Amazon Trade-in Value Tracker

13 Apr 2011

This was a project that actually begin back in the summer of ’09. At the time Amazon had introduced a trade-in system with some pretty tempting promotions. However, there were limitations in that you could only see the most recent trade-in value with no ability for a history or a way to detect changes. Thus, the ativ tracker was born.

Over a year later and with nearly 700,000 values tracked, the tracker is still chugging along but needed a new coat of paint. It’s been updated with a new theme, some background improvements, better mobile optimizations, and charting utilizing RaphaĆ«lJS.

A lot of sweat and hard work was put into this project to make it easy to track trade-in values. So if you have some old games sitting in your closet, why not consider checking out the tracker and turning your games into Amazon credit?

    I am glad that you have posted this. I really enjoy using your ATIV almost on a daily basis. I would like to consult with you on a web project for our Gaming Center. I have a lot of time this week, so if you are free, please contact me.

    Best Regards,

    Very handy web-app. Thanks!

    Would it be possible to add textbook TIVs as well?

    Another suggestion:
    If possible, list the cheapest purchase price + shipping. This would make a great tool for finding money maker TIV deals. Also, could get you some cash through affilate links.
