What should I do with these games?

So, here's my question: During the most recent green tag/coupon TRU fiasco I ended up with about 30 or so mostly free games. I'm usually on top of all the trade-in deals and such (especially since I work at EB and frequent this site), but I can't help but feel I'm overlooking some great option. I was going to trade a bunch of them in tomorrow at EB when the "trade 2, get $10 extra" deal starts, but again, I want to be sure I'm getting the most for my "money". I know Blockbuster has the "trade 3, get any pre-played game for $10 deal", but most of my BBs have a crap selection. Also, there aren't any Gamerushes in Chicago. So, any other bright ideas before I trade most of them in? Thanks for any input guys.
 
The reasons why I focus on EBGames . . .

If you use coupon codes, the prices are reasonable. If you put the credit on a giftcard with a pin #, you can use it online and take advantage of clearances that get posted here.

I saved up a bunch of credit and bought Steel Battalion . . . no other way that would have happened.
 
[quote name='schultzed']I'd do the current EB promo but check to see if some are not excluded you can get more for them if you can find a 4 for a $50 game deal.

Also, you could trade them with me!

Do you have anything good? or 30 copies of MOJO :)[/quote]

I'll take them off your hands for free :D . You won't have to worry about them anymore :D I'll worry about what to do with them, so you don't have to anymore :D
 
This might sound pretty anal-retentive, but I would open all of them up and swap out their new pristine cases with any open games you may have gotten used or that simply have beat-up cases. This way all the games you're keeping will look brand new.

Put all the cheap games you want to get rid of (with their newly weathered cases) into a pile somewhere that you know is strictly for stuff you're eventually getting rid of. Since you paid next to (if not) nothing for them, I wouldn't worry too much about making a profit on them. Give them away to neighborhood kids if you can't find a worthwhile trade in offer.
