i wouldn't, coz then if you got the game and it didn't work, then you got to send it back... i don't buy used games anyway, so i won't have to worry about it :D

Depends on who you are buying them from. PS3 games are hard to scratch unless you are seriously rough with your stuff.

i've purchased used games on ebay before and didn't run into any problems. just make sure whoever you're buying from has good feedback. same with amazon.

no, i wouldnt, cuz then if the game doesnt work for some apparent reason you have to send it back (its to much of a hassel) and you cant see the box art and case so you never know what condition thats going to be in..

Only trust certain sites. Ebay Amazon and some other place are pretty good.

Used games are used games, I've hardly experienced used games that don't work, maybe 2 I can remember. I've bought plenty of used games on ebay never had a problem.

It depends on the seller. I buy used games all the time from Amazon.com and I love it.

EBGames.com isn't bad. I may not buy online often, but I bought a used PS2 game from them a couple of years ago and it came in just fine.

I guess I would say, you'd be better off trusting official sites for this sort of thing. But nothing beats (or saves) like going to the actual store.

I buy used games on amazon before. Usually buy the ones with description so that if it's not as described then i can return it.

Agree with above. I've bought almost all my used games from Amazon and have never had a problem. I just read up on the description and make sure the seller or vendor has a ton of good feedback. Prices are nearly have the price GameStop is asking too so i would say go for it!

I've been buying used games for years, and never had a single problem.
A lot of the games I've bought have been years old PS1 games, and even those have worked flawlessly.

Check feedback on the seller, and watch the descriptions of the games.
Most of the high volume sellers will tell you if the game has scratches, is missing the cover, etc...
