i regret

trading in my games. i traded in almost my whole collection of games. keep in mind i played them all already a lot but i still regret it. should i go back and buy some the games i miss or if anyone knows from experience will they still just sit on the shelf?

should i go out and rebuy them?

I hardly sell games that i thought were amazing. I had a friend that sold his PS2 collection and he regrets it badly now.

yea it really sucks.

doesnt gamestop have a policy though where you can buy them games back within 30 days?

I allways regret trading games, I've bought back a whole bunch of things. I think I've bought Blue Dragon about 4 times, lol.

Learn the hard way and don't do it, you have to buy them back if you want them now.

Back when the PS1 came out I sold my Sega genesis with all games, and later I sold about 10 of my PS2 games.

I regretted selling evey single one of them and over the past few years I have been buying back what I sold.

I feel your pain ;)

I`ve never traded a game in ever.. I`m a hoarder.

I love having a shelf full of cases, always SOMETHING to play, that's what I hate about Steam, no physical evidence =(

should i just go through the receipt and decide which ones i will really play again if i rebuy and which ones i probably wont?

thats what i did traded in a bunch of old 360 games and got a few new ones.

This is the way I do it:

Once in a while I'll get a whole collection of new releases; save up, trade in, go all out and spend up to a couple hundred maybe. Then, little by little with the games I'm finished with (or feel that I'm finished with) I will trade them in when they are still new and re-acquire a couple of the titles for dirt cheap thatI previously traded that I'm jonesing to play again. Anyway you go about it, trading in games is losing money, but I feel in gaming I'm paying more for the experience than I am for the product.

I've never traded games in and never will. Many of the games you buy today will be rare and become collector's items in the future. Also it's nice to see your collection grow and get bigger and someday pass them on to your children. Wouldn't it be cool to have your gaming collection become a family heirloom someday?

I still have my N64. Don't play it much, but I still keep it. I still have my Game Boy Color and my GBA (which I don't use anymore since I have a GameBoy Player).

Plus trade-in values suck. If you really want to get rid of a game, sell it on eBay or Amazon. You'll get more.

I've had so many people tell me to trade in my games so I can finally get a current gen console and I always say no. I won't lose my entire gaming collection just so I can get a newer console. Plus I love all my games. I'll wait and slowly save up money, thank you very much.

I will only trade in games that I've had for a long time and only really played once or twice. Yep, I have a stack of those waiting to get traded in for xmas presents.

I have traded in many games before I regret some of the trade ins, but most of the time I think long and hard before trading or selling them. My biggest regret was giving away my NES lol.

I sell them to buy new games, not sure if i will sell ICO but i know i can get about $60 for it..........X360PS3AMD05

On ebay/amazon. Not gamestop. you will get nothing at gamestop.

Btw, I once traded in half of my game collection (30 games, several acessories, etc, etc) and got 85 bucks. I was hoping to get a new console... *shudders*
