What do you people, about trading in your games for just one new game or 2 old games?
Once i traded in 3 games: Diddy Kong Racing, Turok and South Park, not the best games i would think to trade in for good money i just did that to get Super Smash brothers and for extra pain i needed to pay an extra £10 to the cost of the trading in, i wouldn't call it trading in but part exchanges are just a complete waste of money really.
I'm happy i could offload South Park and Turok easily but now i think using Diddy Kong racing in that trade was a big mistake of mine, yes i thought Smash brothers was superb, but these kind of things are really bad rip offs.
Whereas in trade ins are perfectly fine and simple and are not rip offs, but this is very scarce around many shops.

Trade ins in shops, even online shops should be used most often then Exchanges that make more money for the branch and less to the customer, my games were put up for a large fee of £20 each game, but that's exactly more than the £40 i got with trading in and playing the extra £10 and lossing out.
EB and Game and many other shops are the culprits of this very daring scheme of theirs that people don't often see in the deals.
I've heard of Computer Exchange branches that allow you to trade in the old games you don't want for new games with no extra money to pay, so what do you people think about this?
