Hope this is the right forum for this...After seeing the Elder Scrolls Skyrim trailer I want to sell my copy of Call of Duty Black Ops for the PS3 and put the money I get from that towards buying it, I originally was going to go trade it in at Gamestop till I looked online and someone told me they'd give about $20 at most then turn around and resell it for $54, so I said NO WAY! so I'm here and my question is how and where can I get the most out of selling my copy of BO? I'm aiming to get at least $30 since 40 would likely be pushing my luck. Please help!

If it helps, other than being a tad dusty on the outer casing, it's like new. The disc has no scratches or fingerprints or any of that other muck on it, the manual isn't ripped or bent up and the case (as I mentioned before) other than being slightly dusty looks like new.

Ebay. You can sell it for more than you'd get for trade in, and they buy it for less than they would preowned. Somewhere in the middle like 30 dollars maybe?

Alright.
30 bucks isn't enough to buy Skyrim.
Solution:Sell yourself on the street or sell more games.

How am I not helping? You sell the game(ebay,friends,...).You get the money,which won't be enough and after that you can refer to my other 2 suggestions.

A job is something I've been looking for for quite awhile, flipping burgers at McD's is probably going to end up being what I get.

Ebay or craigslist would be good options. If it's cheaper than most retail chains sell it for you'd have a shot. I don't know how much used BOPS goes for though.

$30 would be a whole $24 less than retail price for a used copy, I think that's good deal

You're really not going to get that much out of it. It's been out for nearly a year and pretty much most people who really wanted to play it have played it by this point. Anyone who hasn't isn't going to be willing to give you as much as you want for it, otherwise they would have bought it by now. Your best bet is to just take it to Gamestop and trade it in for store credit.

This isn't quite the right board for this question, as all talk about video games aren't allowed in OT.
