Gamestop gave me 50 bucks for my ds lite

That is good advise to give.

Oh well, Just learn your lesson from this, get a new one, and dont trade it off this time! If new games are still being made for it, its almost bound to happen that one will come your interested in.

I got an idea! Hang around Game Stop and wait to see if any one else trades in a good lookin' DS Lite, and after the empoyees tell that person how much he can get for the DS ($50) offer $10 more if that person sells their DS to you! In the end you have only lost about $10. And Game Stop gets crushed, especially if you do this right in front of the employee!

You may have to wait around there for a while though, because I doubt many people trade in their DS.

I really really want to play that game, but i don't have enough cash. I guess i will just have to trade in all my ps2, cube, and pc games and see if they will give me enough credits to buy my ds lite back. If it comes short, i think i will just let a gamestop clerk suck all my blood. Cause I really don't have anything else to trade in.

i work for gamestop and believe me i wouldnt even trade there. im not sure how old u r but ur so better off making an ebay account and selling there, goin to school and offering people there, or a garage sale (at least you'll get cash instead of store credit, and besides to get cash at gamestop its 20% less than store cred. cheap bastards)PlayDude22

I can't. I don't have a credit card, so no ebaying for me. I am in college, so no garage sale. I don't know too many people who play video games. Gamestop is really my only option.

LOL, that is how I got my PS2- funny thing, it was not intentional. My friend went there to buy a PS2 and as we are about to walk out I see a guy bring a PS2 and saw him disgusted at the trade in value so I flagged him down as he walked out and bought it dirt cheap from him. So, my friend bought the same thing 5 minutes earlier for $110 and I had planned to go to Target and buy it for $130- I got it for $50 with 2 Sony controllers, Sony memory card, and original GTASA :)

Anyways, as long as people keep accepting their trade in values and sell back prices, GS will continue to do rip people off. Whatever you do, don't buy it back from them, go to a good retailer (not walmart) and buy a new one. I never go there unless they have an awesome sale, rare game, or good preorder bonus like in the case of Silent Hill Origins for the PS2. All else being equal, I go to Circuit City, Best Buy or Target.

Yeap.. is like ppl selling tehre wii to get a ps3 and then selling there ps3 to get a wii. Save longer and get both... my opinion..

and i will go futher.. do not sell systems at all... unless you have BC.. when I get my ps3 I would not sell my ps2, just bc is not the best BC (or so I have heard)..

Should have donated it, you would have made 119 dollarsJaysonguy

in system is the only moment I agree with Jay here...

I gave my GC (Wii have great BC) to my lil cousin. Trading games if you know how and ARE sure you would not want it back, can be done (imho) .. but system is a lose-lose situation...
