Trade-in value notes:
- In states CA (please add more), tax is charged on (price - TIV_promo).
- In states NJ, NY, tax is charged on (price - TIV_promo - TIV_normal).
- NJ: When I did an in-store pickup of an online-order, tax was automatically calculated on (price - TIV_promo - TIV_normal). But when I did an in-store purchasing today, tax was calculated on (price - TIV_promo). According to the representative, this is because TIV_normal is processes as a GC and it has to be applied after the checkout, so the tax is charged on that part. Don't know if this is all true to CA or other states.

- I've done in-store trade-ins a few times at Best Buy. They only do a cursory look at the phone, to make sure it matches the color and condition. They don't care if it is carrier locked or is still being financed. -RonaldM

1. Go to the "Order Details" page for your order on bestbuy.com. This page likely says "Shipping Kit on its way" for the trade in status.
2. Open Developer Console in Chrome. Navigate to the "Networks" tab and reload the page.
3. Search for "trade" in the search box.
4. You should see 3 results - the third begins with "2002..." for me. Click on this one.
5. Click on "tradeInStatusInfo" -> "fulfillment" -> "tracking".
You will see the tracking number of the return shipping UPS label. You should also see a "isBoxShipped" field that likely reflects if your trade-in kit has shipped yet.

I have not been taking many videos on my phone so far but I suspect I will be taking more videos going forward, especially with the improved video on the new pixel 7 series.
Free Google photos cloud storage is priceless to me especially when I have many Terabytes of photos/videos saved over the years that I can access easily anytime and anywhere.
Go buy a used Pixel 1 if you can find one.
Cheers.

Edit: in store seems very safe, trade in right there, wait a day or two for reviews, can always cancel or not pick up. $320 for my pixel 4a is more than I paid for it. Cash back sites are going to claw back points on the refund on the trade, you'll be lucky to get any, and then probably only on the amount you actually paid, same with cc companies, so that may be a surprise to some. Best I can manage was 9% total and that probably only applies to the $330 I actually paid. I actually opted for the 2 years extended warranty on the phone by using my Amex and only getting 1% back. Trading $12 in cc cash back for 2 years more warranty seemed like a good deal. Ymmv mtfbwy
