What is the average trade in value for recently released games at Gamestop?

Answer 1

It really depends on the game if you go into the store and buy Halo: Reach then a week later decide "I dont like this" the game itself is still pretty popular and they will give you usually 10-15% of what it is worth but they do have specials if you sign up for a game stop card you will get 15-20% of what its worth plus special promotions that they are doing sent via email. if a new game is coming out that is in a series they will usually let you trade the game in for a pretty good price if it is towards the purchase of that new game. but seriously dont expect $40 from one or two games ex. I traded in all my games that I never play witch was about 60-70 games from various systems and I was able to buy an Xbox 360 60gb. it also depends on the systems popularity, at the peak of the wii's popularity "excite truck" was worth $10 for a trade in

Although there have been recently released games, GameStop has to make a profit for traded ones to be able to be resold. It is average 40 to 60 percent of the original price.
