Recently there has been a new at Gamestop Canada which below is:
Trade More, Get More
  • Trade in 3 games, Get $10 extra in-store credit
  • Trade in 5 games, Get $20 extra in-store credit
  • Trade in 7 or more games, Get $30 extra in-store credit
Offer ends January 31. Offer valid on PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3, PS Vita, Wii U, and 3DS games. Minimum $3 trade value required to be eligible. Offer valid only toward games normally accepted in trade. Games must include boxes and instructions. Cannot be combined with other trade offers. No duplicate titles accepted. Trade must be in full working condition to receive full value. Subject to manager approval. Offer subject to change at anytime.
And so i have about 30+ games i know that are around a $3-4 trade credit which i don't tend to play anymore(mostly old games 2-4 years ago) and if i trade 7 games i can get at least 51 dollars in trade credit, the PS4 here in Canada is 450 and has GTA5 with LOU as a bundle. So my question is, is this a good deal to trade in old games and get a discount of a ps4 and is this a fair deal? Let me know your guys opinion, thanks

Pretty much this. Mom and pop used game stores are much more likely to give you a decent deal.

If you don't play them then of course it's a good deal because you're getting money that you didn't have before, even if it's a little

Other places and private trades me get you more money, but gamestop is the easy way.

So, do you value your games more, money, or time?

Don't trade your games in to eb. Sell them to someone. Post them on craigslist or something.

You should avoid Gamestop like the plague, I really don't get why so many people keep buying/trading their games there since they always rip you off so bad...

That being said, you should always turn to Craigslist/Ebay/Amazon if you want to get rid of your games.
