Which games did you sell?

Sometimes you are so disappointed/get so bored with a purchase you want to get rid of it as soon as possible.
What was the last game you sold? I'm currently selling Lumines, Crush (both on the PSP) and FFXII: Revenant Wings on ebay. I liked the gameplay in Lumines but I got tired off it soon. Same goes for Crush which also annoyed the crap out of me with its sh*tty controls.
"Revenant Wings" has fantastic production values but it sucks, plain and simple.

I sell a lot....Like Crackdown, Metroid Prime 3, other lame ass games, but then other games I won't play again, like Bioshock.

I actually keep practically every game I've bought over the last 15 years.

Ditto. I've never sold or traded a single game, no matter how lame it was, in my entire life.

Me neither; never sold anything, even if I should have.

I sell a lot of things. I kept everything as a child, NES, SNES, Gameboy and all the games. After that I had the Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, and Xbox....nothing from any of those systems remain except Halo 1 & 2. I'm determined to maintain a library this gen. I always sell sports games at the end of their season...never understood why people keep all of them.

I also like to hang onto all my games but sometimes some I just did not care for or wound up getting 'better' versions and was just clearing space.

The ones I can remember are:

- PS2: Looney Tunes Space Race (Looked fun. Looks can be deceiving)
- PS2: Lego Star Wars 1 (Got 'Complete Saga')
- Xbox: Ninja Gaiden (Got Ninja Gaiden Black)
- Xbox: Brute Force (friends weren't interested so no point)
- Xbox 360: C&C3 (An RTS on a console? No, thanks)

I sometimes trade in games I really dislike to get credit as soon as I can, because even though I like having a full collection of games, I like having a full collection of games I enjoy more. Metroid Prime and Brute Force come to mind immediately. They suckered me into those games, but never again! OH NO!

More recently I've gotten rid of games I really disliked right after buying it, most of the stuff I bought when the Wii was released (Rayman, Excitetruck, Monkey Ball, Trauma Center) and Rainbow Six Vegas are the few that come to mind.

And, of course, when I got f*cked over with the RRoD on Halo 3's release, I lost a good chunk of PS2 and 360 games to get my Elite. The account I do all my spending from just didn't have the money to pay my bills on top of throwing down cash for a new 360. It was either a couple days to get some money transfered from my other account, wait a couple more days to get paid, or lose a dozen or so games. I chose the latter.

When I was in High School, and without any type of disposable income, I basically lived on trade-ins. The N64 and PS1 era's especially, which is why both my N64 and PS1 collections don't exceed about 15 games each. I especially enjoyed when EB had that lax policy of 7 days and bring it back for a full refund. That got me through a ton of Xbox, Gamecube and PS2 games in the early days.

I never saw why people got rid of them. You get like $5 for a sports game once the new one is a couple months from release. I'd rather keep it and not give away money. That being said, I do only buy one sports game (An NHL game) every other year.

God once I sold Marvel Vs Capcom 2 for PS2, which was a bad idea since it goes for 50 used on Ebay now...I also sold Zone Of The Enders once I ended up re-buying it later. Don't know why I ever sold it.'

Other then that I used to trade in all kinds of crap as a kid. Now I just keep everything I buy since trade in values are hardly even worth it anymore.

I don't sell my games unless I'm completely sure that I won't be playing them anymore, and I try not to let that happen very often. I think the last game I sold was Polarium for the DS since it wasn't what I expected.

Such a policy left me as not buying so many games over the years as others, but I have pretty much never sold a single game I ever purchased with only a few exceptions. Those would be...

1. Shadow the Hedgehog (worst $50 I ever spent)
2. Sonic the Hedgehog '06 (the game that killed the franchise for me)
3. Mario Party 4 (shark jumping season)
4. Super Return of the Jedi (It was a gift and I already owned it)


I got Populus for the SNES as a gift from a relative I hate back in 1992, and said I was going to sell it, but I never did.

I haven't sold any games. Just traded them in for new ones...which is basically the same thing.

- Dog's Life.
- Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly (This game haunts me to this very day as the worst game I've ever played).
- Pokemons Blue, Yellow, Gold, and Crystal.
- And, though it doesn't really count for anything, my old Gameboy Color.

I've been spending my money on more top quality games as of late, so I haven't really had the urge to go and sell anything of mine just yet.

I've only traded games in on 2 occasions. One was years ago when the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection first came out. I was particularly depressed and out of money, so I grabbed a bunch of games I thought I'd never play again and got a whopping $11 for them. I called my friend to come over and loan me the rest. One of the games was Wrestlemania 2000, which I had a lot of memories with. That's the only one I really regret, but I still have No Mercy, so it's not like I was really gonna be playing it again. The other time, I more recently traded in the awful Wii version of Ultimate Alliance and used it to help pay off Brawl. I've been thinking about getting rid of Trauma Center lately, as well as trading in Guitar Hero II and the Guitar for PS2 and just gettign the game used on 360. That game had an awesome track list, and on the 360 I'd be able to download some of my favorite songs from the first.

I have alot of good games and some not so good ones, but this is my collection.

The only games I ever trade in are the yearly sports games.

This is my slowly growing collection of 360 games, I have only traded in Viva Pinata. And it looks like some Seinfeld.
