Deciding to keep or sell games can be tough!
Anyone else have trouble selling games? Feel like you might want to have it for your collection or library of gaming, that you may want to play it again sometime 10 years down the road? Well I do...and I think im the worst for it...well not the worst as Im sure there are some video game hoarders out there haha (thinking chairs made out of old SNES cartriges, half the room buried beneath PS1 and PS2 cases lol)
Anyway Im gettting much better lately as I always used to hang on to my old games, never trading them in for money or credit....but now I have found a way to at least get something back, instead of a dust collection of games that seemed much better years ago.
Ive been using a site called Kijiji, which is a used website...you probably have something like where ever you live, as it a great way to avoid getting ripped off at places like Gamestop where they will give you like $5 for a $70 game you just bought a week ago. Anyway so far I sold COD Black OPs (35$) and Alan Wake ($20) to random people...not bad i think.
I was so tired of Black Ops, and still got more than 1/2 what I paid for it 7 months after release...Winning. As for Alan Wake I was really considering keeping...but honestly wasnt that great of a game and the ending still has me confused. The best part of Alan Wake for me personally was that I got the free DLC by photoshopping a reciept and emailing it to a guy from the company, as it never came in my game case when i bought it.
So im improving my bad game hoarding habit haha, and getting some of my money back that I would usually let waste away. Especially if just not a real classic that I would to want in my collection.
What about you guys, keep or sell? Do guys still used game stores to return games? If you do try looking at used online community site, it may take a bit more effort but you will most likely be able to double the value of the return!
Ted out!
I know only too well that this can be a tough call. If you truly think you can live without the game then by all means, trade it in. Course, as you said, you only get so little with each game so if you're looking to make good cash or get a nice size of store credit, make sure you have a lot to trade in.
ReplyDeletei used to trade games in at eb games but i only sell games i know i won't go back to on ebay.
ReplyDeletehey buddy, this is a very good blog post, I am highly impressed...
ReplyDeleteanyway in regards to keeping or selling games,
you know my thoughts.
if it's Mario, Zelda, Final fantasy , dragon quest, mega man , you keep that shit.
not only are the game highly re playable 20+ years later, they also remain desirable and valuable.
I think you should make a collection video dude.
your nerd/gamer cred would go through the roof.
game that are released once a year you could sell off ... unless it's a collectors edition
example Call of Duty limited edition collectors box set. or what not..
anyway I am out, and comment on some of my blog posts. I haven't posted since the Batman review, but hopefully I can get some stuff up soon, thats worth posting
like always peace out chicken bone nowison
