Trade-in or sell?

CAGiversary!
So far I'm trading these
Halo 3: ODST (Amazon, $16.50)
Left 4 Dead (360, Amazon, $5.50)
Chinatown Wars (DS, Gamestop, $6.25)
Burnout Paradise (360, Amazon, $7.50)
Ghostbusters (DS, Amazon, $5.75)
Star Trek Legacy (360, Gamestop, ???)
To Gamestop/Amazon. Before I do so however, I was wondering if it'd be more profitable to sell them on here. I've never sold online before though, so I don't know if it's worth it for any of these games.

Help? And yes, I'd be willing to sell ANY of them if the price is higher than listed on this post (Star Trek Legacy excluded, I think my father wants that back).
(sorry if this is the wrong forum)
 
Have you checked the Gamestop trade in value thread for values on the other ones besides GTA: Chinatown Wars? They currently have a tiered trade deal where if you trade 5 games you get an additional 30%(40% with EDGE) promo going on, so you might make more if you just traded them all in there.

I believe the PS3/360/Wii values are in the second post or so of the Gamestop trade value thread. If the value's date is fairly recent, then there's a good chance that they have held.

As for selling them here I would definitely check the used prices of the games online and price them maybe 20% lower than that. Shipping is typically $3 for a single game in a bubble mailer with Delivery Confirmation(which you want to always use).

You should also list the condition and completeness of each game if at all possible, as many(me included) do not like buying incomplete, beat up games.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
 
I've decided against Gamestop - I need a cash trade-in, but the offer doesn't work for that and you also get less cash.
So... I'm going to try selling them online, if I can get some cash to ship them. Anything I don't chuck, it's going to Amazon.

I think Amazon was free shipping for you to send them to them so i think you should go with Amazon.
 
You also might want to consider SecondSpin.com(which is a subsidiary of Transworld Entertainment, aka FYE). Most of their TIV's typically match up with FYE's in store values.

According to SecondSpin, you can get $7.25 or so there and possibly at FYE, though I do believe many FYE stores are getting rid of taking in game trades anymore.

But it's worth a shot.
