Perhaps, but I still would not have anything to do with anything on half ... wanted to get the word out there .. .if you are waiting for funds, you may never get them (and be out product).

what are the chances they care about online codes? I still got my two copies of Madden sealed but was thinking of opening one and play them. I can get $46 gc or 40 paypal not bad since I paid only 32.

Rayman Origins for $17.99 with coupon.

Man, I sent my copy of R3 off on the 6th and they still haven't processed my instant sale saying it hasn't been received...

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)

My guess is the Wii versions and possibly the 1 XBox 360 version were accepted and the others were rejected were that the other XBox 360 version and 2 PS3 versions were special Best Buy versions with a different UPC than the standard version. It is messed up that they opened and damaged the games though.

My Resistance 3 copy I traded in got approved today, so that's a relief. Probably going to hold out for a %off code before I use the credit though.

This was pretty amazing. I managed to get rid of some old games for great Paypal cash.


Rayman Origins - $32.14
Dead Island - Submitted for $15.57 but got bumped to $16.35
Batman Arkham City - $18
Warhammer 40k - $16.37

Rayman Origins will definitely get cheaper in a few months. I'll buy Dead Island GOTY and Arkham City GOTY when they go cheap since I've already beaten the main games. and Warhammer 40k is free on PS3.

It was cool since it got received and processed in about a week after I mailed it out. Great turnaround time and I'm just waiting for Resistance 3 to get accepted for $18. Thanks for the heads up on these games, guys.

I sent in Madden without the online pass and got full credit for it.

I just got my credit for Resistance 3. I must say, I am very impressed. I do wish their prepaid shipping labels had a tracking number to keep tabs on the delivery, but that's not a huge deal unless you run into an issue. It took just under a week to receive my Paypal credits.

Hulk Hogan's Main Event disc only - $14.00 (up from $10.50 I was quoted)
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - $16.37
Resistance 3 - $18.00

Not bad at all! I used the money (plus the money from Just Cause 2 that I sold on half.com, not instant traded) to pre-order Steel Battalion and pick up Skyrim. And I have my PSN copies of Warhammer and Just Cause 2, and I still have a copy of Resistance 3. Sounds like a good deal to me!

As a FYI, Sonic Generations (360) is getting $28 paypal cash of $31.xx half.com credit

A little late but I'm following up to this. I received a PayPal payment for the full amount in a relatively prompt fashion.

Recently sent in a copy of Rayman Origins as well and they should receive it early next week. Dead Island was quoted at ~$17 for like-new condition, so I confirmed.

So far, so good.

Interesting... i kinda wanna try this out.

I got excited when i first received that e-mail stating i could send in my Music CDs to Amazon until i started reading posts on the program saying 3rd parties were sending back tons of CDs and lots of them scratched and not even the originals that were sent in.

What is considered the best way to sell your CD/Movie collection? I've considered Amazon/Half/etc but some people say local music stores are the best. I dunno...

Wow, have a copy of rayman on the 360... hope they honor this! Took the paypal option instead of the half.com GC. Thanks OP!

Well, what the hell - I'll give this a shot with Resistance 3 (still $18 PayPal).

Is this like amazon where u can put in a trade request but not be forced to send it if you change your mind?

I don't see how they can force you to send it in .

But yeah, it looks like there is a cancel option on the account page. And they warned me that the quote expires in 7 days so I need to get it shipped soon. So I'm assuming you could just let it expire if nothing else.

I actually didn't have any boxes, so I literally sent them Rayman in Christmas Wrapping Paper. They accepted it no problem. Got the $32.xx in less then a week. Pretty satisfied.

Those trade in values are way too high to ignore. I'm going to attempt this as well..

Someone else asked but I didn't see it answered and can't anything about it on half's site...can you use their credit on ebay?

No the credit is for half.com only
