20 percent extra on trade ins.

[mitchw01]

when i went to the local gamestop yesterday i inquired about trading in my gc games and they told me they are adding an extra 20 percent on trade price. I am not sure if this is going on in th uk but i thought id let you all know. (Y)

and does anyone have a rough idea how much i can get for a gc game when its traded in they are in perfect nick. because i have 26 so if ican get a good price i will get a gold sub.!!

You traded in your GC games!!!:o

I dont think Ill be trading any games in as if I give my local shop a fiver and a game then they will let me choose any other game:)

[linkofhyrule]

You're trading in all of your GC games?!?!?!!?!?!

nooooooooooooooo!

Well, it's probably dif. for each game.. so unless you list them i dont think anyone will be able to tell you how much they're worth

The horrible truth is that even when they add 20% to the trade in value, you are still getting horribly reemed by GameStop.

Yes they have some of the worst trade-in values but sadly in the US there's not really any other place to do it.. There are some smaller shops but they give you credit instead of cash, so you have to buy your games there..

I would just use eBay for your games. You'll get better value off that, even though they screw you with fees pretty badly, especially if you use PayPal. In the end though, in most cases, you'll get a lot better deal on eBay than you will ever get at your local GameStop.

I've never really sold anything on eBay though and I'm not really sure I want to try. Is it hard?

No, not really. Just have to get an image of it and then describe the obvious. That's about it.(Y)

That's too much work for me :p

Seriously though, I'll see how it goes after I sell this PC on eBay. If it's easy enough I'll think about doing my games on there.

Its easy mate. They have lots of tutorials so check them out.

If you sign up then got to sell and it will take you step by step to selling your item.

Really? That's cool. It'll come in handy for selling this PC and I guess Blazing Angels.

i trade them in and got 322 euros for them which is fair enough and i picked up oblivion for 45 euros hah it was the wrong price tag. special edition with empire book an coin aswell!!! i didnt mind trading them in as my bro is getting a wii and will get them back online.

If you buy a new game that turns out to be cack...coff lotrbfme2.....coff, then why not sell them on ebay?
I got my copy from play for £39.99 and sold it on ebay a week or two later £37.00.

ps-Dont buy it.
