How much money do u think either those two stores will give if I sold a DS game ( like Etrian Odyssey)? Or is it a bad idea to sell to Gamestop/EbGames

It's not a good idea, unless you do a trade 3 get it free (even then it's a rip-off)
Check out this site:
www.goozex.com
It's meant for trading games. It's really cool, it takes a little longer but it'll give you a better price (or points towards another game) than eb games would. I used to work there and now all I use if goozex.

It depends on the game. Sometimes it's really not a good idea to sell them. On the otherhand, i;ve traded stuff in for more than I paid before

I second Goozex. Trading Etrian Odyssey there would get you the equivalent of $25.

wow that's sounds good, ya i heard Gamestop had horrible trade-in values but I have never heard of Goozex; how long does it take for somebody to buy your game though?

It really depends. If there's alot of people that want it then it should go fairly quick. I would say a week or so, it just depends. I put marvel vs capcom 2 on there for xbox and it was requested within a day or two.

Try eBay if your not too young, you'll get a lot more for your games, plus it's actual cash. Gamestop/EBgames are notorious for giving you squat and then turning around an selling your used game at only 5-10 dollars under the new game price.

Cool, but I hate selling games to gamestop, as they buy your games for rip off prices, but it is true that sometimes the games don't sell on ebay.

I trade in only if they are sporting some sort of deal. Otherwise they just steal from you.

Oh no, this brings back very bad memories of when I traded 4 SNES games for only $7 total at GameStop. I was such an ignorant 13-year-old. :(

Don't sell them to Gamestop, burn them! you would probably make more money, or you could sell them via Amazon or eBay.
