Took 26 PSone games in to trade in at Debenhams and got 99 quid.

I got:

Ready to Rumble Round 2
Gran Turismo 3
Smash Court Tennis Pro
Prmeier Manager - the PS2 one. (Which is pretty good)

Pretty good for a day's work.

I also brought some really cool expensive trainers and a CD.

Yeah! Go me!

AH! I feel bad now, damn concsience (SP???).

Smash Tennis - Cool graphics, good realism. Not the best tennis game, but it easily surpasses all the other Tennis games on the PS2 (or any other format other than the DC).

GT3 - Amazing game, wonderfully smooth handling and even better graphics, a classic game well worthy of it's place in the Platinum series.

Umm... I can't really say anything about the others, but yeah, sorry.

Why?

Smash Court is... Terrible. The only decent Tennis Series on a games console is SEGA's "Virtua Tennis".

Gran Turismo 3 is cool, but I had and exchanged it for Dynasty Warriors 3. I suggest you do the same.

R2RR2. One word boxing. Stay well away.

Never played PM so I won't comment, but the reviews aren't amazing.

Sorry about being a bit critical... But remember, always listen to the sock and ask "What's in it for me?" .

I'm not disputing that, I'm just pointing out it's often a horrifying figure, like calculating how many magazines you have and then multiply by £3 that sort of thing.

I know the money value of items depreciates over time, but work out how much you paid for those 26 games originally, then see how much of a loss you made.
