I went to this wherehouse type store called Gamedude in North Hollywood, CA. The good news, they don't mess around with store credit, they give you cash. So I deceided to sell my Saturn+35 games.

They fingerprint you, make you show your ID. Sealed games must be opened outside, then taken back in. They put your system through a 30 minute burn in. Their bathroom are disgusting. They don't tell you game prices, you have to read them off a sheet.

All for $330 cash. I guess it was worth it. I'll take a shower in my money.

I hope you didn't have anything in demand, because it's likely you could have sold it for more on here or on eBay.

$330 in cash; that's not bad. But did you check out ebay beforehand to see if you have some sought after games?

Game Dude is alright. They do have TONS of games (Dare I say the most in America?), and there prices are pretty good. Ive never sold anything to them before, but I may someday.

What Saturn games did you trade in? $330 sounds like a lot for 35 games (Which is a little less then $10 if you don't include the sytem)

How could you hate the Saturn? It was hard for me to get rid of...

Mass Destruction was a great tank game, and the 2D Fighters on Saturn are still considered the best. Nights was a great game, and Saturn Bomberman hasn't been topped.

Awww, good memories.

I love the Saturn, but you got a pretty sweet deal. I cringed when I saw you were trading it in with 35 games, but I don't think you got ripped off at all. You have a few hard to find titles in there, but certainly not worth $330....

Yeah, $330 isn't bad at all... you'd probably get that same amount on eBay.

Wow, you made a killing on that trade in :bouncy: you would have made like $90 on Ebay...

I wouldnt sell anything to anyone if I had to sell my fingerprints with that. That's too much to ask.

Alot of places require it already (Game Stop/EB) in certain areas.

I don't know...
...getting fingerprinted to trade/sell a game seems quite excessive.

Not necessarily. We don't do it in Oakland but we did that in San Diego; if the police comes and asks about a stolen system and we trace it back to a serial number on a system that was traded in, the police can search past criminal records if the person gave a fake ID or something.

They told me, that if any of the serial numbers on the console come up as stolen, they know who to go after!

Don't fogget it also had one of the best RPG's. Shining Force 3.1. Well it kinda sucked since 3.2 and 3.3 were only JAP releases so I didnt get it finish the whole game.
