Maybe it's the hoarder in me or maybe it's just because I started playing games less as I got older but I haven't traded a game in since like the PS1 era. And even now I feel annoyed at some of the games I traded in as they are extremely valuable.

I guess I'd rather just have the games sit in my collection that get back the minuscule amount you get for trading in

It's not a ripoff if they're giving you an extra $5. Especially for games that are difficult to get rid of. I might go unload some shit I've been struggling to sell, myself. That being X360 games seeing as I got rid of that console to upgrade to a PS4.

Thanks, Weaku!

This is a good opportunity to dump low-tier games from PS3/360/Wii/Wii U. GameStop wrecked the trade-in values for those systems this year, so if you have games for those systems that aren't viable to sell on eBay, this could be the last chance to at least get a reasonable amount of GS credit for them.

Of course, they have to have a base TIV of at least $2, so you still can't pawn off the bottom-tier shit like Too Human or whatever.

Most of the time, this is absolutely true. But over the past 2-3 years in particular, they've had a handful of decent trade-in promos each year. This is one of them.

According to several people on Cheapassgamer, they're adding the $5 bump to previous-gen/retro titles as well... except Sega Saturn games, for some weird reason.

They could alter it to just be current-gen titles later in the week, though. Probably a good idea to trade older titles in ASAP. I'll be trying to go tonight, myself.

Went to GameStop this evening. Can confirm that NES, GameCube, Wii and 360 games still get the $5 bump as of tonight.

Probably best to hold on to that one. (Almost) every month, GameStop does a stealth bump of their trade-in values. Wii Sports is one of the biggest benefactors, and was trading for $13 base at one point last month.

If your end take is $120 or so, totally worth the effort. And you can have eBay calculate the shipping so the buyer will pay for that, too. You'll only need to pay for the padded envelope, tape, and gas to get to the Post Office, if it won't fit in your mailbox (you can put it in your mailbox and fill out some online form and they'll pick it up IIRC). You'll be paying under $5 total and spending less than an hour for $120 profit. VERY worth it.

I haven't been looking, but it's only just occurring to me that I should probably stock up on the JRPGs I missed out on now as opposed to waiting five years and seeing them all double in price. Maybe in part because I'm playing one (Suikoden V). I didn't check prices since I wanted to post the list and not be tacky.

It looks like they're cheap, yeah. Some of them not so much lol

thanks for the heads up on this. Brought in 10 games (5 low tier ps4 games, 4 PS2 games, and 1 Ps1 game). Got $30 for the games, but with the $50 bonus, netted $80 total.

I did check ebay for the older games and the prices were comparable, maybe a few dollars more. The thing about ebay though is that it's not as easy as just post and sell. I was checking some of my ps2 games that I didn't end up trading in, and they are going for a lot on ebay, but I noticed they were all either "as is" or "best offer" and the few that had live auctions had zero bids.

The amount of people willing to pony up those outrageous prices on ebay is so small, and you're competing with a couple dozen different listings from the same game. To say, "oh, you should've sold that on ebay" makes it sound like if he would've posted it, it wouldve been sold in a week for triple the value. But the listing could just as likely sit for weeks on end. Then there's always the risk of a difficult buyer or what have you. Just saying, I don't blame people for trying to skip the hassle of ebay. Though I did hold on to Xenosaga 3, just in case, lol.

Super Mario Odyssey
Resident Evil Origins
Splatoon 2

about 160. But at the same time I still have Elite Pro and ya know, my employee discount shits. Nevertheless it was more than I was expecting

I was about to trade in God Hand and Leaf Green for like 15-20 bucks each but they go for 40ish each on ebay

they don't take Sonic the Hedgehog and LotR Third age for the GBA

I almost took in the DKC trilogy in for 30 bucks but I just sold them on ebay for 60. Yay me
