Hey,
Because I'm short of money I decided to sell some of my old games, and I was wondering what sort of price I'd get for this lot, and where.
Also, don't say special reserve because I live "Ooooop North" on the Wirral and the nearest SR to me is in Nottingham (I think). **Hint Hint** Please build a store in Liverpool or somewhere. Pleeeeeease.

Yeah, you can, it was in my GAME shop for 9.99. Can you download it free or something?

Hey, thanks everyone, I managed to get my brother to sell some of his old GameBoy/Gba games, and I managed to get £42 for my 2 Xbox games, and his Ecks vs Sever, Pokemon blue, Zelda:Links Awakening and James Bond 007, and his old GameBoy Colour. So I then went and preordered Halo2 for Xbox, and bought Day of Defeat for PC, but im rubbish at it. Thanks again for anyone who helped out with advice! :)

If they are in good condition, try GameTrader. I don't know if there is one in your local area, but I assume they are a nationwide chain having seen shops in Luton, Worthing and various other places. I'm afraid that the PC games will only fetch a few quid, but due to their good condition, they would be selling at around £2.50 (Tomb Raider, due to its age and the fact it's on Sold Out for £4.99) to £7 (Empire Earth) in the shop.
With the XBOX games however, I haven't the foggiest. I'd guess at around £15 each. But check on the 'net for all this.
Or otherwise there's eBay.

Game won't take PC games, nor will they give you cash - exchange for items only I'm afraid, plus Game do both your Xbox titles secondhand at 14.99 a shot, hence they'll give you £7-£5 each...
Try your local paper maybe, or if the supermarket near you has a board for selling items ? Without eBay they are your best bet, eBay's a bit dead at the moment, stuff is selling for stuff all in most cases - only reason I'm selling my Cube stuff now is that it's losing value every day....

It might be, but I don't want to risk selling them at less than at less than I could sell them at somewhere like GAME. And anyway I don't have a credit card so I can't pay the sellers fees.

It's one of those c**p "Sold Out" versions, and it didn't even work on my computer. It has the manual on the disk (I hate those low budget shortcuts).
