so yeah, the realy cheap used crap EB has, commonly not even a system i own anymore, is starting to pile up, what do i do with it all (and dont say Ebay)?
i assume alot of the people that do that dont always get something they definetly need, what do you do with it?

i trade it in at Rhino (local game store if you don't know) most of their ps1 games are 7.99 or more, except sports games. so i just normal order a non-sports game for the 1.49 b/c and trade it in there for $2 credit. So i got free shipping and made 40 cent credit.

yeah thats sort of what i'm looking for, just a place where i can dump them off and get some money back.
i am in the Los Angeles area, as well as Minneapolis (westerly) if anyone know of anywhere...

thats kind of a big production to do for every piddly used product i get every time, i'd rather just sell it at a B&M somewhere, just so i can get it off my hands without throwing it in the trash.

You can just return it to the b&m store and get the credit back on a gift card as you get them. Though it's probably alittle to late to do that now.

I usually just buy cart games and blow them up with firecrackers

well yeah again, thats the problem with "returning" them, you gotta do it like, every time and with the receipt, it would be nice if there was a place i could just dump them and get a lil' money.

I agree that returning cheap crap is a pain . . .
I just add it to the pile of old videogame treasures and trash . . . mostly I've tried to get things that I've had a slight reason to check out.

I offer them to my friends for free, if they don't want it, I throw them out since I don't have room for more junk that I don't need. It's not worth trying to sell Genesis and PSX sports games from the early and mid 1990's (which is what I usually get)
