL CREDIT TRANSFER OPPORTUNITIES WELCOME, BUT KEEP THE PROFIT MARGIN TALK / SNEAKY OR LYING SHENANIGANS OUT

Hey trade-in pals! SENDING THINGS IN DISC / CARTRIDGE ONLY / GENERIC CASE NO MANUAL / ANYTHING BUT COMPLETE COULD RESULT IN REJECTION. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS. YOU MIGHT GET ACCEPTED, YOU MIGHT NOT. NO ONE KNOWS. IF YOU CUT OUT A UPC OR DO ANYTHING TO TRICK THE FINE(?) FOLKS AT AFS EXPECT IT TO BE OPENED AND REJECTED. THERE ARE NO HARD AND FAST RULES. IF IT IS ACCEPTED, IT WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY ONLY BE CONSIDERED "ACCEPTABLE." RISK YOUR TIME AND EFFORT AT YOUR PERIL!

I'm getting an acceptance rate of about one per day; it makes me think some supervisor is standing around with a glass of absinthe next to a couple of dumptruck loads of games...while the one responsible for the glitch is made to scan each item and recite its TIV with tears in their eyes. - Indigo_Streetlight

GENERAL FAQ (Updated 12/26/2012)
Can I post a question on this thread?
Only if you can't find the answer from below. And please let me know if it needs to be added to FAQ.

Can I edit this FAQ? (updated 6/7/11)
You bet!

Since when did Amazon start doing trades?
The program began in 2009 and is handled by a third party merchant, previously known as NorAm International. Now known as AFS (Amazon Fulfillment Services).

What kind of shipping does Amazon provide us?
Free UPS ground ---- USPS is no longer available for free. There is now also an option to provide your own shipping.

Do I have to provide my own box or envelope?
Yes.

Do all my games in the same trade-in submission have to be shipped in the same box? (updated 3/9/11)
Not necessarily - people have sent in multiple boxes for the same trade-in submission successfully. It's even possible to send half at one time and the other half at the end of the valid shipping period. However, it's probably best to always ship everything at once.

Can I put separate trades in to a single box? (updated 6/7/11)
Sure, and they'll likely be accepted just fine. However, it isn't recommended since you would only have proof that you sent one of the trades (whichever mailing label you used). So it can be pretty risky.

Can I send in sealed games?
Yes. They won't reject games that still have the original shrink wrap.

Can I add Delivery Confirmation and Insurance to my shipment?
UPS Ground already provides you with tracking information, and I imagine you could get some sort of insurance added at a UPS store or location if you were so inclined.

I don't trust UPS ground. Can I pay for postage myself? What's the address?
Yes. You're more than welcome to do so. Just use the address on the amazon provided shipping label and make sure to get some sort of tracking.

When do I have to send my games once I have submitted my trade order?
You have 1 week (7 days) to send your games. There have been reports of submitting trades up to 15 - 20 days late, but that is definitely ymmv and not in the written rules. Send on time for the best chance at success!

Crap, I have one day to go before my shipment deadline, but the website states that my deadline has already passed. How do I print out a shipping label and packing slip? (Updated 9/9/13)
Load up any existing order (if you don't have any, check your browser's history or just submit a new one to use the link), and substitute the transaction ID for the trade-in order you need at the end of the URL.

Some step by step directions:
1. Go to your trade-in page on Amazon and find the Trade-In ID of the transaction:

Trade-In Placed:

August 24, 2013

  • Total Amount Submitted: $35.00
  • Amount Paid: $0.00
2. Copy the entire Trade-In ID (i.e. TRN-1234567-1234567) to your clipboard by highlighting it and hitting Ctrl+C or right click -> copy with your mouse

3. Paste the Trade-In ID to the end of this link:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/tradein/multicondition-your-account/print-label/ref=trdrt_ya_yaprnt?ie=UTF8&orderID=

So it should look like this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/tradein/multicondition-your-account/print-label/ref=trdrt_ya_yaprnt?ie=UTF8&orderID=TRN-1234567-1234567

The Print Shipping Label screen for that trade should now come up.

