"Tony, another decent idea."

I was talking with Cookie Monster and we both seemed to agree that a games auction site would be a decent thing to have on SR, for people getting rid of their unwanted games, maybe even get decent prices for them and stop getting ripped off by trading them in at game for £20, what do you think??

Apparently not, but i havent sent my money away to a mail order company without recieving the goods yet.

P.S i used to buy my Atari games from special reserve iam pleasantly surprised that they are still as strong as they always were.

Yeah, but they are not all as reliable as each other though.

I dont really like buying games from the high street shops, the mail order companies can under cut their prices every time.

Yes, I know what you mean. Some of my friends seem to prefer buying games brand new, for some reason. Sometimes a second hand CD might be scratched though, which can have an adverse effect on the game - skipping sounds, graphical glitches and things. You're probably alright with cartridges and DVD's though.
