We got a place called EB Games here in canada.. and Microplay.. you can trade .. sell.. and buy games at.. depends where you're located.. If you want to sell them I also suggest Ebay but I dont think you'll get much for the games

EB Games is a total rip, i gave my ps1 for 20$ and it had 2 controllers, mod chip, memory card and was in good condition. I really needed money to watch a B-Jay game so i sold my ps1.

:lol: How much did you expect to get for a ps1? you can buy them used for like 30 bucks. And you didn't NEED to go see a Blue Jays game.

The Gamestop in Memphis only takes store credit for games and such which I wouldn't want to go to them. I'm looking to sell a few of my games as well.

EDIT: I just called them and they said they do give you cash back, but when you do it, they take 20% off your total price :? Sooo say if I trade in Madden 05, Live 05, ESPN 2k5 and Socom 1 and get around $30 then I will only get $22.50 back.

That's not a rip off, I just went up there and they said they would give me $5.40 for all 4 games and I just looked at the dude like I was going to hit him in the face, then I said "thats ight, ill just keep them".

I like Gamestop, you're stupid if you expect to get good money for old games, especially ones that are incredibly old. Face it, most of the times that you trade in games, they're doing you a favor by taking the game off your hands.

I sold 2 games for $30 at a smallish game shop here. My best friend was visiting and we spent all of our money on alcohol. That $30 bought us food for the night, good times... good times.