How long does the whole trade-in process usually take?
From the time you send in your games, it may take up to 14 business days for the package to arrive. Most people usually receive their credit (Amazon GiftCard) in 3 to 5 business days, however.

How long does the "processing" status usually take? (Updated 10/11/12)
Usually a day or two with little delay at all. It may take multiple days or even weeks if it's an usual item/hardware.

My games were received on Friday (based on Delivery Confirmation), will I have to wait until Monday to receive credit?
People have received credit on a Saturday.

I do not have the manual, cover art, or original case for a game I want to trade in. Will they accept it? (updated 6/9/11)
While the details specifically state that original packaging is necessary, people have reported in the past that their trades were accepted despite missing some of these. This is extremely YMMV, however since some were also rejected by missing manual or cover art. On the other hand, older gen games; such as SNES, N64, and GB cartridges, normally get accepted without the original box and manual, but still YMMV.

It should be noted that with the new condition requirements (see later in the FAQ), you may be able to send an item in missing some or all of the required items (manual / cover art / case) and still have it accepted in "Acceptable" condition.

I do not have the manual, accessories, original box, original included game, etc for a console or accessory I want to trade in. Will they accept it? (updated 3/9/11)
The current wisdom is "probably not" - it's pretty YMMV but AFS seems stricter than they should be on this. Your chances seem to be better for them accepting a console or accessory without the box / manual / etc if it's older generation or rare. You're more than welcome to give it a shot though if you're feeling lucky - just pack it well and include as much as you can! Don't expect greater than 'acceptable' condition though.

My game is really beat up, what are the chances they’ll accept it?
This is YMMV. Some people have reported in the past that they sent in games in bad shape that were still accepted. Your best bet is still to trade in games in mint condition. Minor scratches are expected as these are used games.

My game came with DLC codes and I used them. Will my game be accepted? (Updated 12/28/11)
It is expected that included DLC codes have already been redeemed, so you should be fine. It is a kindness however if you have no use for it to not redeem it and let the next lucky soul who buys it from awd or wherever have a crack at it. Up to you!

My cover art (PLATINUM HITS) differs from the pic on amazon, will my trade be accepted?
It all depends on the UPC so just turn your game around, type in the UPC into the amazon search box. If the game comes up, then it's accepted regardless of cover art. Click on that result to submit your trade.

I have a game from a limited edition bundle, will they accept it?
If the game’s cover art has a UPC barcode, they will most likely accept it. If your game's cover states "Not for Resale" and does not have a UPC barcode, the game will most likely get rejected. Some people have had their games accepted in the past, but this is very YMMV.

The UPC barcode is not intact on my game's cover art, will that be accepted? (updated 3/9/11)
This is YMMV, but probably not. The UPC is all powerful within the walls of AFS..

I sent in my games, all of which were in pristine condition with the original packaging, but they said that one game is damaged and is now being returned.
Always pack your games well. Put a lot of newspaper around your games in the box to secure them and to prevent any damages from haphazard box cutting. People in the past have requested their entire trade-in order if it’s obvious the damage wasn’t their fault, and Amazon ended up accepting the rejected game. This is YMMV as well.

Can I trade in multiple copies of the same game?
Yes. Once you click “Trade in” for a particular game, you may change the quantities. Once you submit, you can no longer change quantities on that trade-in batch.

How many multiple copies of the same game can I trade-in (updated 1/11/11)?
Maximum of 2 copies within 3 a month period.

I locked in X copies of a game but I now only have Y available to send. Can I just send in Y without being penalized? (updated 3/9/11)
Yes, you can always just send in a portion of your trade-in order and they'll just credit you for whatever they receive. However, the quantities you submitted for will stay locked in that instance (I think) so if you, for example, submitted for 2 copies and only sent 1, you may not be able to trade any more copies of that game for 3 months (see previous question).

Will the Trade-in of the Day TIV stay for 24 hours?
It's been reported that there is a limit (maximum # of copies) that will get the promoted TIV so lock yours.

