To sell or not to sell....that is the question

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!
