The best option for you for right now would probably be to list all of the ones you want to get rid of on the trading forum. Although, I will say that one person's definition of 'really good' condition is another person's definition of fair to poor, especially on here. There are many collectors who will view even the tiniest scratch or smudge as devaluing the game completely.
So, definitely take a bit and read this guide, which is sort of copied from memory from another thread someone made which asked about condition.
Game condition guide:
Excellent/mint-has no scratches at all, no accumulated dust on the disc, includes mint condition instruction booklet and original cover art.
near mint- manual may show a tiny bit of wear, disc/cart has a little bit of dust on it, coverart is still present, still highly playable and worthy of a purchase.
good- manual shows a bit more wear than near mint, disc/cart has some possible smudges,, coverart may have some bends/creases on it, surface scratches are present. still tolerable condition for many.
fair- manual has some creases, edges/corners may have bends, combination of some surface scratches/smudges(and a few possible deeper scratches) on disc/cart, coverart is smudged and has sticker residue, still playable though not collectible.
And the best condition of them all(NOT):
Gamestop condition- manual looks like it was used in an emergency for toilet paper, may retain some funky smells to it, disc/cart looks like it was fought over by rabid wolverines with multiple surface and deep scratches/gouges, original coverart is missing and replaced by some generic crap with the game name on it, almost always guaranteed to be near unplayable, throw this crap out instead of trying to sell it.
Of course, most surface scratches and a few lighter deeper scratches CAN be buffed out with a professional resurfacing machine. However, the Disc Doctor is NOT a professional machine, since it leaves a distinct pattern on the discs, which makes them look uglier than when they had scratches.
If you have a local Gamecrazy, they can buff out any minor scratches from the discs for around $2 a disc I believe. However, the professional machines leave behind a whitish 'haze' on the discs done on them. It is very easy to discern which ones have been redone and which ones have not.
I hope this helps you to evaluate your games a bit and price them accordingly and welcome to CAG.
