I'd say 50 bones flat. You would be lucky to get $5 for Tomb Raider and Street each.

Yeah they are selling Street for $45. As a matter of fact those ****ers are still selling Crackdown, used, for $45. Bottom line they won't give you a lot for those games.

I find that hard to believe. I traded in my Xbox with the snap on LCD attachment monitor, remote, 60 games, and 4 controllers about 3 years ago (had to buy books for college) and only got $250.

Because I went to GameStop. It's not quantum physics. Ever since then I have never traded in anything to any EB, GS, or anywhere for that matter. I keep what I buy.

No, that's status quo for all the exploit a gamers in my area. Trying to charge me $45 for a used copy of Crackdown which was a 4 month old game. That's ****ing absurd. Might as well go cop the extra $15 and get it new it's like, what's the point?

Go via ebay,

You'll sell em for more, guaranteed. Do a search and see for yourself.

Also, make freight reasonable. If it costs $3 to send, quote $3, and a game price of $10. Dont do a $1 auction and $20 postage, it annoys people, and they are reluctant to buy. Offer pick up as well, and save them money too.

I promise you that you'll sell for more.
People forget that EB give you $5, sell it as preowned for $45+ They make huge margins. Why give it to them.

You may also note that developers do not see a dime of resale revenue. We can tangent on about "what if's" but here is some food for thought. Maybe if the developers received a small slice of the resale revenue games wouldn't necessitate a $60 price tag. It's a possibility.

they wont see any of that money because after they sell it to the retailer its no longer their property its the retailers

it always pisses me off but the thing that pissed me off most was was mejier was selling kotor for 20$ new while eb wanted 35 for it used but their not always
bad deals i think the ppl at eb where u live r just dick heads but i get som decent deals sometimes i got a game at mejier and traded it for more at eb

EB and Gamestop only exist for drug addicts who need fast cash for a quick fix. 5 here, 3 there. Hooray! I have just enough for a bag of dope!
