What is the best route for getting rid of some games?

[Deft Beck]

I have a few options in getting rid of some my games.

* Selling
+ recieve $
- value is ambiguous
- keeping lists on various websites is time consuming

* Trading (Goozex)
+ established value
+ good selection
- not getting $ (games for games; I have other non-game things I want)
- $1 surcharge every time I recieve/ship

* Trading (Gamestop/Play N' Trade)
+ easy
+ possible bonus value added on during promotions
- getting less $ if I ask for cash

What does CAG think?

Just type up list and post it, trade a chunk of stuff and whatever you have left can always be sold on gamestop. I mean seriously how hard is it to maintain a list on 2-3 sites?

craigslist or kijii? don't expect top dollar though, ebay is for top dollar

just cut ur prices to sell fast.

id suggest selling 5-7 dollars under everyone else if ure just looking to get rid of games.

it sounds like you know the ropes, I don't really think there's a whole lot we can offer. you're not necessarily tethered to just one option either... if you want you could sell X amount of games for non-gaming stuff on ebay and trade the rest for other games.

I don't see this mentioned a whole lot but one thing I like to do is if I have a bunch of cheaper games that aren't really worth the time to sell individually I'll trade them in at GS during one of their extra credit promos and buy an expensive(but resale friendly) game. For example, Jurassic Park OG for PS2 sells for about $36 after EDGE at Gamestop, it carries roughly the same value on ebay so you can break even on that.
