I've been saying this a lot lately...

Ebay, Friends/family, craigslist, amazon, anywhere else other then Gamestop/EB Games like maybe forums that you go to that has a buying/selling forum (not here though).

Smart people don't sell to GameStop. It's a well known fact that GameStop is only good for buying used games.

Yeah it seems like Gamestop buys games for only a third of what they plan on selling it for. I learned that after wanting to get rid basically of a DS game.

Your best bets are selling it to a friend or using Ebay.

No matter what you do you are going to be on the short end. It is best to keep it and maybe a friend or a friend of a friend might make you a better deal. Why did you buy it in the first place?

I find it humorous that you are calling everyone 'retards', while obviously missing the point that everyone has told you where you can sell the friggin thing. Sell it on Craigslist locally for whatever you think it's worth or Amazon nationally/internationally. It's easy and you get to choose whatever you want to get out of it. If you are really not worried about the price, you can probably get about $200 for it depending on what you are going to include with it. If you have extra controllers, games, a hard drive etc..

Obviously, anywhere you sell it to a place that is going to resell it, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET WHAT IT IS REALLY WORTH! They need to make a profit, so you sell it straight to the consumer for the value of what Gamestop or a pawn shop will sell it for (so no you shouldn't sell it to a pawn shopt)! It's not rocket science, don't critisize other people for their input and obviously ignore what everyone is telling you to do and focus on their opinion of Gamestop, this is obviously a rediculous post and you should either take the advise already given, figure it out yourself, or take your losses and sell the pile to GS and post somewhere else next time!

MORON!

:lol: Why's this stickied?

And so I'm not trolling:
"GameStop doesn't give you much money for your stuff. You should sell your stuff someplace else, where you can get more money for it, 'cause GameStop doesn't give you much money for your stuff."

I was wondering the same thing...

I used to sell games to GS (EB Games) years ago. I learned my lesson and just keep my games.

That's exactly what I wanted to know. It was obvious this would be about someone getting surprised that GameStop has poor trade-in values, I was hoping there would be something profound in here to justify the sticky.
