Gamestop Trading Value

AlabamaFlapjack · 02-12-2011, 07:57 PM

I have a bunch of old games I want to sell but I'm not sure if I should trade them in to gamestop and get credit towards the new mortal kombat, or just save them.

Old ps2 games: Sims 2, Call of duty 2 big red one, gta3, dave mira's freestyle bmx 2, legion legend of excalibur, scorpion king, kingdom hearts.

I also have 3 ps3 games I want to sell: Elder scrolls 4 goty, borderlands, and guitar hero 5.

Now should I trade all of these in?

Edit: I wouldn't bother selling the ps2 games on the internet because honestly they wouldn't be worth much and I would barely make any money off of them. The ps3 games however are worth putting on the internet.

The ps3 games I listed were BARELY played, not a scratches on them. The ps2 games however have few scratches.

sell them to friends / try the internet

you honestly get nothing from gamestop

you could have a game in perfect condition that is a top seller and came out last month, and they will offer you like 18 dollars for a basically 60 dollar game (should offer you atleast 50)

Do you live in Alabama?

If so, Roll Tide or War Eagle?

A month after assassin's creed came out, they offered me ten bucks for it.

Ebay dude, or craigslist.

Yeah, you'll be offered next to nothing for those. In fact, I'd doubt that you could even buy a new game that was used for those.

When I go with my friend to Gamestop we regularly see them marking down trade-in values for games before they even come out. The clerks even joke with us about it.

Honestly, if you can't sell them elsewhere, either keep them or give them away. Don't feed the beast.

Craigslist. That's the only way you'll get anything close to what your games are worth to you.
