Need Gamestop Help!

The Terror of Death · 03-22-2007, 09:23 PM

Is gamestop a good place to sell your games? I want to sell seven old gba and two old ps2 games but I am afaid they will amount to less than $10 credit. There not really any games most people would buy.

Also, selling them online is out of the question for me. (You dont want to know)

You won't get anything for them anymore, pal. People don't just fork over dough for old games. Especially GBA games. Depending on the games, I'd say you're looking at $1-2 on each GBA game, and $1-$5 on the PS2 games, depending on how old they are.

The games are 04 -05 What should I do then?

They may pay you $1-2, but that doesn't mean they won't sell them for $15-20.

Ebay is your friend.

I agree, that's definitely your best bet if you want to make any money back for your old games. If you don't want to sell it on eBay yourself, see if there is one of these in your area (I've never been to one of those, but even with the commission taken out, you'll still probably make more than you would by selling them to GameStop).

Yeah, GameStop only gives a good amount for games that are really new, and even though you'll get only like $20-$30. Then they'll sell it back for only $5 cheaper than a new game.........

Never trade in anything to Gamestop, they always rip you off. I'll never understand their used game system. A used game costs the same if it's complete with box and instructions and works perfectly than if it's cart/disc only and barely works. As mentioned before, sell it on ebay.
