Did I get ripped off selling these?

Okay, so I sold 12 of my games to a place called "GamesPlus", and the total they gave me was $21.00 up front. Or they said I could have $27 in-store credit.

Here were the games I sold to them:

• Used Copy Of Need For Speed Carbon (2-Disc Special Edition)
• Used Copy Of Battlefield 2: Modern Combat
• Used Copy Of Ghost Recon: AW (1)
• Used Copy Of Marvel Ultimate Alliance/Forza Motorsport 2 (2-Disc Set)
• Used Copy Of Halo 2 (Original Xbox Copy)
• Used Copy Of Lego Indiana Jones 1/ Kung Fu Panda (2-Disc Set)
• used Copy Of PGR3
• Used Copy Of Peter Jackson's King Kong
• Used Copy Of Burnout Paradise
  
• NEW Copy Of PGR4

Did I just get ripped-off? Would GameStop have given me more?

To tell you the truth I really don't know, I think you can either look up the gamestop prices or just call them, but what's the point you already sold them right?

I don't sell games because I've gotten rid of so many games I shouldn't have. I think the best way to sell them is package them on ebay. Sometimes you can get a pretty penny for a lot of 360 games just for people who like to increase their collection, or frompeople who don't know much about the pricing in the industry.

$27 store credit works out to $3 per game.

Yes, you let yourself get ripped off.

gamestop prolly would have gave you about the same, but maybe you could have had like $30-$40 for everything. PGR4 should be your biggest chunk of credit. Maybe $5-$15 for it. That Edge card at gamestop is good, but only works for store credit. In all your 360 games should have gotten you at least half of what you got. Which seems about right, dont ever expect much from old systems and their games. You are better off keeping them since you only get like 2-8 bucks for PS2, GC, and XBOX games. Those stores only want big sellers or currnet games. Well, the games weren't really that great, so you didn't get ripped off, not by much.

anytime you sell games to game stores you will get ripped off badly...i dont understand why ppl do this, when they can just sell them on ebay...some ppl say it is bc it is easier than sellin on ebay bc of convenence...yes this may be true but not by that much...all you have to do, is if you want to sell easily on ebay a bunch of games is just bundle them together...you easily would have gotten 50-60 bucks for all of those games, and all you would have to do is ship them in a box to one person...

you got badly riped off you should have sold them on kijiji you could have goten like 50 bux.

well not really all that stuff is really old and it would be very hard to find a store that would give you more. Now if you had sold it on ebay you could probably has gotten much more. Alot of people are wiilling to pay good money for old games.

Well those seem to be old games (even PGR4) so i'm not suprised...mrjoe_94

This thread makes me sad, it's not right that people get taken advantage of like this

Even trading them in to a place like Amazon you'd get 40

It's not right :(

I got around 20 euro for 7 very old PS2 games in a store, so yeah, you got seriously ripped off.

Dude, you just got jacked. I feel sorry for you.

Sell games on amazon.com get much more money.

Kinda but not really at the same time. None of those games would bring more than $5 in because they are all under $20 new. You probably would hvae been better off just keeping them.

yup thats pretty much the case.

you could have gotten a better deal at gamestop or amazon

yes, you got incredibly ripped off considering you could have just put them up on ebay starting off at like $5 a piece and guaranteed you wouldve gotten at least $15 each for most of the games, plus if you played the shipping costs right you couldve made money off of shipping too

That is a HORRIBLE deal. Sorry, but you've been had

you got Tjeremiah1988

Love that pic! :lol:

And TC, I hope you're kidding.

I got 38$ for Burnout Paradise just over a month ago on Amazon.com

Do all your game selling on amazon imo.

I always believe you can get more money out of just selling them to actual game players, and not stores.

Now GamesPlus will make $20.00+ in profits per game.

Or around there.

I saw a few people mentioned Amazon, but if you want to sell locally Craigslist is the way to go IMO.

If you're a GameFly member, they have a trade in system with great deals. And I wouldn't go back to the store that you sold your games to, I'm guessing you'll get just as bad a deal when you buy games from them.

you got badly riped off you should have sold them on kijiji you could have goten like 50 bux.

Wow, I feel sorry for you :(

Well the important thing is that he learned what not to do and from this point on if he's ever faced with this situation in the future he'll have more knowledge in how to handle it

You got ripped big time.

You might have been able to get better prices selling them on eBay or to friends but not much better. No one really pays much for used games. Besides, unless you were going to play them anymore then they weren't anything to you besides paperweights. This is why I rent or borrow, or buy used games. The only thing that depreciates more in value more than a new car is a new game.

Dude... don't EVER sell stuff to gamestop. Assassinslay

big time ripped off.
