Has anyone sold old games on ebay?

I have a few PS2 games that I haven't played in a long time. Do you reckon I'm more likely to get a better price on ebay than trading them in at Game (or similar)? Can you get cash from trading games in or is it vouchers for the store?

Here are the games:

GT4 prologue with bonus dvd
GT concept
Tiger Woods 2001
Need for speed hot pursuit 2
Need for speed underground
grand theft auto vice city
SSX tricky
SSX 3
James Bond agent under fire
Stuntman
Formula 1 2001
Airblade
Pro evo 2,3 &4

Is it a good idea when selling on ebay to try and sell stuff in one lot or group similar games together?

Any advice is much appreciated.

Edited to add: wish I could change the spelling in the title!

I have.

I find that for old games, you can usually get a couple of quid plus another couple of quid postage.

Or you could post them in the Game swap sticky at the top of the forum and swap them for something else. Might get more out of i that way.

I'd probably give you a few quid for a couple of them I never got round to buying.

I find that Choices video give the bext PX prices - much, much better than the £2 or so GAME give.

If you trade at Game and get the money in the form of one of their Gift Cards, you get 20% extra over the cash alternative. However, they still rip you off !!

Ebay/Private Sale is best bet !!

I took a copy of Halo 2 into Game just last week and asked how much for trade in, a whole £5 !!
Looked in the second hand game section, they were selling it for £19.97 !!

Thanks for all the replies. Think I'll just stick them on ebay and see what I get for them.

Game swapping is a good idea but I don't have a lot of time for playing games just now.

Maxf - send me an e-mail if you're interested in any of the games.

Don't forget that a lot of people will be put off because they know there is a posibility that the previous owner has made a copy of the game key. Having said that I recently bought the Generals/ Zero Hour pack for £12 delivered and it all works ok

Most of the decent games only come into their own when played online IMO.
