Do you trade them in?

I use to trade them in but not much anymore, becuse I find that those game stores dont give you even close to the full value of the games that you buy, and when I trade them in I feel like I'm being ripped off, in my experience I bought a $12 game and I later returned it and they only gave me $3 dollars in store credit, and god forbid you decide that you want cash back instead, not to mention the fact that some of those hard to find classic games are rarely in stock at those places. So now after having a few unpleasant experience's in those places I prefer to buy my games online, and just add them to my collection so I dont have to worry about if i'll still find it if I want to play it a agin, and think about the bad trade in deals, and it seems a lot easier to find all sorts of games online then just shopping at one place and trading in, in my opinion.

no i dont trade with them sice your question is too niche

Generally trading them in is a huge rip off, if you are dealing with the latest generation of games. They give you like 10 bucks for a game and then sell it for 40 or more, which I can go on Ebay and just get that 40 myself.

I have never traded in games, but my son's father gave him a few games that he does not like. I told him what type of games he was into, but he gave him a Hockey game, a football game, SIMS, and something else. My son was a but disappointed. We might take them in and trade them when he gets back into town.

I usually just purchase the games. When my hubby is done with them my daughter or nephews usually use them. I haven't really needed to trade yet.

I did when I was a little kid, But I don't anymore, in my opinion for the most part, its a rip off

We haven't done it. I have trouble letting go of our games lol. I like to go there though and buy used ones to save money. We usually only have a few different games for the game system we have so there is no need to trade them in. i'm getting a wii soon so i want to start looking for cheap games for it.

I really wish we could do that here but, most stores here in our place don't even do that at all. You can just buy from them and if the game doesn't work, either replace it with another copy or you could just choose a different title. Then, there are other gamers who are willing to purchase games that you have. Haven't encountered anyone looking for a trade, most of them want to sell their games for a reasonable price these days. If they could only get good copies or hard to find ones, they could surely post it online and maybe get more than the prices that they are offering it with.

In reality i never traded for videogames in a shop or store deals with these kind of products!! It can be real because normally i download games from the net when i want play some..anyway i think that this can be a good prece too for some good titles that one you mentioned on your post and so enjoy to play your game now :)

I don't but my daughter does and she has gotten good deals both in buying and selling. I think Game Stop was the name of one of the places she goes. She also gets games for the DS for her daughter... found on there that she didn't even know existed... Belle Sara.. and of coures her daughter is a HUGE fan of Bella Sera world so it was a "gold find" for her... the game, she said, is great and can't hardly stand to put it down and say "good by" to her horse friends!

My partner has traded games in previously and was pretty disapointed at the value he got for them, since they were relativley new games and he had only had them a few weeks. He has stopped trading in games now and has found he gets much more money for them if he sells them on ebay. He has nearly doubled the price offered by the Game store. Dont get me wrong it can be a great idea but they are the ones benefiting 4 fold in the end as the price that they resell the games for is always at least double what they pay you for it.

This is a really good discussion because video games are really important when it comes to everyday life,because they are a good way to pass the time when you are really bored,and they are also helpful when there is nothing to do,like on those really cold,or really rainy days,where you do not want to leave the house for anything,and I know there are a lot of people who play video games,and I am sure there are some people who will trade their games in,and then I am sure there are people who will not trade their games in,and I can understand that everyone is different,and everyone has different opinions,that is cool that you traded in five games for twenty dollars store credit,and me and my fiance have traded in games to Game Stop and we never get that much for the games,and since Game Stop stopped taking X-box games,and X-box's we had to find another place to take our old X-box, since we have an X-box 360 and no longer need the original X-box,and we found this place called Movie Game Exchange which is a really nice place,he will take anything you sell him,even things as old as Sega games,Nintendo 64 games,and old original Nintendo games,and I think right now we have a couple dollars of store credit at Game Stop,have a great day,good luck with your life,and all of your mylotting goals,and Happy Posting.

Hello katsmeow1213, I have traded my video games at Game Stop a few times for store credit to purchase new games and accessories. A great way to purchase new things at a lower price. lol. Happy myLotting!

My younger brother does all the buying/selling/trading of games... and I mooch off of his merchandise. :) But I know he does a LOT of selling back to stores/trading in for credit etc. It's nice to recycle that way!
