Estimated Trade-In Value
Game trade-in values depreciate over time and vary by condition.
Depreciation curve:
- 0-3 months old: Retains ~50-60% of retail price
- 3-6 months old: Retains ~35-45%
- 6-12 months old: Retains ~20-30%
- 1-2 years old: Retains ~10-20%
- 2+ years old: Retains ~5-15%
Condition modifiers:
- Like New (CIB): 100% of trade value
- Good: 80% of trade value
- Fair: 50% of trade value
- Poor: 25% of trade value
Platform affects value: Limited edition and Nintendo titles tend to hold value longer. Digital-only games cannot be traded in.
Formula:
Trade Value = Retail Price × Age Multiplier × Condition Multiplier
