** COMPETITION CLOSED **
Well, this was a tough one to judge. There were loads of good entries. A lot of good ideas didn't make it becuase they were too long to make it on a shop sign as a nice, neat slogan. Plus, quite a few people suggested very similar slogans but the winner goes to the person who came up with the best variation that we will use in forthcoming promotions.
The winner is Dr Gonzo for the slogan:
"Play, complete, trade, repeat".
Thanks for all your great entries,
Loki.

So easy that we are only running this until Friday October 12th (closes at Midnight that day).
At the risk of promoting Electonics Bou... Bou... nope, can't bring myself to say it.
Well they have a slogan. Only one. I think it is "Played it, Trade it" but of course I would not read their ads or be seen in one of their stores (so how would I know).
The thing is - we want a slogan too, for our part-exchange games initiative in the shops (which will soon be coming to the internet - mad fools we are). We take games in part-exchange and then we sell them at second-hand prices.
So the challenge is:
Make up a nice short snappy slogan which can be printed on signs in our shops, to let everybody know that we take old games in part exchange for new games (or anything).
Off you go then - please don't enter 900 rubbishy slogans. Just a few good ones will do.
There can only be one winner but you can enter as many times as you like. The best slogan in the opinion of, well me actually, will win any game of their choice from our catalogue.
Now let's see - my money is on Monkey with Attitude (if he is still around). But no preferential treatment will be given, ever.

They're supposed to be for game exchanges, Gaming boy!
I've got a few:
A Gameaday keeps the boredom away!
Special Reserve - Especially Reserved for You!
Not really, just games and films.
The gamer's gateway to happiness.
WOT?! No PG?!
Games? Yeah, we got games! And films too.
Two words: one with S and one with R. Keep the one with S in mind.
Cor blimey! We'd go broke if our prices were any cheaper!

-One mans used game is another mans treasure. Come on in.
-Trading and Raiding going on! Come in and trade your used games.
-Lame game? Tame game? Change the game here.
-Something new for something old
-We like cobwebs here. Swap new for old.
-When your mum told you not to waste your games because of the poor kids in Africa you should have listened to her. We know its not easy so we will take them and make use of them. Join the campaign inside.
-Pawn Shop this way: Games only (with reasonable prices)
(points to door)
-WANTED
Your old games bad or finished.
Reward: a new game
(This would be in form of wanted poster.
-Like the Lottery sign (Play here) but says "Old games" with arrow pointing inwards. Inside one points outwards "New games"
That's it I'm out of ideas for now.
