I posted some of this information the other day. I was so proud that I was able to trade-in my old TomTom Rider 2 using Amazon's trade-in program for $356. I used the entire amount towards the purchase of my new TomTom Rider 5 (or 2013).
Believe it or not -- they are now offering up to $400 for the TomTom Rider 2 as a trade-in.
I am a REGISTERED user of Amazon. Over the years I have purchased many products through Amazon and it is just easier to keep an active account with them to streamline the purchasing process. Because I always visit Amazon when logged on, I have no idea if the screens you see are displayed differently and it is possible you do not/will not see everything displayed exactly the same way as I do. I WILL WALK YOU THROUGH THE STEPS THE BEST I CAN.
1st, I logged into my Amazon Account.
2nd, I did a search for "TomTom Rider 2" A search pulled up the following screen. I did a partial screenshot of the information that was displayed. If you look carefully, on the right side, you will see a box labeled "Sell Us Your Item".
3rd, I clicked on Trade-in
At this point, you are taken to a new screen where the trade-in program is explained, etc.

You will be given the opportunity to indicate the condition of your trade-in. BE HONEST. WHY WASTE YOUR TIME AND THEIRS

4th, read all the trade-in information carefully. This was the definition of GOOD which I did a screenshot to help you understand what they mean. Trade-in items must match the EXACT version displayed for sale in Amazon according to part of the definition. I take this to mean: if the GPS advertised on Amazon comes with a RAM mount; car kit, USB cable; charger; manual, program CD, etc. YOU MUST INCLUDE ALL OF THESE SAME ITEMS to meet the definition of GOOD.

5th, you choose which category your trade-in meets. However, it would do you no good to exaggerate its condition because they will simply return it to you and you will have wasted your time and theirs. I had to uninstall the RAM mount, hard wiring, etc. because those came with my TomTom Rider 2. I would hate to exaggerate the condition, only to have it returned to me.
I was honest. You need to be too.
If you did not see the OPTION to trade-in, I would ask you --- are you signed in to your Amazon account. If you do not have an Amazon account, I do not know if you have the same options as me.
This is confirmation of my actual order and anticipated delivery date -- I did my trade-in last week. At that time they were only offering $356 for the trade-in (which was fine with me). BUT THEY HAVE INCREASED THE TRADE-IN TO $400 FOR A DEVICE IN "GOOD" CONDITION. You can literally trade-in your old TomTom Rider 2, buy the new TomTom Rider 2013 and still have $11 left over. In my case, because I only got $356, I ended up paying $33.95 for my new TomTom Rider 2013.
P.S. I USED PHOTOSHOP TO ALTER THE ORDER NUMBER, DELETE MY ADDRESS, CHANGE THE LAST 4 DIGITS OF MY CREDIT CARD, ETC.
