Chaps

I have around ten PS3 games that I don't play any more, and I want to go and get a new game. Who generally offers the best trade-in prices? I have access to GAME, Gamestation, & GameXchange. Any other tips on getting the best prices? I considered Ebaying them, but Ebay seems to be becoming more trouble than it's worth at the moment, and ideally I'd like to trade these games in tonight or tomorrow night.

Cheers

I Ebay all my old games you always seem to get a better price. I have sold 6 or 7 games in the past 6 months and never had any trouble. Games aren't really of high enough value for someone to ask you to "ship it to Nigeria/Western Union transfer of £3,000/Pigeon In your Bank Vault" Never had any problem at all. I made profit selling 2 games, Both bought for a tenner and sold for around 17 smile

Price them on CeX and Gamestation will give you Cex price + £1.

Cheers Jake. If I wasn't so impatient I probably would Ebay them on 7-day auctions, but I want to go and get Just Cause 2 tonight or tomorrow paperbag

Great. So if I print out a list of CeX's 'We Buy For' prices for my games, and take it to Gamestation, they should honour those prices?

Only if there is a local CeX, I'm afraid. Otherwise Gamestation will (at least in my experience) decline to abide by their price promise.

Ah. They all seem to be 150+ miles away from me. Shandy drinkers wink

Those prices + £1.

Closest to Glasgow is Edinburgh but they honour the promise. Worth a call to your local Gamestation to ask.
