I'm looking into getting a ps4 and need some extra cash. I plan to trade in a couple of games for said cash but I was wondering if I was getting a horrible deal so I might as well get the opinion of those on the temp.

10. You are always going to get fucked over by gamestop. Dont matter what you try to trade in.

yeesh, ok, a lot more protest against them then I had expected in the opening moments. I guess for local options it's disk replay for me then :/

Some of those trade-in values are well over 50% of new retail. Doesn't look bad to me.
And isn't Zelda LBW a $20 selects game now?

I was initially just going to buy only kh 1.5 + 2.5 but Blood Bourne got nocked down to 20 bucks but now I'm scared they'll charge me full price o.o

The scale is kinda inverted. You say from 1 to 10, how much you're being ripped off, but in the vote options, 10 seem to be the "Not a scam" option.

I say 8, following the latter logic. If you have the patience, you can try to sell them on eBay, but you'll probably won't get much higher price. EbGames/GameStop is a great place to sell your game. I got my PS4 for 100$ CAD by selling my O3DS and a bunch of game that I finished and didn't play anymore.

I actually went to another local game shop(disk replay) and they offered me less than half of what game stop is so it seems likr they might actually be good this time

People who are voting low must be doing it for the meme. Those prices seem fair and after paying for shipping and sales fees online, you're not going to get more going the eBay route.
Naw, I honestly believe that any trade ins are nothing but rip offs. There may be some good ones. But most is just bs.

i recomets stay ways from gamstops. as maybe recomend: ebay is place to go for resale! or small indi shops of use game.
the latter I tried and as I mentioned it was quite sad what they offered. I'm getting about 3/4 of my money back from these games(taking into account the 20% boost they give for 4 games at once. which is actually 30% since I intend to add 2 more games on now which the 30% boost is for 6 games at once

    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
