"Trading in games"

I dont know how many people have traded in their old games, but i have done it 2 or 3 times now, and iam consitently outraged at the cheeky prices the shops offer to buy them back, then a few days later you see your old game being sold £15 more than they bought it off you for. For a brand new quake 3 revolution game i was offered £20, absolutely shocking.

How much are they Selling THPS2 2'nd hand?

I remember saying this once.....

I have done it twice and I am about to do it three times tommorrow!

THe first time I got 10quid for a game with no box and no instruc.

2nd-20 quid
3rd- I am hoping for another £20!

Why don't you just buy games from sr u are making more of a profit this way.

This goes for anybody reading this topic, as there is a great discussion going on in the other thread.

Matty, go to the Tony another decent idea thread and let them know what you think then!!

Ive had problems trading games before, EB especially - They offered me £3 for a Game Boy game, £5 for a boxed Game Boy game and £15 for a virtually brand new N64 game!!
I dont bother anymore, you always end up being ripped off!!

Hmmm...that is strangly ironic.

Gave gave me £20 for Ridge 5, which is a surprisingly large amount of money for what it's worth.

Computer Exchange would have given me £23, but I wanted something from game. Quake 3, as it happens!

Well i got the game for free, so i have no real right to quibble, but the game has never been played and is still in its factory seal.
