yesterday I went to Game$tation and traded in a GBC with Silicon valley and Martian alert, aswell as Bomberman tournament, GT Championship and Tony Hawks 2 for Gba.
All for Sonic Sdvance 2, V-rally 3 (gba) and a £5 credit note.

Im gonna trade more stuff in on friday.
Auto Modellista, Mobile suit gundam, red faction, Gungriffon blaze, Tony hawks 3 (all ps2), syndicate wars, abes exoddus, delta force urban warfare, music (all psone), smugglers run warzones for gc, and Wacky races, sword of the berserk, NBA hoppz for dreamcast. How much do you reckon I'll get for all that?

Im hoping to get enough for GBA zelda and monkey ball aswell as maybe MGS2 substance for ps2.

Sonic advance 2 is superb by the way, a rwal testament to good sega are at coding for the gba.

Goodluck! I used to work for them and I know they only give a fraction of what they're actually worth as tradeins!

No doubt that if you trade in a game for £3 (just as an example), they'll then sell it for £10

My advice, sell privately, or if you can, try SR for tradein prices. I can't myself because I don't have a SR store locally, but they've got to be better than GS's!

I'll give a bit of praise though, I thought they'd only give me about £30 for the stuff I took, but they didnt take take all of it and they gave me double what I thought I'd get.

When I traded in JSRF ages ago, they gave me £24, and sold it on for £29.

Wasn't bad, I thought.

Whereas, if you sold it privately, you could have got the £29 for yourself.

Trading in games has always been a bit of a rip-off for the consumer as 99 times out of a 100, the shops will basically steal the games from you.
A year or so ago I traded in a few of my not so good PS1 and N64 games in G*me, I didn't get much for them apart from a couple of new games, and I knew I was being ripped off, but I never played the old games (most of which I got cheap anyway) so I wasn't too bothered about losing them.
From my experience, shops don't give you much for second hand games, so it probably is better to sell elsewhere.

sonic advance 2 is great it really comes out on its own with emphasis on speed instead of platforming which will stop people from saying its a mario wannebe but the unlockable things are unreasonable 7 emeralds for amy
14 for chao garden which you get from the start in no.1
but im afraid because of the incredible speed the levels dont last very long
and i hate having to unlock the characters level by level
i just wanna play as knuckles

Sonic Advance 2 actually changes the style of play a little and thus keeps the series agood one, giving it a bit (only a bit, mind) of originality.

Stuff like the race style start, the boost mode, the extra moves available with use of the shoulder buttons, the new special stages, unlockables and new character, Cream. All this adds to the classic 2D sonic gameplay.

And it's pretty hard too, I havent reached a special stage yet, and on Sky Canyon you have to use the full extent of the moves available to reach the boss, again who is tough.