So if I find a good flip, I can just send 2 copies of that game and not worry about Amazon accusing me of stolen merchandise?
Technically yes, but do keep in mind that other CAGs might want to participate in the current deal, and trading in a large number of the same game will definitely lower the TIV of said game. Let’s be nice to other people. This is probably moot for most folks now with the per account / address trade-in limit.

Wow, these TIVs suck (updated 3/9/11)!
Really? Hrm. While that may be true, they're often better than other comparable places. Your options of what to do with your used games are greater now than they've ever been, so feel free to shop your trades around or just sell them off on glyde/ebay/whatever. Also, not a question.

What the fuck? The TIV of a game I just bought for this deal tanked! What do I do?
The TIVs on Amazon fluctuate depending on the number of trades that are submitted, and we really can’t do anything about it. The best course of action for trading in games is to lock in your trade if you already have the games or are absolutely sure that you can obtain them. You can always cancel the trade submission if you end up not finding the games.
LOCK = SUBMIT YOUR TRADE, Don't just put it in the cart.

Can I edit a submitted trade?
Nope - once upon a time you could modify trade in quantities of submitted trades, but that ability has been removed.

Can I use my credit on items that are not video game-related?
Yes. This is the other perk for trading in games at Amazon since you're not limited to just video games.

Can I use my credit on items sold by third-party merchants on Amazon?
According to the fine print of the Amazon gift card use, some merchants are excluded. Your best bet is to try it on the checkout page of your order.

Strategy guides? I can trade in game/strategy guides? Whaaaaa?
Go to the Textbook Buyback section (http://www.amazon.com/Textbooks-Trad...ode=2205237011[/URL]). You can either search on the title of a strategy guide you have to see if they'll accept it, or search for guides. The two best search strings to start with are 'prima guides' and 'bradygames'. Might try 'doublejump' if you want to trade in some of those. (Thanks eugaet)

I locked in some hilariously overvalued trade for some weird rare game/accessory/etc that I can pick up for cheap cheap cheap. They didn't accept it. What should I do? (updated 3/9/11)
The truth is that AFS can reject things for any reason they see fit. While some people have managed to get silly things like a $200 credit for some cheerleading game (or for a PS2 - just ask io!), it's sooooooo YMMV that often it's not worth the effort. EXPECT REJECTION ON THINGS THAT ARE CLEARLY MISVALUED. That said, as long as you're willing to risk it, go for it!

What's all this item condition nonsense? And how can I get screwed over by it? (updated 6/9/11)
We're still kinda sussing out the details surrounding the new item condition portion of Amazon Trade-Ins, but it looks like there's a couple things to consider:
Good Condition eligibility (games):
- The video game, original manufacturer packaging and all original elements are included, but shows wear from normal use
- Game still plays perfectly
- Disc may have light scratches and other elements may have minor damage
- Item may have been personalized (marked or identified)

Acceptable eligibility (games):
- Game still plays perfectly
- Item may have been personalized (marked or identified)
- Item may be missing or have irreparable damage to one or all of the following: case, manual, artwork, bundled accessories, UPC

Note that a game will almost certainly not be accepted if it meets any of these conditions:
- Game does not play perfectly
- Disc is cracked
- Marked Not for Resale (or is otherwise marked not for sale)

Consoles/accessories have some slightly different criteria, but the idea is the same.

Did it seriously just ask me if I wanted my game / other item returned if they refuse to give me credit for it? (updated 6/9/11)
Yes, that just happened.

Unless you're purposefully sending them things you deem to be trash, please remember to choose the option that has them return your item to you during the checkout phase.

Who is AFS? (updated 9/14/13)
Amazon Fulfillment Services (previously known as NorAm). Dunno if they changed names, were bought up by Amazon, or what. Not too interested anyhow.

Why does my package jump back and forth between states? (updated 9/14/13)
Look at a map of the involved cities and it'll make sense. Something to do with UPS hubs and proximity to the state border/cities.

Post away!

You would think after running this trade in program for how ever many years, they would know how to properly evaluate a limited/collector's edition game.

Now I'm wondering if this is why the TIV was so high in the first place. Because they kept rejecting everyone's submissions, their supply becomes low, which makes them think they need to raise the TIV to entice people to trade them in. Lol.

