I don't know where to post this, but here we go. If you have a choice, which store would you do the trade in? Long ago I did a trade in a couple games to Gamestop, but I have used all their credits. Anyway, please tell me how much I'd get for "each" of these games. Note: All of them are perfect condition with no scratches.

PS2 - Rise of Kasai (I know this game is still 40 bucks at most store)
PS2 - Project Snowblind
PS2 - Gungrave
PS2 - Psi-Ops
PS2 - Hitman 2 GH version
PS2 - Silent Hill 3
PS2 - Kill.Switch
PS2 - Dynasty Warriors 3

I know that we shouldn't trade in to game store and should sell it on Ebay for more money. However, I can't sell it on Ebay for a reason. I would call in GS or GC, but they don't give me the price over the phone anyway. Please help me out.
 
Well I added up in Tradestop.com and only get 32 dollars for all of those (except Hitman 2 cuz they have too much of them). If I do it on GS or GC, will I get the same price or even less than Tradestop's value?
 
Here is what I would do . . . take 4 of these and trade them in on Nascar 06 . . . (act quickly . . . only two days left on the offer). When you pick it up request a gift receipt . . . return it later for $50 in EB credit. (Returning a game from a preorder is somewhat YMMV . . . see other threads for details.)

PS2 - Project Snowblind
PS2 - Psi-Ops
PS2 - Hitman 2 GH version
PS2 - Silent Hill 3
PS2 - Kill.Switch
PS2 - Dynasty Warriors 3

Then give Gungrave to a poor kid in the neighborhood because it is not going to get squat anywhere and send me Rise of Kasai for $15 :)

That's $12.50 per on the 4 you are least likely to play. If you can swing it, you could add 2 $5 games and do the Nascar deal twice for $100 in credit.


If you want to play it straight . . . you can get $5 extra (on top of regular value) per game (except Gungrave) at EB when they start their new deals. That would be $35 extra (or is it limited to 5 games?) . . . the games themselves would bring maybe $40 . . .

This could be the best way to go, but it would suck if you couldn't return the copies of Nascar.

Yeah, I'd want to know that you could do it at that store first (mine is cool, but a few CAGers have reported problems).
 
schultzed, I would like to do what you said. However, what if my GS store won't let me return the Nascar game? Man I don't want to own anything from racing to sport hehe. Anyway, but if I trade them in right now to GameCrazy or Gamestop (with no deals), how much would I get?

Ebgames is far from my place, so only GS or GC for me =(

You could always pawn it off at the local trailer park...
 
Is GameRush is located in every BlockBuster store just like GameCrazy in Hollywood video? So GameRush give more money than EB/GS/GC ??

Update: Damn, they don't have GameRush store near me (just checked their site locator).
