    I never understood how it works. So you just trade your games in and they buy them off of you? What determines the price of the games?

    Yeah, usually they don't give you much for trade-ins. Some stores just give you store credit so you're lucky you even got some money back. I think the best way of getting more money, even though I haven't tried it, would be to sell them on ebay or something. I'm sure that there are plenty of people who look for old games.

    Some of them are so worthless it's better off keeping them than selling them for a buck.I sold 40+ of my XBox games for $150 at EB.

    ^Well they give practically nothing for sports games, so you won't get away with much.

    Maybe. I don't even think they would give a buck in for an 05 game.The only ones worth anything sports-wise is a year before or the year of.

    Yeah you're better off selling it to your friends or ebay.I knew I was getting practically nothing for so many games but I really needed the money to buy the 360.

    I don't blame them for lowballing...they probably don't sell that many older/used games...

    Don't give them a single game, They rip you completely off. If you sold the games on Ebay you would make a fortune.

    You don't make much off eBay either, but definitely better than from EB. Gamestop seems to give you more than EB, but unless it's a new release then don't expect much from either. I just keep my games, I'd rather have them even if I only play them once evry few years then then the few dollars I'd get for them.

    Re: EB Games' trade-in sucks

    They base it off 40% of what they are going to sell it for so a xbox is round $100 so they'll give you $40.For the games they base it of off condition,how old the game is,how popular the game is.I would say finding a person who doesn't have that system and selling it to them for 70% of the value you first bought it for instead of trading it in or selling it on Ebay with all those risks.