I'm definitely contacting Amazon CS if they reject mine. They received it last night so I should have a response in the next day or so.

Actually, what probably happened is that barely ANYONE sent one in BEFORE the gamestop sale. The Defiance CE is ACTUALLY a very well put together CE, it has a nice statue, very nice outer case, art-book, soundtrack, and the bonus DVD (I think it has the first episode or something?) so even after people wanted to get rid of the game, if they did, they may have wanted to keep the CE stuff (May enjoy the television show still). The TiV actually never raised, they had it at $75/71 for the longest time, keep in mind it is not a single person doing the trade in processing, they have a bunch, and they are still subject to human error in a trade in.

Every CE and LE is different, many have the correct or slightly different UPC as well, not to mention most of the sales of AWD are from dingers, or from regular editions of a game. So while they may be well trained at trade ins, there is no reason to assume they are experts on every single CE or LE game, and the contents/oddities there of.
The 4 (Two were of Earth Defense) games I sent out a few days ago got there today, so I am hoping everything gets accepted. I did give the option of down grading ED:2017, because if they rejected the good, I would still profit off of acceptable.


Look's like the 360 CE of Defiance finally dropped from the $75 it held for the longest time.

You guys have me worried about my 4 Defiance CE's. I hope I'm still able to return them to GS if they're returned, but I doubt it since Amazon is going to open it up. Just checked with my CC and they don't offer return protection on console games. Guess I would to have to try Amazon CS. =/

Edit: Anyone know the odds of Amazon crediting / re-accepting 4 x Defiance CE's? =/

Just figured out away to make my flip even better.

1. Go to bestbuy, buy 3 games worth $10 a piece at gamestop with the b2g1 deal

2.Trade into gamestop

3. Buy my 3 games with the credit pay difference.

4. Profit

So for $35 I'll be making a $88.34 in profit.

I'm hoping they just scan the UPC for your unopened ones (before they even open it, if they do) and realize that it matches the trade in...

If you can find those $10 games with a good TIV at your local store, then great. None in my area :\

You're just now figuring that out? Lol. Welcome to the "club"

 
I just got several trades processed and accepted, among them my two Acceptable copies of Code Lyoko: Quest for Infinity :)wii:) for $29.92 and two copies of Trinity Universe :)ps3:) for $73.28. \\:D/

It would have been nice to get another ~$6 for the Trinity Universes, but I can cope. ;)

 
The best buy used game fairy visited me today and I was amazed by the completeness of the stuff I got (save one unpictured Dirt 3 copy which was still cheap enough to be a wash as a trade-in to amazon).  The EDF copies look brand new.  Weird!

How many were accepted? Bought from GS?

Edit: Guessing they were bought from Amazon since you requested pre-credit, but I could be wrong.

Anyone else get their Defiance CE's accepted?

Just got off the phone with Amazon, she said I should wait until I get the package back and call in.  If the barcode matches up she said I might be able to get some kind of adjustment.  Hope this gets sorted out, I'm not even remotely interested in the game.

That's great news. Keep us posted. I might have to do what you're doing for 4 copies. lol.

 
PS3 black ops 2 care package rejected for severe damage even though its only been opened once to get the game out to play had it packed perfect so it wouldn't shift around in transit guess the douches just didn't want to kick out the $122

I started doing trade-in's through CAG about two weeks ago and I have about $120 Gamestop credit and over $100 in Amazon from just those weeks, prob. spending maybe 20% out of my pocket(Have a TON of store credit) and this is just great.

Maybe I could end up getting an Xbox One for cheap with all this activity come release day.

Love you guys!

These trade ins are looking more like it's just luck of the draw. A lot of people got their Defiance CEs rejected, whereas handsomepete's were accepted.

What are they smoking over there at that trade-in processing place? I sent in 2 :wii: Code Lyokos in the same trade and package. 1 accepted and paid out and the other is still processing. I also sent 2 :360: EDF 2017's and a :ps3: Trinity Universe that was delivered the same day as the  :wii: Code Lyokos, but they are also still processing.

