Please fix the videogame trade in estimator

There`s a few issues with the trade in estimator & trade in values.

1- You don`t get the newly released titles listed fast enough some games are 7-12 hours long with little to no replay value so if a customer buys it on release day they could be ready to trade it in a day or two. It`s important to get the newer titles back on the sales floor ASAP in order to get games sold again.

2- You`re listing titles that haven`t even been released yet with HORRIBLE trade in values like "The Last Guardian" $14 base. You lost alot of trades for Ni No Kuni b/c you NEVER offered a far trade in value for it. And it could not have been a supply issue b/c the TIV was always weak.

3- Your trade in values don`t account for "rare" high demand or out of print titles. If you offer a good TIV for these and/or have targeted trade in promos you`ll get alot of attention. You can`t possibly have enough copies of Zero`s Escape Virtue`s Last Reward(PS Vita) that has reduced the TIV to $0.25 cents. GS is SOLD OUT of both new/used & demand is super high for it. Comparing KH DDD you`re missing something BB something really big.

Also, you need to re-adjust your TIV`s UP as demand changes. It seems that you lock into a TIV thst will never result into a person trading the game in & then down the line another sequel comes or something that impacts sales/trades. But you`re never a player in either realm since the new games are sold out & you don`t offer a realistic TIV for it. Basically, you need much more balance.
