This is mainly a problem in GGD. Not a huge problem but there's seemingly always at least one of these threads in the most recent topics.

It's basically people asking random internet strangers, "How much will I get if I trade in a PS2 and 43 PS2 games?"

I realize there can be some fairly decent guesses but hear me out.

1. In GGD it's there to specifically discuss games, not throw out price guesses for people who won't take their stuff into the store.

2. The only way to get an accurate price on trade in values is to take the games to the store and have the clerk scan them. The prices change constantly, and different deals run, and trade-in values for different games range from $0.50 to $25+

Basically, they're threads that offer no real discussion and often the original poster can't be helped really. I just don't really see why we should allow them considering these things and it'd help clear up room for topics that actually are discussing things or helping people.

Whats your idea. All you said was that it didn't offer any real discussion followed up by "it'd help clear up room for topics that actually are discussing things or helping people." Do you want to ban those types of posts? Add a pricing to all games listings?
