I updated the original post with this: The easiest way to find the item you want to trade is to search the item as if you want to buy it. When you get to the item page where you can choose which copy you want to buy and click on "Sell My Copy", this will give you the option to either "trade the item" or sell it through the website.

Thanks for that info It's a pain in the ass only being able to search via UPC on the instant sale main page.

Stay away from these guys....

Sent in 6 brand new/sealed games (purchased from bestbuy) In 2 separate orders, 3 games per order, 1 wii, 1 xbox, 1 ps3, all same game (disney universe). the wii version was paid out from both orders, and only of of the xbox versions was paid. The other 2 ps3 games, and 1 xbox version were rejected for being "unauthorized copies". Just got back today in the mail 1 ps3 and 1 xbox version that was rejected, which are now opened and back of the case is covered in labels. the xbox cash is cracked and missing pieces.

At the very least, if they are going to deny a trade in, why even open a game up that is brand new w/ factory seal. So dishonest imo. Will not be using this scam of a company again (not half.com, the trade ins are sent to some third party company named Elovations)

If the value is still that high I'll be a guinea pig and risk getting 'screwed' like it seems a few others have with these 3rd party vendors. I have no business done on half.com but I am established on eBay.

It's quoting me $32.14 via Paypal for Rayman Origins. Challenge accepted. About to print the shipping label and invoice.

This is your one chance, half. Don't mess it up.

Same here. I've bought plenty from Half.com before, never had a problem, so I'll give their trade-in a shot with Rayman. Chose PayPal as well, since I'm not sure I will want to actually buy something from Half (so willing to lose the extra 15% on it). $32.14 is still a damn good deal.

thats not the same. When you buy from half you are buying from individual seller.

I already got my email confirmation for my Resistance 3 shipment and it has been credited. Worked for me.

Hmm, odd. They recieved 2/3 of the games I shipped (sent Resistance 3 a day later so they should receive that one today or tomorrow). Anyway, I submitted for Paypal for $10.50 for a disc only copy of Hulk Hogan's Main Event. When I checked the status, it said the trade in value increased to $14.00. And that's what they deposited in my Paypal. Never seen that happen before where they increase the value after they gave you a quote, and then give you the increased value! No complaints so far!

I lost several hundred dollars selling on half.com
They handle payment (not paypal, or anything else)
When/if someone with a stolen card buys something on half, they get to keep the product, and you do not get your disbursement in two weeks.
Run, do not walk, very, very far away from Half. Here is a thread on a subforum if you want to read more

this is a separate operation. (likely) a 3rd party, along the lines of amazon trade ins.

i am very wary of selling on half any more. i was burned when a buyer lied to try and extort money from me (i told him to F-off so he filed a complaint with half, neg feedback, etc etc...)...made me realize it's their word against yours, and half takes buyers side to give good customer service.

i just scoped a rayman origins trade (30 ish for ps3), but was too slow and didnt grab a copy from the gamefly sale...(i had a GC that i wanted to convert to cash)