I bought it from Amazon. I was stupid enough to try and get a free flip with it, locked in the trade in, got the credit immediately and ordered it with the credit. Now I'm stuck with the game, Amazon already took the $71 out of my account for it. Oh well, I knew it was a risk, but this is ridiculous.

Maybe they saw what you did and decided to screw you over.

 
So my plan didnt work. Bby website lied. So I bought goldeneye and then traded it in to gamestop where I picked up lotr and am sending that to amazon for $24 profit.

Gamestop will accept returns for new items within 30 days if they are unopened.

Well...Amazon Warehouse opens the items.

Even if they reject it for "wrong UPC" it might still have been opened

Yep. They're most likely opened. In the event that they're denied, I'm not sure what to do other than pray GS will accept them back. If not, might have to ask Amazon CS to do something. Think they'd help or if I might get banned for asking? =/

Why are you guys so worried about the Defiance CEs being rejected? Assuming you verified the UPC before sending it/them in (if you didn't, then I understand your concern), they shouldn't do much more than scan the UPC to verify that it's the right product and look it over briefly to ensure that it isn't in totally crappy condition before moving on to the next trade-in item to grade. I doubt they have that much time to dedicate to looking through treasure-chest CEs before stamping their approval on the trades.

Then again, I could be full of it and they actually do that, in which case there's nothing you can do anyway but pray. :pray:

Bought LOTR for $20 shipped on eBay with all the good stuff.

You guys think that's a good deal?

Hope it gets here in time--if not, maybe I could ship it after the deadline. I've never done that before.

 
Yea I wouldn't worry about it.

If it did get rejected, call Amazon CS and if that doesnt work just sell it on eBay.  You'll still get more money than what you paid :D

I'd print out the shipping label ASAP just so you have it; once 1 week passes after the day you locked in the trade, you won't be able to access it. As for shipping after the deadline, you'll be fine as long as you ship it within a second week (so within 2 weeks since you initially locked in the trade).

You think so? I'm a little worried about Amazon CS helping with credit towards 4 copies of Defiance CE. Having a hard time gauging the value of everything on eBay. Paid around $57 a copy w/ tax and shipping included. Think it'd be better to break everything up?

Someone tell me why I shouldn't by an Xbox One after all this credit I'm building...
Click to expand...
Because you don't have a PS4 paid off yet? ;) I've been thinking that myself lately but it's like I've personally missed out on so much PS3 stuff, there's a ton more current gen games coming out in the next year and a half at least, lots of upcoming Vita and 3DS games as well so why make the jump? The hardware's probably going to have it's issues and get refined sooner than later, it won't play my current stuff, and there won't be any cheap games available for it for a good while. I'm sure in a year or two when something irresistibly amazing looking comes out I'll kick myself for not getting it when I had piles of credit at my disposal but then I would probably be kicking myself now when I'm scrimping to grab things (not that I haven't been blowing that credit on games I never meant to buy too >.<).

So far I have both paid off. If it wasn't for my son I'd probably pass on the One, but he is a 360 fanboy. And I'm only considering it at all because I have the cheap credit. I'm just not sure what we'd be playing on it the first 6 months which might result in my cancelling the order before launch. At least with the PS4 I know I'll get a few things via PS+.

You think that's crazy? You should see the blueprints for the house that hoarder's planning to build out of PS3s and Xones that he's already paid off!

 
Well, and just to be clear (as I didn't realize this was the Amazon trade-in thread when I first posted), I haven't made $100's off of Amazon trade-ins.  But I have from Gamestop trade-ins and with GS selling Kindle cards I have pulled over enough to pay for my X1 preorder at Amazon with that.  However, I do try to transfer GS credit to Amazon in better ways when I can (like with Trinity Universe and that LOTR game).

 
To all of you above, yep, you're right. The only thing that's keeping me off the next-gen pre-order(I'm an Xbox guy, so the One is what I want) is of course the price tag--that's a bit too much. Secondly, just to avoid all the bugs and problems that'll come within the last batch. Last thing, no next-gen game really catches my eye, yet. I'll get one before the new Halo comes out, so by then, hopefully an offer or sale comes around. Just don't wanna jump on it quite yet.
