What happens when you trade in games?

How much do you get?

Most Game staff are inbred yokels who don't know the difference between a PS2 and an Xbox.

When, in this topic, have I defended them. All I have done is stated what goes on.

Sure, I work there, but I don't in any way think they're perfect.

I know the majority of games are higher priced than most other offline retailers, but I could say the same about SR. They're higher priced than most online retailers - yet I still buy things from here.

I used to work for Gamestation and I hated them - I still do. They sell 'reconditioned' games for low prices - sure, it makes you think you're getting a good deal, but if you look at the discs, they've got a spiral pattern on them, and in some cases, the black on PSX discs fades.

No retailer is perfect - and I have my preferences. I can stick up for those if I wish - but I haven't done so in this case.

Wouldn't trust the opinion of any GAME staff in Nottingham. Most of them are inbred Yokels who look like they haven't a clue what the difference between a PS2 and XBox is.

Edgy, I know you work there, but you always seem to be defending GAME, when it's a really crappy and WAY overpriced chain. Give it a rest.

Mystique, the prices are at the sales assistant's disgression. If I know a game isn't going to sell, I give it a low price, if I know it is gonna fly off the shelves, I give it a high price.

It varies between staff members a lot of the time.

Another company that changes its prices is Gamestation - they're supposed to give whatever the till tells them to - however, they artificially reduce these prices a lot of the time.

From CEX (the game store I use most because theres no SR in sight) you'd get the collowing prices:

Rising Sun: £24
Pro Evo 2: £8
Enter The Matrix: £13

give or take a pound or two.


From game you'd get:

Rising Sun: £15
Pro Evo 2: £4
Enter The Matrix: £8

Absolutely terrible trade-in prices. I went there about twice but now I would sooner trade them on the forums or try selling on Ebay. If theres an SR, Computer exchange (cex.co.uk) or Gamestation near you - then go there and trade, their prices arent bad.


What game(s) you wanting to trade/exchange?

You mean...there is a store that sells games....other than Special Reserve!?

*faints*

The prices vary between Game stores 4 blocks apart in Glasgow.

If you work for GAME then the trade-in prices shouldn't vary. What with it being a national company the prices should be standard across the board. Not what the manager feels like giving.
