But Gamestop doesn't offer nearly enough value imo, and the reason for that is since so many people trade in one game, it keeps driving the value down. If I took my copy of Madden 10 to Gamestop, they'd give me what, $.75 cents for it? Because so many people have already traded it in. Whereas I can go online and sell it for 10 bucks, because it's barely used, in great condition (I never leave games out, if it's not being played its in the case), and the 10 bucks some guy will pay is still cheaper than whatever it costs at Gamestop or other retailers.

This and I have been saying it for years on here. Fawk Gamestop they are a fawking rip off.

IF you sell a game on half or ebay you get so much more and it is easy you can even buy the postage on line. Heck trade it in to Amazon you will still get more.

Amazon
(For some reason it won't allow me to link to the trade in store, just search "trade in" on the Amazon web site)


Here is how I do it and rarely spend much on a game and sometimes even make money on a game.

Set up a paypal account with XXX dollars. Buy a game used off ebay that has been relesed for a few weeks usually a popular game after a week or two can be bought used for like $45. Play it until you are done and re-sale it. If you resale it in a 6 month window generally that game will sell for $35 - $40. Games take their first big hit in residual value in the first month. Sports games decline in value fastest and multiplayer games hold their value the longest. So you just simply buy and sell through your orginally paypal $$$ you may have to throw in a extra few bucks here and there but you will still be doing better then buying a $60 game let it sit after you play it or trading it in to Gamestop. I have actually gotton great deals at times and sold the game back at a higher price, I GOT PAID TO PLAY THAT GAME!

Really take a look at amazon they have the best deals going espically on new realeases, also the trade in store is a great deal as well. I have kind of turned to that vs. ebay/half.com. Yes their trade in value maybe less then say selling on your own but after you factor in postage and fees on the ebay/half sale you are pretty darn close and it is a much easier process. Amazon even gives you a pre-paid shipping label to send the games in.
