I'll bet this questions been asked hundreds of times, but does SR give cash or credit for second hand games (and if it doesn't, it should)

It's great fun! Makes a change not having to kill anything or blow anything up. Quite challenging, especially on the later levels, and the target/sky canvas modes.
Also very relaxing on 'free flight'. Don't like the UFO though! :-)

I like it a lot, different and enjoyable.
No wizards or guns or large norks on little women.
Flying is nice.
Just wish they had "chuck Peter Molyneaux out" option.

Speaking of 2nd-hand games... how do we know that we can trust companies that take them and re-sell them?
For example, I recently traded in Shadow of Memories against Sky Odyssey in my local Game store. They gave me £20 for it, so I got Sky Odyssey for £19.99 instead of £39.99. Okay, that was good for me.
But...
I take very good care of my games, so everything was in mint condition. Therefore, Game *could* sell that copy of Shadow of Memories back to some unsuspecting punter 'as new' and for the full RRP.
I'm not saying Game *would* do that; after all they are a 'reputable' company. But they could, if they wanted to. So, what is there to stop more unsrupulous companies from doing so? I'd assume there's some kind of law or regulation against it, but who would know?

There are some mail order companies around which sell second hand games as well as new ones, and buy second hand games from people. I think this is what bewareofthetoadsoffate was suggesting. Still, I suppose you must know best, after all, you've gotten the company this big.
Special reserve: The fastest, most powerful, mail order company in the world.
