1. You get ripped off. If you really want to sell your games, use ebay or something. Gamestop will pay you very little and then sell your game $5 less than new.

2. I always think of my stack of video games as being a part of history. In any sort of apocolyptic event, what if I had the last copy of Super Mario Bros. 3 or Ocarina of Time? Yes, that is a bit of a stretch, but that's how I rationalize not selling games I haven't played for 10 years.

They rip you off. I'm not selling 360 games that are in perfect condition for $3 each, and my other systems, are never leaving my grasp, because there is no way i'm finding another NES/Sega Genesis/Atari/PS1 anywhere arond here

Given that they don't pay a significant amount for anything, they don't accept PC games which the vast majority of my collection consists of, and that Gamestop is the embodiment of the scarlet devil, I can safely say that I do not.

If you sell games, sell them on ebay or if you don't like all that hassle for a couple or one game, do it on craigslist. You can get way more than Gamestop will give you, and people will buy it b/c that's still way less than gamestop will sell for. Gamestop is a rip-off for sellers.

What's this about selling games to Gamestop? It feels so.... alien to me. I cannot grasp the concept fully.

*Tony is now discombobulated*

I will never sell any game back to Gamestop. Even Superman 64. Yeah... I said it.

i was interested in selling just as the TC might have been. good thing you mentioned that they don't buy PC games as i wasn't aware. i was going to head out to gamestop after work to trade in some PC games for MP3 or Bioshock today. what a shame! also, seeing how the majority support selling on eBay, i guess i'll be doing that as well :\ was thinkin of doing that initially, but i didnt want to go through the hassle of shipping

No, I do not volunteer myself to me sodomized. I keep most of the games I buy. When I do sell one, I do so on ebay and get most of my money back.

I used to have around 40 games, and I would trade 3 games for 1...

That was UNTIL I looked at my collection and realised I was down to 7...
