CAGiversary!
There's a place at my local mall called "Saturday Matinee", which is owned by FYE (I'm sure there's quite a few locations in the country) that has offered the best amount for the games I trade in. Here's the recent trade-in I did a week ago, in parenthesis is the price I paid (not including tax):
ATV Quad Power Racing GC $20.50 credit ($19.99 paid)
Speed Kings GC $17.00 credit ($19.99 paid)
Gungrave PS2 $8.00 credit ($9.99 paid)
BMX XXX GC $8.50 credit ($9.99 paid)
Colin McRae Rally 2.0 GBA $12.00 credit ($9.99 paid)
Sled Storm PS2 $8.00 ($9.99 paid)
$74.00 Total Credit ($79.94 Original Total) = About 92% return in credit from what I originally paid. This was also $52 more than what EB had offered me for every game except BMX XXX (I figured I would get nothing for it anyway).
Not bad if you plan on buying a game that's fairly new. But their new games tend to be $3 more than other places ($52.99 instead of $49.99).
With the credit I had I was able to get Racing Evolution (GC) and Tony Hawk's Underground (GC) for $33 cash (including tax). They had an offer where if you bought two games over $29.99 each, you can get $8 off the total.
From what I figure, Saturday Matinee (FYE) is the best place for trading in games, while Gamestop comes second and EB comes dead last. I haven't tried Hollywood Video's Game Crazy for trade-ins yet, but I'm sure it probably falls next to Gamestop.
Has anyone else found a better place for trading in games?
