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!

*sigh* I got my Defiance CE back today, and while the UPC area isn't mangled like others have reported, it's got some other UPC and another sticker that says "Incorrect UPC" on it. Needless to say, I'm pretty sure it won't be accepted if I send it in again, so I'll have to explain this to CS.

On a related note, did anyone get their packing slip back with someone's name written on it? On my slip, there's the name "Russell", who I can only assume "graded" the CE.

So the original UPC sticker is intact, but it has 2 more stickers (1 with another UPC code and 1 that says incorrect UPC)? If so, where are these additional stickers? And was your copy opened?

You need to call Russell and go Liam Neeson on him. ;)

Finally had my last submission accepted at full value though it did take 3 or 4 days.  It consisted of Trinity Universe (at a lower price than it is now) and Batman Arkham City Armored Edition for Wii U (still at the same price).

 
Last edited by a moderator:
I will give Amazon one more shot. I'm sending in Trinity Universe without the manual and if they reject it, I'm out of the game. lol I can actually get it for about $11. Not to shabby, too bad gamestop doesnt have the original case and manual.

I can only guess that the original UPC sticker is intact--the two stickers I mentioned were placed on top of where it was, and I can see one more sticker underneath them (they're not aligned with each other perfectly, so I can see beneath them). Neither of the new stickers comes off really easily, either: I can hear ripping sounds when I start pulling very, very slowly.

As for whether it was opened, it doesn't look like anything inside the CE was disturbed at all, as everything still has a new game-ish smell (hopefully you know what I mean :razz:) and the actual game is shrink-wrapped. I did use scissors to slice open the plastic seals attaching the outer slipcover to the box before I sent the CE in, but I don't see any additional indications the thing was opened.

If it wasn't for the plastic seals being opened and the stickers over the UPC, I might have had a fighting chance returning the CE to GS, but alas, it wasn't meant to be.

But man, I wish I could go Liam Neeson on this Russell guy. I'm definitely going to point that name out in my email to CS.

Same with mine, except mine actually came from Amazon & not Gamestop. Yet they still tacked a "Wrong UPC" sticker next to the UPC that was printed on the actual CE.

Also got a "Crystal" do the grading for me I guess, found it odd that they wrote their name on the packing slip, but I guess it's the norm when they reject packages then?

 
Last edited by a moderator:
Maybe now they write their names on the packaging slips to know who to hold accountable. Their grading has gotten bad so now they need some way to figure out what's happening. I only got rejected once and that was the first time I ever traded something. That was like two years ago.

I am actually scare to turn my mine because of this defiance thingy. Kirby is worse since it actually have 2 sku.... one outside and one inside. Meaning they can reject you and nothing to do about it given how likely it will be to destroy thew upc. On a happier note... ym 2 doctor who season 5 process without issue.

The widespread rejection of the Defiance CEs doesn't necessarily extend to all aspects of Amazon trade-ins. Yes, them saying "Incorrect UPC" was a lie, but those UPCs were stickers and not actually attached to the CE (kind of beside the point, but that's the main factor compared to trading in other complete games). By contrast, the UPC for Kirby's Dream Collection is part of the back of the outer box, and I don't really think (i.e., I really hope they don't do this) they'll ignore the UPC on the outer box to scan the UPC on the box inside.

Yeah, I agree. I was hesitant to send in Kirby at first, but the printed UPC is more reliable than a sticker UPC, so I sent it in. Hope we're right. Lol.

 
I sent in a Kirby from the Blockbuster deals and it was accepted.  But Blockbuster had some weird case, so i just pulled out the cover and sent it as acceptable lol

Well, remember also that the value they are giving you for Kirby (what, $18?) isn't as outrageous as the Defiance TiV either. They can make money off of that, especially if it is still new (or at least mint). So if you believe they only come up with excuses when in reality they are rejecting for "pricing errors", there is no reason for them to reject Kirby.

LOTR:BME II and Trinity Universe accepted today at full Good value. 1 Code Lyoko still processing from last week. Hope this one falls through the cracks. ;)  

 
Trinity and Rock Band 3 finally accepted today. LOTR has been processing since Wed.  Ugh.  

Kinda bummed that there is nothing to flip right now.  I did beat TLOS so I can send that in for 34 bucks.

 
Well I locked it in for 35 and am sending it back out when I get it and if they accept it this time, im calling customer service and asking for my 7 bucks.
 
I finally got result on Defiance CE trade in. Even though my UPCs are identical to the ones in order, they rejected me with the reason "wrong UPC", and Amazon CS refused to do anything except saying sorry. 

Now my question is, can I do anything about it? e.g. try contact a different CS until they agree to compensate my lost? Is it even possible to cover my loss? 

Amazon is so bad that I want to cancel all my trade ins now. Even though they offer the highest for my Trinity Universe, and it's already on the way, I'd rather not do business with them again. 

 
These last few weeks have been too easy to move credit from BB and/or GS to Amazon with major "profit". Most games/movies were readily available and cheap (GS B'day coupon, B2G1s, DotD, etc). I feel for those "my PS4 and/or XB1 is paid off at GS" folks. That same $400/$500 in credit at GS can easily be made into over $1000 at Amazon by the time those systems are released. You can't even win any tax, time, gas, materials arguments with those numbers.

I sat out on both the GBA (and whatever else it was) and AWD DVD (?) fiascoes, so this was good.

Agreed. The last, like, 3 weeks, I spent more time here, on the computer, going to/from GS/BB/UPS than I have actually playing video games. Lol.

 
Here is another update for Defiance.  If you buy it from gamestop, try to use goo off to remove the big ass amazon sticker and then return if it is not open.  In case the upc is damaged beyond repair, just like one of mine, you MIGHT be able to get gamestop to accept return and issue you a gift card.  This work best if you go to gamestop at a good neighborhood.  I went in after my failure to obtain the half price vita, and explained that some freak accident damaged the upc (which is nto far from the truth) and I have the receipt, the manager is nice enough to accept to issue the gift card.  Also, you will also have a higher success rate if u are return it and then get something elkse with the credi8t right away. YMMV

Doubt another CS would help you. They take notes when you contact them.

I agree with this I went and cancelled my BF4 preorder I had paid off thanks to the b2g1 coupon ,b-day code, and $5 off any pre owned I was able to get lotr BFME,trinity universe,cross edge, Incredible Hulk,and facebreaker /stoked for that same $63
 
Yep, the only reason I'm even thinking about getting an Xbox One is from all these credit conversions. It'll cost me about $200 credit from BB & GS together for a one. I'll prob put some $ down with an Amex. I'll have to see how that'll work.

Yeah. I'm really glad I discovered this thread and have to thank all the people that contribute to it. My launch day PS4 preorder is at Amazon and I regret buying $100 in Kindle cards a few weeks ago with some GS credit now that I know I could've flipped stuff for extra credit. I've made roughly $70 in profit just from a few flips this last week and I'm going to GS tomorrow to check the condition of 2 more games. Unfortunately, a lot of the games that get listed are not available at any GS near me, but its still good profit for not a lot of effort.

Thanks for posting that. There's one in my area--hopefully it's complete, but the Acceptable value (~$26) is still a good profit even if it's disc-only.

Strange how a game with a large TIV like that doesn't appear in the daily tracker...Is there somewhere else one can find them, or is it just happenstance?

I believe a lot of people gave up doing GS->Amazon flips when the Kindle cards became readily available. Hey, more games for us that are willing to put in the work.
