Title: Trade-in values?? Post by: iwannabeahic on November 29, 2005, 09:00:18 PM How do the stores such as funcoland figure out how much they give for used video games?
Title: Re: Trade-in values?? Post by: Antimind on November 30, 2005, 02:06:57 AM No idea honestly. I have buds that are managers at GameStop but even they have no clue.
I do know that some game values make no sense what-so-ever. I just traded in some games at EB here in Winnipeg so I could grab up 2 360 games. Here's what I traded and the store credit value (which is always higher than cash). DS: Goldeneye $15 Nintendogs (all 3, $25 each) XBOX: NHL 06 $15 Pariah $10 Unreal Championship 2 $5 **NOTE** I actually -made- money on this deal. I paid less for the games when I bought them in the states...lol Keep in mind those prices are in Canadian dollars... Title: Re: Trade-in values??

In anycase most places give you 1/4-1/2 of the price they will resell or try to resell it for. Title: Re: Trade-in values?? Post by: Tynstar on November 30, 2005, 06:24:16 AM Trade in value goes by how popular and new the game is. Plus how many the company has in stock.

I wouldn't have been interested in Nintendogs, but I would have bought GoldenEye from you at that price. Title: Re: Trade-in values?? Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on November 30, 2005, 05:34:06 PM I took Killzone, Way of the Samurai and Medal of Honor: Rising sun to EB games about a month after Killzone came out. They were going to give me 8 count 'em 8 bucks store credit. I scorpion kicked salesman and walked out. Don't go to EB.

If you're in Indiana and find a Mcvan's store, go there to trade in/sell games (cause you'll obviously just be driving through Indiana sometime with a bunch of games you don't want) because they give mega moolah store credit.
