I used to trade stuff in all the time and be reasonably happy to trade with them until today. I took 20 games in - for PS3 and 2 wii games. I turned them down.

They also ask what you are interested in trading for, I had fallen for this in the past, when I told them what game I wanted - and guess what Why do they bother to check every disk and booklet you bring in for scratches, but then try and sell you discs that look like they have been scrubbed with sandpaper and wiped their arse on the booklet?

I understand that business is business and profit is the key - but the whole idea these days is to rip off some poor kids It would be interesting if Gamestation staff use the trade in service or if they even think its a rip-off?? It used to be great and now it sucks!

Rant over! Game have some of the lowest rates of trade in that i have ever come accross. CEX has very good rates for trade in Blockbusters too from what i have heard. Game aint never gonna see me again in their shop that's for sure. Well I used to get good deals from GS but I got exactly the same price offered to me in GS as in Game - but considering they are pretty much owned by Game - its no shocker! I only used to trade in Game or GS because I prefer to buy new games.

As we have all spent alot of money on an expensive console, I just refuse to put in a preowned game that looks like the dog ate his dinner off it! That is daylight robbery. The result? For the hell of it, we put up an ad on Craigslist, just to see if there were any bites. This was written in all caps. And underlined. And bolded. Just to be clear on something: Greenfield is two hours away by car.

Maybe a nice sail frog from their troubles. You might remember Glyde from their campaign arguing getting kicked in the balls was better than using GameStop , and to their credit, Glyde might actually be a fair, workable solution. The problem is largely in the details.

It works like this: you list the game for sale on their site. Once a buyer is found, you get sent a pre-paid mailer, drop the game in the mail, and collect the cash.

Wipe them clean before trading them in. For consoles and other items, keep them in the original packaging along with any accessories that came with them. Clean them off before attempting to trade them in. Trade in games and devices that are still useable. Gamestop accepts video games, consoles, accessories, and even devices like iPods, iPads, and smartphones. These products have to be in working order.

Store employees test trade-in items before accepting them. Just like how you wouldn't want to pay for something that doesn't work, you won't get credit for broken things. Gamestop stores have machines they use to test things like controllers. Expect store associates to even plug in consoles and controllers for a test. The exception is retro games and consoles.

This is because Gamestop refurbishes some products for resale. Select in-demand games to earn more credit. The most valuable products are ones that are either rare or popular. Many modern games are most valuable when they are new because more people are buying them. Unless games belong to a popular series, they will decrease in value the longer you wait to trade them in. Some franchises are always popular.

Anything related to Mario, Pokemon, or Zelda, for example, usually has decent trade-in value. Hold onto older games until they increase in value. These items are no longer in production, so working copies become more valuable over time.

If you happen to have something relatively uncommon, then it will be worth even more. For example, the Playstation 2 PS2 and its games are no longer in production, so they may become more valuable over time. Pay a fee to recondition damaged games you wish to trade.

If you have a game or device that can be fixed, you may still be able to trade it in. Gamestop may offer to refurbish the game for you. It reduces the amount of credit you get, so determine if the trade is worth completing.

Game discs, for instance, can often be refinished to eliminate scratches. Even with extra promotions, damaged discs may barely give you enough credit to get a single used game.

Part 3. Bring all of your trade-in items to a Gamestop store. The items have to be taken to a store in person. This will make it easier for them to sort out and price the items you want to exchange.

That includes accessories, such as charging cables for handheld consoles and phones. Wait for the store employees to test and appraise your items. The employees have to test each trade-in item before they can offer any sort of credit. They will make sure it is functional first, and then they will examine its overall quality.

Finally, they consider its demand. After all these factors are taken into account, they offer you an equivalent amount of credit. Usually, the only difference is them offering you less credit for items that are damaged or otherwise in poor condition. Choose store credit instead of cash payment to earn more.

When a Gamestop employee offers you the choice, make it clear you want credit. Gamestop always gives out more credit than money. The difference becomes significant when you trade in multiple items. Take the credit, then put it toward new games, gift cards, or merchandise! Check out a local pawn shop or yard sales.

You can also check eBay or Amazon. Not Helpful 4 Helpful 4. Not Helpful 2 Helpful 1. Yes, you can. Not Helpful 2 Helpful 3. They accept most, if not all, the Pokemon DS games. But they won't take any sealed games, so you'd have to remove the wrapper before trying to sell it.
