I used to do it alot until I noticed that I was being ripped of big time, you could get a new game and then trade it in a week later for like half the price. In the end I stopped doing it and now have quite the collection because of it.

And well I found have the larger collection gave me more variety and made my enjoy the games more as I could easily switch between them.

yea the price goes down big time lol but for sega games, it was kinda worth it, i used to know the store owner where i traded in, used to do like i give him 2 games he gives me one, sometimes he even let me do a 1 on 1 trade :)

I used to know a small games store owner and she would let me borrow all the second hand games that I wanted. Unfortunatly she moved her business when she moved house so that put an end to that little deal :(

Never tried that. I always keep my games.

I'm guessing he meant, games that were brought in by other people, and were used by them.

I have never done this myself, and never really plan to. Got quotes once on some games, but didn't sell them because they were too low to even bother selling

Well I traded in about 40 ps2 games and got 140 trade-in value , then today I traded in F1 (pS3) , head coach , some poker game and only got 30 , so it really depends . I think its worth it though sure I was jipped on a new Ps3 game but I didnt like it and its better than getting nothing , I wish I had Ebay im sure I could get more.
