Any gamer who wishes to get some cash or even something more valuable for his/her old games and game consoles, should not go to Gamestop or EBGames.
These two stores, two that have basically merged together, treat your most cherished games and used consoles like trash. I went through this experience once before, you can literally purchase a brand new Xbox 360 game for $60, and stand right at the counter, and try to trade it back in.
Even though the game hasn’t even been opened, the asshole at the counter will then type into his death seeking computer, and then he will tell you that the game is now worth, $15. So, the entire game value somehow went down by more than half the original price in 5 seconds. So I have come to a conclusion, that these two stores like to get a large unreasonable profit from your used games, and obviously video games from people are worth less than the brand new games. With how lasers are now on next generation optical drives, there is no difference between a disc with minor scratches, and a disc that’s Windex clean.
You can go to EBGames or Gamestop, and trade in 20 PS2 games, and you will get back $90. You can’t even buy 2 next-gen games with $90, you can barely buy a SIXAXIS controller with that amount. So this is a message to all people who want to get rid of their games for cash, use eBay.
