View Full Version : What should I do with these games?

So, here's my question: During the most recent green tag/coupon TRU fiasco I ended up with about 30 or so mostly free games. I'm usually on top of all the trade-in deals and such (especially since I work at EB and frequent this site), but I can't help but feel I'm overlooking some great option. I was going to trade a bunch of them in tomorrow at EB when the "trade 2, get $10 extra" deal starts, but again, I want to be sure I'm getting the most for my "money". I know Blockbuster has the "trade 3, get any pre-played game for $10 deal", but most of my BBs have a crap selection. Also, there aren't any Gamerushes in Chicago. So, any other bright ideas before I trade most of them in? Thanks for any input guys.

I'd do the current EB promo but check to see if some are not excluded you can get more for them if you can find a 4 for a $50 game deal.

Also, you could trade them with me!

Do you have anything good? or 30 copies of MOJO :-)

The reasons why I focus on EBGames . . .

If you use coupon codes, the prices are reasonable. If you put the credit on a giftcard with a pin #, you can use it online and take advantage of clearances that get posted here.

I saved up a bunch of credit and bought Steel Battalion . . . no other way that would have happened.

I'll take them off your hands for free :D . You won't have to worry about them anymore :D I'll worry about what to do with them, so you don't have to anymore :D

This might sound pretty anal-retentive, but I would open all of them up and swap out their new pristine cases with any open games you may have gotten used or that simply have beat-up cases. This way all the games you're keeping will look brand new.

Put all the cheap games you want to get rid of (with their newly weathered cases) into a pile somewhere that you know is strictly for stuff you're eventually getting rid of. Since you paid next to (if not) nothing for them, I wouldn't worry too much about making a profit on them. Give them away to neighborhood kids if you can't find a worthwhile trade in offer.
